SOCIETY TOPICS. *I'he foolish old father who spends his life in accumulating money for his children ought not to expect them to learn towork. Even the Dbes cease to gather honey in a land where flow- ers are always blooming.§ A newly-married couple, waiting for a train at Ottumwa, were so lavish of taelr affections that a moral policeman felt it incumbent upon him to scparate the Jovicg pair; and the two hearts that beat as one were compelled, at the hareh dictation of the law's minfon, to remain apart until train time. Ladies who are curious to learn the latest caprice of fashion, and all lovers of the artistic aud beautiful, will be interested in the opening of the wholesale and retail millinery firm of H. R. Dunn & Son, 260 Wabash avenue, which will take place Tuesday and Wednesday nest. This is the first formal opening given by the firm in Chieago, aud they have spared no pains to make it a success, A privato inspection of some of the beautiful and stylish imported and New York pattern hats and bonnets, as well as the elezunt -Parls mnoveltics in flowers and ornaments, warrant us in saviug that the display will hiurdly be surpassed by any of the openings that will follow. The firm have had an experi- ence of over twenty years, and have adopted the strictly cash and one-price manner of doing business, thus _enabling them to offer their goods at from 15 to 20 per cent lower than any other bouse in the city. i Miss Sherman, the future Donna Cameron, is recorded as baving made the best visiting time of the season,—forty-nine calls in oue after- noon. A Rochester man huog a sign fn tront of his lace of business, which reads: “Twenty-five oafers wanted to stand here.” They don’t stand there. As an indication of the returning prosperity may be mentioned the experience of the whole- sale milliners firm of Gage Brotners & Co. This house had a formal opening of their pat- tern department for the trade last week (the firt eyer given by a wholesale house in the cits), but the attendance of buyers from the interior was o great that it was found impossiole to properly accommodate thew, and the firm have found it pecessary to anuounee another opening for Tuesday. Wednesday, and Thursday of the coming week. A Florida doctor has succeeded in utilizing the orange blossoms, which drop by millions from the trees, and are usually left to decay. He distils from them something which he calls orange-flower water, and the ladies pronounce it superior to the average toilet perrumes. Wolcott & Co. have recently received a fine stock of ncw pictures. Framies made in best mauner, and in simple or elaborate styies. Re- gilding done at low rat The hero of five wives is a Mr. J. F. Goodrich, of Clarksburg, W. Va., who is a revivalist, tem- perance-lecturer, ete. He borrowed §10 of the minister that married him the fifth time, and owes the editor oi the Burlington Hawkeye for the wedding cards. He was an enthusiasti: worker in minor religious mectings, and carried the young ladics captive with his eloquence. The most enjoyable feawure of the admirable concert given in honor of Signor Farini at Her- stiey Hail last Thursday evening—aud the affair was full of enjoyable features—was the music evoked from the wrund piano furnished for the occasion by W. W, Kimball. The instrument was a concert grand of the Hallet, Davis & Co. make, and. like all the_vianos produced by that eminent firm, it proved delightfully satisfactory to every cultured ear. The entire audience was enraptured with its rich, noble far-reaching tones. . A woman will face a frowning world and cling to_the man she loves through the most bitter adversity, but she wouldn’t wear a ha three weeks behind the style to save the Gov- ernment. - = Amoug all the brillisnt *openings of the coming week uone will receive more attention from the ladies thap that of the popular whole- sale and retail millinery firm of Hagedon, Boyle & Co., which takes place Wednesday and Thur: day at their retail store, 155 Wabash ave nue, just south of Field, Leiter & Co.'s build- ing. The successof this firm in similar displavs in Tormer seasons warrants us in saying that the showing of clegant Parisian novelties and trimmed goods will_be one of the finest ever shown in Chicago. No pains have been spared to make this the leading -attraction of the season. 1Is there a woman in all this troad, sunny land of ours who doesn’t belicve tbat carving- knives are created and kept sharp and nice for the sule purpose of splitting kindling and open- ing fruit cans? . Asarule, one good brisk wife, who takesa pride in her mission asa talker, is cqual to six high-pressure telephones. We have heard more than a dozen express as- tonishment at the extraordinarily low prices on all kinds of furniture at Holton & Hildreth's, 225 and 227 State street. They arc_determined to sell, as you will sce by their advertisement, and, as they manufacturc very largely, can afford to lose retailers’ profits. An English sailor, just discharzed from a British man-of-war, attended church in his na- tive town, aud albeit unused to the restrains of church decorum, kept quict until the miniscer yave out his text. which was: * Who will go up with us to the battle of RamothGilead?” Upon repeating it with great caruestness, he was sur- })riscd at Jack getting vut of his seat and, look- ng around with contempt at the congrewation, roar out, “*Ye cowardly Iibbers. Will none of yezot Iwill go for une,” and out be went, giving three cheers at the door, tothe great as- tonishment of all. Chicago is justly celebrated for the character and extent of its millinery trade, in which line it excels all Eastern citics. This escellence is due to the enterprise of such representative firms as D. A. Hewes, who led off with one of the first “openings” of the season at their place, Nos. 156 and 153 Wabash avenue, last Tuesday and Wednesday. The display of ele- gant noveltics was greatly admired, and showed that, for excellence of material aund tastein making up, this house need fear no rival. An exchange says: ‘A French surgeon named Dr, Micrduc has discovered a new stuff that peoqle can get drupk on.”” Well, let him keep it. \What this part of the world wants is a new stufl that pcople can get sober on. A great many new designs in pottery, orna- ments, and scrap-book pictures just in at Lueb- ker & Co.%s, 144 Dearborn street. The Haprood Spanisn arched instep sboes and unexceptionably large assortment of fine slippers at M. Wheeler' & Co.’s, No 74 East .\lugison street, must be scen to be appreci- ated. Lord Roseberry, who married Miss Hannah Rothschild the other day,is a much greater man than is generally supposed in America. The general supposition in this country is that he s merely a member of the Houscot Lords, 2 millionaire, auda seotleman of more thun ordinarily elegant leisure. Nothisg could be turtber from thetruth. Lord Roschbery is far more than all this: He is the editor of a news- paper. The short walking-dress for.ladies is rapidly coming into use. Aside from giving its pos- sessor an opoortunity to show a pretty foot without making a show of it, this sensible lash- ion has two other advautages. It gives ladies he full use of both their bands while walking, and enables them to go home with decently clean underskirte,~two comforts that a zood many of them have not enjoyed for several years past. Nearly all ‘the elezant specimens of Ceramic art for the vresents at the [ashionable weddines of the past week were furnished from the col- Iection at Ovington’s. The national debt is being reduced slowly, but surely. A Mrs. Hansen put 350 fn a vacant stove-oven at Dubuque, and the curreucy was Dbadly cremated the next morning before break- fast was ready. We hear of 2 new music hall in connection with the spacious new piano store of Julius Bauer & Co., Nos. 263 and 265 Wabash aveuue. The first floor wdl be devoted to the sale of the famous Knabe and Bauer pianos, the second to a music hall, and the rest of the building to musical merchandise. . The old colar, *“ashes of roses,” so long out of fashion, will be revived this summer. The_beautiful new styles'of papering, done by T. V.

The wife of the Spanish Minister took her first walk in Washington the other day, becsuse she had a new walking costume, too sweet not to be shown. The dress came ouly tothe ankles, was made very plain, kilt pleated, of green velvet and bourctte.. Hor liat was o chip, with a wreath of hops, and she wore an amber netklace of beads, as big as peaches, and trans- Iucent as sunlight. The lady is about 26 or 28 years old, beautiful, with munners fascinating. The winter season of the Chicago Natatorium will close with a solrce dausante on Tuesday cvening next, and from the character and ex- teay of the preparations it promises to bea thoroughly enjoysble affair. The swimming- schiool, which was so popular last season, will be open about April 15. One of the societies for the protection of poor girls in New York is waging a bitter and unre- Jenting war on a cluss of the most despicable swindlers in the world. They advertise for pirls to learn the book-folding business, and when an applicant comes to them they bind them to work one month for nothing, promising good pay afterthe expiration of that time; butas soon as the girl's month is up they- discharge her, and fill her place with another victim. They can all “talk™ low prices for furniture, but, our word for it, you won’t reeret priciug at the Chicago Caroet Comoany’s, 233 State street. At a fashionable wedding iu London, the seven bridesmaids wore dresses of ruby velvet a 1a Princesse, with gold ldce collars ‘and velvet hats of the same colors, with ostrich feathers. C. P.

Already over S11,000 worth of furs are in storage with Bromwell & Co., 161 State street, who store and insure against moths aud fire, [n:nd of charge when sacques are to be lengthr ened. The young ladies and gentlemen of Phitadel- phia complain that the seats in the parks are only big cnough for one person to sit on, and are placed so far apart that a quiet chat caunot be indulged in unless each party is provided with a telephone. Ladies visiting the dry goods openings of Wednesday next please bear in mind that you will find all the latest novelties in dress and cloak patterns at L. P. Wyant's new rooms, No. 158 State street. A youue Philadelphian won the lovely daugh- ter of a wealthy merchant upon representing that he was making $100aday. They were married, and it has since been discovered that he does make that handsome sum, but it is in the Mint, where his salary is but 314 per week. In proof that a really good article of wearing apparel will tind ready sale, 8. F.

A progressive youth in Bultimore, named Jamison, bas been reading Rodinson Crusve, and in consequence thought, dreamed, talied, and finally acted Robinson Crusoe, for last week he disappeared from home taking with Lim two coats, a loaf of bread, six egus, and §2.25 in money, which he borrowed from ncighbors in his mother’s name. Mrs. Jamison, his mother, is taking the matter philosophically, and tiinks that he will come home azain about the time he exhausts his money and provisions. We learn that Mr. Ballenberg has gone East to mect his private importations and pick up novelties in millinery. There scems to be an idea abroad in this country that Kusscugur clevators in botels and business blocks are always out of order. This is not true.

CONFIRMATION DRESSES. Special Correspondence of The Tribune, New Yonrxk, April 5.—Many modistes are busily employed just at present in making up “confirmation dresses,™ soon to be used. Thesce dresses are now quite important garments, and much care Is taken in their sclection and con- struction. The most suitable materials are Swiss, orzandic, and cashmere. Their most dis- tinciive feature is simplicity, which fn this case can searcely be too severe. Not that there should be 2 scant, bare effect, but whatever ornamentation there is should be chaste and dainty rather than coospicuous or elaborate. Several I nave seen exhibit different styles, each of which is admirable and appropriate. One, of finest white cashmere, has a straight, plain skirt, beautifully shaped, and baving a very dcep hem upturned on the outside. Tie hem 5 about, six inches deep, and is finfshed at the top by a nar- row piping of white satin. The waist Is made with a yoke, on to which is pleated in very fine pleats tho lnwcr portion of the waist. A nar- row piping of satin cdges the yoke. The loose portion of the bpodice falls just below the hips, and has an inch-wide hem upturned with the satin pipine. A scarf of white cashmere, very wide, confines the waist at the belt, and is ticd gracelully on the left side. while the ends, finished With a’plain but handsome silk fringe, fall low upon the skirt. It would be difficult to imagine any costume more pleasing and in better keeping with the solemn occasion on which it will be worn. The soft, clinging folds of the cashmere, the deli- cate, creamy tone of the fabric, the simple ele- gance of design, are all extremely fittinz, An- other dress for asimilar oceasion 16 of fine white that 15 almost uailt! The orzandic of an excellent i’ -wool materinl. 85 softand pliable as an underskirt, just escapes the tioor all around, and j is trimmed by three narrow gatbered rutfles. The polonaise of the same, pretty material is quite long in front, and presents a tablier with squure corners; the pack shows three ends, hav- ing the middle one longer and broader than the other two. The bottom of the overdress in front and the edges of all the squares have a borderlng of & Darrow rufile, seantily gathered and finished with a tiny but very fine Valenciennes lace. The neek, both back and front is cut sughtly surplice, aprettyana becomine inrovation, andis timshed by a double gathered rufile, lace-cdged. The siceves do not reach quite to the wrist, and are trimmed to correspond with the rest of tue costume. Simple _knots of inch-wide white rib- bon dot the dress here and there, sod, altogeth- er this is s eirlish, tasteful, and appropriate toflette. A third confirmation dress is of white Swiss, very sheer and _soft. The underskirt is ornamented by three finely-laxd knife-pleatings, each about a finzer decp. After being attached to the skirt, the lower edze of each plisse is cut in rather large round scallops. The over- dress Is open up the front to_the belt, and at the side-seams is slightly fnlled in. The back is very prettily draped, and bas rounded corners. The overskirt has all its edees bordered by the scalloped pleatings, The waist is a basque alit- tle more than half-tight, and of charming shape. It and the sleeves are trimmed to suit the other parts of the dress. This is au extremely tasteful dress, and bas been copicd for several other youny girls. A MORE ELABORATE COSTUME is prepared for a young lady who will be con- firmed on Pentccost. This ceremony, by the wav, is zausing some anticipation, as the voung Indv, a recent convert to the Episcopalian Church, belongs to a prominent and aristocratic old family, and formal invitations have been issued for the occasion. Her dress is of white organdie, marvelously fice, and of an ivory tint. The underskirt, which has a long train, is trimmed with :hree gradusted flonuces, the widest about twelve inches decp. Each flounce is bordered by a rich and rare Valencicanes lnce some three Inches deep, and which I may tell you par parenthese formed a not unim- portant item in the trousscau of the voung lady’s grandmother. The overdress consists in tront of three broad diagunal folds, each finish- ed with a row of lace, and over the lace border- ing the lowest fold is to be placed a handsome fringe of natural lilies-of- the-vallev. The waist is made with a yoke, a style fast gaining in fayor among young ladies of slizht and symmetrical fizare. The yoke is formed of diazoual rows of fine Valencienues insertion alternated by ecant flat puffs of or- gandie. The termination of the yoke is marked by a row of Valencienncs lace. The lower part of the walst is gathered into a belt of white satin and fasteved at the left by a bunch of natural lilies-of-the-valley. Asmall bouquet of the same will be placed upon the corsaze at the bosom. This dress is somewhat ornate but not too conspicuously so, for the materials are simple, girlish, and uoaflected, and the flowers are not showy nor out of place. Indeed, vatural blossows never arc. Sometimes long veils of illusion or Brussels net are worn thrown over the bead. In cases of Uatholie confirma- tion this is invariably the custom, and it is often * followea by Episcopalinus. White gloves of silk or kil and a tasteful shoe or sliper.complete the outfit necessary for the occasion. The covering for the foot may be either black or white, but the abominable shoes of colored kid cannot be too strongly con- demned. The vivid blues and pinks are io wretched taste, unless worn with 2 full evening toilette or at dancing-school. In addition to this, they greatly enlarge the size of the foot fn appearanve, making it seern large and ungaioly. A peatly-made, well-fitting black shoe is always suitablé and bas ever a good effect. THE OPENINGS continue to excite unabated intercst. Each day something more attractive than before is shown. To-day, smong other pretty things, I noted a handsome suit of rich Havane of a dark shade. The skirt is of plain sili and hus two scantily- gathered flounces of damask brocade of the same hue. Thesc flounces are bordered by un inch-wide band of plain brown silk. The over- dress is a polonaise of chenille bourette of tae exact tint. It is buttoned diagonally across the front and is _ finished at the bottom by a deep and handsome chenille fringe. Above this fringe is a heavily corded inch-wide fold of silk. The sleeves are of pimin sitk, with cufls of damask, and larze ornamental buttous of tortoisc-shell. The diaronal front is closed with the same. Thesc buttons aro a novelty, elegant, ani expensive, and admirably suited to the various brown shades now in vowrue. A very beautiful dress is of blue sitk and bourette, showing a delightful blending of blue and pale amber. The underskirt of the former has the front trimmed across the foot by a deep box-pleating. The sides and back are orna- mented by an_equally deep Kilt-pleating. Tho train is very long, und i fan-shaped. The polonaise of “bourette has the sides so arranged that they meet over the back part of the drap- ery, and are joincd under alarge bow of blue silk piped with amber. The bottom of the polonaise is cut in points, which are edged with a double piving of biue and of amver. There is a heart-shaped vest of blue, and a aeep roll- ing collar of the same. The vest i3 edzed at the bottom by a light, but handsome, silk fringe of both colors. . The elecyes are of blue silk, and huve a novel and pleasfog cuff. It is deep, and is cut in three points, the centre ooe being lougest. The entire cutf is formed of alternate pipings of blue and amber sill. The effect is striking and attractive. To accompany this toilette is a bonnetoi finc white cglp» Marie Stuart in shape. The outside is garnished by folds and loops of double satin ribbon, bluc and amber. The brin is edeed bya row of cut amber beads, and a larze and highly-ornamental pinof the same holds in place handsome feathers of both colors. The face trimmine consists of fine whitelace, richly wrought with most minute amber beads. : A very elezant toilette of black silk and vel- vet showed considerable novelty of design. The skirt was very loug and had an extremely scaut flounce of black velvet about half a yard deep. ‘The bottom of the flounce was cut in points, which fell over a pleating of black silk. A heavy and very haudsonte fringe of cut jet bor- dered the poiots, and above it was an claborate jet galtoon. A similar galloon forms a heading for the velvet flounce. The polonaise is a quaint mixture of silk and velyet, the former being arranged in a sort of boulfant drapery, while the latier falls over it straight, rich, and plain. The handsome fringe and galloon border the velvet wherever it is used. The waist has a simulated vest outlined by eailoon. The chicf feature of this vest 1s that it is thickly embroidered in cut jet, and has a ‘most britliant effect by night. A toilette subdued-and tasteful, but stylish and noticeable, is of black silk -and blue cloth. This Jatter is of a very fine licht texture, and in shade is a beautiful dark blue, The nnderskirt is simply trimmed with a deep kilt flounce, pleated in clusters. The overdress ot cloth is of a novel and pretty shape, and is _ornamented by four rows of gilt braid. Thestylish coat and well-fitted vest are similarly trimmed, and are besides embellished with round, flat gold but- tous. To be worn with this costume is a jaunty and becoming hat of fine black straw trimmed with dark blue silk, and having about it the merest trifle of flue gold cord. A band- some gold ornament and a cluster of rich red roses complete the trimming, These walking coats and vesis daily increase in popu- Jarity.. They are vastly becomning and are com- fortable in the extreme, and it is not often a garment combines these two desirable features, in addition to beinz fashionable. THE KILT SKIRT for promenade purposes is v much admired and worn. A very handsome and stylish one has the skirt of light brown with an upturned hem edged with chocolate color. The searf, laud in folds about the bips and kpotted loosely at the left, is ulso of the darker shade, andis finished at the ends by a deep netted fringe. The vest of the dark brown is closed with small old buttons, which oruament the coat of the lighter material. The cuils and collarare of the dark color, and the hat ot dark felt is band- ‘ed by a licht brown ribbon. The hat is in shape a Derby, which is the style usually selected for wear with such a costume. Sometimes a soft felt hat like a gentleman’s replaces the Derby, bLut 2 bonnet or a very dressy hat is decidedly out of place. Uudressed kid gloves are consid- ered more appropriate than any other, and four and six buttons are the number most worn. This costume is to be commended in every par- ticular, and the soouer it becomes universal the betser for us all. Marrz 8. ————— Nrs. Lott's Death. Pors Jercia Gaseite. In Vernon, Sussex County, N.

Grain was really weak, and prob- anly wonld have sold stilt lower had buyers ap- peared in nnmbers sufficient to meet the offerings. ‘The markets for wheat and oats declined at the outset, and corn and barley followed suit, corn being depressed by the fact of big reccipts, inad- dition to the weak tendency duc to Enropean ad- vices, or the lack of them. There was no war news, and some ramors were afloat to the effect that the peace party in Russia is being listened to more willingly now tnat Western Enrope is stronger in combination than was anticipated. The English grain markets were quietand tame. Jobbers of dry zoods had & busy day. Inaadi- tion to a lorge order business, many buyers were present in person, and our merchants exoresa en- tire satisfaction with the present state of trade. TThere was 2 liberal movement in etaple and fancy grocerdes, and a fairly firm set of prices was wit- neesed. Sugars were active and & full jic higher, cut loaf advancing to 105@11¢, standard A to 8% @9%c. and yellows to 8%@8%c. Coffees and teas were irm. The demand for foreign and domestic dried fruits was liberal, and prices were again quoted steady and unchanged. Fish were quiet, with sait-water deecriptions ruling easy. Thero was a moderate demand for butter and cheese at about previoue quotations, though the feeling was dopressed and a declive 1n prices scemed immi- nent. No changes were noted in the market for oils, palnte, and colors, trade coutinuing fair st about steady vrices. The leather market was again quoted duli and unsettled. Bagging, tobuc- co, coal, and wood were unchanged. Lumber continaes to meet with an extraordinary demand, the shipments being far above theaveraze in April, and the market Is strong at the late ad- vance. The trude is heaviest with the new country West, which the Mississippl River markets are an- able to supply. The outlook for the log crop is no better than it has been. It is thougnt that the Lake Michigan lnmbermen will bave a fair stock, ‘and that the production in Western Wisconsin will be short. If such should be the case, the local market will likely be an active one during the ca- zon. The inquiry for sceds was rather light, but re- cent prices were maintained, though some varie- ties were in fuir supply. Hides, wool, and broom- corn were unchanged. The bay market was quict and steady. Poultry was in fair jocal request. Egas were firmer, and the bolk of the receipts zold early to the city retailers. Rail freights were quict on the basis of 23c per 100 1bs on grain and 30con other fourth-class 1o New York. Lake freights were in fair demand and steady, on the basis of 2}4c for corn and 3c asked for wheat by safl to Buffalo. Room was taken for 40,000 bu wheat, 98,000 bu corg. Throuzh rates by lake and canal to New York were quoted at 10c on wheat and 9¢ on cornj and 11 and 10c per do via lake and rail. Through rates to Liverpool were quoted at 50@ 51c in specie per 100 b3 on grain and 57@58c on provisions. IN¥ NEW YORK SATURDAT.
