NEW YORK FASHIONS.

1t is another thing to know how to wea,
it. A fashionable milliner said to me

remarked sensibly that l thought I

as she would have had me do. They
wear their hair in lofty Notifications far

Is pescted above. Fortunately, however,
they are in the minority, and such ab-
surdity is not a necessity. Shapes are
nothing in particular" That ia 20 say,
there is no one feature, or features, which
stand prominently forth. Crowns are
ncs:lc. hign nor low, nor are brims
either wide or narrow. Nevertheless. We
have both hard and soft crowns, and as
to brims, they speak ct least a dozen
different languages. We have saucy
brims, tenCrf 5rims, severe brims. CO.
quettish brims, brims turning Up. and
brlms going down, ETC., etc., to say moth

very youthful brims, full-fedged young
lady brims, matronly brin.s, end elderly
brims. But the last mentioned are few

ladies do not grow old. This does not
mean that they are q short lived race.
Far from it. Youth here extends almost
if not fully as far as the days allotted to
mans entire pilgrimage upon this planet,
nor do silvercd locks oppose any obstacle
to young lady brims filled in with ali the
colors of the rainbow. For just now all
the colors of the rainbow are in favor,
not only in millinery, but in dress goods.
Not in plain material, however, for here
without exception the colors are dark,
but in the bourette fabrics (Which, COM
bined with plain goods, are the rage) we
find the brightest and most varied hues,
mixed up in the most ;ndiscriminate aud

| CHILDREN's FASHIONS,
Bourette goods are as popular for
school girls as for ladies, but are hardly
adopted for young children. For misses,
q favo, 'te selection is dark hourette goods
piped With bright red, and coquettishly
finished here and there witt, a bright red
bow to match, while for small children,
plain dark materials are chosen, and
these in like manner are frightened by
gay additions. Pipings OF blue or yellow
ere also seen, but are not in as great
favor as red. In consequence of such
preferences, we find that Scotch plaids
arc seldom worn, but IL lien .hsreof!as

and twelve, the Breton dress, or the robe
Princess, afford charming models. The
Rita is likewise extremely pretty, being
especially adapted to combination suits
while the Wildred, always very stylish
is usually selected for costumes of CHECK
