RESIDENCE OF CHANCELLOR HOLLAND.

With the approach of Easter there is
naturally some interest with regard to
Easter flowers. The arbiters of fashion de-
clare that there will not be any change in
the kind of flowers worn for Easter. Mar
cissus, hyac1nths, lilies of the valley, vio-
lets and other spring flowers, or one or two
fine roses, will be seen on the corsage of the
tastefully-attired woman. A few years ago
il was customary to wear large flowers and
q great many of them Now the inevitable
reaction has come, and women are wearing
small lunches of flowers, both for evening
and in the street The great travelling
flower garden on the front of woman s
dress is thing of the past. A parterre of
roses is a pretty thing in its place, but
American women have decided that that
place is not on their dresses. Gentlemen in
the East wear large boutonnaires. and the
fashion has reached Pittsburg. The swell
thing for man now is a carnation, few
lilies of the valley or bunch of violets in
his buttonhole. Flowers will be generally
worn in the street this summer, but in mod
est quantities.
The fashion in America for people to
leave their window shides up at night,
with a strong light in the apartment, is
rather startling TO foreigners, who have
been accustomed to close privacy in their
homes In the East End last Sunday night
a young man was seen taking an affectionate
and dramatic farewell of a sweet maiden in
hanIeo,,,aIr- 1irb4a1
to protect the windows and balk prying
eyes save curtains of point lace, that were
ornamental but did not shelter the occu-
pants OF the apartment 1t was very pretty
TO see the gallant holding the girls hand
in an affectionate clasp, and still prettier
TO see him bow his handsome head and kiss
her But one would be disposed to think
that if the window shade had been down the
girl would have felt more comfortable. As
ra the gentleman, he was probably too
haJ oy and proud to care who saw him.
