be put on when warmer days come is q
wrap of lighter quality than the heavy
winter cloak. The first impOrtations OF
these garments are nantes, fichus, dol
mans, round capes and sacques OF drap
d'ete, cashmere and Sicilienne, trimmed
with silk braid, beaded galloon, lace and
fringe. There are fewer sacques than
usual, and these are or the half-fitting
French shape already noted, with long
fronts and short back. Mantles take va.
srious shapes, and are not much trimmed,
being, merely bordered. The simplest
shapes have long square tabs in front
and asdemi-long cape behind, outlining
the figure and draping the tOurnure just
as sacques do; the neck is very high, and
is always finished with standing collar,
rlche, silk pleating, Or Q lace frill. qJet
beads are still shown in the trimmings,
but not SO profusely as of late; thus wide
silk galloons are woven in checks or
blocks dotted with beads, Or else they
have tracery in Greek pattern of finely
cut beads, or perhaps rows of beaded
loops are sewed on the silk braid.
Another fashion is to trim with bits of
beaded fringe, each piece two or three
inches long, set diagonally near the
edge, and forming sOrtofT jabot effect
around the, whole mantle. "A new trim
ming. is ruche of crimped tape and
crimped floss strung with jet, and re.
trembling the moss trimming once SO
fashionable. Thread lace is also used in
profusion on fine garments, and is
headed with icrotcheted passementerie.
Straight rows of braid o third of an inch
wide are arranged in clusters of three or
four, with a curled row between. Yak
and guipure insertion and lace are still
usedi ast sfit gah s9sH0fpAal * atA
The fichus are jaunty wraps and when
Tapped in front and fastened over the
tournure have the effect of sleeveless
basque. Some have deep peplum sides
and others would almost serve as tab
Tiers. They are also sleeveless sacques,
trimmed to have the appearance OF q
fichu. sSa@A asH}3 ail1 aslss tatsitta
Round capes are simple talmas, and fit
the shoulders closely. These areareasily
made and require very, little material.
They came into favor late last summer
and will doubtless be very popular this
year. Fringe cut in bits, jet galloon, lace,
and pinked ruches of gros grain are their
trimmings. Doln1ans are not changed in
shape; hence lady who has lone left
over from last fall is Il supplied with Q
spring wrap. OOQ uttle. pOCkttSa u
shirred silk, shaped like bags, cornu
copias or old-feshioned reticules, are
placed on the sides of sacQuesy fchus and
ppolonaises. -. $500.
Black cashmere polonaises are again
imported, as they are found itolbe useful
/ garments fol, the intermediate9 season.
They are cut to have the effect of a
cuirass and tablier; they have the long
Marguerite or Gabrielle back, are smooth
as a cuirass over the hips and are trimmed
there to outline a basque. The fronts
are closed by trimming and areverylong;
the sides curve upward, and sash-like
ends are draped on the tournure. The
trimmings used are those named for
cashmere mautles. The polonaises, like
all tabliers and lover-skirts, are elaborate

The Bully Boys.

In speaking of the clubs OF Richmond as
composed of "gulIy Boys" we declared
that we quoted from SHAKESPEARE and SCOTT.
There are people in Virginia who are SO ter-
rjfiad at the name "SCJTT that we faar they
may have supposed that we alluded 10
"Tox. Scott" We meant nothing Of the
kind. We were quoting the immortal bard
and novelist of Scotland.
In SHAKESPEARE We find the word IN
"Midsummer Nights Dream" Alter NICK
BoTToM is disepchanted Of tue ASS neau'
he appears to his brother Thespans OUNCE
and SNUG, and FLUTE, who are dying 10 hear
his experiences. SNUG announces, just BE-
fore BORON enters, that there are TO be Two
or three more marriages, and that they
are all to take place in the absence OF BOT
TON; whereupon FLUTE, sweet FLUTE, cries
out:
80 sweet, bully Bottom! ,,;,,eo >,
Thus hath he lost sixpcnce day during his life''
And then BoTroM comes in eXclaiming
"where are these lads! Where are these hearts -
Well, if BoTToM could fad on earth Drawer
lads and better hearts than those of the Rich
mond clubs, then we should give it up and
withdraw to the society of old-iashioned
