NEW YORK FASHIONS.

Combination Costulnes-The Heather
chinee-Parasols-S shopping
Medium styles of trimmings are con
spicuous by their absence. There are
very rich rainbow beaded or jet passe-
menteries and fringes, but these are
adapted to elegant costumes worn at
watering places, and would look absurd
if placed on summer silks, or any varie-
" of the large family of light silks and
wool fabrics imported for summer wear.
Such facts are decided hint, not only
of the continued popularity of conibina-
ton costumes, but even of a necessity |
for them, since there is really nothing /
else left for us to do than TO trim cos |
tune of plain material with yard or |
more of fancy fabric or rice eerSa, to |
combine a plain material in shading |
on a rich toilet of figured goods. All
proportions indeed, are regarded as
correct: oftentimes the outfit is of the
two materials in equal quantity, and TO
give any rules would be quite as pnz-
zling as 10 bring into line that un-
lucky combination of 13-14-15, Nhen
10 has gotten on the wronk side. But 1t
certainly is proper that young girls should
indulge more freely in a display of light,
fanciful fabric, than where middle life
| has been reached or bordered upon. The
| Nicheline is a new design for walking
skirt which gives the effect of long
overskirt open halfway up the front and
moderately bonfiauI at the hack, and
with this, the Marquise basque combines
prettily. The Leontine is another stylish
street costume with long casaquin and
cut away fronts. The Odelte is also a
short street with long, plain sedingate
and shirred front, and the Famine over
skirt and Perinette jacket would like
wise make a pretty spring outfit. The
Blanca is q new demi-train.
THE HEATHER CHINEE.
We raise an outcry against the heather
: Chinee, but nothing will be thought
more distinguished this summer, than
Chinese ideas in dress. We are not
quite so demented, it is true, as to array
ourselves after the manner of figures on
tea caddies, but everywhere in material,
there is an endeavor to copy. In Gotten
goods, Fleur de The; (Flower of Tea
Crese Yokohama, and Crosse Yedds are
the things, while in silken materials
wool, silk and wool; and even in the
bingham family can be seen the crini
lings peculiar to Canton Grape. The

terms, and in view of their nicely 0
It texture and stylishness will be sOmewha
s expensive, ranging from 40 10 10 cent
l. per yard. Stamped" silks, satins ant
n very thin woOlens are also a leading
feature in spring goods. The figure

old fashioned challies and other good

ii NEW PARAsoLs.
One is taken back far into the Ion
q ago by sight of the new Drown par
soils. They are provided, each one, wit
-, a quaint ivory ring suspended from Il
- top, which is brought down upon occ
- sion when one wishes to close the par
sol. All manner of beautiful brocad
are used and Spanish and cashme
laces are iavOrite edgings, the latter a
he pearing with especially good effect
'e- parasols of ecru pOAgee. Brilliant b.
nc peculiar lights are cast by changeab
~ silk Innings, which are placed benin
III the ribs, which are the more conspicuo
ne because they are painted red. Twelve

novel.
