In the spring young girls fancy
lightly turns to thoughts Of new clothes,
and the garments which first satisfy her
fresh, seasonable longings are mostly
for home and street wear. The time
Of balls and parties is over for while,
and the costuming for summer has not
yet been planned. She therefore sets
about adjoining herself for less elabo-
rate and yet equally careful appearances
in the house and on the promenade.
Morning gowns for indoors have of late
become more and more artistic. The
old-eashioned wrapper of stereotyped
shape and usual slovenliness no longer
CARDS the persons Of women who keep
up with the modes of the times. Neat
ness and shapeliness have taken the
place of slouchy, formless wraps, that
always suggested slippers down at the
heels and hair still tousled from the bed.
A morning dress of smart design is
illustrated in my first picture. This
may be copied in a great variety of
materials from the soft thin wooden
fabrics that drape and cling with much
aesthetic grace to much cheaper and
still pretty cotton goods. The charac-
