NAVY BLUE. Street dress has begun to put
on its winter colors, and navy blue is 10 the as
cendant. Certainly the oavy blue costumes are
very handsome with their dainty little casaques
trimmed with grey frxspur, aud accompanied
by ash grey felt hats, orDamcnted with navy
blue velvet and natural ostrich feathers.
Navy blue velvet u.s. Of course, still more dis
tinguished, particularly when bordered, as 1t
usuayiS, with silver fox or ChinchlIIa, and &C
ompapied by genuine silver fox or Chinchllla
turs. A select bonnet of the same fabric is en-
reele with such a costume, ornamcuted With a
plume consisting OF one navy blue and two
natural ostrich feathers, not very luug but we'll
curled.
So little is understood in regard to color,
that it is not until lately ladies' began to under
stand what navy blue is. Store keepers and
statesmen did not know. They would sell purple
Humboldt's blue, indigo blue, and dark. ugly
blue for navy blue, until many persons became
disguised with it, although by no means
certain. that they had ever seen it. A
pure navy blue is, however, at last dis
covered to be fac shade for the daylight
though black, or nearly SO, at night, and
navy blue certainly leads fashion for street
costumes. So great is the rage for it, that
gentlemen have adopted navy blue as the col
or for day gloves, aud ties, and the newest
pocketbooks, card-cases. aud the like are made

A COOP BEGINNING The Baltimore Sun

A COOP BEGINNING. The Baltimore Sun
has the following timely remarks:
1.-THE beginning of the year, conventional
though it be, is an excellent occasion to form
good resolutions Of all kinds, and none is better
than that which Virginia statesman once de-
sisnated the philosophers stone, Pay as you
co. To make resolution like this worth any
thing it shs uld at once be put into action
Cease to do evil learn to do WE'LL are the first
letters in the alphabet of repentance. The be-
ginning OF the New Y ear is celebrated ~ many
by making gifts. This is well. Be just, how
ever, before being generous, and celebrate the
occasion where you owe little bills by paying
them And besides, if men want TO make the
New Year happy to others, there is no process
by which such general happiness would be pro-
duced as by laying debts. We do not speak OF
the homes of the transaction though recog-
nized debt unsettled must weigh on tie mind OF
every man who has conscience. But only
think what general relief and satisfaction 1t
would give if all the small bills now due
were paid. What you pay to another
