spondence. Gowns of two varieties are
seen upon the streets. Gowns lively and
gowns severe The former are furbelowed
as to the bodice and flounced as to the
skirt, and are set off with natural flowers
of the gaudiest variety. The latter are
plain to the last degree Of monotony in
the waist and are so contracted in the
skirt that the wearers justly complain that
they run the risk Of getting knees in their
skirts.
The former are in all the new shades Of
green, violet and cafe-au-lait. The latter
are in subdued tints of the old colors,
wrought out in homespun or English
tweed
lfThe former are worn by women with
more money than position. The latter by
those who regard severity in street COS
tune as the sign-mark of the Four Hum
dred
street dress which would, however,
have been more appropriate as . driving
gown was of one of the new shades Of
warm, sympathetic brown. The skirt was
plain habit-skirt with short demi-train.
The bodice was very short on the hips and
ended in point in front. It was shirred
at neck and waist. The bottom of the bod
ice was treated to series of points which
were outlined with gilt cord of the narrow
est variety. The sleeves were very long
and were finished by deep fall of lace
which covered the backs Of pair of gloves
made to match the costume and stitched
with gold cord.
An evening dress from the establishment
Of the same modiste was of white China
silk, made in precisely the same way, save
The Seattle post-intelligencer. [volume] (Seattle, Wash. Terr. [Wash.]) 1888-1914, 1891-03-08


that the neck was treated to Medici col
lar, very high in the back of the neck and
very low in front, and the sleeves were left
short to the elbow, where they were met by
white gloves stitched with gold to match
the waist trimmings.
Dressmakers do not allow the lack of an
embroidered or an embossed pattern upon
the material to deter them in the matter
of procuring the general effect of pattern
dress. With singular dizziness they outline
figures, either natural or conventional,
upon the plain material and then give
them into the hands of an apprentice to be
traced with narrow braiding which either
exactly matches the cloth or harmonizes
well with it. Thus a costly effect is pro-
duced at low price.
In all the standard colors, pretty figures
can be bought in braided designs ready to
be sewed on. These are fine in material.
we'll made, delicate in outline and so nicely
constructed that they will deceive even the
closest observer who seeks to detect the
machine made article from the hand
wrought. A design sewed upon a black
gown was of conventional roses with green
leaves connected by cobweb of lace in
imitation ofthe imported pattern dresses
which carry out that idea.
A lesson in color may not come amiss at
q season when so many combination
dresses are being planned. In all cases
where figured or checked goods are to be
combined with the plain material, let the
groundwork of the checked goods CORE
spond with the color of the plain. A
brown feige cloth may be combined with a
brown goods spotted with black, yellow,
green or whatever color one may wish.
But. mark you, q yellow material would
not look we'll combined with brown cloth
dotted with yellow. If the groundwork of
the principal material is brown, the
groundwork of the novelty goods must also

have been Of lavender and the general tone
would have been IN much better harmony.
This mistake IS frequently seen and often
accounts for the despairing cry which one
hears from the possess0r Of new gown:
81 thought those two shades would COM
bine well; saw . gown Of them last sea-
son and it was lovely"
Upon investigation it viii generally be
found that some law Of combination has
been violated to produce the ugly effect.
Another thing not generally known is
this: Many colors are pretty only when
combined with another contrasting one, in
limited quantities. Pink and blue, for ex-
ample, make a pretty, accepted French
combination. But with this rule the blue
must predominate A blue dress relieved
by pink is chic and becoming. But how
lurid and unpleasant is pink dress
trimmed with blue! All pink does beau
tifnlly, but set of with blue-heaven for
bid
Cafe-au-Iait relieved by brown is charm
ing. But brown with cafe-au-lait trim
ming is insipid. A heliotrope tea gown

with orange satin lining and ribbons is
unique, startling and fascinating. 1t was
Bernhardt's own idea, carried out by her
self, for q boudoir robe. But fancy the
horror of an orange satin dress trimmed
with heliotrope. Lavender and old rose

The dowager robe at wedding breakfasts
is no longer the regulation black or ruby
velvet. A recent wedding saw the brides
mother dressed in olive plush with court
train. A border of white Russian fox fur
borbered the bottom of the skirt and out
emeralds formed the ornaments. White
suede gloves stitched with olive were worn.
Easter dresses are already planned.
Women from previous experience have
found the difficulty there is in finding a
modiste to construct a gown the week or
two proceeding Easter Sunday. So few
of the wiser ones have taken time by the
bang and are getting their Easter gowns
made
An exquisitely planned church dress is
as follows: The habit skirt and waist ma
terial are Of grey and black silk in pin
stripes. The skirt is of the plain mater
lal. The waist has a zouave jacket of grey
cloth outlined with silver braid. The col
lar is grey with silver beading and the
grey cuffs are edged with silver. With
this gown is to be worn cut silver stick
pins and girdle, and, also! oh. shame, that
it should be planned thus deliberately! a
prayer book and hymnal with the initials
Of the owner wrought ssout in cut silver.
The general effect can not be pretty, quiet
and in good TASTE
Another Easter gown is in two shades of
green, nicely combined and is to be worn
with flower muff of red roses. The roses
are of the natural sort to be renewed at
each wearing. The delicate little green
toque which accompanies this Is trimmed
as to the front with seven red roses, ar
ranged closely together to form little
pyramid just over the front locks. These
roses must also be natural

Fashionable Churches Scored.

In recent sermon DR.. De Costa
said of New York's fashionable chur-
ches: People of means should ask
themselves where they could do most
good. They should not seek the church
with the most elaborate ritual and
with the best and most congenial soci-
ETY.. The man who refused to consider
these questions was an enemy and not
a friend of the church. The abandon
ment of the downtown churches by
the rich should not result in steady
decline of the church. Any PROPOSE
tion to close up one of the remaining
twenty-four churches should be regard
ed with concern. The mission money
now spent on the city institutions,
with their devils sick and wounded,
should be spent in strengthening the
poor parishes. The weak parishes were
entitled to the money. 1t belonged to
the Church of God in the lower part
of the city.
"a good general cares less for the
sick and wounded than for the body of
troops. A mission chapel, added the
preacher, was only notice to the poor
TO keep out of the churhes of the rich.
When the rich established missions,
with ten-cent prayer-books, it was not
to save others, but to save themselves.
The rich and poor should meet together.
Parishes for wealthy people were not
needed. In New York the best music,
the handsomest churches, the beauti-
full rooms were exclusively for the rich.
In England it was different. The veal
thy churches here were little more
than club houses, and constituted a
menace, standing menace, to the
church proper.
"should proud, pufed-up, mortgaged
institutions like these, added the doc
tor, .sbe strengthened Are they not
keeping people out of the church with
their exclusiveness? Men rather say
to these pnffed-up rich ones, ii that
is your religion we want none OF IT.,
The curse Of God win rest upon the
syndicate OF wealth. These are strong
words, but they are words which | am
prepared to defend. New York Tri-
