From Our Own Correspondent. ‘ New York, March 2, 1888, Its curious and beautiful thing In this world that life is always young and always being re- created. ‘The joy of a new birth comes with each returning season, and one almost feels ashamed of ‘the pleasure one feels in the ever-recurring mira- cle of the fresh grass and gay, processional flowers, One even recognizes with something of the same welcoming interest the new spring mate- rials for dresses—the pretty cottons and lighter Ussues which harmonize with the outdoor season and the revum of lightand warmth. I am sure, if I were aman, I should be particularly glad in the spring to have women in the world; and I Would not have them without their lights and colors, their fads and fancies, their changeful fashions in dress and all the elements of unex- pectedness which give new aspects to life and make it interesting. If women can feel thts charm in other women, men ought to be still more sus- ceptible to it; and, indeed, some of them are. If they are not they are calloused or naturally insensible. What a funereal assemblage the gath- ¢ring of people, anyWhere, would be if women were uniformed in black cloth, like men. “The principal difficulty,” remarks some poor bewlldered woman, Who cannot decide between the multifa- rious collection of designs and fabrics submitted to her, “4s tomake a choice. For my part I would rather be obliged (o submit to a standard.” But that ts just what she can do, it she so minded; she nay be tree or in bonds, and still be in fashion. ‘VARIETY OF STYLES. ‘Those who are not satisfied with the latituddlal- lowed them, with the efforts made to suit diver- ‘sity of tastes—and even purses—must be very hard to please, and ought to glance back at the Successive fashions of the past fifty or one hun- dred years to realize the actual and immeasure- able advance all along the line of woman's cloth- Ing from almost all points of view, specially those of Warmth, protection, adaptability, and general becomingaess.

It fs easy to calculate, nowadays, upon the fa. ture and anticipate the season, especially those of spring and summer, because 80 many of the best and standard fabrics reappear year after year andthe changes are simply matters of detail, hardly recognizable except by those who closely follow successive developments in design and pro- duction, ‘The plain and mixed wool for suits, ‘the Scotch zephyr ginghams, the China silks and’ pon- gees, the linen lawns the printet, India slik ‘which are a specialty and only come tn seven y: lengths, the printed cottons and white worked cambrics, all these, together with the plain, black silks, surabs, Diack and colored, printed wool de- laines called '“chalites,” real challies now known as “Bengaline,” and the family of mohairs, beige, alpaca and the like are as r gularly put forth as spring leaves and blossoms and they meet every real Want. The changes in them are, as before remarked, mere matters of detail. ‘This year the new spring Wools show very lai checks and plaids; many of them impossible any but tall’ women. The ginghams em- brotdered and open-workea effects. “The China ailks, very quaint designs and oid colors, yellows and browns, old rose, green and black, white and Culna blue, in patterns which seem, to’ have been copted frou: res and vases, The “chailies” Tepeat the designs which had guch a success in eheese cloth last summer, and the bengaline, which is a fine mixture of'stik and wool, appears in modest checks and dainty colors, with a little stripe. ‘The newest surahs show squures in two close ‘shades of one color; green, govelin blue, golden brown, grey, stone color and others, includ: ing a very pretty pévunia shade. ‘The squares are marked off by almost invisible lines of contrasting color; pale blue and olive, rose pink on dark green, white on lighter or grey and yellow on n brown. ‘This color reappears as lining to ne Interior edge of the basque and other parts of the costume, and as small, folded and pointed vest.

BLACK AND WHITR. ‘There is a great deal of black used this season, and particularly very new combinations of black as trimming upon color. Black ribbon bows and Sashes are put upon pink, green, and Gobelin blue cotton dresses of fine gingham or chambray, and with a large hat of black chip, with a spray or Duneh of flowers at the side repeating the colors, look really distingulshed.
