require an expert to discover that the
perfume was placed there. In 9
crowded ballroom or at formal
reception, with the life and excitement,
nobody but the fair wearer would know
that the beautiful flowers so lavlshly
placed about her dress were not
genuine. The perfume in the flowers
will last long time and each garnl-
ture can be worn on at least tour
different occasions. They set off 3
pretty toilet wonderfully, and woman
Of taste can arrange them so as to make
them very effective. I believe they
have sometimes been used by actresses
on the stage in this country, but none
have ever come here that can approach

The cost of these garnitures, while
small compared with what the price OF
the real flowers would be, is by no
means trifing. They will be sold at
retail for from $40 to $40 each.

New York letter;

This has been week of great mas
querade balls, Notwithstanding that
Lent is supposed to have stopped the
dancing of the town. Two of the
masked affairs were too wicked as to
their people and doings to be affected
by any religious consideration, but the
third and largest was the annual jolli-
tication of the Arion Society, Ger
man organization wing with the Lie
derkranZ in solid membership and a
gorgeous clubhouse. The readers
must not Jump at the conclusion that q
masquerade can yield no valuable mat
ter for fashion article. It is true
that the costumes are largely grotesque,
and altogether picturesque, but the
latter quality is desirable one in the
ordinary dress of women, if not car
ried too far. Nowhere can better sug-
gestions be obtained than from the
fancy dresses of such an occasion, pro-
vided the examples found there are
wisely modified, and adapted to the
quieter purposes of lady's every day
attire. Here is drawing of one of
the rigs which saw at the Arion ball.
It meant nothing in particular. A DASH
ing hat was made principally of big
velvet bow, and which harmonized with
nothing else in the whole outfit than
the velvet bodice. A stimulation Of the
shoulder kerchief of our grandmothers,
queerly and not altogether innocently,
suggested that it was the only cover
ing Of the fair wearer's shoulders and
arms, for it disclosed no sleeves OF
dress waist, and seemed to be very in
securely tucked into the bodice. The
pulled skirts were more like revival
Of the Dolly Warden within than any
thing else. Now, from such hetero-
yeneous mess of costume as that the
,droit reader may easily be able to

pick out something OF other for her
own use.
My next illustration is sketch Of
what I considered the giddiest mas
querader. The Arions do not permit
unskirted-women at their festivities,
but in numerous instances the draper
les were rather brief and decidedly
giddy. The festive creature of this
picture was open to the suspicion Of
being hired for the occasion, because
her sportiveness had high degree Of
professional ability, and it is custom
Of the managers OF these balls to hire
few frisky dancers to incite the null
titude to activity. Her adornment was
exceedingly floral. The flowers were
real and her aspect at midnight when
all these were fresh was very different

ing when they were wilted and bedrag-

talk with swell milliner about it. He
says that artificial but scented flowers
will be used extensively in a man
ner hitherto unknown to our women.
The new custom, which is to be intro
duced this spring, he said, was made
possible by the great improvements
that have been made in the manufac-
ture Of artificial flowers, and that he
was convinced that it would win favor
with the ladies at once. He referred
to grnitures for dresses. "Garnitures
have been popular in European society
for some time" he said, "but they are
new to America. The garniture is q
set of artificial flowers used to trim the
evening toilet. 1t is used almost ex
clusively for full dress. The flowers
are combined in the most artistic man
ner, and great care is evinced to have
the colors harmonic perfectly. There

has conceived two new notions, both of
which are charming. One is the floral
boa, which looks best made in roses,
but which can, of course, be carried
out in any flower the bride may most
fancy. I think the idea most delight
full, and am looking forward to the
beautiful effects to be produced at
forthcoming spring marriages. The
second novelty is very soft, dreamy
velveteen, trimmed with fur, but this,
although pleasing to the eve, can but
be feeting fancy, unless we are to
have an unusually late and cold spring.
Speaking of the floral fever reminds
me that ruches composed of leaves and
flowers are growing more and more in
favor for ball gowns, and, as the season
for che lovely wild flowers and simple
spring blossoms is coming on us, some
of the gowns will be trimmed with
them. A month hence our dinner and
reception rooms will look fresh and
gay with rose, cowslip, violet and daffo-
dil-decked gowns.
At dinner and reception I saw q
young married belle in the sulks. She
had founced herself into chair, and
turned her back on her husband, who
hid his frowning mouth behind his
crush hat, and was angrily red clear
over the bald top of his head.
"I'm sure I've got as fine dress as
anybody here,' 1 heard her poutingly
say;
DOLL" he blurted out.
His criticism was sound, if not ami
able. The young woman wore much
fufiness of white skirt, but her bodice
suggested sheet iron, so stiff were it's
outlines, and SO unyielding it's aspect.
l have pictured it because it is new
thing. It is called the armor waist. It
1t has no sleeves, and over the shout
ders are merely ribbons, tied as though
to hold up the bodice. No woman
could be graceful in it.
Near by sat a willowy girl, and her
escort seemed SO we'll pleased with her
toilet that he held his nose higher than
the top of his head, and affected q
lofty Indifference. Her gown was
fashioned of thin cloth, which took it's
folds from each movement of the
wearer, like the garments of the an
cient Greeks. The fabric in each fold
perfectly adapted itself to the figure,
the draperies having actually mclded
themselves to the form of the wearer.

In the recent national convention of
BARRIERS at Buffalo the question of SUBJ
stituting some other sign for the red
and-white striped barber pole was dis
cussed, and it has been engaging the
attention of gentlemen of the tonsorial
profession ever since. It is said that
in early times BARRIERS served the pub
lie in the capacity of surgeons also.
and that the pole symbolized an arm
wound with ribbon previous to the let
ting of blood. 1t was George II. OF
England who dccreed that henceforth
the trade of the barber should be
foreign to and independent of the prac-
tice of surgery" Despite the fact that
the striped pole is the symbol of blood
letting, it seems to be the opinion of
conservative BARRIERS generally that no
other sign would be so effective.
