STATIONERY AND CARDS.

The ragged edge stationery is the latest
horror, and very suggestive Of the nibbling
mousers teeth. but oil tie same it is much
used by people who ought to know better.
just as we are beginning to learn to use
our seals with dexteriiy the fashion writer's
tell us TO put them by Many people still
cling to their sesls, however, and will con-
tinue to do 80.
Bright yellow Ct the jouquil shade is at
present quite fashionable in NeE York sta.
tionery.
The question was asked the other day
whether the visitors card should be sent in
to the hostess on the occasion Of an after
noon tea Yes; the card should be handed
to the servant at the door, unless the guest
is directed to walk into the drswing.room
OF once. 1t is never etiquette to send the
name verbally by servant UPON making
formal visit OF any kind.

MODES FOR CHILDREN.

Fine coriuroys are to be used for stylish
and attractive spring suits for children,
New shades are shown in corduroy, such
as olive green plum color red and hlue in
combination and some verw beautiful
browns
Chudder or herring bone camels hair
cloth is used for cloaks ard outer wraps
for little babies aud children. As it is
more durable than cashmere Ii has become
more popular.
Woolel lace in cream color is much
used for trimming bsb:e,' closks aud hoods.
A French fashion, which has found its
way into this country is that OF having
childrens hair cut short, or cropped "
The theory that such treatment helps the

MILLINERY IN FAVOR.

Three cornered jets are used in great
profusion on all the latest Paris millinery
Shere is scarcely any change in, the mat
ter of coitfure % the shapes in bonnet,
and hats are essentially the same. A bunch
of small curls at the back OF the neck il
q new addition.
The present exhibits show some most
admirable effects in wide-brimmed hats Of
the Gainsborogh style. Some of them are
covered with jersey cloth, some with lace
and few with velvet, and long plumes are
revived to trim them.
The military pompon still holds its own
and continues to nod above the heads OF
the young ladies of the period but as it is
only appropriate on the turbsn shape Of
hat its reign is probably limited to this
spring,
jersey hsts are shown again in spring
millinery, but it does not seem possible
that such an anomaly as the jersey hat can
possibly be popular when there are so many
other styles at once stylish and elegant.
