man as she looks. That most aston
lshing change may be wrought in wo-
man % appearance by q becoming bonnet
has often been asserted, but never more
conTincingly proved than at the hour
am writing. A gentlemen acquaintance
of mine, remarkable rather for his ad-
miration of our sex than for the partieu-
lar woman whom fate had decreed should
walk beside him through life, returned
home the other evening. Madam hap
pened to be trying on a new Easter bon
net, and as he passed tbs door he looked
in, halted, took another look and then
bounded up stairs. Pretty soon madam
made her appearance.
''Who's that calling on you, my
dear?'' he asked. ''DeucedIy stunning
looking woman!'
''Oh! that was only your poor old
wife with her new Easter bonnet oni'
Slow curtain with low music from the
nursery.
Now that touch on the intImacies Of
married life, let me tell you of a dainty
little novelty called the Recamier corset
cover. You take about three yards of
surah, with the selvage edge at the bot
tom; no seams except on the shoulders;
around the top and down the front an
insertion OF valencienne, separated by
a strip of the surah embroidered with
English point. Fourreau skirts are TO
be cut quite as clInging TO the igure,
with little more fulness towards the
bottom and will be trimmed with frou-
frou of lace or small fIounces. Corsages
will open upon vests, beneath which
white guipure chemisette will be visible.
The remaining sketch gives very good
idea of lovely jacket dainty enough TO
satisfy the most fastidious. 1t is made
OF green velvet, bordered with full

pleatings of sky blue crepe. The front
is of black silk gauze with rows of black
beads to give chic. The white hat. Louis
XIV. shape, is what a French woman
would call "tres pschutt. - Clusters of
roses are the only ornaments it has or in
fact needs, for to overload it with trim
ming would be to rob it of its character
istic daintiness. There is rumor which
may be traced to a trustworthy source
that the corssge russo will be favorite
this season, with very full sleeves and
long cuffs.
To an observer of fashions at the end
OF March in any Northern CITY nothing
can be more ridiculous than the conduct
Of women at the present moment with
regard to outdoor wraps. We have re-
Gently had period of particularly cold
weather, when one might have supposed
the female form divine would have been
wrapped in the warmest and cosiest of
garments procurable. But not so. In
fuenza may stalk through the land and
bronchitis prevail, but fashion cannot be
tritied with or pride smothered, and as
the one has decreed that s'Ieg-ot-
mutton sleeves and shoulder excres-
cenoes are to be the order of the day,
and the other revolts at the idea of hid

wonder if shall have a new bonnet for
next Sun layl' It was q catch-as- catch
can between devotions and fashions, and
the prayers always went down with
Easter novelties on top. That was dread
fully wicked I suppose. But is it diff
ferent now? 1t does seem as if the men
were right, there is always a woman, or
some article of woman g toggery in the
case. Poor Desdamona. Nothing but q
handkerchief! Now if Cassie had given
her $50 Easter bonnet there might have
been some cause for the row kicked up
by the Moor.
Speaking of Easter, let me direct your
attention, dear sister, to the initial cut.
Imagine a Queenly figure rising, not
from the sea, but from a seat on divsn,
clad in a mauve "cendre' veloutine
with train, having embroidered effects en-
tablier, with thick silk cordine. The
train OF the same material opens on each
side over a velvet underskirt, shade or
two darker thaa the silk. The upper
sleeve is pleated in one large and one
small puff from the shoulders. The

A vegetable is the complete,
Which most folks think quite good to eat;
Take off its head and there appears
A drink which English heart oft cheers;
1t being malt, not spirituous,
Your Englishman thinks that the fuss
The temperance workers make at it
Is neither proper, right nor fit;
But total abstinence | call
The only safe way, after all.

All was confusion and despair
Financial ruin everywhere;
When came the 1UhoEe so unsurpassed,
There seemed a general lack of last.

But was more inclined for fiery feats.
