ron THE LADIES.

White and pink opal beads are beau
tifully introduced In the new bead en-
broideries OF light satins.
Tiny boquets of small flowers like
myosotis, h~elltrope, or lilac, are at
taehed to long gloves and the handles
Of fans.
Among the fashionable blendings OF
color are heliotrope the dark soft purple
shade, and pink, gold and peacock
elaret and blue, terra-cotta brown and
light blue.
Black or white satin shoes, with en-
broidery carrying out the colors Of the
costume, are more fashionable for full
dress than shoes made from the mate
rial Of the dress.
Light almond, japanese blue, pearl
gray, and lilac dresses draped
above finely killed silk skirts OF the
same color, will be made for young
ladies after Easter.
Handsome bodices are seen in silk,
cut like a short cuirass, with plastron
OF velvet turned back with white gui-
pore, or colored casmere lace u finger
deep down the whole front.
Rosebud and blossom girls wanted
was tine pretty sign seen from tie win
dow Of a Broadway stage one morning
lately It vas the advertisement Of an
artificial flower maker.
The dark blue cottons and cotton
stockings so much In wear are all the
better for soaking in a solution of alum
and water before using. which prevents
the disaRreeable ''croaking" and also
fading of which many wearers CON-
plain.
Beige, gold, pearl, and silver beads
will be much used on cream. mignon-
cite. green and pink, giving the rich,
semitones Of color which are admired.
This soft shading is finely adapted to
throw out the tints Of brunettes, but
blondes may rival the effects In the
same colors by a~ccenting them with
black or terra Gotta ~velvets, a discre-
ton.
Not only the obnoxious tidy, but its
name also is out Of use. Chair scarfs
have superseded the aniimarcassar.
Strips Of linen or pongee, long and wide
enough TO cover the back Of the chair,
are embroidered in silks. or crewels in
brilliant designs taken from Japanese
panel cards. and the ends heavily
fringed. Only washable materials~can
be in good taste for these removable
scarfs.
The Austrian embassy In Paris has
discovered a novel entertainment for
fashionable society I'm the shape Of the
bal pdysdIl, at which all the guests ap-
pear in picturesque peasant costumes,
and use the familiar ''tu'' Of the coun-
try people, instead VI the respectful
"rois." The penalty Of forgetfulness
is a short imprisonment behind n gilt
grating in the drawingroom, from which
the offender is released on paying a fine,
and the coins collected are sent by the
hostess next morning to public charity.
As lace is so much worn nowadays,
we beg leave TO differ from the art
authority which lately gave directions
that Breton ard Malines should be used
in kilt p~leatings. From scme study of
lace we should say lace ought neve to
be worn In pleatings, whose formality
destroys its character. Only the softest
rufilng, or the large hollow pleats which
show the pattern OF the lace, as in the
ruffs Of old pictures, are tolerable. The
pleated Breton seen in quantity Is a
waste Of good material, destroying its
transparency and iightness, running its
pattern, and giving a coarse, harsh ma
terial in place Of its airy beauty.
DR.. Barrows, in the Congregationalist,

longing to a family Of his church, who
was sometimes taken TO the Episcopal
church in town, which was nearer his
home. After wriggling and tumbling
through much Of the service, the boy,
who had lately begun to go to school,
said: "Mother, after this reading and
spelling shall we be let outp" "Yes,
Yes, my darling, sit still" 1t was the
sermon, and he hushed his spine com
plant until the rector lifted his sleeved
and vastly robes to pronounce the bene.
