TRYs COSTUMES.
The two thousand roses which sandwich
cd the Vanderbilt mantelpisce on the night
OF their grand ball, is evidence that these
Queens of the garden are still Queens reg
nant. For dinner table they are often
now arranged singly and with large stalks,
pains being taken Of course that the one
rose shall be very beautiful, but occasional
ly Q succession of handsome tulips finds
preference. Against smlax she has nothing
excey that one is tired of it, and therefore
never fsvorites arise in the shape Of ivy and
japanese fern, which sdorn walls and
staircases in profushion proportioued to
the entertainers purse. Single roses or tu-
lips lying in lowly succession around q
dinner table, give the keynote to q fashion
able idss-namely, fstness; any many an
elegant piece of silverwsre has been sent
into obscurity because not fat enough.
DOMESTIC.
Spiders and beetles now stretch their
legs unheeded as they glisten in jewellers

chooses rather from collections of frying
pans, broilers, dippsrs, tongs, shovsls and
the like. Suggestive Of domestic comfort,
they nestle cunningly anywhere she may
place them, and serve as shining and per-
pstua! hints to admirers backward in
breathing anticipated vows. Then again,
what contrast more effective and unique
than that brought about by a psrfumed
rose, ayellow water ersss of fresh clover
kept in position by some utensil of the
kitchen, and to poetry and beefsteak thus
united the worst case of bachelordom
might succumb. The three varieties Of
flowers just named are especially liked fol
corsage adernment.
SPRING MILLINERY.
Cslored straws are in capote shape, but
larger than winter styles, and flowers are
small and punched. Clover is very fash

ural but unnatural colors, while COMING

will flaunt this summer, and indeed, when
one wants scarlet flower, know of moth

great novelty 10 millinery are the embroid-
cred linen, batiste and canvas ribbons with
