SPRING FASHIONS. Dresses that are Just too Lovely f A . and Others that are ‘aca twne New Honnet—Satin and Satines— 4 Revival of Mourning—Fan- cies and Caprices. from Our Own Correspondent. New York, March 30. It is said by sociat philosophers that we travel from the homogeneous through the heteroge- neous, and from the heterogeneous up te the homogeneous again—only it is first the homo- geneous in its crude forms, and lastly the homo- geneous in its highest, most refined and culti- vated modes of expression. Accepting this statement, it does not take much study of s0- ciology to discover that we are in the hetero- geneous st: pment so far as our clothing is concerned, and that progress must be mare by individuals toward the higher plane, and not expected from the aggregate mass, whieh can nev more than the mean aver- age result, and is composed largely of elements directly interested in stimulating the produe- tion of thousand unnecefary acce what we call our civilization.

Her arms tothe elbows were covered with dull wrinkled gloves, pale tan color in shade. These beautiful toilets involve more elaborate styles of hair dressing. The hair combed close to the head and arranged in a plain knot at the back does not admit of much ornamentation beyond a comb, and does not add to apparent weight or dignity. A more effective cotffure is required to crown the masterpiece of the mo- diste’s art, and so the puffs and curls and aig- rettes are gradually being reinstated. ING DRESS. In the meautime the young who have not much can rejoice that not much is expected of them. The newest satines, which show increas- lng lov ign and delicacy of coloring and shading, are more in harmony with the blos- fing season than the costliest satin, and is better than all that mor age. beca it still posse: ts of its illusions and its 1g and sitimer dresses, Js freshness and free- or bardens simple cloth attractive be: ain that the beauty of the cloth, the mi of the tt and the nicety of the tinisi In winter a border ot fur meat.

The magnificence of evening and indoor dress- img finds more striking exemplification every @ay, since enormous fortunes have introduced a atyle of living which seems to demand dress which shall be somewhat in accordance with its Baxury and splendor. But this has at least one food effect—it prevents the absurdly frequent @hanges. Ifa lady has a dress whose panels of | eoft thick satin lave each been painted by a great artist.or whose embroidered front breadth @f solid gold cannot be duplicated, she is not going to throw it aside after once or twice Wearing; but, in a way, her robe becomes so famous as her jewels, and ts reserved like them for the grandest occasions. A beautiful dress worn at a dinner recently was of the richest pale biue pink eatin, the front breadth embroidered thickly with silver in @ lovely wheat and clover top design. The train was pleated and plain, but arranged as &@ watteau, with side draperies arranged as pan- Sere and as surplice folds of embroidered silver gauze. The dress was low and sleeveless, ex- eept a little veiling of the gauze caught up on the top of the beautiful arm. An aigrette of | ag teathers and silver wheat was worn in the Ir, which was arranged high and inclose ir- Pegular puils and soft curls in front, Tain trains are now universal, the bunching Up of the rich Ottoman satins and brocaded silks Ye ab act of vandalism that cannot be borne, and thus with the richer erials have come in Plainer designs. but much finer and more elabo- Fate workmanship.

AMERICAN SILK. It is not generally known that New York is the largest center of production of American silk, yet St is true, one manufactory in 42d street turning out 5,000 pieces per day. Of these at the present time not one is what Is known as “plain” black silk. So. thoroughly did ladies become disheartened and discour- aged with the adulterations and deceptions | practiced upon the old gros-grain and faille silk that they relinquished them almost en masse. and the gales ceased to be sufficiently nt to warrant the employment of chin nd force in its production. Besides, the demand for figured fabries—damasks and brocades, the new ottomans and the useful and inexpensive surahs—became so great that the force was concentrated upon them and the plain silk left to the importer and the spun silk manufacturer. The principal black silks, therefore, are the rich, ribbed ottomans, the armures and the twilled surahs, some of the latter being light but close and durable for linings and toundation skirts, others satin fin- { ished and most serviceable as well as most effective fur suits and costumes, particularly for combination with velvet. There is also an extra ality of surah which is suitable for mourning, De combination ith cashmere, and for endur- ing costumes. The armure are also used in mourning and for combination with fine black cashmere; but they rule higher than surah, even the extra quality, and many prefer the surah be€ause of Its peculiarly quiet and unobtrusive character. The ottomans are of course therichest in black, the handsomest qualities almost surpass- ing, at least In fashionable pre-eminence, the ex- pensivebrocades. Thechoice, however, islargely @ matter of taste. The ottomans would be pre- ferred for costumes where only one fabric was used, and looks exceedingly well in combina- tion with velvet; but the brocades are very ap- propriate for reception dresses and for trains with a tront of embroidered satin or satin cov- ered with embroidered lace. Many of the mag- nificent brocades in colors, supposed to be im- ported, are of home manufacture, and will bear comparison with any imported silks except in the number of colors combined in one pattern. The majority of the American brocades are in two “tones,” but they are perfectly pure, and Sell from #2.50 to $3 retail, while the Imported goods of the same class sell tor $4 and $5. The colors are very good and comprise all the new art shades,which are much softer than the old purples and garnets and plums and majen- tas. Such tinte as apricot. crushed strawberry, pale almond and raspberry red are wonderfully fine In the satin finished Ottoman silk, and though unsuited to the street, make beautiful dinner and theater dresses, with lace and a series of diamond ornaments to fasten it, as is the vogue just now. But the question with American manufac- turers is how long will fasion in any particu- Jar direction last? “It costs a million ot dollars to put In the machinery and adjust the forces to supply the demand fora new siyielike the new damasked figures and brocades, and the Process cannot be repeated too often. As it is, purcha: ave to pay a large profit because of the risk to capital, consequent on the sud- den caprices und changes of the mode, which are neither good, therefore, for buyer or seller. REVIVAL, OF MOURNING. It 4s rather curious that the Increased employ- ment of color in dress has created a quite new interest in mourning for deceased reiatives. For & time, while black was a “uniform” upon the streets, and, of course, much worn indoors also, moutuing as mourning perceptibly declined. Round her neck was.a chain of d brutal | green in reference to | ground which dresa | Only the strictly conventional, who were in so- clety and who could afford it, still adhered to the custom. The majority conveniently wore their black as usual, omitted, perhaps, some of their adornments, but made no other change— a practice, indeed, which some still follow who have more sense than money or time to expend on the details of their attire. It is a fact, how- ever, that in exclusive circles the very strictest rezard is just now paid to the early depth and later gradations of mourning toilets. The widow's bonnet is a small capote of double English crape, the crown plaited or composed ot cords laid closely together; the small brim ot two little puffings, beyond which is a plaiting of crape composed of three strands, the width of those used in the crown, braided loosely to- gether. Thisisall. The bonnet is small; all double crape and entirely free from ornament or trimming of any kind. Later, say at the end of six months a row or more of dull beads and ies of three duil bead ornaments, the beads size of peas, and devoid of luster, may be placed down one’ side of the brim. Later still, at the end of twelye months, crape may be dis- continued, and armure nted, and the dail bead ornaments indulged in more proruse- ly, the crown perhaps embroidered with them. Jet, however, is not worn by a widow during e lirst two years after her band’s death.nor els, except she happens to have pearis for ear-rings or solitaire diamonds h the setting is not visible. first dress is fine Henrietta cloth, with front or panels or deep border and close paniers of crape. The bodice is finished with a collar, which also forms a vest of crape. Sometimes this is laid in fine folds, and is more becoming in this way, but some modistes consider that folds are out of place until three months have elapsed, and some use numerous round cords trimmed upon the cloth as braids, and these inake a very neat finish. Crape is not discon- tinued until the end of twelve months, nor until that time can any white interior plaitings be used for neck or wrist. but crape at the throat is intolerable in summer, and biack crape lisce a delusion. Soft sewing silk net with a dull finish is therefore used |for interior plaitings, and during the second ye white fine plaitings —_ of India musiin. During the second summer also | ladies can enjoy the luxury of black canton crape, and may use the embroidery material for jtrimming. They may also use ornaments to | Some extent, if they are dull, and not gold or in | colors, or otherwise of a showy character. A necklace of duil antique silver coins would be considered less out of place with a’second year | mourning garb, particularly if it had some ken- | timent connecting it with the departed, than a necklace of black, shining jet beads, that had been bought in a common store, and had no ‘ociations to soften their ostentatious vulgar- Probably widows console themselves for the | severity of their discipline in public by a re- | moval of a little of the torture in private: other- wise the American “relict” and the charred re- mainder of the male Hindoo would have much in common. i aust Fancy! | White toilets are mere masses of embroidery. | The newest satines are combinations of apri- cot, red raspberry, strawberry, or grey tints, plain tints with shaded roses, palm leaves or bulbous blossoms on tinted ground matching the plain material. | Small buttons are used, but speckled in colors | to match fabric . | New spring pelisses are made of mixtures of | silk and wool in Indian or Persian patterns, and \in Oriental blending of colors.

Gradle, professor of physiology of the Chicago Medical College, delivered an interest- ing lecture on “The germ theory of disease” re- cently. The professor attributed a large propor- tion, if not all, of the diseases to which flesh is | heir directly or indirectly to the presence of par- asites, known as bacteria, which were only visible by the aid of a powerful microscope. Fifty thousand in single file would scarcely cover an inch. They were very prolific in the lower | orders of plants and were to be found in decayed | fruits and vegetables. Vinegar and cheese con- tained more or less of them. These germs were more to be feared in the air we breathe than the food we eat. Healthy persons kaye the power to combat disease, but the weaker we become the less able are we to throw off the effects of these germ-poisoning parasites. In France and England disease germs were grown outside the body,and herds of cattle had beeifinoculated against splenic fever. The doctor hoped the time was not far distant when scarlet fever, diphtheria, whooping cough, ete., could be vac- cinnated against just as smallpox now is checked by that means. Fresh air in a sick-room should be had at the expense of taking a slight cold. ‘rhe physician or nurse who went into a close room where a typhus patient lay took their lives in their | hands, while the patient could be treated in a | tent In the open air without danger to lls phy- sicians or attendants. The doctor was particu- lar to say that typhus must not be confounded | with typhoid, as the former had not made its | appearance in the west yet. He explained how | the skillrul surgeon protected the wounds he made in perforining his operations from these deadly parasites, as they were everywhere pres- ent, by driving them from the location of the wound by medical means. He combated the idea thaf linen from old, worn-out garments was of service in dressing wounds; it was very likely to contain disease germs that would irritate the wounds. These disease germs, he said, would produce consump- tion, and persons who were hereditary con- sumptives were more liable to be injured by these germs. A great many more people, he asserted, had consumption ina mild form than people were generally aware of. He deprecated the absence of spittoons in halls and other pub- lic places; they should be placed at convenient places, with enough solution in them of a ne- ture deadly to expel the disease germs, and they should be used and no expectoration on the floors permitted. as diseased matter was broken upand ecattered through the air as soon as dry. Asnong the questionsasked the professor after the conclusion of the lecture was one “whether People should eat only vegetables to behealthy,” je replied in the negative, aud said that animal OF LETTERS REMAINING IN THE Oe at CITY POST OF FICE, SATURDAY, MARCH 31, 1883.
