Easter Sunday was bright with flowers
and harmonious with sweet music inside
tho churches that observe this feast
OF moons, but the weather was gloomy and
disagreoable. The fashion Of bank
ing flowers that is, piling them
Ia great masses on tables, mantles,
widow stills, etc, was followed by the
church decorators with superb effect. In
some churches the pulpit or reading desk
was mass Of gorgeous cooring. Fonts 20
those convenient little Jordans that suffice
for modern baptism were filed with flowers
and covered with delicate trailing plants.
Every available space was covered with
flowers.
So far there ia no startling change in fash
ions. The weather is too cold for regular
spring tolettes. | have been favored with
the sight of some spring bonnets however,
md also some dresses and wraps, but saw
nothing very marked to report, except the
exquisite beauty of the flowers and fabrics,
and the profusion Of ornaments Of every. i'm
aginable shape, material and color, gilt,
bronze, steele, silver and jet, swords, pistols,
horso-shoes, cornucopias, snails, beetles, c0ta-
pllers-well | had better stop. 1t would
take less time to say what Is not represented
on the bonnets and dresses of the day than
what is. A few days ago | saw q
lady superbly dressed in, garnet velvet
aud silk From one side of her garnet velvet
bonnet dropped n graceful plume of creamy
white; the crown which was very large was
covered with exquisite silk embroidery, scat
tered over with tiny gold beads-on the other
side crawled n great, hidoous, slX-legged
beetle, so very life like that felt like crying
out. "0h where're ye goin' ye crawlin'
fairlie ?" Semo of the ball-dresses are really
works of art, and some of the street costumes
maryels of beauty. But haveno time left
for elaborate descriptions. Bouquets OF
natural flowers, mostly yellow, are worn at
the belt, both on indoor and outdoor cos
tunes, and natural flowers are generally used
in the hair and on ball dresses. Some
