THE DIFFICULTY OF CHOICE.

But this is incom- | patible with the modern demand for cheapness | and the necessity for turning out everything by | machine and in quantity. “This cheapens and | raises the general standard of attainment: but age of mediocrity which few inches abové or below the level. GREY AND WHITE. It was remarked last season that soft shad of grey and grey and white were in high v and some examples of grey refinement in these tints were given. This season grey and white | Is more fashionable than ever, and indeed it has become a sort of furore among young ladies in xociety, whose grey morning dresses, with | square tucker of white muslin or transparent iawn, delcately tucked, straight skirts, and small tucked or embroidered white aprons con- stitute somewhat demure, but most certainly very charming toilets.

Now the grief of the mother at the loss | of the dauhter she loved found consolation in a lavish outpouring of rich gifts upon the head of the unconscious baby she had left. It was | five mouths old now, and to be short coated. ; This was the oceasion for the outfit, which in- ; eluded nineteen real lace dresses. a coat of | white corded silk, hand embroidered, and trimmed with real wide duchesse lace. a white elgth coat lined with silkand trimmed with Flor- ‘entine lace, and a lace cap, a marvel of soft waves of lace and narrow ‘satin ribbon and marabout feathers. : | In the department where this order was ex- | jecuted hung a silk quilt of very dainty work: manship—some of the pieces embroidered, some hand painted. This quilt was made on and sent from the “free bed” of a hospital by a | Woman once rich, who had spent thousands of | dollars at this same store, but now thankfuily availed herselt of the interest of one of its pro- prietors in an *‘institution” to procure a shel- ter—a place to die in, and this means to die de- | cently. Her husband had speculated and lost. Her health had deciined. She had no friends willing to take in and provide for a wowan used | | to Iuxury and dying of cancer, and it was | | throush the interest of this pitying merchant, largely of light grey mohai who had known her in her prosperous daxs, that | she was so far retieved from her terrible posi- | tion as to be placed under shelter and kindly cared for. IMPORTED COSTUXES. This is an “off” year, and all the buyers from Paris agree that it is very diMcult to find attrac- tive novelties. Fashions abroad, when they “teh on,” as our slang phrase puts It, always | last two years; so, although there may be an | effort to get up something striking to please er must lie fallew sometimes, or it would not be capable of the great efforts which are expected of It. There is no lack of dis tion, however, in the costumes as exhibited by a yeung and enterprising firm ef importers and | ¢ dressmakers in west 35th street. Among the + most noticeable was a lovely toilet of golden brown changeable silk, combined with helio- hot. with goid and coverdd with The lighter shade, lace covered, da pleated vest and narrow front, the, lower sides of the front being flounced in dell- | cate Mechlin in a maiden-hair fern pattern, and the upper portions covered with paniers of the | golden brown silk, which also formed full train | and basque. A dark shot silk, in ruby and | | bronze shades, was covered with fine black | Llama lace. producing tie color effect of old | Venetian glass, and a velvet dress of Ottoman, combined with rich velvet figured grenadine, | was dazzling with showers of sparkling jet, | which covered the entire front. A great deal of lace is used, principally Mechiin, or rather an | admirable imitation of it. Some’charming white | dresses were of Surah or Ottoman. covered in| front with ruffles of delicate lace in the maiden- | hair patterns, which Is a great fav- | orite, and combined with _ embroidered | crepe, the embroidery in small dots, satin} tins A thick satin, w with plaited fron d brown, was made urmounted bya small apron, bordered deeply with an exquisite net work and of golden brown and bronze beads.

The ccaching hat is dis | tinetively English. It is lar; of fine split | | straw, with moderately high crown and straight brim, which is taced w olive or bronze. | The exterior trimming is mass of soft lace ai feathers, with enamele or bugs nestling in | their folds, the insects being real, of the most brilliant tints, and riveted upon perforated gold | plates. to which the pin is attached, which fas- | tens them and renders them eligible for di decoration. The walking hat is more round Jess boat-shaped than forme! It is always in | colored straw, dark or grey biue, brown or rock | , or ecra. The trimming is velvet. in two | colérs or shades, and alarge wing, birds or a group of mushrooms. The English bonnets are sma'l aad cottage staped. A favorite trimming upon straw is | grey black or wound about closely w twisted silver ¢ lijaes, buttereups and | meadow grass or nat- | ural white clover, are the principal feature in | the deeoration; and to thes: of soft white | two narrow rouleanx of velvet, | ruby, i. lace | “bow under the | 1d pins used last | needies are em- | to fa-ten ribbons or lac ny of the | at little flies and buttert no pin | more and often a lace cape id headed with a b nd of satin pleated or bon. and flowers, or ganze crepe, the silver leafed ge tard and cress in quantities b effective. Feathers are disappearing tine. for they have been literally trailing nist. ‘The new gauze crepe is a lovely materiat for millinery purposes, and much used in white, je pink and blue for bonnets for evening wear. For this purpose it is embroidered or brocaded in tiny dots or leaves, and the crown Js shirred so as to form upright cords. The brim is closely puffed, and sometimes. speckled with fine gold or siver, but the dotted crepe effect is more re- fined, particularly as the Marabout feathers, whien constitute the principal part of the orna- mentation, are powdered with gold, and fall in a shower over the front. These bommets are ex- quisttely light, soft and delicate—much prettjer with a light toilet than the gold-braided cro which every one Is tired of seeing. WIMTE TOILETS, Great quantities of white dressez are being sold, 80 doubtless many will be worn. There is one comfort about them—they have established ers and soft | ium or mus- | In the | variations from year to year are not important. This year the favorite style for girls is very simple. It consists of a round tucked skirt and worn with a ribbon or velwet belt. A rosette of narrow velvet or satin ribbon is attached to she corsaze. The overskirt is often only an apron with wide tucked sas! the whole, of course, trimmed with aacde some of which is very fine and beautiful. pikity style for making these white aes dresses is with the ower front in upright tucks with wide embroidery be- tween, a round apron edged with handsame em- | broidery and a sash tied over three deep kilted |flounces at the back.

The small richly trimmed mantles, the halt | cloaks and the fussy garments of every descrip- tion, are carefully avoided by stylish young | Women, who cling faithfully to the close fitting | Jacket. the jersey redingote, and the small high j fitting shoulder cape. In this they are guided by good taste and correct judgment. Fichusand fussy things,as a trimmed basque or bodice, add to the apparent age of the young, or rather de- tract from a fresh and youthful appearance, and should be left to older women who wish to dis- tract attention from the evidences of their ad- vancing age. The new mantelettes are extraor- dinarily rich and effective. They are made of vet tigured grenadine, lined with shot silk, in some shale of brown, or ruby, or vio- h gold. The body part is a mass of glit- embroidery in amber and ruby and tering bronze, or the embroidery may be executed in hollow jet, and the edye finished with soft. full silk chenille ana Jet fringe above ruities of lace. More severe styles consist of small capes and mantels of Escurial lace, whic} is effective in it- self and does not require: the addition ot either lace or fringe. Smallcapesand coilare of lace, or jetted net fitted tothe shoulde, are among the things which are noi exactly naw, out are! constantl. form, an taking oy gome littie variation of are so convenient as an out-door ad- ‘ dition to a toilet that does not require a gar- ment for warmth or drapery that they always find purchasers. Summer ulsters and dusters will be made or alpaca. It is cool. does not take dust, and is serviceable in | traveling so long as it does not get rained upon. Thin waterproof silk is most useful for protec- tion from showers, as it is hardly a feather in welght, and can be put ap in the smalf®st com- pass. Silk parasols are now almost- universally coy- ered with piece lace cut to fit the gores and stitched into the seams—not made whole, as formerly. Around the edge is a full ruche (hot rafle) of lace, the pendant edge being often ‘formed of flowers. This floral adornment is rarely seen upon any but secondary parasols, such as are used for races or an excursion by coach. The finest things are always simple. and real lace would be vulgarized by artificial orna- mentation. There are many parasols of cream- colored lace and surah, with bamboo sticks, and a great variety in flowered satine with lace bor- der, natural orange wood or olive wood sticks. and a bunch of white clover tied tothe point where it closes. The greatest novelty in lace-covered parasols follows the fashion of the fronts of some of the | new dresses, and lays side pleats in silk covered with lace Parasols of this description are hecessarif@@emall, and the pleats form a fluted fan, shape something like the fashionable ‘‘ac- cordion” plait ‘he effect Is novel and pretty, but they are e: me YACHTING OUTFITS are attracting attention, as so much yachting is to be done this year. A lady who is to accom- pany her husband upon an extended trip has just had asuit made of terra cotta flannel trimmed with grey and embroidered upon the grey with blue, yellow bronze and terra cotta shades, the embroidery forming the monogram and insignia of the yacht. For a dinner dress she has had a short costume of. Jacqueminot satin very richly trimmed with ruby bronze and amber beaded trimfing and fin- ished with gold embroidered lace ar- ranged at the neck as a Marle Stuart collar. A wrapper of white opera flannel, lined with soft silk plush, is for cabin use. ‘The ma- jal is embroidered ail over with little figures ik and gold. Suits of white flannel are to be much used, mounted with terra cotta or grey, worked with terra cott: The blouse savaist, with kilted or pleated skirt, is largely used, but the case is one which calls for Lady Harberton’s divided skirt. Nothing could be more suitable as a compromise for a yacliting dress. —es ELECTRIC Miss Lulu Hurst i Creating a Sen- sation in Georgia, THE | From the Aflanta Constitution, Miss Hurst gave a performance tast night in Gainesville. lier father has determined to make her manifestations a permanent source of reve- nue by traveling over the country with her, and if her success for the past three months may be taken as a standard trom which to base an opin- jon, she will most certainly make her father a | very rich man. She has now been on the road only about three months, and her receipts show the large sum of nearly £10,000. In reality she has only given performances about one-third of this time, or say one month out of three. Her ployed a regular advance agent. The avent was seen yesterday by the reporter. “Where have you been giving exhibitions?” was asked. “Well, we bave now been to nearly all the smnaller cities of the state, and have also been a considerable portion of Alabama.” “What has been your succes: “We have had the most enthustastic audiences everywhere, though some of the-houses have ) been small the first nizht.

She will form a delight- ful planetary study for the naked eye and also for telescopic observation. Seen through the telescope at elongation or a few days after, she takes on the aspect of the moon at her last quarter, half her disk beng iHumined. Then, like the moon, she becomes a waning crescent, less and less of her enlightened surface being turned toward, but increasing in size as she ap- roaches us, more than enough to counter balenos the lessened light. At theend of the month she has nearly reached her culminating iat, while her high northern declination adds foane length of her stay above the horizon and the favorable conditions for observation. The beautiful jdanet is specially Mteresting on ac: count of the stviking resemblance she bears to the earth. In size, in density, in posttion in the system, in the length of her revolution, in the time of her rotation, in the ion of an atmosphere, in the form of her orbit, and in the amount of light and heat she recefves from the sun, she is more like the earth than any other member of the solar system. She is our near- est planetary neighbor, and, if a moon were following in her track to cemplete the analogy, Venus atid the earth would be the twin sisters ofthe solar family.
