In one of the scenes of this play Marie Antionette appears in a gown of white muslin over pale blue taffeta silk. A fichu of the mus- lin edged with two ruffles crosses in front. The skirt of the dress has around the bot- tom a single ruffle with a pretty beadmlg\. | The sleeves have the same adornment. | white Leghorn hat with pale blue ribbon and a white ostrich feather was worn, and | Paris, the critical, pronounced the tout ensemble charming, chic, etc. Lately I saw at one of the openings here a collar of Russian lace, square in front, with epaulettes over the shoulder. Black satin ribbons were to tie about the neck. It was finished with tiny bunckes of the iolets and primroses. Another pretty affair was on the fichu style, but could not be called a fichu. It was a com- bination of pale green satin ribbons and lace. To make an evening gown more dressy it would be useful. A gown which will appear this Easter- tide is of drab and white spotted crepon made with a bodice having white satin | revers outlined with narrow Valenciennes lace, the center box plaitals being of white satin buttone vith emerald buttons sur- rounded by nonds edgedron either side with Valenciennes lace, while the throat of | LATE STYLE TAILOR GOWNS. ch permits the wearer a welcome change from the stiff vest, which may be of old friend with a new face is the Nor- acket shown this season, which prom- ises to be most popular. One very sty jacket shown in a w York store is of tweed, with the box pleats from the waist at the back sitting loosely, the belt ter- minating on either side with a button; revers in the front, and the basque cut so that it sits over the hips, and. the sleeves ar: med with straps of tweed buttoned, t irt of the jacket showing & t at the side seams. This 3 when worn over a shirt, a waistcoat. A waistcoat of red and drab checked “Tattersall,” the tweed displaying several shades of brown, is considered vi swell. It is no wonder that the blouse continues to flourish among us, for from Paris come, Tweed Morning Dress.—The bodice has boz-pleat in front inserted with black veivet, outlined with satin and a velvet waistband. by every steamer, the most distractingly pretty models for every age and suiting every purse. One made of a black brocade with pink cyclamen meandering over its surface is very chic. In front it boasts draped revers and displays adainty wais coat formed of tucks of lawn joined to- gether with black satin ribbon, outlined with ecru guipure. The stock collar 1s of the lawn and the sleeves balloon. Another blouse for a young, slender, fair girl isof a pink taffeta silk with a mon- strous collar of tucks of lawn and lace of the most exquisite texture. Bothof these blouses are costly garments, but .simpler ones in the same styles' are exceedingly fetching. You will note that the great coi- larsand half handkerchiefs in fine lawn edzed with either simple frills or lace to be much worn, and are becoming to all styles of women excepting those who are high shouldered. I presume they became the rage in Paris when *‘The Queen's Collar’’ was presented in Paris, for in poor Marie Antionette’s day the most fascinatingly sh ) | the fair wearer will be encircled with a chiffon collar which develops into a frill on either side of the box plait and disap- | pears into the belt at tfle waist. The | sleeves of this gown show a novelty, being very full and caught up with brown satin ribbons, while the back of the bodice is held in place by a very broad sash of the ‘krown. which falls with long ends to the hem. The mother of one of the prettiest of our debutantes has just received a gown of Lyons black satin, which has the front of the skirt and side panels traced with jet and green sequins; the bodice has a sort of butterfly drapery in the front, also e: broidered with the sequins, at the neek is a folded cravat of water-green silk covered with_black net embroidered witn jet and sequins; the full sleeves are also made of the water-green silk covered with the em- broidered net. A dress I greatly admire comes from the dressmaking establishment of a well-known New York firm. It is of one of the new chine -silks in pale pink, with a small de- sign upon it of leaves and flowers outlined with black. The skirt is very full and has plaits i the front, each showing a center panel of embroidery formed of silver and pink beads. The bodice is a blouse of white satin embroidered in silver, pink and jet, and has a yoke piece and center vest of accordion-kilted pink chiffon, while the white satin collar band is again em- broidered with the beads; the belt is of black velvet and the sleeves are large and full, made of the white satin with deep bands of the embroidery. This blouse can be worn with many different skirts, and is exquisitely tasteful in design. A French modiste here now has a very chic imported gown of pale green crepon, adorned with dark green velvet embroid- ered with cut steel. The bodice is one of the newest in cut and finish, in fact every fold of the skirt, which is the only one of its kind I have seen, announces that itis direct from Paris. A shot silk in dahlia tone and brown with a brown lozenge pattern upon it is interesting because the back of the skirt gsowa a distinct novelty in the way it is set, falling from three narrow pipings about four inches below the waist, these pipings again appearing at the shoulder seam, while the bodice is covered with a tracing by Sgold and brown beads in stripes, between which appears brown chiffon, lined with the dahlia color. A tea gown of China silk with a monstrous lawn and embroidery collar falling into pleats to disappear at the waist is an unexpensive and loyely garment. Tea jackets are g0 much worn also that I was sorely tempted to purchase one of pearl-linea” satin, brocaded with pink roses, with a tabbed basque and a bodice ot:mk, soft silk veiled with lace. iriend of mine has had a handsome black-velvet gown of hers remodeled with much taste, as the sleeves are mow of handsome l‘pmpadon,r silk. The ground {is of a pinkish shaé=, and it is covered with large, dark pink roses. The silk ap- pears a the front of the skirt, making a very fashionable dinner gown out of one which was quite out of date. Several new silks are being shown. Among them are the new chines with in- finitesimal patterns, just the thing for blouses with the dainty laces or embroid- eries, and a very pretty goffered China silk is on the Eastern counters and will be here shortly, I presume. It is to be found in great varieties of colors, but is more at- tractive in blue and white and red and white. Cloths with Jain surfaces are wonder- fall; Eo ular this season, sharing favor with the Venetian cloths which appear in | delightful oalorinlgs. Some grays and greens are especially pretty, also I admire the blues and vivid browns.. A new plain cloth, toe, has an infinitesimal twill on its surface, and some of the very light chevi- ots, taking almost a biscuit tone, or a gray that merges into white, boast here inter- woven checked linings of singularly har- monious tones. The very light gray, for instdnce, appears lined with a check, show- ing a vivid stripe of green and violet, while the light fawn shows brown and red, and a shade of gray shows blue and cream color. The face cloths give good reason for the continuance of their fashionable exist- ence in a good shade of reseda green and navy blue with a very hri%l;t note in it and a brown which hovers between chest- nut and tan color. Hats are ]ar%ely in the style termed “Empire,” the characteristic high crown, and the edge of these have ruches of silk- bordered chiffon, while feathers stand erect in the front from a rosette of velvet, which has a tiny jeweled buckle in the center. | " A novelty is crinoline straw embroidered in silver spangles, and another novelty isa brown straw with tucks of black stiaw at intervals all over it. Facinating chapeaux are shown for young people and among these are the arge Swiss hats, combining in the straw two colors, such as green and yellow or reen and violet. They are simpl{ rimmed with large loose rosettes of silk gauze and can be had in any mixture of color for both children and grown-up people. MARCELLA. A NOTED CRAFTSWOMAN A long glass-lidded case filled with jewels and goldsmiths’ work of unfamiliar beauty. Behind the case sat an earnest-eyed, quiet- looking lady. She rose and greeted me pleasantly. A few moments later she had opened the case and had brought forth | some of its treasures, which I looked at with admiration and touched, for that reason, all the more timorously. ‘“Take it | into your hand,"” she said, reassuringly, | | of alight bragelet of finely-wrought fili- | gree; “it is quite solid. That design is | taken—and when I say taken, I mean | adapted, for I never imitate—from a brace- | let 'shown in one of Holbein's portraits. | You remember Holbein was himself a working jeweler as well as a painter. He never represents an ornament in his pic- tures that is not a practical design.” “And what wonderful enamel this is!” I 'exclaimed as a wreath of rose leaves in the | most delicately melting tints caught my eye. ‘“Ah,” she replied, ‘‘the secret of good enamel is to use only 22-carat gold. Only the finest gold takes enamel proverly. | That necklace? I am glad you like aqua- | marines. SodoT,and I think they look | well with the bright ruby color of the enamel true-lovers Ennt! that are threaded | between each stone. The brooch that you | have in your hand is made of a sard scara- | beeus 2000 years old. Here is a crystal dol- i vith a black pearl in its mouth. That | s the Renaissance style.” | Then I asked whether a drawing might | | not be made, as jewelry, like every other | form of art, can only be proved by its own ks. But this request was courteously denied. “I1 never repeat a design,”’ said | the mistress of the establishment. ‘lf a lady tells me that she permits her own ornament to be copied for a friend, well and good ; then I have it reproduced. But {1 sell my jewelry on the understanding that each design is unique, and will never | be multiplied, except with the purchaser’s sanction, consequently I must not let my | designs become general property. There | are,” she went on_with a rather ironical le, “a few people still left who like to s an ornament thatisindividual, that machine mude.” “Then do you mean that machinery | plays much part even in jewellry?’ “Oh |a very considerable part. Machinery is used in order to produce goldsmiths’ work | cheaply; but the machinery itself is ex- | pensive. Consequently the expense is only | recovered by a large output of articles the ditto of each other.”” What a vicious | circle it is! “And you have been a designer for some | time?” T “saiq, tentatively, wonderin, | within myself fow this clever lady ha | conguered a terra incognita to women | without any loud sounding of the horn of | | victory. ‘‘Some? yes; about thirty years,” | she added. “But where did you learn it?” I asked. ‘At Bouth Kensington.” ““What, at South Kensington?’ “Yes; | they used to teach design very well in | { those days.

Like other zonng ladies, my ideal, of course, was to ecome a painter and to draw the figure. But it happened one day that I was set to design a pattern for a carpet, and Sir Henry Cole saw it. Now, Sir Henry was rather despotic where the individual was con- cerned; his one thought was for the honor and glory of the school. 8o, when he espied my drawing he said, ‘For.the future {ou shall design nothing but carpets, young lady.” After that he had one of my de- signs sent to a large carpet manufacturer, who replied that he liked it, but it did mnot fulfill practical requirements. The manufacturer then went on to say what the actual requirements were, giving the ruled measurements for weaving, and concluded by promising that, if I could master these details so as to make a design in accordance with them, he mettle, and giving my mind to the subject I mastered (\gt in a short time sufficiently 0 offer a practical design, which the man- ufacturer, who, I believe, was not a little surpriséd, accepted.’” 2 ““Yet you became a goldsmith?"’ “Yes, and in a manner’ accidentally. Hr. Brogden, the jeweler, of whom, no doubt, you have heard—he was a most ar- tistic man—asked me, as a South Kensing- ton student, whether I knew of any one to recommend as a designer.

HISTORY OF TABLEOLOTHS. It is exceedingly interesting to note how the commonplace things i use to-day may be traced back into the earliest ages. There seems, in truth, to be nothing new under the sun. Even the tablecloth is no exception to the rule, for we find that at a very early period it was customary to spread a cloth upon tables spread for re- freshments, a practice now prevalentin all nations where civilization has polished the manners of the people. According to Monfaucon the use of the tablecloth by the Romans began in the time of the enrllv em- perors. They were snade of fine linen, generally richly ornamented with st.ri{:s of gold and purple, and frequently painted or worked with gold. D'Arnay tells us muslin with pufiing around the collar. of guipure. hortensias and greenery. Vest of the same guipure with lapels of black velvet. are sewed on either side of the front.

The skirt-front has an adornment of beautiful guipure inserted in the material, a border of the samg running all around the edge of the skirt. Pleated chemisette of mauve, surah or silk Full sleeves of the skirt material adorned with inserts Three handsome buttons jewelry. 1 ears ago I took this house on a ease, and set up in_business as a manu- facturing jeweler.

At first, when I was with Mr. Brog- don, I thought that I could be quite con- tent to do my designing in the back prem- ises, but that I could never bring myself to serve in the shop, but one gets over these prejndices in time.” “And here you actually manufacture jewelry, do you?” “Yes, and I have a number of workmen employed by me here, and I take appren- tices; they are bound for three years: Most of them are the sons and often the grandsons and great-grandsons of men who have been in the same trade, for gold- smiths’ work seems to be hereditary.” This little woman lives near London, and is always delighted to show her art- istic productions %o visitors.—The Queen.

MODERN VENETIAN WOMEN. They Are Rarely Pretty, Often Charm- ing and Usually Handsome. Venetian women are rarely pretty, often charming, generally handsome. And all of them, without exception, walk splen- didly, not taking little mincing, feminine steps, but with a fine, grave stride, due partly to the fact that they are accustomed to wear heelless slippers, which oblige them to plant the feet firmly, and the whole foot at once, without a chance of tripping on toes or pounding on heels, as women who wear tight boots are able and apt to do. They walk with much the same ac- tion as if they were barefooted, and just as well. And they use the whole in walking, not with the undulatory motion of Spanish women, but with a movement of the whole back and shoulders, in the exact swing of the stride. Venetian women do, however, remind one in many w.l,. of Spanish women in their way of doing the hair, of wearing the maniilla, for instance, the Moorish element, that is, coming out in both, so that in Venice, for instance, one finds quite as a matter of course an Antico Caffe del Mori, a cigarette is still known as a spagnoletto, and the dialect touches Spanish at all points.

Du Cauge relates a singular feudal privi- lege—that of the lord being entitled to the tablecloth, towel, etc., of the house where he dined. From the same source we learn that a father, giving advice to his son, par- ticularly recommends him as one means of success'in life is to have his table covered with a clean cloth; and there is a com- plaint made agaiust the monks for putting a dirty cloth before their visitors. The tablecloths made for the use of the nobility and gentry were of great value. One woul(fcost as much as £18, a considerable sum in those days. The origin of damask tablecloths is also very ancient.

BMILIN({ GAMBLING, WISDOM. Talking of smiling, have you ever studied the qualiiies of the Japanese smile? Itis a complicated and most suggestive smile, | tinged with a sarcastic superiority of de- | meanor and a supreme contempt that is almost sublime in its elevation above more mortal laughter. Pray study the antique Japanese bronzes and pictures, and I am sure you will agree with me. I saw a very | rare and valuable figure of Buddha the other day, and I can assure you that the smile upon that statuette’s face was a per- fect allegory. I hear a very bad account of the ladies of Vienna, who are becoming each year more addicted to gambling.

Cards should be left at an evening recep- tion, but very often are not, as a cardcase is scarcely a part of a lady’s evening cos- tume. A little forethnught will suggest carrying the requisite cards in a small en- velope. At an evening card party light- colored dresses made either low er high necked are good form. A daytime affair calls for the bonnet or hat with the recep- tion toilette. Leave your card wherever you call as a memorandum for the hostess. 1i the maid who attends the door does not take your card to the hostess as an an- nouncement leave it in a conspicuous place in the hall-not on the card receiver if there be other cards on it. but on the card- tray if there is one. Mail your visiting card with P. P. C. written in the lower left-hand corner when you are leaving a Elaeem all people on whom you should ave called to say good-by. When makin. i;om- éood-_by calls leave your card witfi . P. C. written in the same fashion. If you have the usual suburban library hall, Pplace near the door a small table with a card-receiver on it, in which cailers may place. their cards. Where a_reception is given to the faculty of a school you should not leave any cards at all, as it isa public affair. When 1yml make your eeremonial or “party”’ call, leave a card for the teacher through whose kindness you received the invitation.—Ladies’ Home Journal. | Easter Eggs. The use of eggs on Easter day, sometimes called Pasche, or paste eggs, has come down to the present time, says the Ladies’ Home Journal. Eggs were held by the Egyptians as a sacred emblem of the reno- vation of mankind after the deluge. The Jews adopted them to. suit the circum- stances of their history as a_type of their departure from the land of Egypt. hey were also used in the feast of the Passover. Hyde, in his description of Oriental sports, tells of one with eggs among the ristians of Mesopotamia on Easter day, and forty days afterward: *“The sport con- however, they | undergo a special treatment to render them | ‘won by the owner of ne that struck it. Immediately another egg is pitted against the winning egfi, and so on till the last egg wins all_the others, which their respective owners before shall have won.” In Germany sometimes instead of eggs at Easter an emblematical print is occa- sionally presented. One of these is pre- served in the print-room of the British Museum. Three hens are represented as ugholding d basket, in_which are placed three eggs ornamented with representa- tions illustrative of the Resurrection; over the center egg the “Agnus Dei,” with a chalice representing faith; the other eggs bearing the emblems of charity and hope. e Db A TOI. Ah! but it seems a lifetime since we parted: The dew-drenched roses dropping from each bough, Stooped o’er us low, hung o'er us heavy hearted, | And kissed us where we lingered—I and thou.
