Aside from its valuable instruction in all
matters relating to female dress and the ever
changing fashions, DcmOrest's Monthly has
high literary merits in its department of gen
cral reading. We have essays, sketches, sto-
rics and poems in quantity and quality quite
equal TO the magazines with world of fash
ion news and gossip besides, together with
minute descriptions and prepared patterns
for everything that is new in millinery and
mantua making Thus we arc told;
The fashionable shades for spring wear are,
commencing at slver-gray, straight through
to blue-gray, ron-gray and bronzegray, pure
drab- gray being the most desirable.
But do not cOnfound gray with lavender,
as so many persons do, or diab with fawn
when YOU get pure shade keep it, and com
pare ii with others, and in this way educate
your eyes to tints shades, and Colors.
Next to the grays, the wood and nutb browns
will be fashionably worn. Two or three
shades Of the same color put together, or a
clear costume of say nutbrown, with hand
kcrchef, or necktic, and feather tip, Of white,
pink, blue, or another shade of brown. Tan
browns are to be avoided
For costume hats and bonnets, soft high
crowns are used, and they are frequently
made of the material of dress. This, how
ever, is hardly necessary, except in the case
of a strict bridal outfit; the brown and gray
straws presenting so many shades of color
as to make matching the color easy to the
most fastidious.

While much art and ingenuity are cNpcnd-

the amusement useful instruction. Thus the
April number opens with finely illustrated
article telling all about the invention of print

on LiteSaving on our Coast, telling all about
how poor shipwrecked sailors are saved when
thrown upon the coast; and another upon
wood carving. Then we have sundry stories
and poems by the best authors, the letter box,
charadcS, riddles, &c, by no means forgetting
Jack in the Pulpit who is unusually spright
ly, making the most of the mirth provoking
topic OF April fools, in this style;

thing about John Hay, a poet in whom the
west takes pride as one Of her own children ::
He returned TO America in the autumn of
1870 with CdSttiiaH Days in his pormanteau.
All the world was reading Mr. Bret Harte's
"Heahen Chnee," and Col Hay did what
all the world was dong. Whoever has read
the Heather Chinecn must have little curl
Osity if he do not make haste to read every
thing else that its author has written, and Col.
Hays curiosity was of as good quality as that
of the best of us. He read all the poems, bu.
"Chiqmta" and "Cicely," which gave him
particular pleasure, puzzled him, and set him
He saw the value and the scope of
the subtle and original genius that had pro
duced these ballads. He saw how infinitely
finer and better than nature they were, but,
having been brought up in Il Pike himself,
he saw that they were not nature. He wrote
Little Brooches" for his own amusement,-
at least we have heard that this is his account
of the matter,-to see how a genuine Western
feeling, expressed in genuine Western Ian
guagc, would impress Western people.
Whether Col. Hay really wrote Little
Brooches with this deliberate purpose or
not, he was not long in learning how West
ern people were impressed, or Eastern people
either. Before he knew what was happening
to him he found himself borne lightly on the
top wave Of popularity, where he and Mr..
Bret Hartc have since continued to ride
