FASHION NOTES, Plain goods will come in fora large share of attention this spring, and will be worn more than last season. Storm serges or cravonettes are gaining in popularity on account of being water proof. Crepes effects will be very popu- lar, especially those that retail from $1.25 to $2.00 per yard. Challie will be much more worn than for several seasons past, this soft goods can be draped artistically pretty for home toilettes. Black goods, both plain and Jac- quad, will be in strong request and more worn by fashionable ladies than any other color. will be in black, or black and: gray, and in the pretty pin ered this season. Figured granadines in dark grounds with large oriental patterns are con- sidered very chic. The collection offered this season surpasses all its predecessors as far as style and blend- ing of colors are concerned. The handsome tailor made suits Blakets 98c Up s . checks off- For dressy occasions or evenings crinkly crepes, dotted Swiss lappett zephyr, china silks, and the most delicate organdie and lace are used: pretty soft cashmere in a delicate tone is always appropriate. The little German Heliogarde bon- net seems to grow in favor and will be worn during spring and summer. The novelties this season are numerous; Mohair trave' (ew) is a diagonal twill fabr with a thick cord running every inch, trom selvedge to selvedge. Velvet and satin will both find their places among the pretty dra- peries, the challies are profusely trimmed with velvets and soft silks. The wraps for Easter are decid edly new; carriage wraps are in light tones and of exceedingly rich designs, both in material and# on- struction. Open passementerie over velvet is the newest trimming novelty in the leading Paris houses. Ribbons of all kinds will be much used for trimming, and the Alsatian bow (an old friend but now called Neued-Sans-Gene) is worn as a cravat. The newest novelty in laces is the double face, two widths of the same pattern, attached at the top and the joining covered witha tiny thread of jet. A handsome widows gown is of black crepon, with rushings of dull silk and bordering of crepe; a pretty lisse drapery forms the corsage. The nun’s veiling, all wool or silk and wool are very popular; crepe veils are never used among ladies who dress stylishly. Feathers and_ flowers are often combined by milliners, a practice so undesirable a few years ago. In Paris there are rumors that for evening wear, both the of Austria and the Empire dre: will keep their popularity this spring and that gold and silver trimmings will be much worn. Then a distant echo breathes forth that gowns with watteau panniers will be in vogue soon and also very draped skirts; pannels are already being used as a mode of trimmings. Some of the designers are spend- ing a good deal of time in the pictures galleries studying old illus- trations of the fashions of by-gone days. Oo FROM THE SPANISH HERALD. SAN DOMINGO FEB. 10th 1894. The Ozama_ River Bridge has been opened to the public since the Ist of the cur- rent month. we are very glad that the Hon. Ayuntamiento has resolved it so, for which we_ congratulate our friend Mr. H. C. C. Astwood for the happy result of his investiga- tions. The concessioner owes a- great deal of gratitude to the .ap- preciated Mr. Astwood. He has se- cured what neither Mr. purham, Maxwell nor other consuls of the United States could not obtain. The Ayuntamiento has done well in attending to the just call of the public who clammored for the opening to the public so indis- pensible a road to communication. ne. oo Mr. Thomas Vance who was buried last week, was for_a long time a prom inent politician in Florida.
