The evening telegraph. [volume] (Philadelphia [Pa.]) 1864-1918, 1866-03-29

the Sailor, the Derby, and the Spanish-all are
most simply trimmed, sometimes a crapelke
veil is wound round and fastened with q silver
ornament a bouquet; sometimes, merely a
ribbon with cameo. These hats are in
tended for young girls from ten to
twenty-five But the Gypsy bonnet, round and
open, is almost as youthful as the hat, and will
be much adopted by our juveniles.
Mrs. Kings bonnets this year have the stamp
of style and originality.
Miss ORolrke, Chestnut street, has abeautiful
display, both wild flowers and the long illusion,
veil, in the best style.
The Misses splint, too, display the greatest
possible taste.
Mrs. Kinnear has several Gipsy hats that are
charming.
Mrs. Dillon, No. 331 South street. offers an i'm
mense variety of childrens and misses hats.
Flowers are universally employed as trim
ming to hats. They never were more beautiful.
A fine selection of flowers will be found at
Messrs. Tabor & Harberts, Market and Fourth
streets.
The taste of the budget in this establishment
is well known. Most of the flowers come from
this establishment. To see them in their boxes
one would imagine 10 be in the field, and that,
as Lady Teazle" said, ''roses grew under our
feet" Here, too are those beautiful carved
ornaments and charms that seem to have
actually been excavated out of Pompeii.
Every variety of frame is here, and the
variety this year is bewildering, The prevailing
colors in all our first class establishments this
year are emerald green, violet buff, flor Galiza
"a sort of violet), and white, of course.
So much for the head; let us proceed further.
The beautiful assortment of percales and
oI,s A.
this year. In suits with futed trimming there
is not fresher or cooler dress for spring.
Percale and pique robes come, too, and in q
novel style. They consist of skirt, with full
Garibaldi waist in linen spotted with black,
over which long, halftight casaque, the same
as the skirt, is worn. These robes are found in
perfection at Fryer's at Haheigh's, and at
Evans.
Messrs, HaheIgh have some specialties in or
candle and grenadine robes, with black ground,
and patterns round the skirt of flowers, that are
perfect pictures. The cloaks displayed by this
house are extremely graceful and rich. Black
silk, of course, but varied in shape though the
halfftting paetot seems to be the prevailing
fashion.
Guipure and jet are employed but canoes
and long ribbon bows are worn.
Hafegh has also variety of poll de chevres
and demi-toilette dresses that are charming.
Messrs. Evans display magnificent silks, that
are reduced in price down to wonderful figures

For useful goods we have II. Steel No. 715 N.
Tenth street, who displays lot of challies that
are very taking. I.f'
Price & Wood, Ninth and Arch Streets offer
| white goods at prices that are tempting, and
Marseines are to be universally worn.
| ]. Strawbrdge, Eighth and Market streets,
offers muslins, sheetings, damasks, at prices
that we had in those good times almost forgotten.
| Warnock, now Lees, is too selling at fabulous
prices. Who doesn't know Lees, in Eighth
| street? Here are MORE antiques at four and
| five dollars per yard and here is the celebrated
| Gabrielle skirt, made expressly for gored
dresses. Days skirt has this advantage that while
1t produces its effect it conceals itself; great
| charm for hoop is not to be apparent. Days
| Gabrielle skirt is made of q combination of
thread and wire that is everlasting. Boutillier,
in Chestnut street, has some beautiful and very
cheap spring silks. His chintzes, too, are
| beautiful.
Besson's mourning store contains cheap and
| pretty goods. The white and black alpaeas
make most elegant half mourning. Meyers
| has ornamental mourning, such as recherche
collars cuffs, underskirts and beautiful bonnets,
| for now we mourn none the less that we mourn
| gracefully.
Vogel has his usual exquisite liugene and
lace. Mr.. Proctor has, too, with his other
cloaks, admirable lama, lace mantillas Lama
| lace is a fabric that does not crush or crease.
| 1t is charming invention.
There are such things as Under-garments to be
considered, and these are to be found in perfec-
| ton at Misses Thornhill & Burns No. o.l2O5 Ches
nut street. They have French imported gar
ments that are nameless, of most beautiful and
comfortable patterns, as well as a new hoop
| skirt of which the skeleton branches are con-
| cealed under petticoat. A great Improvement.
Mrs. Keyser, No. 1927 Chestnut street. makes
| specially of cbildren's clothes.
OF all graceful and pretty things, these lilipu-
tian garments are the prettiest. Mrs. Keyser
| has true art, for amidst embroidery and fam
ciful ornaments, she never forgets the age for
which she is providing, and avoids all that is
heavy keeping to simplicity and good taste.
Mad'lle Grosjean Chestnut and Tenth streets,
hcs a specially of those white bodies which
mu st. in our climate, be worn in summer with
