A CLEAN OF COMFORT. as often done in
cloth as in velvet, and indeed | think
that done in cloth is more effective,
really, than the velvet.
There are shot silks and shot velvets
and shot brocades. They are in change
able tints, which have always ad-
mired, and | noticed also some shot eff
fects in wool and silk goods, and some
all woods where the twisted threads
somehow showed different lights rs the
sun would strike upon it.
The new spring woolens differ from
the old ones only in that they are trifle
lighter in weight.
The cloth for tailor gowns is literally
cream laid" it is so fine, so firm and
smooth. This comes in all colors, but
the favorites a.e biscuit and drab shades,
though Of course there are others, par
ticularly the faded leaf shades.
There is a heavy Melton cloth, intend
ed for spring cloaks and long wraps,
which has close, heavy body of satin
surfaced cloth with raised velvet designs
upon it,
In mourning outfits there is little but
very decorous attempt at ornamentation,
a trying to break the monotony of the Sc
we're lines heretofore seen. For first
mourning the deep veil and straight lines
are de rigeur, but when the long veil can
be laid aside little CLEAN of comfort
can be judiciously signaled by fancy
curves to the Grape bordering. No Grape
but the English is ever used as ap-
plique trimming. The elegant long cape
worn in the illustration is lined with
dead silk, and at the top of the collar has
curled line of ostrich flues. The bon
net has also jet ornament in front
above the folds of the Grape. This dress
is not, however, suitable for widow
until at least six months after her be-
reavement, but could be worn by a
sister or daughter after three months.
Among the "high novelties" of the sea-
son is the cloak represented here, and it
is called the Reve, or dream cloak. 1t
seems TO me to partake more Of the char
acter of a nightmare, but as it has taken
such a hold upon the fancy of the 'car-
rage customers" suppose it is duty
to show it. 1t was made in the original
cloth in faded -,
brick dust color. SI

fashion go around the shoulder and fall

The new bonnets are mostly in the
Quaker style, with broad ribbon strings
which tie under the chin in wide
picked out bow. Some of them have
the front denied down in Mary Stuart
style, The poke is prettier for young
faces and the denied rather more be-
coming for older ones. Any OF the
Quaker styles is pretty and generally
becoming. OLIVE HARPER,
Three years ago resident of Grass
Valley turned loose in that section three
English sparrows. They have mul-
tiplied rapidly, and are said to be death
on tree bugs, and have driven off other
birds that formerly ate the fruit. The
sparrows also eat some fruit, but prefer
