grain, and have the soft cashmere finish.
Very little, if any, change is anticipated
in the shapes Of spring bonnets and hats,
The new cloak which is said to be large
enough to cover as much as charity, is
made after Venetian model.
The bonnet called the capote has been
the fashionable one during the last of this
season, and it is said will be much worn
during the spring. The shape will be fol-
lowed in straw braids.
Black grenadines are giving place to
colored ones for summer wear. The Mex
caine patterns or those in open square

and brocaded designs being preferred.
Fred May doesn't suffer SO much, after
all. He has wooed and won Miss Minnie
Stevens, daughter of Mrs. Paran Stevens,
one of the richest ladies in New York.
And Bennett is coming back to Newport
in the summer, just as if there never were
any such things as rawhides and pistols.
'Tis better so.
John Stevens ran away from his wife in
Elmira thirty-four years ago. Recently
she discovered him in California, where he
had accumulated 100000 and another
wife. She is willing he should retain the
second wife, but she demands a third of
his fortune, and is likely to get it.
Among colored silks, graYs and browns
will have the preference III the coming sea-,
son. Indigo blue and myrtle green still
remain in favor however, and plum and
prune are not discarded. New importations
Of gros grains show them to be of medium
rep somewhere between the sleezy taffetta
and poplin.
The sx-Empress Eugenie, at a recent re-
ception in Rome, were black tulle over
black silk, decollette; in her. hair was fss-
tened one small diamond and opal pin, and
a black marabout feather showed well on
the fair hair. Round her neck she wore q
broad velvet, on which were fastened 'dia-
mond stars and pendants, a fine set-off to
the exquisite fairness of her magnificent
shoulders and bust; long black silk gloves
and few handsome bracelets completed
her simple toilet. ~
Many are the schemes devised for novel;
ties at church fairs. The latest are found
at Baltimore, where there is an imitation
Swiss mountain, eighty feet high, up which
a pretty girl, in Alpine dress, will guide
traveller for twenty-five cents. Another
allurement is q walk unker the ocean ac-
by girl who personates mer-.
maid as nearly as nature and decorum will
permit. The space under the stage of the
Academy of Music, provided with shells,
rocks, corals, sponges, and other products,
represents the submarine kingdom.
Window curtains Ynada of unbIaaabaa
muslin have come to be really fashionable.
Even lady's drawing-room, if it is a sim
pie and useful room not too'elegantly fur
nished, receives tasteful and pretty finish
with those curtains. House-furnishing es-
adjustments are already receiving orders
for them, but we would inform our lady
readers that they, with little ingenuity
and plenty of time, can manufacture them
for themselves with much less cost. For
windows of ordinary width, muslin one
yard and quarter wide is required, and :,
three yards and a half in length. The
trimming may be OF flannel or Canton
flannel (the latter is much the clleaper),
and i'll several different colors, or only one
color. This is put on in bands and the
edges receive q finishing touch with the
addition of the feather stitch embroidered
in pretty contrasting color. The tops of
the curtains are fastened TO wood or metal
rings and these strung on apole which serves
in place of cornices.-NeD York Fashion
