New YORK, April Winter wraps
will be exchanged for short circular
mantillaS, with long ends in front, and
from such leading type, there are a
variety of gradatiOnS where the smaller
are no more really than capes. In
wool We find camel's hair or cashmere
trimmed with fringe or lace; dressier
styles are of satin, brOcade, etc, or
newer vet of Spanish net laid upon satin,
while for midsummer, small coverings
are Ofsilk or wool Spanish net that is
a feature in dress goods and shown in
all colOrs. In every material, however,
black leads for wraps, although jackets
are chiefly in cheviOt mixtures.
A LA MILITAIRE.
What with buttons and braids
and braids and buttons, our
fare that will cause to quake the most
military heart. Small bullet shaped
buttons are very fashionable, and an
instinct Ofnature points to a combina-
ton with braids which are run in rows
around edges, up the fronts of costumes
and in epaulets on shoulders. Again,
these pretty pOintingS, for indeed such
stylish buttons are little mOre,) are
bestowed in military rows illuming out
fits of plain goods and forming substi-
tuteS for brOcade. Metal is in high
favor for buttons of all kinds and Is
cOlOred in contrast or to match. Other
buttons are of medium size, but fashion
has taken wide leap from the very
large ones; they are dead, if not for
gotten, and great rush is made for
their diminutive successors. FringeS
are brought out TO suit new fabrics, both
silkcn and jet. Shirring is extremely FASH
iOnable, and plaitings still live. In ways
of making, however, there is a marked
absence of novelty. Nothing IS really
new in design, and, as formerly, We
shall have basques, trimmed skirts,
Overskirts and ofpOlonaises quite a tribe.
Not few
NEW WOODS.
are covered with small sized birds or
animals heads. In France, and else
where on the other side the entirety IS
portrayed, but here, rs yet, the homely
phiz OF poor Tray, the. pensiy.e
countenance of an owl or the classic
prOfile of a chanticleer SufficeS. Other
woods show very large inwrought floral
patterns, set very far apart, While
change is given by moons, interSectinS
rings or mathematical bodies, colOrS be-
ing either quite pronounced or the re-
verse. Pretty outfits in wash fabrics
checked or striped, and here the
Cash CmbrOidcries woven in coIored
-;rires or chcuucr board designs, are
chosen rs a finish. The cOlOrs are per-
Erctly fast, and fine cord on one side Is
made to draw up, so that they are easily
sewn on. Perhaps, too, this may be the
/ season that the white frillingS are AGAIN
being used on undCrclOthing. Cash
woven initial letters for marking have
/ also proved n great success. NO
/ wonder, since they relieve us from that
dreadful old ink bottle; the price,
l furthermore, being so low As to come
/ within everybody's This year they
/ are brought out i'm navy blue Us well as
/ Turkey red. Both wash perfectly; and
80 popular has this style of marking be-
B come, that ladies frequently have the
/ entire name made TO order.
PARASOLS.
As n SIGN of Independence of Shlrrlng
We notice the new parasOls provided
with n SHRED rutilc that is ended by
lace. From eiget to ten ribs are seen
and materials, of course, follow dress
/ goods, for the parasol of late years has
. steadily risen in importance, and iSa no.
/ table Dart of the outfit. Then too, ~
flowers are extremely fashiOnbie, be-
hold n finish given the coming parlSoi,
by an artificial bouquet set i'll SllNen
how nj the top. This, of course, can Ot
removed if one should think it too gay
lint ladies i'm general will find no htth
| amusement in changing these Hover
M will. Sun umbrellas are striklnglS
attractive, because made of double faced
satin. where frequently affective con
trasts are noticeable.
THE NEW BONNET.
will usuaIIv he trimmed with ribbon
rather than silk. Indeed this is a season
of ribbons, and so they appear III Srea
variety. Many are wrought III Opel
work almost seeming to be silken laceS
Striped or Plaided ribbons are imported
because both are a feature IN ares
goods, and in richer styles lntermiXture
of plush appear, But plain ribbon
have a high position, and are often pre-
ferrcd by people Satiatcd with iahcc;
novelties. Here the new satin Royal,
ribbon is sought for because 1t is so sol
i'm texture, while showing the Satiny
surfaced rep that is driving out SAITH
proper. IaceS of all kinds are in extra
ordinary demand and are being lavish,
combined with flowers, where, from
masses of small ones up to large sizes
we find everything fashionable. Belle
will be veritable flower girls, Will
flowers on their paraSols, flowers OF
their hats and huge bouquets of flower
ON their corsa-eS. lis funny enough
now at the Opera to see them comm!
in. each one wearing more enormOu
bunch than her predecessor. Not even
n bud i'm the hair, but often four an,
twenty roses just below their prett!
