From Our Own Correspondent. New Yorx, April 30.—Mr. Julian Hawthorne Yemarked recently that modern literary work- ers—speaking of this country—take themselves “too seriously.” This fs true here of every de- partment of life and even of the dress women ‘wear—it is “taken too seriously.” It is not en- Joyed. Itis worn toset an example, to illus- trate a style, to be equal to an occasion; very rarely for comfort or ease or pleasure. It is said that women have a special faculty tor making martyrs of themselves. This is undoubtedly true. It istheirs by inheritance: for since the early days when women were buried alive with their husbands In order that they should have their servie> and companionship inthe next world; down to fifty years ago, when ina town in New York state th» selectmen put the name of # dfunken “ne’er-do-weei” on a brass me- inortal table. th thatof his wife—who was a public benefactress—because it “would not be Proper for the woman’s name to appear with- out thates the man and “would give rise to ideas sa>versive of natural authority on the Part of women”—women have had to suffer imore or less—trom no fault of their own—and they have acquired a habit of it. This habituai subjection to authority, this faculty for martyrdom, is the only hypothesis upon which one can account for their frequent eptance of the uncomfortable and unbecom- ing in dress and the ingenuity by which they nding duties out of so much | unnecessary and superfluous. The only an be found for them—and that ght one—Is, as aids to seif- | S$ good to feel obliged to be equal to | o ‘nstintain one’s place,eved if it | ag the wearers of EASTEK BONNETS, Bonnets, by the way, have come to the front | this season, literally ‘as well as figuratively. | ‘¥ show an almost infinite diversity and | ny new aad striking features, The “dress” bonnets—pur excell are small; set close to the head and are pointed up at the back, The trimming forms steps or ladders directly over the trent, rising high; sometimes in a series of double loops, sometimes in a mixture of ribbon Joops with grusses; or th exhibit vows of em- brultered lace or gauze with light, spear shaped heaued ‘ss The transparent jetted bon- Bets divide ihe honors with the pretty flower | bo which are the Parisian sensation; | ther ean be said to be new; for the though wi transparent bonnet, erming much such a fan- | lastic head~iress as’ now—only not rising so high—was fashionable many years ago; and the flower bonnets have be since the smuail bo: now nearly ten ye ‘There are new te: this season, however, 1 more or less in Vogue ts re-asserted their claims, | and the low, moist localities in which the cow- | under the leadership of ladies connected with 20f, solid wools with patterns in the selfcolor woven in the ground, that are lovely; and the touch of velvet upon ‘these gives them istinc- Linens do not enter enough into the calcula- tions of ladies who want cool and economical dressing for the summer.

HOW FASHIONS COME. Fashions now receive their {mpetus from many different sources; notably from the art industries, which in New York have given us some beautiful and original fabrics as well as novel methods of decoration. The most charm- ing dress worn at a recent Nineteenth Century ¢lub meeting, was by Mrs. James Brown Pot- ter. It was of old gold tapestry silk with a sun- set glow to it; and it was made very artistically with high, puffed sleeves and outstanding col- lar of gold embroidered lace. ‘The lo in had ‘an edge ot plaited strawberry silk and eream lace, and the square bodice had a full front of the plain silk with lace finish. The fabric was one of the beautiful silken stuffs de- signed by Mrs. Wheeler's society of Associated Artists; and manufactured for her by an Amer- ican firm of silk weavers. Mrs. Wheeler has also designed @ soft, summer silk which is adapted to dresses us'well as summer portieres, ‘The design is entirely her own and consists of Yellow cowslips with sedgy, ollve tinted foliage on a sand colored ground and with an inde- seribably suggestive atmosphere of out of doors slip is found. ‘ashion in London has accepted with enthu- siasm the beautiful embroidery upon linens for dresses and the fine drawnwork for underwear executed by the peasant women of Donegal art decorative societies, while the finest laces in the trousseau of tie Infanta Eulalie came from Erezegeberge, a district which has been made famous in Bohemia by the hand-work of the women who profit by ali new ideas in a way which shows marvelous skill, enterprise and industry, ‘The Donegal embroideries upon cream linen show butter-cnps and cowslip patterns in na- tural colors upon the pretty costumes for coun- try wear, and furnish many suggestions to the clever fidgersof decorative Workers in this coun- try. GRADUATING DRESSES are always a source of troubleand anxiety with expectant graduates from school and college, at this season. A few may be able to sendor give their order to a competent dressmaker; the ma- jority “worry” over the difficulty of making an adequate appearance out of inadequate re- sources, The best thing, probably, that the majority can do,is to procure one of the ma- chine embroidered white muslins, make it up with full, open bodice and wear cream, pale yellow or eet capag atin belt and ribbons. but if they would begin a year betore and em- broider in a delicate,all-over pattern, or in lines or with border for drapery, a fine white wool or linen lawn, What a dainty costume could be Which have never appeared before; and one is | the insertion in the transparent crowns of the | dainty little, “jetted” bonnets; a jetted comb, | which is set exactly as it might be in the hair! sometimes in front asa sort of coronet; some: | limes at the back surmounting the twist or | The term “Jetted” is not inaccurately xpplied to colored us well as black beaded hamentation; and there are bonuets formed « @ mixed net work of sinall bronze, ruby or amber bewds outlined with larger ones and | dnished with comb and aigretie to match | Which constitute the entire decoration.

There Is a furore Just now in London for home dressmaking; and to encourage It a ball Is to be given at Willis’s rooms in May, at which the tollettes worn by the ladies are to be exclu- “home made.” One of the obstacles to dressinaking at home, with us, is the fear of not being like everybody else. This bondage is a kreut source of weakness. We eduld afford to be a little fantastic in order to be free, simple und expressive, LACE. Lace In the piece and for dress purposes is than ever this seasov, and costumes—so called—are as much in de- maud as ever. Black lace over cowslip yellow is greatly admired, but It ‘s more used for parts ot Skirts, for vests and the like, the rest consist- ing of the lace over black—than_ for complete toilettes. Laces which furnish distinct outlines suchas ‘the Escurial and Venetian are now sought by leading modistes, both abroad and at home asis for the beaded embroidery used for vests, panels and the like: as it is found so much more effective, while requiring less work. Complete toilettes of black satin fran- caise are made with this mixture of Escurial outline with eutjet; bonnet and fichu both of iescurial lace matching the flnish of the dress. if the Escurial lace is bought with the fine jet work well done it wil} be costly; but a lady with leisure could Basily bead the required parts of such a costame for herself, and it would then be no more expensive than any ordinary dress of black silk. SUMMER DRESSES. Some charming summer surahs have been made recently in delicate colors, such as apri- cot yellow, “daisy” pink, celery green and cream white, with transparent drapery of silk muslia or gauze; embroidered in jardintere The dresses are complete without the ery and are made with narrow flounces the lower front of the skirt. The over- not ful! and forms a point on one or sides of the rufiled front and a stripe at back surmounted by an immense bow. he bodice is deeply pointed front and back and filed in with folds of the embroidered muslin. A pretty combination in soft surah is ob- ed by the union of pink with Nile green—a. iavorite combination of color many years ago. Ivis now used in silk to form separate stripes upon skirts of delicate cream wool; which are then covered with ribbons ofcreain embroid- ered gauze the width of the stripe. These ex- tend irom the waist to the feet and form braces upon the bodice. Color and handwork have become the chiet tests of that indefinable “style” which is so dear to the average woman. The finer shades oi color and all “art” colors only appear in the best_and purest class of fabrics, and are hever to be had as “bargains” or in’cheap” mate- rials. HAND WORK VS. MACHINE WORK. Hand work 1s not only distinguished from y. The designs differ from each other, one possesses the cachet of the owner's or worker's taste. The machine embroidery is certain to be “run into the sround;” but hand embroidery will grow in favor as it grows in beauty aud in the power to produce natural Sin colors and design in needlework. The most beautiful of recent designs have been executed upon lace and linen, and have formed part of several expensive trousscuus, In the white embroideries intended for brides’ dresses, the shading and tints of white flowers are perfectiy reproduced in a mixture of sil with dull satin and pearl beads: and beautiful Mowtont Mysreav: ATHRILLING SENSATION DISCOVERED BY A WIDE-AWAKE POLICEMAN. ‘The bells had jast announced that midnight had ar- rived, when alight wagon, to which was harnessed a @ark horse, stopped in front of a pretty cottage on east Sth street. Asthe sound of the wagon wheels ‘ceased a faint gleam of light, asif a match had been struck and suddenly extinguished, shot from an upper window ofthe cottage. The next moment a third- story window was cautiously raised and a man’s head the window. “Yes; everything is all right,” sald the driver of the wagon, who had dismouated from the vehicle and was hiding beliind a tree-box. Atthis momenta third figure appeared upon the scene. It was that of policeman, who had observed the stoppage of the wagon and the mysterious signal at the window. “Do you seo any lights down stairst” queried the man at the window. “No: it’s as quiet as the grave. Quick! Let down the rope and come o! For a moment the head at the window disappeared, and when it was again thrust out an excited voice ex- claimed “It’s all up with us, Bill?” ‘“Grent Scott! What's the matter?” “Why, the landlady must have expected that I was about tojump my board bill, for she has nailed my trunk to the floor. What shall I do?” “Dor” exclaimedthe man on the sidewalk. “Why, skin down the rope and come on. Never mind your trunk. Don’t you know that Vietor EK.
