It looks as though the threads composing it were made of woven sun and moon beams. It is made over a lustrous buttercup satin, the sleeves being composed entirely of Marechal Niel roses; they are moderately large and scarcely reach the elbow. Rose | petals and rose leaves trim the bodice, and they are used with rare_artistic results, as | the whole dress isso delicately beautiful | as to be quite fit for Queen Map, | but a word picture does it injustice. | With it will be worn slippers of vellow satin and a hat made to go with it, | & dream composed of roses, lace and dew- drops, and when have we ever seen such artificial flowers as can now be purchased ?

Young but glace gir ake such a mistake in desiring to dress like young women who were buds some six or eight rs ago. However, few girls can be made to realize the fact that the white muslin, so much talked | about, has a rare and mysterious attrac- | tion for almost all men, and I suppose even the “new girls’” have not ceased 1o feel a mild ure in being admired by the sex. I will leave the discussion or a week or | 80, as then I will be ready with the latest | styles. | All of us who have not as yet secured our hats and bonnets still feel an interest in millinery, and Vogue, I see, makes this | ble suggestion e: hair, bonnets requires g cai they are in danger of looking loud and | conspicuous. A black lace and jet bonnet | runs no danger of goingz amiss, neither does one in black and gold, black 2nd steel or black and white. Butas tulle bonnets | are to be the summer’s rage, there is| further choice in dark blue, cranberry red, ivy-green and orchid mauves. It is under- stucd that they are to be touched up with lace flowers and ribbons in a way suitable to mature years.” A good imported hat for a young girl is somewhat of the mushroom shape of chif- | fon straw of shot heliotrope. Ribbon bows and outspreading wings are in the center, | while on either side rests a spray of manve | lilac, and at the back is a bunch of violets. ‘Whether we like it or not we are to wear our hats well over our foreheads, for the | fashionable cache-peigne across the back | of all larce hats pushes them over the eyes, | completely concealing the front hair. A noted French milliner has just sent | out a laree black hat of sequin covered crinoline; pleated chiffon ed.es the brim, end bunches of rose-colored and white azaleas nestle beneath and upon it. She &lso produces a novel effect in a picture hat by placing biack ostrich tips beneath the brim so as to be visible at the sides. | Thfl: hat is adorred with black and cerise | tulle.

The best London tailors are trying hard to introduce the close-fitting coatsleeves, but one of the swellest reports that he recently made two coats with quite tight sleeve, and had them returned for large ones to be substituted, and it is only in tailor suits that the really small sleeve is likely to be tolerated. In other gowns the sleeve puffed on the top nolds its own, the sole difference in outline con- sisting in the fact that the puff terminates ebout six inches above the elbow, instead or below it. An excellent example of the new sack- backed jacket, quite short, is to be ad- mired made in black poult de soie, lined with black glace silk, the yoke striped diagonally with jet; a kilted “ruffle of net round the neck talls with long ends in the frant; the sleeves have the same finish at follow a certain quiet home wedding, | | has good | turquoise blue cloth, which completed a | the wrists. Another model of a loose short coat has been designed of black satin, with an applique of watered silk. The fronts are very narrow and are outlined with black satin and display a wide vest of black velvet with an “applique of pearl- gray satin traced with silver, steel and gold. Thelarge collar is cut in tabs round the neck, while frills of lace fall over the top of the sleeves. An ideal coat is of the new blue Vene- tian cloth, with vest revers and cuffs of mushroom-faced cloth, braided in blue of the same tone as the coat. The lining is ot a fan lace silk. Another coat of blue gros Venetian cloth is inlaid with biscuit color, the collar being of blue velvet; on the bottom of the coat the same kind of strapping is applied. The Princess of Wales, who certainly e in dress, has just appeared ish jacket of fine soft black vicuna cloth, which is made with very moderate- sized sleeves, the fronts hanging loose and double breasted, five buttons being on each side. The tr ly charming young lady dinner d illustrated on this page is of pom dour China silk.

The dark fawn-cloth gown has a | your dresses, if they are of any dark fabric, sew a piece of white silk or white muslin, for no French woman ever allows anvthing dark to come in direct contact with her skin. 1 exceedingly dislike dark or black underwear, as white or light colors seem so much more appropriate, but for those who wear it, let me assure you, you will find that it darkens your skins per- ceptibly after a few months’ wear. | Baby ribbon worked in 2 floral design is effective, although not new; however, it | will appear not only on cotton materals, but on silken ones as well. Grass lawn so treated is simply exquisite and proportion- ately costly. A bodice known as “the coat of mail” | is formed of a very fine black straw plaited {on a tulle foundation, interspersed with | green, and silver and gold sequins. At | the neck and waist of this are bands of | lime blossom green velvet, and the sleeves are of crepe de chine. What a truly | unique and Parisian conception! A model | frock of alpaca canvas in dark blue has a | novel trimming of cornflower blue canvas | embroidered in white and lined with yel- | low. Original also is a bodice of white | glace silk, with anapplique of chintz flow- | ers worked in colored silks and sequins; ibun(ls of black velvet complete it at the | neck and waist. Purple, violet and helio- trope are vying in favor with turquoise blue, as all such shades so charmingly | combine with black and white.

Black ties shonld be of twill silk, with pointed ends. For slender women the belts of white kid or the belt of suede are popular, as are also those of gold galoon, but these latter are suitable DARK FAWN CLOTU GOWN, waistcoat of purple cloth, opening over‘ white and fastened with- tiny pearl but- | tons; light fawn cloth revers. | Two bodices worthy of admiration and imitation have just been completed and | both have the sleeves falling softly from the shoulders and are complete with a | deep cuff. The most vivid colors are to be used for hewe and evening wear, and we | are informed that we must, if well up ia | what is correct, greet warmly the double | bodice, to which I have not yet had the; pleasure of an introduciion, but one is de- | scribed as being of rich red petunia silk | gathered from the waist and brousht up | back and front to beneath the arm, but | opening slightly in froat to show a full | Ottoman_ soft silk covered with a chine design of the same petunia mixed with gold on a cream ground. The sleeves, as so many sleeves will this season, reach to the elbow with a battlemented cuff | turning upward. From the descriptiona | gracefu, garment for a slight figure, and I am told it will suit the stout also. Of this 1 bave very serious doubts. The new canvasclosely resemblescrepon, but hasa smoot ‘er suriace and so will less readily catch the dust. This fabric sets | remarkably well and is admirably suited | to the present style of skirt, which al- though it fits closely around the hips the hem has a considerable circumference, but it is far more satisfactory now that more | attention is given to placing the fullness properly. 5 The fashion of trimming with black vel- vet ribbons is a revival of an old fashion | and wiil be the thing this vear,as it isto | trim dresses of every description_and has | been used with good results with small | diamond buckles to stripe a corselet of | dressy turquoise blue, which had a white | mousseline de soie fishu. This confection | was worn with a large black hat to a wed- ding and bad many admiring glances cast upon it. Black velvet ribbons of an infinitesimal width trim the frills of many of the fichus | which beautify otherwise plain silk waists | and blouses, such fichus being made of either chiffon, mousseline de soie or spot- ted net. It is also seen alternating with frills and insertions of lace forming epau- lettes over plain sleeves and also vestsin tight, shor'-basqued bodices, bat let us hope that the fas jon may never be re- vived of wearinga band of black velvet around the throat, for this style, although becoming to most, causes many a lovely throat to be vrematurely wrinkled, and only for more fanciful costumes for in- stance, a dress of the new cauvas looks well with this touch of gold. Stout women should avoid belts as much as possible, only moderate ones of black satin being at all becoming. In spite of all contrary predictions capes and mantles will bold their own, certainly until autumn. Numerous are the beauti- ful models imported. Our couturiers are gladly bidding adieu to the heavy brocades, velvets and tapes- tries for the delightfully aerial gauzes, mousselines de scie, ylace silks and crepes, which are certainly more in keeping with the flowers and verdure. I must not for- fiet to give you a bit of information which as just come under my observation in Vo ue: ’ *“There are some new materials to be found here at present which aimost eclipse the petals of the blossoms from which they are copied. Forinstance, I saw a so-called gauze de printemps so beautiful that it seemed spun from moonbeams. The ground is of an indescribably sweet shade of palest silvery gray interwoven with the sli htest suspicion of silver threads, ana highly embroidered with clusters of spring flowerets done in slender floss silk which ive no sign of having been touched by buman fingers. A gown made of this gauze was draped deftly over a slip of shell-pink soie glace fringed outat the bot- tem in imitation of a monster carnation, and was finished off at the neck, the wrists and the waist by corresponding ruches of extreme fluffiness. The hat built to go with this costume was of drawn pink gauze covered with a shower of white and pale lilac violets, knots of which were also at- tached to the corsage. Another and nearly as pretty a stuff is the soie Casino, a very brilliant and remarkably shimmering silk, somewhat more consistent than the ordi- nary taffeta glace and adorned with moir- ures in a color contrasting with the ground of the material.”” Such dress can be owned by but few of us, but youth and beauty can be charming in very inexpensive toilettes. This reminds me that at one of our principal stores the exquisitsly fine organdies which sold for 65 cents last summer are now being dis- vosed of at less than 20 cents per yard, and over an old silk evening gown or a delicately tinted sateen will be a joy as long as fresh. Properly adjusted ribbons make such a toilette positively smart. All in vain does a woman adorn her per- son beautifully if she herself is not well groomed and this covers very numerous black will darken the skin, so here let me give a word of advice: ip the collar of points, for instance, the well eroomed weoman must have a good complexion, ‘\‘ ~ NN N 4 ? / !, - N =g R N e SR A O YOUNG LADIES \\\'\ S N NN D N NN - S8 NN N ) \\\\\ NN N N \\\‘}\ \\\§~ DINNER DRESS. lovely hair and well-cared-for hanas. What a pity that so many are brightening their hair, they must know that in a brief | time the result of even simple chemicals | will cease producing the desired result, and stronger ones will ceriainly be a necessity unless the once beautiful hair is | to be grotesquely striped, so be sensible, zirls, and let your hair alone, for all bright- ening processes will eventunally spoil it and hair dyes produce, only too often, lamentable results. We should wear our hair a Ja pompadour and arrange it low in the neck in the figure 8 or in pretty little puffs. You see I have given you one of the latest coiffures this week, which will be found becoming to most faces. Instead of the 8 may be worn little finger-puifs, which require the skill- ful attention of a good maid or a hair- dresser. The monogram and embossed crest, which has begun to flourish in San Fran- cisco, is considered old-fashioned by New Yorkers, for now ‘“a seal carefully exe- cuted on the lefthand corner of the note paper matches that on the envelope.” So we know what to do if we desire to be cor- rect from an Eastern standpoint. It is quite shocking to read that women | in England are becoming addicted to | zambling. An example is given of one | who lost, one day evening, about | $1000, at Gunton, Lord Suftield’s place. I! see another instance is quoted of a “fair ! muiden,”’ whose father is a retired general in straitened financial circumstances, who lost $1400 at roulette. Mrs, Luci Kunkle is said to be not only 7 woman, but also one of the best whist-players in America, and Mrs. Sho- walter of Kentucky reported to be the | greatest woman chess-player in this coun- try. She is but vears old and was | taught chess by her husband. MARCELLA. B FOR MEN. The collar of dress coats should be of cloth. The silk or satin facingsof such | coats should be brought to the edge of the lapel. Spring suits for men show no radical changes, but perhaps tne collars of the waisicoats are to be slightly higher and the jackets are not to be so long, and trousers are to remain the same width. ‘The spring overcoats are not so long as those of last year. Tan covert cloth is smart, but gray clot) is also in demand. Suits for spring are seldom of late made of black excepting for those in mourning; then either serge or cheviot is selected. For a youth of 16 a frock coat is too old; a cutaway of black vicana or a rough | woolen cloth worn with gray trousers hay- | mz a gray stripe is more suitable on occ sions where men would wear a frock coat. Extremists only are experimenting with the vivid green and yeilow shirts, and i -y stylish material been received by a Mont- store. Higaly glazed gomery street zephyrs are to be avoided. Drab dress waistcoats are to be positive- ly worn quite extensively in London.

THE KIND MOST WIVES PREFER | It Always Takes Two People to Make a Married Home Perfectly Happy. NEW YORK, N. Y., March 23, 1896.— She was a very nice woman. And when I read the dainty little letter I felt myself | growing taller, and it seemed as if my head was growing just a bit bigger. Still, it was rather a pleasant feeling. But what she asked was a question easily answered, ‘*Are there any bad husbands?”’ T began to think of the different ones. And first of all there came before me the sullen man. He’s the one who comes home at night with a grow] and wakens in the morning with a complaint. Neither of these is loudly spoken, but he mutters them with his tecth half closed, and his wife w s siie knew bow to make ‘‘dear Charley” perfectly satistied. But dear C arley is the sort of man who will nct be happy either in heaven or the other place. At the breakfast-table the chil- dren have been_ taught not to speak for fear they will irritate their father, and at the dinner-table they don’t appear at all, not even when_the other sweets come on, for it is possible he is a little bit more sullen and a little bit more hang-dog looking than he was at breakfast. He's been forced to associate with men all day, and of course there is alw the chance of a man kicking him if he tries any of his nasty business with him, but with the; little woman at home, whom he has prom- | ised to love and protect, he feels at ease, and finds no fault_ with himself when he bullies, in his horrid, sullen way, the crea- | ture that is bigeer and better in every way | than bimself. She can never get an opin- ion from him., a sullen look, words that are muttered and a ‘‘grumpy’’ manner beine his every-day conduct in his home. Which of Dante’s hells do you think he will be found in when Gabriel’s trumpet sounds?

He forgets how he has changed—he forgets that there is no possibility of suiting him. If you are lively he makes the cheerinl re- mark that all women are gossips and never | stop talking. If you are quiet he wonders and length to enable him to arran:e them in the ore-fa-hioned bow. Likea number | of men Creighton Webb has his ties made | by a privaie tiemaker.

There is a black cat at_present in the sedate seclusion of the Hampton Court cloisters which has spontaneously ‘sworn off” from all kinds of flesh food.

MME. MARCHAND, course, he considers your fault. I think with pleasure of the fault-finding man’s hereaiter. He will be married, it there is such a thing as marriage in nell, to a New Woman, who will treat him as he did his wife, and then he will know the rarher dountful pleasure of continual mental and physical pin-pricks. F : Usually the fault-finding man combines another vice with his chief one, and that vice is the abomination of desolation— stinginess. He is not at all inclined to be stingy with himself, but he wants to know what becomes of every cent which is spent by his wife. C 1] wife and has an absolute right to a certain part of his income never seems to dawn on him, and nothing gives him greater pleasure than to discuss with two or three of his cronies the extravagance of the woman who bears his name. If she looks shabby he blames not himself, but her. He doesn’t know and doesn't care how the little bit of money which bhe gives her is so well managed that he always bas a good breakfast and a %;)od dinner, while she and the children have a starvation luncheon. If he happens to take her out he scoffs at her quiet black frock, never dreaming that it has gone through all the economical possibilities that only come when a woman hasn’t much money and must freshen her old frock. Theb cents’ | worth of soap bark to wash it. the as- sistance of a littie dressmaker whose value lies in her cheapness, the careful arrange- ment of the riLEou bows here and a trim- ming there, concealing a bad place, are, to you and me, pitiful, but to the stingy man it is all no more than his wife ougiit todo. He is as stingy with his love and his pleasant words as he is with his money, and, although, before he was mar- ried, he used to make most ardent vows of iove, love that was to last till death and after, he doesn’t think it necessary, nowa- days, to even express his approbation of the way the woman he has married tries to cater to his wishes. . He is apt, in addition, to be suspicious. Stinginess and suspicion are close kin, and usually go hand in hand. He questions the children as to their mother having seen anybody during the day; he manages to drop into the kitchen, and, by being pleasant to_the cook, gets her to admit that Mrs. Dash might have been more economical if she tried. He knows some jolly good fellows and is forced to think that when their wives call upon his wife they must discuss him and compare him to them to his disadvantage. He forgets entirely that he is married to 8 woman— and when one saysa woman one usually means a something that has all the faith- fulness of a dog without his occasional lapse into a bad temper, and, as a natural sequence, a bite. If the mother of his wife visits ber he is never quite sure that the days would pass by so quickly unless his vices were under discussion, and if his own mother hnl[])pens to be to the fore he feels sure that she tells his wife what he usd to be and that they both sigh over what he is now. Oddly enouch in his heart of hearts is a positive contempt for himself, for he khows that he is a cad. One or two thrashings a week might, per- haps, make a man of him, but I doubt it. When fauit-finding and suspicion control the beart of a man heis about as near degradation as any human being can be. he asked me another question—did this little woman who wrote the charming let- ter. She said, “Do you believe in divorce?” | I wish I knew how to say ‘“No” so loudly that it would reach the ears of each woman who had ever thought of it and convince them that one of these wonder- ful new guns was near her and that she was struck by one of the five hundred shots that they sent out every minute. Sometimes between two married people things reach such a point that it is wiser for them to separate—to live apart and to lead lives that give no scandal. Butthe divorce—oh, mno! Once a woman is di- vorced from one man and marries another sbe becomes demorzlized and fails to see why she may not continue the divorcing and the remarrying as long as she pleases. She forgets that the day will come when the only bloom on_ her cheeks is an artificial one; when the beautiful hair is false; when the eyes have lost their The fact that she is b1s | she think about then? Always of her first love. She remembers that if she had not been so easily irritated about this, so | suspicious about that, or so determined about something else, she might still be an honored wife, | It is a beautiful thing, to my way of | thinking, to see two people, no longer } Young, the woman no longer beautiful from that standpoint that demands rosy cheeks, bright eyes and ' sunny locks, happy with each other. Of course they have had their misunderstandings; of course i there have been times when it seemed to each as if the other could no longer be en- dured, but then one of the two remembered the vows they had taken, and yielded, and co0 all life was made smoother and they grew gradually to understand just what each liked b what each most enjoyed; and, although the big world was around them, it was outside them; and love and peace reigned in the little world made by these two. 1 wonder if I have said all there is about bad husbands? Idon'tlike to attack the men. They have always been good and kind to me, and I am forced to judge them by what I see of them. My friend, you | may take it as a truth, that two people are required to make a happy home. Many a bad husband has been ‘unconsciously re- formed by his wife’s wisdom. I don’tlike to say that women ever need reformation. But there are bad husbands. Else women woul.n’t be glad when they went off in the morning and didn’t return until night. But so much is in the hand of the woman. Man is the lower animal. To be quite honest, 1 have never been quite sure whether he was above or below the mon- key. Soitisin the finer, better nature ot woman to train him in the way he should go; to train him to be more gentle, to be more affectionate, more gen- erous and less fault-finding. I don’t be- lieve there is any redemption for the sul- len or the stingy man. However, it is pleasing to think that he will have & nere- after, and I can imagine that heaven, to some women, will mean looking down to where their husbands are and reminding them of the past. It would be a rather nasty thing to do; still, there would be a certain satisfaction about it, and no woman could be blamed for doing 1t who had lived with a man who was all-round horrid. But then there are so many good men, And nice men. And lovable men. And considerate men. And unselfish men. And generous men. And smong these there ought to be & man pleasing to that nice little woman and her nelghbt;; and AB. “Cherchez la Femme.” “T see you charge me elevenpence for your mutton, Mr. Barton.
