EASTER FASHIONS.
Oriental lace will be as popular as ever.

Oriental lace will be as popular as ever.
Spanish lace, which will be used in profusion,
is now dy ed to match the costume exactly
Tan colored undressed kid gloves will remain
in vogue through the spring and summer, their
only rival IN color being those OF stone or grey
shades.
The favorite wrap for all save very Young
ladies is visite to match the dress, and this not
unfreouentlv has an extra lining of quilted silk,
which may be taken out when desired.
Combination costumes are as much liked as
ever, with this difference, that the figured mate
rial is generally used for the skirt, instead
of for the bodice, it having been discovered that
plain material is more becoming for the latter
purpose
There is a great fancy for skirts tucked, pleat-
ed in clusters or slashed, with fan pleatings in
serted, below a scarf drapery folded across the
front and arranged to form limp back drapery
in one large, high puff and two fiat ends which
quite cover the back of the skirt
Dresses made entirely of lace are dainty
novelty worn by those who can afford such ex-
pensive iuxuries. Made over a black silk they
are worn for dress occasions in the day time and
silks of delicate colors for evening. 1t must
be owned that nothing can be more elegant
Lace mitts, both black and white are shown
again for midsummer; for handsome mitts are
those of Chantilly laces with lenglhwise stripes
on the back to make the hands look slender;
the more closely woven Marguerite mitts of
silken threads are for morning and plain wear.
The fashionable color is green, and all shades
thereof are worn. In dress goods the preference
is forvery dark green for street suits and home
toilets, and pale tints for evening A yellowish
apple green is the latest shade, and, indeed, all
vegetable green's are STANDARDIZATION, cab
bage green, myrtle, olive, lichen- green, etc. a
Embroidered yokes initiating the guimpe
dresses worn by children will be worn again by
young ladies. The all-over embroidery may be
used for the yoke, or else it is formed of alter
nate bands of fine tucks and of insertion. The
lower edge of the yoke has row of edgng set
on it with the scallops turned upwards, and this
is continued over the arm holes like shoulder
straps
The new pinafore front, revival of the Jew
ess tunic, is style likely to find favor with econ
omical women. both as a means of freshening
an old dress and making the same dress do duty
as two distinct toilets. 1t is, as its name indi-
Gates, an apron, fitted to the figure and covering
the whole front of the dress from the shoulders
down. Its effect is greatly improved by cutting
Sits either side, little below the waist-line,
near the hips. and draping plain sash through
them, letting it form festoon in front and full
ends behind.

Where the Modistes Disagree.

New York Commercial Advertiser.
Where the modistes, like the doctors, disagree,
it is just as we'll for the women of correct taste
to do as she pleases In one recently published
fashion periodical it is announced that velvet
is to be used for trimming every fabric from
for midsummer weather; while another publica-
ton, also assuming to be an authority in such
matters, declares that the velvet is to be no
longer worn, but will give place to the
less becoming MORE. 1t is also positively
affirmed by one modiste that plain round skirts
have had their day, owing to the difficulty in
properly adjusting them;" while another, with
equal positiveness. asserts that ''pain round and
tucked skirts will continue to be worn, owing to
their great popularity" The fact is that fashion
on both these points has issued no memorable
fat On the contrary. great latitude is given to
individual TASTE and every woman may wear
velvet or MORE, tucks or founces plain skirts
or trimmed skirts bouffant or straight draperies,
as best may please her fancy, and yet be sure to
find that, in any case, she will not be out of
fashion.

The BeauvOir House and How the People
Speak of Its Occupant.
Joaquin Miller, in New York Independent
Perhaps the most notable residence along this
warm, sandy sea bank is that of jefferson Davis.
They call him President Davis here. They speak
of him with great respect Jefferson Davis is
not deihed at all, as some writers foolishly say.
But. repeat, he is greatly respected. And when
you bear in mind that there is not one of these
ten million people who did not put some sort of
sacrifice on the altar of Southern opinion, you
will not be surprised This man stands as a
token to them. Personally think, they see
little of him and know little of him, these grey
old mothers whose sons went down in BATTLE
these beautiful girls Of the South whose
fathers never came back any more. But they
have their memories and their traditions. They
call him President Davis, and will continue to
do so while he lives. great many Northern
people visit Mr.. Davis, and all with the noblest
motives am told he has many more visitors
from the North than from the South.
"Beauvoir" is not part of this long and roomy
place, strictly speaking, nor Is it a watering
place, but an old plantation bequeathed to the
great Mississippian not many years since. 1t is
a beautiful spot among the pines and vines but
is sadly dilapidated. Davis is poor man, / am
told, and cannot afford to keep the place up. 1t
is set little back from the sea, and is not too
close to the railroad.
Of course the desire to see this man, now in
the last days Of his historical and tempestuous
life is irresistible when almost within call. And

should say, from what have seen and then

A Veteran Treasury Clerk.

Washington Letter
Mason Campbell, the oldest of the clerks, is
eighty -six years old. He has the look of pa
triarch. He is still strong, well-preserved man.
He has very large head, thickly covered with a
white name OF hair, which shows no sign Of
falling out. His color is fresh and good. The
lower part of his face is buried in great white
mustache and voluminous beard, which descends
we'll down onto his breast. He wears gold bowed
glasses close up against his eyes, which are still
clear and bright. The old gentleman has very
little to say to those about him. He is still able
to do his work we'll. When spoken to he has to
shake himself together as if his mind was always
absent and as it he recalled it with difficulty.
He was appointed in 1S47, from West Virginia
He, however, was born and brought up in New
Hampshire. He went into the department at a
salary of ST. 200. and after nearly forty years of
faithful service has reached the pay of 81, 400.
Twelve hundred dollars at the time of his ap-
in Washington was cheap. This income was
fully equal to that of So, 900 now.

The Fools PRAYER.

-
The royal feast was done; the king
Sought some sport to Danish care.
And to his jester cried. Sir Fool,
Kneel now for and make prayer
The Jester dotted his cap and bells,
And stood the hooking court before,
They could not see the bitter smile
Behind the painted grin he wore.
He bowed his head and bent his knee
Upon the monarch's silken stool;
His pleading voice arose, 20 Lord,
Be merciful to me- fool!
'sNo pity, Lord. could change the heart
From red with wrong to white wool;
The rod must heal the sin; but, Lord
Be merciful to me, fool!
g IT'S by our guilt the onward sweep
Of truth and right, Lord, we stay,
Ills by our follies that so long
We hold the earth from heaven away.
''These clumsy feet, still in the mire,
Go crushing blossoms without end.
These hard wellmeaning hands we thrust
Among the heart strings of friend.
''The illtime truth that we have kept
We know how sharp it pierced and stung!
The words we mad not sense to say
Whosknows how grandly it had rungs
''Our faults no tenderness should ask,
The Christening stripes must cleanse them all;
But for our blunders-oh, in shame
Before the eyes of heaven we fall
Earth bears no blossoms for mistakes:
Men crown the knave, and scourge the tool
That did his will; but thou, o Lord,
Be mercful to me, a fool"
The room was hushed; in silence rose
The king, and sought his garden cool,
And walked apart and murmured low
BE merciful to me. a fool"

Unseen but Real.

We shall meet again and love more,

Exhaled from the blossoms clustered there.
Odors we never can touch nor see,
Nor solve the depth of their mystery.

Ribbons on Muslin Dresses.


White satin or MORE ribbons two inches wide
are used on graduates dresses; pale salmon, sky
blue, and poppy red used singly on other
white dresses, while the new idea is the combi-
nation of ribbon of three colors. The bows
used are of the most varied shapes: for instance,
a large square fanshaped bow is worn
on the corsage on the left side of the waist line.
At the throat back of the neck and on the
position, the bow must be of two or three
dropping loops with sharply denied
longer ends The bow at the wrists
may be small square bow, with two loops and
tw short ends, or else it may have a single loop
turned towards the inside of the arm, with two
short ends that drop below it. The belt of rib
bon is now fastened in front by bow with two
loops, each half yard long, and with still longer
ends or else such bow as this is placed on one
end Of the overskirt, and full rosette fastens
the belt in front. Wide sash ribbons are draped
across the front and sides in folds. and have a
long, Topped bow, with ends on the right side,
while the left end disappears under the back
