not few with wings extended. But
some were quite small; notably on
the corsage where ten hummiug birds
! were placed on one side, against one
larger bird on the other A little bird
was perched on each sleeve at the el-
bow (Where the sleeve ended) and one
was at the back Of the neck. In
JEWELRY
the latest thing is the 'kerchief pin,
which owes its origin, rise and pro-
gress to the silk 'kerchief craze which
has overtaken US this winter Almost
every lady you meet wears silk 'ker-
chief tucked in around her neck, and
now the seekers after novelties are
superadding an ornamental pin, just
! such a pin as gentlemen have for a
long time worn in thei' neckties-that
is so far as the fundamental idea goes.
, But here, as elsewhere, when woman
takes a matter in hand We find changes
for the better. Men remained satis-
fed with all sorts of heads making
wry faces at you, skulls and cross
bones, or if they 7entured away from
these things, contented themselves
with tobacco pipes, whips and repre-
sentations of like character, believing
them quite beautiful. Now We find
the loveliest devices in the way of tiny
bouquets Of foWerets, minute and fairy
fern leaves, frosted bells and fifty other
such pretty notions.
A PROPHECY OF SPRING.
Cashmere ideas will lead next sum-
mer. "Cashmere" thus used, has no.
thing to do with that highly respect
able material, so-called, and which is
generally understood to belong to the
family of nerinos. The word Cash
mere" in this newer sense is derived
from the vale of Cashmere in India.
aud is used to signify Oriental ideas
in many differing varieties, but bear
ing general resemblances which We
Immediately recognize. Cashmere
materials have been among the most
elegant used this winter, both in mil
linery and costumes, and now the
latest agony is Cashmere stockings.
All this is excellent. We Western
people stand first where sewing ma
chimes, pianos and such like are con-
cerned, and We electrify the world
with our electric lights, but for much
that is beautiful, ne must acknowledge
the Orientals as our superiors and
therefore we do we'll to copy after
them. Writing Of pianos, reminds
me Of the fact that some Of the most
elegant New Years gifts made here
were Haines Bros. pianos. All their
instruments are excellent and of supe-
rior workmanship, but a special de-
mand seems to have arisen for their
uprights, which not only embody all
the latest and best ideas, but have
special features of their own. An i'm.
portant one is that their uprights have
three strings, while those Of other
makers have only two. Their NUN Der
is 124 Fifth Avenue.
A NEW DEPARTURE.
Among original devices the pub
fishers of thatiwell known periodical
Ehrich's Fashion Quarterly, have hit
upon the idea of offering their Maga-
zine free to all who may subscribe to
other magazines through their agency
Thus a reader of Harper Lippincott'
the Atlantic Monthly, ETC., who de,
sires to renew his subscription has
only to forward the usual price of the
periodical he may. wish to Messrs.
Enrich, and receive in return not only
the magazine but the Fashion Quar-.
terly as well. In this way very
popular Fashion Magazine is placed a:
the disposal of every family free Of
charge, and the result will be mighty
increase in the already vast suoscrip-
ton list cf the Quarterly. The firm
are now also issuing.an entirely new
premium list, such as books for young
and old, laces, fancy goods and hun.
dred other articles, which may be OBJ,
tanned for the trihing labor of can
vassing for subscriptions to Maga.
zine worth double the money charged.
Messrs. Enrich promise to send this
premium list free to any address.
Among new ovcrskirts we find the
Alethea, which is extremely stylish
and pretty. The Aspasia polonaise is
also quite novel and very graceful, yet
not more so than the Cressida, which
is likewise polonaise. The Fan,
chette is new costume for girls o1
from fourteen to sixteen.
