NEW YORK FASHIONS.
Beautiful New Fabrics-The supper Jacket
"A New Perfume.

Among the great variety of beautiful
fabrics that are now crowding the mar
ket are Corah silks in two shades of one
color, or in contrasting tints. On one
shot foundation of gold and reseda is
fine design in brocade in beautifully
shaded tints of roses. On dinner gown
is design showing a delicate gold
ground with clusters of shaded narcis-
sus, with odd leaves surrounding these
of dark terra-cotta velvet. The gown is
in Directoire style, with trimmings of
terra-cotta velvet i'll vandyke points.
The supper jacket is the last name
for those nonedescript and fantastic lit
tie bodices that are everywhere so pop
ular. The chief aims to be kept in view
with regard to those jackets are, that
they should be in themselves very be-
coming and so arranged in color as to be
wearable with any sort of skirt. They
are also adaptable garments, for they
appear at the theatre, opera, at dressy
dinner parties, and in boudoirs and re-
ception-rooms. There is no doubt about
the beauty of some of the expensive
models created in Paris. The shape of
one, for example, is perfect for those
who can wear the high Medici collar,
AMI Took we'll in blouse vest. This Is
made of cream-colored velvet, tight-fit-
ting in the back, and open in front with
crossing of the velvet, diagonally be-
low the chest. The jacket shows no
fasUenings. 1t is braided in gold, and
the high collar is gold, others have gold
passementerie bands.
Lilac-blossom is the name of a new
French perfume. The odor of the
blossom is so perfectly reproduced that
one imagines spray of lilac is some-
where near. Like pond-lily and fragi-
PAM, this perfume is densely sweet and
therefore is not agreeable to everybody.
The color of the perfume is a faint
lilac and the pretty little bottles are
tied up with lilac ribbon.
Spring cheviots and camels-hair
serges of every description, plain,
striped, plaided, and bordered, and
beautiful fancy wooden fabrics in end
less variety may now be seen in all the
leading shops, in color-schemes and
combinations never before introduced.
Tailor.gowns made of these stylish fab
RIGS can be worn until July at least with
perfect comfort, and it is still indis-
pensable that these should be made in
great simplicity, as figured wooden ma
terials require but little draping or
adornment. Stripes of lustrous Bengal
line silk are woven in beige, dove-gray,
auburn-brown and pine-green wollens.
There are also velvet pompadour and
effective broch0 stripes.-N. Y. Post.

MY .GRANDMOTHER'S FAN.

1t owned not the color that vanity dons
Or slender. wits choose for display; -
Its beautiful tint was a delicate bronze.
A brown softly blended with gray,
From her waist to her chin, spreading out with.
out break.
Twas built on generous plan;
The pride of the forest was slaughtered to make
Ny grandmother's turkey tail fan.
For common occasions it never was meant;
In a chest between two silken cloths
twas kept safely hidden with careful intent
In camphor to keep out the moths.
Twas famed far and wide through the whole
countryside.
From Beersheba cen unto Dan;
And often at meeting with envy twas eyed,
Ny grandmother's turkey-tail fat.
Camp meetings, indeed, were its chiefest de
g. light.
Like crook unto sheep gone astray
1t beckoned backsiders to re-seek the right,
And exhorted the sinners to pray.
1t always beat time when the choir went wrong,
In psalmody leading the van.
Old Hundred, know, was its favorite song
My grandmother's turkey-tail fan.
A fig for the fans that are made nowadays,
Suited only to frivolous mirth
A different thing was the fan that praise
Yetit scorned not The good things Of earth.
At bees and at cuttings twas aye to be seen;
The best of the gossip began
When in at the doorway had entered serene
My grandmother's turkey-tail fan.
Tradition relates of it wonderful tales,
Its handle OF leather was bun.
Though shorn Of its glory, cen now it exhales
An odor OF hymn books and snuf.
Its primeval grace, if you like, you can trace
Twas Emned for the future to scan,
T1tcf1 n live cold 1n1 f,oa
My grandmothers turkey.tail fan.
