ECHOES FROM ST LOUIS.
"A lovely dress exhibited at Barr's is

dress of moire antique, the pelisse of bro.
caded velvet, heavily trimmed with fur
The church booths, as is usually the
case at such times, charged every body who
patronized them mercilessly and unchar.
itably, and of course made money by the
barrel.
The geological department of the ex-
position grounds not only found Numerous
admirers among the Country cousins,
but the city beau and and belle, pater AMI
mater, all alike were equally we'll pleased
Among the thousands of beautiful
articles exhibited i'm the Textile hall, may
be mentioned a white cashmere sacque,
embroidered in wild roses, SO exquisitely
shaded and SO delicately finished that il
seemed as If a touch would shake the
pollen from them, or impregnate the air
with their fragrance.
Among the elegant dress goods dis
played in the cases at the exposition were
some rich specimens of brocaded velvet
combined with satin One of these was of
white, one of ice blue, one canary. another
of sea she'll pink, and still another of
crushed strawberry. The eye was almost
dazzled by the magniGcence displayed in
these materials.
The fashionable hats exhibited both
at the exposition and in many OF the lead
ing millinery establishments, comprise
turbans and broad brims both. They are
of velvet, principally, and are trimmed
with small blue and golden plumaged
birds. gorgeous green, scarlet and blue
parrakeets, or pure white and naturally
colOred pigeons in their entirety.
While it would not be of interest to
the general reader of the BAzoo to enter
into anything like a detailed account con-
corning the great exposition which has
Just been successfully closed in st. Louis
and which SO many Sedalians attended, yet
q few notes, gathered here and there, i'm the
much regard to either system or arrange
ment, may not be deemed inappropriate.
Plush embroidery is something novel
as we'll as new, aud those who saw the dis
play of this az Barr's, and also at the ex-
position, must have been pleased with its
effectiveness. The plush is in the antique
and bright shades, is cut out In the shape
of leaves OF fruit, and is then pasted upon
the table scarf, the piano cover, the mah-
tie, lambrequin or whatever is deemed de-
sirable to ornament. The pattern may be
arranged IN any form, and after it is pasted,
it is edged with a pretty irridescent cord,
which may be bought for twenty five cents
per ball. 1t is simple and easy, but Won
derfuIly pretty.
-Arrasene embroidery being now the
rage among the Ladies who do fancy work.
and truly it is the pret.iest thing in this
way yet gotten up-it may be a useful sug-
gestion to say that it is a great Saving of
time and money TO 60 at once to Bars
great emporium in st Louis, get The satin,
have it stamped in pattern of Ca liza, or
water or tiger lilies, sunflowers or
pansies. or tulips. or. whatever the
individual taste may suggest, and then 60
directly to Mrs. Tivey, the lady who pre-
sides over the fancy work department, and
allow her to select the arrasene according
to her own idea of color and quantity. She
does it quickly, artistically and we'll, and
thus the saving.
Lavish expenditure in the large cities
is now notable sign of the times Every
thing is rich and gorgeous, and the display
of rich goods upon the counters, the glitter
of magnificent jewels in the jewellers cases,
the deliberately upholstered and artisiically
carved furniture displayed by the dealers
is a temptation which is at least hard to
resist by those favored by Fortunes smiles.
An age of magnifcence seems to have made
it, abiding place, not only in the homes of
the wealthy, bat even among class who
are not SO by any means. Carpets and
curtains, dresses and jewels, equipage and
fittings of all kinds must be of the best, and
moneyis the god which prince and plebeian
alike worship.
The beauty and grandeur of the illu-
limitations upon the principal boulevards
of the city were something which has set
precedent for all the other cities of this
country One hundred thousand dollars
were contributed by the merchants of the
city for this purpose, and truly the imag-
iEation can conceive of nothing more bril-
liantIy beautiful. Nearly $4,000 gas jets
shed their bewildering light through red,
blue, white and golden colored globes, and
o. they reflected back from the immense
plnte glass windows of the adjacent build
