Fashion i'm Flowers.

Tulips, Japan lilies and Jacqueninot roses
have alike had their day Of fashion and fabu-
lous prices. We import our styles in flowers,
as in manners and tailor costumes, from Eng
land The London craze is now for the cul-
ture of the marvellous orchid family of
plants Both flowers and plants bring enor-
nous prices. There was an auction Of Or
chids in London not long since. One plant
alone Of very rare variety, snow white,
with seven flower spikes, was sold to Mr..
Bull, of Chelsea, for $3.50. This is equal to
the tulip craze of a century ago. Baron de
Rothschild gave dinner last week at which
the table was wholly decorated with orchid
flowers. They were in one solid bank, and
covered all the table except the edge which
was required for the plates. They cost thou
sands of dollars. Baron Ferdinand de Roths-
child has the finest collection of these plants
in Great Britain. In the present orchido-
mania which is raging, single root OF rare
kind frequently brings as much rs $500 to
$500. Florists have searched the equatorial
regions over for new varieties Orchid Gull
ture is fancy which may well absorb the at
tention. The rarest specimens need moist
dollhouse atmosphere. Some are air-plants,
and grow without particle Of earth. Thore
are one or two hardy ones growing native in
this country There are not more than two
or three fine general collections in America.
An orchid house would be a fascinating at
traction to a country home. There are many
varieties of the family. The flowers come in
such beautiful and fantastic shapes as almost
to battle description.

Health Exercises.

One is pleased to note that gymnastic exer-
cises and gymnasiums for ladies and children
are quite the fashion in New York. Both
young and married women are regular at
tendants, and derive great benefit therefrom.
The right kind of calisthenics strengthens
weak and crooked spines and limbs, gives
plump, pretty chests, strong muscles bright
eyes and dancing, red blood. 1t drives away
dyspepsia. But in practicing the exercises
the limbs must be absolutely unencumbered
by dress. The Season presents some pretty
and convenient gymnastic costumes, both for
Indies and children, as follows: "Gymnastic
costumes for children are mostly composed Of
short trousers and blouse of gray linen,
either ornamented with rows of stitching or
embroidered tastefully with border of bright
colored cotton, and drawn i'll at the waist
with broad belt and buckle or clasps; for
young and married ladies flannel robes are
particularly recommended, although dainty
arrangements are made up in soft WOODEN

The dress on the left is for the second year

trimmed with Grape. The skirt is kilt-plaited
in front, with deep box plaits at the side,

much pulled. For stout figure it should
be longer and not so bunchy. The plain,

plain, deep bias fold of Grape across the
front and sides. and above that are five mar

front is a plain, long piece of Grape, hanging
in slightly pointed folds in front and caught
up high at the sides. 1t is faced on the out

at the sides. The basque is made in jacket

Lace

Will be much worn this spring and summer;
Tight, close, and half-close fitting sacques
are much in fashion for breakfast and morn
ing wear, They are very pretty, and are
pale blue, pink, salmon, cream, or any color
to suit the wearer's complexion. They are
made of nuns yelling, cashmere, or surah
silk, and are profusely trimmed with lace.
For wooden morning robes and sacques
worsted laces are much used. A quite new
idea is that of painted lace for bonnet trim
ming It is hand-painted, of course and it is

mings The wool lace in general was never
more popular. 1t is in all colors, and is used on
all kinds of wooden dresses to match. 1t is
also put in profusion upon jerseys, in cascade
down the front, around the neck and down
the back Of the garment below the waist
The lace is the color of the jersey. Silk and
fine cotton laces also promise to be used in
greater abundance and variety than ever
before.
Deep lace fiounces will continue to be worn
upon evening dresses of all colors. Spanish
lace is as fashionable as ever. Real Chantilly
Hounces are much worn by those who can
afford them. But there are so many really
pretty and serviceable limitations Of all kinds
that it is certainly no disgrace to wear them
on ordinary costumes. The fashion of lace in
neckwear has changed somewhat. The fichu
for this season will be collar-shape, to fit the

kerchiefs are not SO much in fashion as they

The Passion for Pet Dogs.
Inter ocean,

II tell you," continued the veterinary
surgeon, this craze for pet dogs in up
perten circles is growing one. They've
got pugs, lack-and- tans, sky-blue ter
riers. poodles of all kinds, King Charles
spaniels, Scotch terriers, and bull.pups.
This passion for pets is godsend iol
veterinary doctors, as the over-pettine
OF them is sure to make them sick.
Some of these pets are crazy-lookin2
specimens. AS blooded stock they
wouldn't bring a nicGle. Some of them
are crosses between a 'yallar dog and
rlfratf that dog-fancier wouldn't give
however, and it isn't for us to dispute
their taste, especially when every sick
dog is a matter of $50 or so to us.
Are not these pets stolen sometimes"
stolen Why there are people who
make business of stealing dogs fol
the sake OF the reward that is sure to be
cred. If they steal a valuable dog
that is a dog that has red gree, and is
soaglt after for hunting purposes
they send him to some other city and
dispose of him there, but when house
hold pets are stolen an advertisement is
inserted in the papers o.cring a reward

J'EIE FASHIONS
Modes OF Dressing the Hair.

Variety in this, rs in other fashions, is the
style now. 1t may be said, too, that not in
many years have the modes Of wearing the
hair been SO healthful, airy, loose and so
little burdensome rs they are at present.
The ugly old doorkr OBJ fashion is never seen
any more on women who care how they look.
BY married women and those past the rose
bud age the hair is generally worn high upon
the head. The bangs and locks coming low
and covering the forehead are slowly going
out of fashion. The tendency is to wear the
front locks back from the brovs, somewhat.
Indeed one sees occasionally the front hair
rolled back over a cushion, after the manner
of the old French marquise Ladies with
white hair, particularly, are fond of this
style. 1t Is possible, indeed, that a year more
may the fashionable front hair combad
smoothly back. One fashion can't last for
ever, even when it is as pretty as that of
loosely curled short locks above the brows.
Short hair is more worn in New York than
one might imagine. 1t is seen frequently.
I'VE give here a couple of heads showing
the latest novelties in hair dressing for girls
and young ladies'

CATOGAN.

CAIOGAN.
The popular Partisan mode at present is
the "Catogan," shown on the left. Girls are
going into craze over it. The hair, which
must be rather short, is first parted from one
ear to the other, and then down the middle.
After the front locks have been waved slightly
they are combed straight up and fastened to
braid made before at the top of the head.
The ends of the hair are to be curled with
hot irons and arranged in loose, frizzy curls.
The back hair is waved down to the nape of
the neck, here caught together, and the whole
strand is now turned up over the hand and
tied with ribbon; in this way the hanging
hair bag "Catogan" is formed. The ends left
are also curled and left to hang down at the
side or over the 'Catogan."
On the right is another mode, perhaps
even prettier In this fashion the hair is
parted over the head from ear to ear.
as before. The front hair is waved or not
according to taste, and also combel up AMI
fastened at the top of the head A twist is
put on to look like figure 8. 1t can be
helped out with length of false hair if the
natural hair is not thick enough. The back
hair is waved above. The ends are curled
and tied with bow of ribbon in the neck
For dressy toilets this arrangement of the
hair is suitable.
The second Illustration shows on the left
the fashionable figure of 6 coilr;re The
short front hair is curled in wavy locks
The back hair is caught and turned about
upon the head in the manner of the old
fashioned French twist. The ends are then
turned upon the top of the head in the form
OF figure s. The twists should be loose and
hattened, so as not to stick up like knobs.
The hair drawn high, showing the outline of
the head, the tiny curls about the nape Of
the neck, and the loosely curled front locks
make this couture that poet might sing.
BESIDES that. and far more to the point, it is
becoming to almost every woman.
