NOTABLE FEATURES OF FASHION
41s AND PROGRESS. -

I After late lingering Winter how
grateful to soul and sense are the lat
itudes and Iustres Of Spring. Nature
throughout the length and breadth Of
the land puts on her fower-garhished
robes Of green, while for US ID the
great city, the sun showers fall upon
echOing by-paths Of granite ana as
phalt; and we are fain to enjoy such
glimpses Of early flowers as are OBJ
tainable from the show windows Of
the dry goods temples Of gothaO.
Shopping is delicious business III the

AT Lord & Tsylor's-they have
the ioveliest things, and the Styles
are simply perfect. Dress goods
cover the entire ground of possibility
in the matter Of color, texture and
combination. Hats run a ganfit of
grades and sizes from extreme to- the
other One can scarcely 60 astray
either in the class Of article, Of in
the fashion Of its make or trimming.
Yet while they have class Of i'm
portations Of purest taste and tone,
destined in character and qualify 10
meet the requirements Of the favored
few, the needs of the large public are
looked after with 2 foresight which is
marvellous, and the greatest care and
promptness are exercised in filing
orders by mail. All classes Of goods
are safely and swiftly transported by
post Or express to all parts Of the
country. This method Of purchasing
by proxy vouchsafes to residents re-
mote from great mercantile ceptres
the privileges, without the attendant
drawbacks and expenses Of life, near
the marts Of the metropolis Itia an
ingenious system Of equaIiaing the
diversified facilities Of an age which
tends to the highest possibilities Of
culture and progress to the aesthetic
as well as the material phases Of civ
