oCEANUS HYEMALIS.

The waves that now, with sullen roar,
Break upon this lonely shore,
Fill my heart with sadness,
Thinking of the giadness
That seems gone for evermore;
Thinking OF the laughter gay
OF the children, blithe as May,
Whose rosy feet were giancing
Der the wet sand dancing,
To meet the gentle ripplet'S play.
Sad and silent are the sands:
Where the merry groups joined hands.
Naught is heard except the moaning
As of fettered spirits groaning,
Bound by winters icy bands
Yet though. beneath this sky OF lead.
Joy seems crushed and well-nigh dead,
And the spirit weary,
DesOlate and drtary,
Feels as il all hope were fed;
over this tempestuOus main
Summer suns will shine again,
Children's happy voices singing,
Ger the laughing ocean ringing,
Bring peace to weary heart and bratu.

These plain skirts actually demand a
change in dress from the old time petticoat
and underskirt, the fulness of these gar
ments being such as to seriously affect the
hang of plain skirt and to cause an awk-
ward appearance around the knees. Then,
too, the petticoas cannot be quite as long as
a sweeping plain skirt and, consequently,
the place where it leaves off is disagree

The most elegant and expensive divided
skirts are very long, coming almost TO the
ankle and are rather tight. They cost up

convenient, being difficult to lift out of the

costing only quarter as much, is made of
heavy linen or even poplin. These are sat-

New YORK, Jan. %, 1S91.-[Special cor
respondence of The HERALD. = "What
shall l bring you?" asked bonny lad who
was starting on his Wanderjalsre, of the
aunt who had opened her purse strings and
in whose eyes he was especially anxious to
stand well.
From every town where you see fair
face or hear a pleasant tale, bring me-a
spoon''
vi the woman who has not yet been Bit
ten with the spoon collecting mania you
can safely say that-she will be soon. The
sex which has Its hands in dishwater eleven
hundred times year cherishes, in spite of
this Disseminating fact, most tender in
terest in table silver. 1t cannot be the
most comfortable mode of entrance on this
protoplastic sphere to be born with a spoon
even of the most precious metal in ones
mouth; but where is the she who does not
yearn, after serenely settling herself in her
own particular circle on this most mighty
globe to lift to her lips, not always Tor
strictly practical purposes, that bit of silver
bent and marked with tooth prints with
which Baby Dickie ate and pounded his
way through the toddling period of his ex-
istence, or whose other memertoes, thin
and light and worn almost to the oblitera-

whipping up ones horses to visit out-of
the-way foreign towns where curious old
shapes, short in the handle and notched to
rest on the side of a dish, are still to be
looked for. The days are gone when we
valued ''sets'' of six or twelve of pattern,

horn spoons in a bunch, as the instruments
meetest TO eat furmenty porage withal."
Short of such a delightful happening har-
lequins are the only spoons that are now
deemed interesting.

Latest advices insist that all boas shall be
feat, somewhat broad and very long, reach
ing to the hem of the skirt. A fashionable
boa OF that description is in black Angora
A high collar of the same material is fas-
tened to the boa and surrounds the neck
The front is fastened with silver clasp
The effect is something like cane with long
fronts falling loosely to the bottom of the
skirt.
A cape in seal and astrakan is new. be-
cause it combines the high, straight collar
with large Medici one which can be turned
up or down at pleasure. A toque in seal
and astrakan and a cairugorum breach
ornament accompanies this, and there is
also seal mutf with astrakan gauntlets
fastened to the ends.
This very convenient arrangement pro-
tects the wrists and keeps the hands warm
inside the muff.
A charmingly becoming carriage cloak
came out last week. 1t was of black silk
brocaded in crimson. 1t was lined throu GIL
out with fine white Mongolia fur and an i'm
mense boa Of the same decorated the neck
and front of the cloak. Deep cuffs set off
the sleeves.
The young woman who goes in for tailor
made effects wears over her plain tailor
made gown seal jacket, Louis XIV. shape,
tight fitting, long in the skirt, long wasted
with high pulled sleeves and Medici collar.
Well back upon her head is set big beaver
hat with long ostrich plumes. Sealskin
gauntlets with fine kid palms, a sealskin
muff, adorned with punches of ostrich
plumes, and deep, convenient pockets go
with this jaunty, stylish attire.
Fur toques are greatly worn. In all
cases they are combination affairs, feathers
and fur, seal and beaver, astrakan and seal,
or plush and fur. A becoming seal fur hat
had broad band of otter fur around it,
The other stood up like brim of turban
and was much higher in the front than in
the hack Another seal hat was turban
shaped and was trimmed with sable fur all
around the crown.

Everything that can be done to heighten
the charm of the tea gown is now devised
by the modiste who understands her bust
ness. AT an afternoon tea young matron
appeared in an exquisite gown designed by
an American artist, and execute upon our
own silk looms 1t was gold color in hue
with suspicion of orange flashes darling
across it. Pink figures were family out
lined on the surface, blending with the
background in an indistinct wavy mass of
color.
The waist was half confined by girdle
which consisted of a number of miniatures
painted on porcelain and set with gold and
moonstones. The likenesses were those of
celebrated people whom she had known and
who, as special token of their friendship,
haG had the paintings executed. Around
the neck OF the gown went three chains of
gold. beautifully cut, and from the centre,
hung an immense diamond that reflected
the tlnts OF the gown and Of the girdle.
Inc rage Tor gathered and pulled sleeves
is SO great that they have even invaded the
precincts OF the decollete gown. This
seems almost impossible, vet it is managed
and In such cunning way as to defy detec-
ZION II really Well done. A gown is made
low necked and sleeveless. Over the
shoulders is fastened a tight fitting silkeu
strap and on this strap is gathered a full,
long sleeve which extends to the waist and
10 oAClo RdtuSreu III upon band. AT first
sight, one is startled to see the high puffs
standing securely upon the bare shoulders
and only the long graceful sweep of the
sleeves frees one from the uncomfortable
sensation that the wearer must be suffering
fortunes with the sleeves pinned into her
shoulders.
One never sees extremes in fashion upon
the woman OF refinement and taste. 1t is
the woman who is ambitious beyond her
means and who is ''bad formn in general
style and language who presumes to wear
street garments as they are worn in Paris
or who goes to the utmost height permiss-
able in anything. In the long skirts that
one sees now upon the street there is good
illustration OF this. The truly fashionable
woman wears her skirts just escaping the
street in front and barely sweeping the
pavement in the rear. There is no percent
ible fulness at either front or sides and the
back is gathered in double fold of fitness
that spreads out almost like a fan as it
reaches the bottom of the skirt.
A very stylish street dress of this de-
scription was of ecru cloth, tailor made
The jacket had a bordering of light fur and
