FASHIONS FOR EASTER.
Full knowledge of What is to Be
Worn and to Be
Seen.
Toilets Noted as an Observer
Walks in the Light of
Spring.
Coats, Hats and Dresses That Brightly
Shine With Silver and CLEAN
With Pure Gold.

Especial Correspondence of The INDEPENDENT.
New YORK, March 25.-Easter is here and
full knowledge is upon us as to what we
are to wear and to see Worn. In the light
of breaking spring we walk in the simmer
of silver and the shine of gold. A soft
luminous white grey seems to be the back
ground for the world of clothes, and
against it twinkle and flash jewels. Red
gold is worn upon grey and green gold is
brilliant. Clear yellow gold brings to bear
upon it the light and the radiance of sun
shine. Women wear gray wool with jon
Quils on the street, in the house they put on
grey silk with clasps of topaz.
There are years when fashion runs to
color and other years when fashion runs to
form. This year form is aliRht and aglow
with color, and the result is interesting to
look on. Here is a visits in gray cloth and
lace that will explain to you what 1 mean.
Look at the sleeves of it, long, dropping and
SO full that they are folded at the back and
hung with frills and cascades of Velasquez
lace most Enthusiastically. Lace is cascaded in
the middle of the back with a reminiscent
of Vatican. Look at the shoulders of it,
and then consider that it's color is silver,
and that though the black lace quiets it, is
stirred and wakened again with the fash
of gold passementeries and galloons.
With it is worn a hat in grey straw with
trimmings of buttercups and black velvet
ribbons.

gold beads. The bonnet is such a bonnet
as we have not seen in years, 1t is made
of gold tinsel glittering with cut jet, and
it has a crown that tapers upward and is
shaped like a cone. 1t is a high crown,
totally at variance with crowns that have
gone before. 1t reminds n a
little of the pointed headdresses in the
old volumes of Planchet. They say these
crowns are to be the fashion, and this may
be a scout sent to look the ground over for
next year. From the summit of it wave
pale gray blue ostrich tips standing straight
in air. There is a ruche at the 9 'ge of gray
blue silk net and gold tinsel. Such shapes
and such colors make the season interest
ing, but there is a little difficulty when one
approaches the question of choosing some
thing to wear.
It is not a hard task to pick out things
notable seen at the openings. A hat in
pink and black further illustrates spring
tendencies. A huge rosette in pink crepe is
its only substantial portion. The crepe is
crimped closely, and about half the ~rosette,
its core or inner circle or petals, stands
erect III the very middle of the crown like a
cockade. The outer circles or petals lie
fiat n are themselves the hat, or all there
is of it, save and except a gathered ruche

it for a brim. At the back this lace turns
up abruptly and stands in a fan or flare.
The woman who assumes such Il piece of
~headgear should be able to live up to 1t
with a good deal of piquancy.
A capote in black jet is in some of its
features equally unusual. 1t has a round.
caplike shape, fitting close to the head. and
it's frame is of Jet strung wires in lace-like
openness and intricacy. About the face
droop in scallops f~estoons of cut jet braid or
jewels. like the bead strings of al Egyptian
slave girls head dress. as you see her pic
tured IN some of Alma Tadema's paintings.
The jewels tinkle against the forehead, they
come down over the emples and the cheeks,
and they partially cover the ears. They sup
ply the motif of the bonnet, and it has no
other trimming but a knot OF lace, giving a
mist-like film above the hair.
Some of the most carefully considered
millinery trit1les are hats for dress concerts
and for matinees. One of these, bought a
few days ago for a young girl whom Mrs.
Whitney has had staying with her, was a
tulle cap of the new tulle that appears as if
sprinkled with gold. The frame of this hat
as of all hats of its kindred, was a wire strap
a little more than an inch wide. Over this
for a crown was twisted several times double
the jewel sparkling tulle. About it was
banded an embroidery worked i'll jewels and
gold. In the folds of a tulle puff at the
back was lrisoned II butterfly.
Rather more after the usual order of
spring millinery offerings are pretty toques
in black lace and jet with either flowers or
feathers for trimmings. Even these are not
always devoid of eccentiicity, or shall one
| say originality? When u woman-if you'll
regard it as confidential, I'll tell You 1t was
/, even |, ~myself-asked yesterday morning
for something "quiet," the milliner brought
out n bonnet that might be considered for
purposes of description in three sections.
To tit about the face there was a band of ivy
leaves in jet. Behind this and roughly

tillet of roses without foliage. The two
fillets of jet and of flowers were wholly sep
arate, except as twists of ivy leaves Joined
them behind. Laid fiat upon the rose
wreath and filling the circle it inclosed was
a scrap of black lace of beautiful pattern.
gestion, it was II of the most charming
bits l have seen this spring; but for the
genuine hush of real millinery quietude
there isn't much use looking.
Mrs. Cleveland was on Broadway for a
few minutes this morning in a toque that
one might be pardoned for looking ut a
second time. 1t was a rough black straw,
with trimmings of ribbon loop and single.
long-stemmed rose with two or three leaves
standing nearly erect behind. This use of
a single flower for garniture. much as one
carries one jonquil in ones hand, n or
child at ones bosom or one violet between
ones lips, is something characteristic of
the season.
The spring frock has a v cry long pointed
waist and sometimes it has a straight skirt
and sometimes it has paniers. 1t has a
queer fashion Of letting broad frills of lace
turn down in a straight line about it's Shout
ders, even upon high-necked gowns. This
fashion is a "reminiscences of the days when
the beauty of the curve was hardly thought
of; when yews, box hedges. dresses and gar
den beds were all characterized by the same
angularity. No woman with any feeling for
grace of line would 30 spoil her figure.
Jewel work, tinsel and embroidery are used
with great profusion and elaborateness on
draperies. An afternoon gown of faint rose
pink surah viii. stand excellently we'll for an
example. On the back, the shirt hangs in
shawl folds, plated OF the right side. The
left is slashed to the waist and laced across
with narrow rose ribbons tied in bow knots
with ends. The front of the skirt is braid
ed in a decided more rose hue, drawn to one
eide ord hold UYfh a hnyu In tho M ochau ~
the braid are set at intervals gold beads
and pink pearls. The corsage is pointed,
and from the shoulder to the waist run rose
ribbons. Between the ribbons the bodice is
covered with intricately wrought, ieweled
lraiding. With this frock is to be worn a
wide fiat hat of lace straw faced with rose
pink and trimmed with gold sprinkled tulle
/ and pink plumes. A Cleopatra veil covers
the face and it's ribbons are drawn beneath
the chin.
On the street are seen many "smart''
tailor costumes. A tall girl was out this
morning with long twigs of pussy will
low thrust into her buttonholes. Her close
fitting coat of smooth gray cloth was of the
three-quarter length, and was braided up
and down the IRON with huge punches OF
violets tied with bow knots of gold. The
violet embroidery was continued about the
high Medici collar and half way up and
down the sleeves. Her Dress was OF
rougher gray cloth, and her turban of gray
straw with violets and gold ribbons.
Another notable figure on the promenade
was a slim blonde, English enough to wall

double breasted and with daintily stitched
revers, fitting exquisitely to the figure. A
high, standing collar, gray silk necktie n
gray straw hat with a dandelion or two conn
pleted the outfit of this very correct young
IN
black lambs vol, lined with apricot silk and
richly braided. None of these garments
were very high on the shoulders, for your
true tailor cut is conservative. When with
spring hats and spring coats and spring
dresses the spring sun gets high enough to
spring parasols, then indeed will there be
chances for observation. ELLEN OSBORNE.
