NEW STYLE OF ADAPTABLE JACKET
while the crown is covered with very
fine net, lace, or grenadine, or tinsel, or
some other thin material intermingled
with flowers and ribbons Of the gauzy
fashion once old, but now revived.
Some of the most beautiful flowers OF
the season are made of velvet, and it is
not possible 10 tell how beautiful they
are. Poppies, primroses, Jack roses,
purple morning glories and passion flow
ers are all made Of velvet, as are also
many other kinds, and it is almost i'm
possible to distinguish them from the
real flowers. The velvet flowers are for
the finest bonnets, and the field flowers
/ for childrens wear and for the more or
binary hats.
There are also many very beautiful
bonnets made OF foliage only, like the
shaded rose or geranium leaves. Others
are made of purple and white violets
+ only, and others of lilacs.
Lace of all kinds, from tulle ID the
most expensive point, is seen on the bon
nets, and many OF them have strings
made Of it. Some OF the evening bon.
nets have streamers Of tulle In the back
which have an inch wide hem all around
and AT the edge of this hem is sewn a
very narrow satin ribbon.
The handsonest wide brimmed hats
have masses of long pile ostrich feathers,
some Of the plumes being very long and
laid on the crown in the form of a
wreath, and a tuft Of shorter plumes
being fastened high Oh the left side.
noticed some very beautiful feather flow
ers. Some were tiger lilies in the nat
ural colors of both feather and flower,
and they were wonderfully perfect.
The newest and prettiest fancies in
trimmings are the sabesque patterns
thought in silk and tinsel on a fouDda-
ton .. stout material, and all the I'M
worked spaces are cut out, leaving it
like an applique. This same style is fol-
lowed out in soft cotton thread and gilt
tinsel on cotton material and is used to
trim fine gowns, and il is very expensive,
costing sometimes up to $40 per yard.
Others again are worked on fine kid and
chamois richly wrought. There are also
chenille fringes and galloons for wraps,
and others in Light colors for handsome
evening costumes, each strand of the
fringe having three or four wax pearl
heads at the bottom.
Besides all these, there are laces with
traceries in colored flosses and iridescent
beads, and no end OF varieties of crochet.
The old style Of rings covered with black
silk crochet work, and these Joined to-
gether and finally finished with fringe
has been revived, and one or two of the
most extravagant wraps of the season
are nearly covered with this work. Vel

TILE FACTS ABOUT ULSTER COUNTY.


TO the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir; Ulster County IS being charged with larger
share Of benlghted heathenism Of late than justly
belongs to her, and tho people are inclined to resent
the false imputatons The paragraph in the Church
Poch' column Of Tho Tribune yesterday was widely
read here, and with some surprise that tho writer
should base his remarks upon article In /" The
Churchman,' which has been corrected and contra
dleted repeatedly In tho local press by those who
know the facts The Rev. DR.. Rainsford. the EpIs-
copal clergyman who wrote The Churchman" article,
seems to have been bent a graphic sensation and
to have allowed his imagination TO run on regardless
Of Tho facts. Much surprise is expressed that rep
utabo religious newspaper should have printed such
a story without full knowledge OF the facts; and
The papers influence for good in this community has
not been increased by such indscretion
That there is room for missionary work along cer'
tain sections Of the Delaware and Hudson Canal,
alluded TO by the clerical writer in question Is quito
true; and the same may DO said Of other sections
In every county Of this state. But that anything
liko the vile and mserably uncvilIzed condition de-
piced by him exists there is entirely untrue and
nDellous And these people afe not overlooked by
The churches as Tho Tribune writer infers. man
who has travelled over nearly every foot Of Ulster
Tor years past In missionary work tolls very different
story. Churches and Sunday are within easy
reach OF these people II. II.
