SILKS FOR THE SEASON.
Ha ndsome and Fashionable Fabrics for
Spring Costumes.

Ha ndsome and Fashionable Fabrics for
Spring Costumes.
The fancy for corded effect in silk,
iudiciously fostered by the introduction
of the handsome faille Franchise, has
grown by what it fed on, and with the
increasing demand for silks of heavy
rep-fnish, manufacturers have bestirred
themselves to supply novelty, season
after season.
The leading silks, therefore, are now
to be found almost exclusively in inn
ported goods. AS an experienced silk
buyer says: Thirty years ago when
was looking for novelties, l went to
Lyons; and to-day | go to Lyons for
novelties The bengalines, benga-
lines de sole, and veloutines. which
are characterized by one, two and three
cords respectively, are importations.
Bengaline is one of the seasons favor
ties, and in all the popular colors COM
bines SO richly with the elegant cloths
and velvets, for street wear, that it is
not surprising it should have so pleased
the taste of fastidious shoppers
If something more expensive and
llIlcI ID uCSll dDiC, CliC DCbS tliAiC StC oOiC,
a handsome reppee fabric having an al
ternate fine and heavy cross-wise cord,
and all-silk, is to be selected; and the
richest and heaviest Of corded silk is the
veloutinc, with one heavy and two fine
cords alternating.
In figured silks, the taffetas, brocaded
with neat, small flowers, tastefully ar
ranged in somewhat formal stripes, re-
call the "best'' dresses of our grand
mothers. Printed silks are exquisitely
lovely both in color and design. The
unique, the monstrous, is no longer de-
sirable: prettiness, neatness, elegance
are what is called for, and what is
called for is always to be had. There
are some snowy plaid silks, but
these are only for combinations, or sep
arate skirts to wear with fancy blouse
waists; in the main, the patterns of both
brocades and printed silks are attract
| lively modest in design, whether repre-
senting floral or geome trio figures
| In black-and-white silks, always a
preferred dress for matrons of GER
tain age, the geometric designs are most
| often seen; but the brocades are usual
| " in natural colors arranged in small
bouquets on whatever the color of the
| silk or satin may be.
Striped silks are usually in alternate
| stripes of different finish as well as
color; thus we have satin-striped ben
galines and failles and grenadines,
which are likely to be very much worn
during the summer, and lace-striped
surahs, which are lovely for house wear,
having stripes of drawn-work forming
a lace-lite insertion of lengthwise
stripes. Magazine.

THE United States authorities have
started in to enforce the immigration
law with vigor and intelligence. Own
ers of steamers which have carried over
passengers Of the prohibited class are to
be given the penalties which the law
provides. This is the wise course, and,
in fact, the only one which would be
tolerated by the country in its present
frame of mind The people are asking
for drastic legislation in this matter,
and aHg1d enforcement of the new law
IS demanded so that an exact knowl-
edge OF its capabilities may be gained.

CHARLES E. KINCAID has been acquit-
ted by Washington jury of the charge
of having willfully murdered ex-Con-
greSsman Taulbee, but this should
scarcely make a hero of him. He low
cred the dignity of his calling as a
newspaper correspondent by first at
tacking his victim in a tender spot
through the press in revenge for the
atter's failure to get him an office, and
when Taulbee chastised him fired the
fatal shot Technically, perhaps, he
acted in self-defense, morally, however,
he was the aggressor, and must bear the
odium of having a fellow-man' blood
