Two years ago to day the first great
snow storm of the season occurred and
the snow did not disappear until late
the following spring. The roads were
blockaded within a few days afterwards
and many persons who were out in the
country on political and other missions
suffered greatly. 1t is within the MEM
DRY of recent corners, however, when
the first storm of any severity was de-
layed until the evening of December 81.
These two storms were on extreme dates
and it is hard to predict when this year s
initial storm will occnr.
This will be sash winter, writes
Mrs. Oscar Wilde. Introduced in ev-
cry way and arranged in every style,
wide ribbons on a robe de visite or a
dinner gown will be sine qua non, and,
if judiciously employed in this form of
trimming, can be made such stylish
addition to dress that fashions for the
next few should be extra pretty. Vel
vet ribbons for the purpose are being
manufactured in the most elaborate de-
signs and the richest stuffs, some of the
most effective being those with an ara
besque or lowered satin pattern upon a
velvet ground. AS vet, they are only
made in the best materials, and though,
of course, as the season advances, they
will be copied in cheaper style, those
who utilize them for their late autumn
or early winter gowns can rest happy In
the assurance that they will be wearing
something both pretty and new.
