cluster similarly arranged Is Of old gold
fading into cream color; the third i
chestnut, deepening into the darkest
brown.
GINGHAMs.
Ginghams come in quite large cheeks
of three colors. such a. red. white and
black; red, blue and black; black. white
and blue. Others initiate the wsA
Scotch plaids Of different clans. The
pretty pale blue and salmon ginghams Of
French make fppear again; these have
little chene dashes Of scarlet, black or
white over he surface. pique Is obso-
lete, but there j. new material, very
nearly a. thick, called faille, and II sim
ply repped cotton. These are extremely
fanciflI in cOl0rs
BIRDS DEPosED.
The grand ensemble arrived at by mil
liners Will be seen comprising a. many
colors placed together a. possible, max
ing, however, a harmonious appearance.
The absurdity Of heaping full-slzed par
rots, great owls heads. birds apparently
dying, with pitiful outstretched legs and
bills apart, on winter bonnets has been
fully appreciated; therefore, flowers OF
the most exquisite description are Just
imported 10 tempt women 10 cultivate a
taste for the innocent and beautiful, and
set an example against the cruel fashion
of birds for decoration.
THE MY BONNET SHAPES.
The lovely new bonnets are yet un.
trimmed, but OF course il is the shape

say that We have arrived at the happy
medium, ana the shapes show such a
variety that all tastes may be suited.
The ilaring "Directoire' is revived from
last year in white chip and Tuscan. The
"Sara Bernhardt' Is a poke, and the
Marie Christine" has q broad brim,
which has slit on the front to be turned
back against the large crown; this l.
pretty and coquet,Ish. The fashionable
straw j. yellow Tuscan; Leghorns are
seen, also chips, but fancy straws will be
very popular.
BEADwoRK, a. distinguished from jet
trimming, is In use again. IL was en-
ployed in decorative needlewOrk a.
long ago as the time Of the ancient Egyp-
tians.
MUcH lace will be used in spring mil
linery. Brown and purple viii lie deli
cately blended in new bonnets and cos
TUNES; 50 will purple and yellow In the
light crocus tints.
CANEI's-HAIR shawls are cut up for
elegant morning dresses. A less ruinous
fancy is to wear z small square shawl,
pleated as drapery on the back Of the
robe, which is done without injuring the
shawl.
THE family filter and waier-cooler are
the latest subjects for decoration, and
very well chosen, too. Why should not
touch OF judicious color and gliding
rob these necessary furnishings OF their
homeliness?
LITTLE pin-cushons, painted instead
of embroidered, 80 as to have the least
fuliness IN the vest pocket; are en- regle
for gentlemen to carry to balls, with a
view to being ready to help their part
ners in possible accidents to laces and
trains.
THE new colors for the season are lsa'
belle yellow, with buff tinge, pheasant
brown. coachman's drab, and the polite
purple shades-always French, refined
and delightful-mauye, lilac. Lavender
and the deep purple-gray heliotroPe.
FoR cleaning laces, gloves or ribbons
nothing is better than alcohol of the best
quality. The article TO be cleaned
should be well stretched and fastened
then rubbed and rinsed with the spirit
which quickly dries without odor
BANDS of printed cashmere with the
figures outlined and veined with fine
gold-colored silk in chain stitch by ma
chine are fashionable trimmin q quickly
prepared. The soft, ine-printed cotton'
