Trifles for the Ladies'.

WHITLEY JET IS the only jeWelry APP
propriate for deep mourning.
FEATHER TRIMMINGS of all varieties
will be worn until midsummer.
ACCORDING to the latest definition a.
bachelor is man who has lost the op-
portunity of making woman misera-
BILE.
CASHMERE SUITS for the street are to
be completed by small mantelet, held
to the waist by belt fastened under
meath.
WHITE brocade silk ties and scarfs.
tied in a sailor knot and edged with
Valenciennes lace, will be worn outside
the cloak upon the street.
SPRING BONNETs are showing a great
diversity of style, through which the
uniform feature appears to be the high
effect produced either by the crown or
raised front.
DAMAssE LOUIsINEs are new this sea-
son. They are imported in cream,
black, blue, brown and myrtle green
shades to match the plain silks that will
be worn with them.
FRIzzEs are as popular and as much
worn as ever. The low coil at the back
of the head is still seen, but the revived
chatelaine braid, with and without fin
ger puffs at the side, is most popular.
PLAIN, solid colors will prevail in gros
grains, as they have always done. The
reps are Of medium size, and the gros
grain has the soft finish necessary for
drapery, instead of falling into stiff,
heavy folds.
ALL thin materials should be fitted
over high-necked Innings, or else worn
with high corset waists, as low Innings
are not only out of style, but tend to
ruin delicate dresses by allowing them
to come In contact with the skin.
OvERsKIRTs exhibit many rich modes
of trimming. Diagonal garniture
placed on long apron fronts extended
to the back, and the trimming of the
skirt is completed with immense bows
of silk and velvet combined.
ONE of the fashionable ornaments for
the hair are the combs-not very high
| that form a square rather than an
oval band. These are in many instances
made Of very expensive materials, such
as coin gold and silver, and shell studded
with small diamonds.
DRESSES for morning wear are of
plain-colOred wooden goods, made in
long plain trains. The waists are taken
In with a leather or ribbon belt; some
times they have cashmere trimming
and blue or red ornaments, and some
times the basque is trimmed around
with wooden Prussian lace.
| On the 2eth ult., at Thunder Bay, AL
exander Walpole ROLAND, Of Nipigon,
and Elizabeth Wall, of Thunder Bay,
were married. Two days later, says
the Sentinel, "the happy couple left
! upon snow shoes for Little Pic, $50
miles distant, accompanied by the best
wishes Of numerous friends
SATIN is worn a great deal at present,
and will continue to be used for recep-
ton toilets for the spring. Some of
these toilets are of satin in two colors:
others are made of satin combined
with velvet, Or Pompadour goods with
stripes, b1ocaded with small broouets,
or else with large brocaded flowers on a
plain ground.
YOUNG GIRLS wear with low-necked
corsages a couture which in Paris is
called the couture Americana. The
back is parted horizontally a little
above the neck; the lower part of the
hair is crimped its entire length, and
forms kind of crimped veil, falling on
the back in long locks down to the
waist; the rest of the hair is arranged
on the crown in rolls and twists.
ECONOMY, my dear, economy" said
he. cts all right for you to have
plants and all that, but there is reason
in all things, and there isn't particle
of sense in paying fifty cents for flow
er pot when there are a dozen empty
cigar boxes about the house," and tax
ing the last Havana" from another
box, he handed her the box to put an
oleander in, lighted his cigar and went
out.
New importations of black silk show
the cashmere finished silks which are
now the first choice by reason of their
softness and their subdued lustre. The
best manufacturers, such as Ponson
and Bonnet, have done away with the
harsh, heavy stiffness that caused their
silks to fall into set-looking folds, and
have given this cashmere finish to all
IllSu- pIlCOu silks IudUC Ill Uuc1T IdCUOT1PS.
This is welcome reduction in the
| price of silks.
BUNTING DRESSES viii be popular this
year, and as the blue was found to be a
serviceable yachting dress last season,
it has proved that the material is not
only well adapted for seaside dresses,
but IS also very pretty, as well as use
full; and the white bunting, with it's
creamy tint, is exactly what is most
fashionable in the way of white dresses.
We do not in any way recommend
bunting dresses because we wish to see
the national colors combined to form a
dress; this would be rather a startling
result; we recommend it in the differ
ent colors to those who wish pretty and
odd costumes. The black, for mourn
ing, has been effectively used. Itmakes
the most beautiful ruches and plaitines.
On account of its transparent property,
it is generally made on an underdress
of silk; and in colors, silesia of the
same shade is all that is necessary.
