The Sprn. Fashions.
THE NEw srYLEs-FoR WEN AND wONEN-uAIS,
| DRESSES, ,CoATs--CONPLETE COSTUMES
| From the y. Y. Evenn; Mail.l
| FASHIONS FOR THE LADIES.
The new Spring hats are dainty little
| affairs, with small round crowns and mar
row upturned brims. not differing very
much IN shape from the Winter ehapeau,
| but having an indescrihabe iauntiness and
| coquettishness which the heavy veivets and
| felts lacked. White chip and fine split
| straws are the most fashionable. A few
| broad, coarse braids are woven into broad
| brimmed flats for the country or seaside, and
| are tasteiully trimmed with black velvet
/ ribbon and clusters of wild flowers. Some
are lined throughout with pink or light
| blue silk, and trimmed with ribbons to
/ match
Some pretty little hats are made of silk
and straw combined, as, for instance, hat
Of pale green gr0s grain with a parrOw
| brim Of white chip. The full, soft crown
| of silk Is surrounded with bias scarf of
the same, intertwined with a black lace
barbo with long ends Of both silk and lace
| falling at the back, cluster of pale pink
/ feathers upon one side and small pink rose
| and bud placed on the bandeau.
| Feathers are much employed for garni-
| ture upon the new hats, also scaris and
! loops and lappels of gros grain. Flowers
and lace also lend their grace and beauty
| and rich soft ribbons ara used for strings, or
| wide scaris Of black lace edged with Chan
| tilly border
| Some very stylish hats are made of black
| tulle and trimmed with black feathers and
lace. \ beautiful and novel hat Of black
dotted lace had a long black ostrich plume
| sweeping across the front, the plume being
| fastened with a broad Jet buckle. \ deep
| border of Chantillv lace fell below the ieath-
| er and a scarf Of black lace encircled the
| crown and fell in long ends over the CHG
| non. being fastened at the back with a jet
| buckle. Another hat of black tulle was
| dotted with jet beads and trimmed with yel-
| low buttercupS.
A beautiful round hat Of fine white chip
| grain passing over one side of the crown
and falling at the back with loops and ends.
| Two small blue feathers to match fell from
| the front over the crown. j stem Of pink
| hyacinths upon one side and strings Of pea
cock blue ribbon. The colOrs which seem
| to be most aviShy used for trimming are
| pale yellow and salmon. Straw color and
| green. salmon and blue, pale yellow and
| black, or even salmon or pink, are much IN
vogue.
\ pretty and youthful hat Of white chip
was trimmed with bias strip Of turquoise
| blue gros grain. which was twined around
the crown with a scarfof pale salmon Grape,
| \ cluster of blush roses upon the side, and
| upon the left of the upturued brim com
| pleted this charming hat.
In many of the hats. the long streamers
| Of ribbon or lace fail underneath the brim
at the back instead of over it, and a bow Of
ribbon or small bunch Of flowers Is placed
upon one side under the brim in 'front.'
The hats are placed upon the back of the
head instead Of resting upon the forehead
d heretofore, which Is perhaps the most
novel feature about them. \ broad braid Of
hair. or torsade Ofputis or curls Is worn en-
| diadeac above the forehead TO I'LL up the space
| in front Of the hat.
In flowers. we notice that field blossoms
and wild flowers are the iayorites. Golden
butter cups, blue lorget-me-nots. purple
| yioletS. mingled with long grasses, sheais OF
wheat and clusters Of green oats, daisies
and dowuy thistles now rival the quecnly
| rose in popular favor
| SPRING GOODS.
The inevitable foularlsof this season have
| put in their appearance in beautiful soft
| tints. over which are scattered small and
| large polka dots Or small squares Of white.
| Black and white striped silks and silk with
| back grounds, with different cOl0red fine
| stripes, viii be again very fashionable for
| spring suits Lighter shades also, the
pale greyS and beautiful tintS of lavender,
| with delicate white stripes, are quite q Ia
| mode.
Black silks will be much used for rich
| spring suits. these being made with ths
| sleeveless pO.onaise and trimmed with ruf
fes of the same. When the costume con-

The ruff of lace has entirely superseded
the cellar for rich and dressy toilettes-
GENTLEMEN 5 SPRING FASHIONS.
There have been unusually heavy impOr-
tations this season Of materials for gentle
mems wear, embracing an infinite variety
of new styles in patterns and cOlOrs. The
new goods are characterized by neat designs
and subdued c0lOrs and there Is a decided
absence of all ollfre styles. Broken checks,
in every variety and combination of color,
are the most prevalent for business and IN
dress suits. and small checks of various
STYLES are very fashionable both for entire
suits and trousers. In stripes only very
small neat patterns are worn. and IN dark
colors only for suits, stripes having almost
entirely given way t. plaids. Business
coats from fancy goods are made either as
double breasted reeing jackets, butt1ning
three buttons or single breasted morning
coats. bnttOning one or two buttons, with
flaps on the hips Waistcoats single breast
cd, buttoning medium high, and with or
without collar. Fine worsted cOatings
still retain their great popularity for more
dreSsv garments but in unusually small
figures and pltterns. The straight ribs are
replaced by neat diagOnals Of new design,
the - c0rkscrew pattern being one of the
best and most effective Therearea variety
of basket h0neycomb and twilled patterns,
Of which the new - Napier" cloth is one Of
the most stylish Blacks and blues only
are worn in these goods. For dress trock
coats plain West Of England half mil.ed
cloths in dark browns, navy and imperial
blues are very iashiOnably made up with the
edges fat-braIded and silk breastiacings
These coats display very effectively the new
light colCrs Of spring OvercOats, which are
made from the lightest shades OF drab, sil-
yer grey and neutral tinted Nenetians,
cashmere and Metz cloths and the new cam
blet cloth, which Is one of the most stylish
introductiOnS Of the season. Single breast
ed sacque Overcoats are the most iashiona-
bic, either with or without fly, cut long
and very easy, silk facing to the edge,
velvet collar 10 match, amp worn Ope1 or
buttoned Striped Marseilles waistcoats
will be much worn, but double breasted and
