For the Ladies to Read.
Black satin dresses are fashionable.
E~mbroideries of black tr1le are fav-
ored.
Panama tweeds are a new styie of
dress goods.
Among the new ornaments for bon
nets are straw beads.
The spring bonnets are large and
have wide brims.
Fresh importations of rich millinery
show many novelties.
For house shawls the ~favorite choice
is the square Chuddah.
Mother-of-pearl embroideries are
quite the rage for this season.
White bonnets will be especially
dressy with strings of Breton lace.
Rustic straw bonnets will be worn
with mourning and travelling suits.
The jet ornaments for black lace bon
nets are the handsomest yet imported.
Dark navy-blue and brown are the
most fashionable colors for cambries.
Icicle-fringe for evening dresses is
made of strings of white glass beads.
Brazilian beetles will be used to or
nament white chip and braid bonnets.
Short, seantily-gored skirts of gray
mohair are made up for Balmoral pet
ticoats.
Black net bonnets will be worn, with
jet feathers and Breton lace for trim
mings.
A great deal of very fine stirring will
be used on all thin fabrics in the sum-
mer.
Cuirasses with paniers formed of rich
fabrics are favored by some of our So
ciety ladies.
Dotted Swiss muslins are made over
colored silica, garnitured with lace and
ribbons.
Satin vests are worn without trim
mings under the open waists. This
style is very pretty.
New white muslin skirts are trimmed
with two or three pleated frills ofHam-
burg embroidery.
Chemisettes will be worn with open
corsages, which are expected to be in
vogue next summer.
Colored tissue, arranged in the shape
of a butterfly, embroidered with gold,
is a model dress garniture.
Peacock-green and blue are the lead
ing colors in spring silks. Wood-col-
ors are also produced in fine fabrics.
The combination of solors in bonnets
that will be the most fashionable is that
of dark red, with eream-color.
For midsummer, from June to the
month of August, linen collars with
colored embroidery will be much worn.
Louis Quatorze jabots made very full
and very long are the dressy novelties
provided instead of the small throat
bows.
The favorite pleating for the neck
and wrists of dresses is of Breton lace
in two rows, one of which is wider than
the other.
The style of trimmings for street cos
tunes is exceedingly neat; bias bands
of Pekin satin and faille, same shade
as dress goods.
Bonnets composed of a simple, gar
land of flowers mixed with black and
white lace, and with strings tied in a
large bow under the chin, are revived.
Easter Sunday will tell the story in
the world of dress. On this great re-
FETE day the first and freshest
ideas in seasonable toilets will be fully
illustrated.
Disorder still reigns in the camp of
bonnets. There is no preference or ex-
.clusion. Every one wears what she
pleases-a cake-mold, saucepan, pie
plate or basket; in a word, whatever
comes to hand.
New French chemises are made with
closely fitted bands that button on each
shoulder, instead ofin front. The band
around the neck is formed of fine small
tucks done by hand, and there are clus-
tiers of tucks six or even inches deep,
separated by spaces extending length
wise down the front.
