ELEGANT AND FANTASTIC.

The new parasols are odd, elegant,
simple, fantastic, large, and small, TO
suit individual taste. The most expen-
sive are known as the Princesse of
Wales parasols, and are made of the
richest Lyons satin, both plain and bro
caded, white or delicately tinted, and
edged with lace, in the most lovely
thread-patterns, some of which is eight
and ten inches deep. The Vatican para
soils are of white or cream silk, lined
with pink or blue surah, and brocaded
with carnations, roscbuds, geranium
blossoms, blue bells, and the like. The
MorOsque or Mikado parasOls have the
canopy tops, with ribs .curving outward
at the point, and coaching styles are
made of satin striped with velvet, the
stripes running both up and down, and
across the circumference of the parasOl,
thus making network of stripes, and
producing rich cOmmingling of hand
some colOrs. Plain satin coaching para
soils are covered with lace canvas or
etamine fabrics in red, blue, golden
brown, beige. olive, and fawn color, and
fOulard parasols in ecrul. dove color,
and other neutrals in monochrome, are
made gay with effective borderings en-
bossed in Persian designs and colorings.
White foulard parasols, pOlka-dotted or
otherwise figured, are lace-trimmed and
lined with color matched to the figure.
Black satin parasols are brought out
lowered or striped with jet embroidery.
In sun umbrellas, red, marine blue, and
olive are very popular, and from Paris
come red satin and dark-grecn rain UNI
brellas warranted water proof.-N y,

HIRING CHORUS GIRLS.

Nearly all the hiring of chorus-girls
in New York, writes a correspondent of
the Utica Observer, is done in an Office
in Broadway. near Thirty-iirst street,
by an operator who has for years had Il
monopoly in that branch of the business.
A stairway ut No. | ,267 leads up to the
two rooms occupied by the curious bust
ness. The first apartment has the
common aspect of an Office, with desks
behind brass railing. The boss of the
concern is Ed Rice, noted in the bur-
lcsque line. The assistants are his
brother, Charley Rice; BERTHE Jarrett,
son of "Black Crook" Jarrett, and
therefore familiar since boyhood with
the ballet business; Johnnie Campbell,
son of BARLEY Campbell, and Actor
Tarr, the practical trainer of the
novices. The applications are so nu-
merous that the corps is kept busy.
The candidates are various. Some are
from the working-girls class, more are
from the ranks of the professionally
vicious, but the ma jority are young
women who have had something of a
schooling i'm vocalism. The old hands
out of job SO swell the throng that the
premises are usually full of walters for
interviews. These are accorded by Ed
Rice, personally, in the second or inner
of the two rooms. A bright maiden,
sent in to report her experience in pre-
tending to seek an engagement, says
that the room contained two desks,
several chairs, sideboard, and an up
right piano. Rice received her with
busincss-like briskncss.
..Lct me hear you sing" he said.
taking his seat at the piano; "select
anything You please. ! only want to
hear your voice"
She complied. He told her that she
would do, and that if she desired to be-
gin ut So Il week on trial she might do
SO. She saw no improperly. Rice re-
qucsted her, nj the outset, to lay aside
her cloak. and that was manifcStly done
in order that he could see what sort OF
figure she would cut; but there was
no intimation of further examination.
The employees of the Office say that a
girl must possess fairly strong claim
TO good looks TO start with, Il bright,
pretty face being positively requisite.
This quality spossesscd by thrce-fourths
of ali the applicants. Many are re-
jected nj the very threshold because they
are too tall or too short. A little above
the medium height is the desired stature.
An erect, wcll-proportioncd form is also
essential, and glance reveals whether
it is or isn't possessed. With average
regularity of shape the rest can easily be
done by artiiice. If, then, the novice
has pleasing shape and promising
figure. the all-important test of her voice
is made, and here she probably fails;
but if she succeeds sho is turned right
over to Tarr. who has her costumed,
padded, and drilled for use. The con.
clusion reached by thorough inquiry is
that in the engagement OF these chorus
girls no indccencieS are pcrpetrated.
But they are not compelled To pass any
examination as TO morals, and the man
agement of no company in New York
city undertakes the slightest discipline
outside the stage door.

Electric Railways.

An important feature of electric rail-
ways will be the use of their power for
many minor purposes. Not the least
valuable is the lighting of the cars by
electricity. There is no need to dwell
on the imperfections of the present sys-
TEN of lighting raiiway-cars. In few
drawing-room and sleeping cars the
electric light has been tried with sue
cess only moderate, and dynamos stop
when the train stops. Accumulators are
necessarily bulky, and, though some
progress in their use has been made
abroad, little or nothing has been done
with them here. In an electric rail
way the use of the power necessary for
making the cars almost rs light as day
will hardly be noticed ut the central
station. Electric headlights are COM
ing into use; the advantages will be
gained ut less cost on electric railways.
The possibility of heating cars by cleo
tricity has been discussed, but nothing
has yet been accomplished toward max
ing the cost any where nearly as cheap
as coal. IL is probable, however, that
there will be great advance in this di-
rcction. When we have electric heat
ing apparatus, the danger from fire in
case of accident, already greatly reduced
by the use of electric light and irclcss
locomotive, will be ut a minimum.
Already the beginning has been made.
The infant art is taking its first steps
short, weak, lettering to be sure, YET
full of promise of the growth To come.
Will the public stretch out helping
hand? Will the public nourish the child.
not for what it is, but for what it may
be in future years? The steam rail
way had II harder fight to make than
the electric railway has SO far had. by
its own merit it triumphcd at last. The
child survived, and now as man is do
ing a good share of the work of the
world. Another child promises in time
to come to do that work better. Shall
we not give il II speedy chance to fulfill
the promiscs?-Luce on Electric Rail.

SEASONABLE FANCIES.
Among the novelties in embroidery
are ilouncings forty-five inches deep in
fine cambric and nansook, with mar
row band of Hamburg across the bot
tom and a trimming width ut the upper
edge. They are called apron widths,
and will be used for plain skirts, for
nurses fine aprons, and for the many
uses to which such goods can be adapt
cd. An exquisite material is composed
of stripes of satccn vicing with satin i'm
beauty, divided by stripes of white en-
broidery; this could be made in COM
bination, with the solid embroidery for
an underskiIt.
The new wooden materials for the
season are highly to be commended for
their beauty. Wooden Examines are
largely represented. but they are infinite
ly superior to the regular square net
work of wooden threads SO fashionable
last year. The novelty of the season is
II fancy etamine. rs light rs gosSamer,
formed by the crossing and recrossing
of thousands of minute wooden threads,
producing lovely web-like fabric,
which Grapes most beautifully. This
ctaminc, called emphalicaliy the new
canvas, is striped and chcckcrcd with
plush lines of the most lovely colors, the
ground being dark iiccllc color, which
is very fashionable. II is also striped
horizontally with rich, wide terry stripes
in delicate aesthetic colors, combined rs
French manufacturers alone know how
to combine shades.
Here let il be remarked that distinct
feature of the new wooden fabrics is that
they are striped horizontally instead of
vertically. and that Us Il rule the stripes
are mt least i'm two colOrs. The plush
stripes are in many widths, generally in
two colors, both differing from the
ground. Thus on fawn, ficelle, or wood
etamine the stripes will be moss and
seal brown, bronze and terra Gotta; etc.
There is also very novel variety OF
canvas used for skirts only. 1t is darn
ed with wooden threads horizontally,
giving the effect of rows of Russian
braid. Five rows of different widths,
diminishing i'm size upward, edge the
skirt. or one single broad band of darn
ing, looking like Russian braid some
ten or twelve inches wide. Plain mater
ial is used for tunic and corsage.
One thing is certain. that the long
and cxtra-pointed shoe is much less
worn than it was Il short time ago.
None but foot doctors will regret this,
for such Il shaped shoe obliges its wear
er to conceal ut least one toe under its
neighbor, which is source of exquisite
suffering and misery TO the vOtary OF
fashion infatuated 10 the degree of en-.
during such torture for the sole purpose
of being a la mode. Fashion is in /;
certain degree following the English
lead and giving up high Eecls; in fact
ladies are now beginning TO resume the
erect attitude that nature designed fol
women as well us for men, instead OF
being apparently on the point OF drop,
ping on all urs.-GOdcy for May.
