 went out shopping yesterday with a girl who wanted to buy spring visit ing gown. She had a yellow jonquil in the breast of her new French swallow tail coat, and that jonquil proved to be the controlling spirit of the whole ex- petition. It determined the girl in the first place to wear the coat, for it dropped from her hand as she was but toning fur cape, and fell upon the sill very gray cloth with it's seams overlaid with fine silver silk gimp, producing such a concord of color as would have compelled any sane woman, not a Bos- tonian, to make the suggested change
 A tailor gown of the old-fashioned ashes of roses struck my shoppers fancy four minutes after we entered the first store. It had long straight French polonaise over a bell skirt-the dressmakers haven't recovered yet from that freak of their scissors-of ashes of roses corded with silk, with deep hem about the bottom of velvet of the same color scalloped and tucked out with rows of gray gimp dotted with little pendules of cut steel It was a charm. ing costume, but as she bent over it the yellow positivism of the jonquil seemed to take all heart and courage out the tender, delicate tones. My shopper ceased to like it, though she didn't know what had happened to it, and she strengthened herself and turned her back on it, with some remark to the effect that she thought it would fade.
 A smooth cloth gown of light tan col or was the next she ventured to take into consideration. It was handsome affair enough, with a pointed corselet front buttoned on the left, and with guipure collar all in one, this of sage green and tan striped cloth. It had simple sleeves of plain sage green stuff. with deep striped cuffs and French skirt of tan cloth, into which the wear CT was supposed to get by way of slit on the left, hospitably trimmed with buttons At the foot was 8 broad striped border. I could see that my shopper was looking at it with an eye that saw also the French long coat of tan-colored Harris tweed hanging in her wardrobe at home. It seemed to her, evidently, that coat and costume were born for each other. but when, in her enthusiasm, she drew one step nearer something dissolved the spell of the ahanities; it was the jonquil. Its honest disk of sunshine stood out over the tan color and made a broad and effective

BAKED TO DEATH.

Michigan Charcoal Burners Thrust 8
 Woman Into an Oven.
 DETROIT, Mich, Feb. 24-On ay-day at charcoal camp twenty miles from Emerson, 8 small town on the upper pen insula, the men celebrated the occasion by getting drunk. They were visited by 8 woman named Lou Bennett, who lived with another woman of like character about two miles from the camp, and having grievance against her they de- cided to discipline her.
 They seized the woman, bound her hand and foot and thrust her into one of the coal ovens, which was known to be filled, but which the men did not know had been kindled. Their action was dis covered by the camp boss shortly after wards, but the woman was dead before he succeeded in getting her out. Her entire body was Drowned by the intense heat and was dry as a piece of leather.
 The body was buried near her shanty and the sheriff was informed of the crime

contrast, but one, alas, that suggested cheapness and not distinction.
 saw that innocent jonquil, which after all must have been anxious enough itself to get out of the hot stores and the sharp winds and be at home, put her out of conceit with heliotrope princess dress trimmed with bretelles and with green and shaggy tweed, with round belted waist and narrow vest of green bengaline. Away from it they were perfection. In its neighbor- hood you vaguely and uncomfortably suspected them of crudity. I can't say to what footsoreuess we should not have been reduced in the end if had not, after prayerful consideration, paused hesitatingly, as forlorn hope, to see just how vigorously the jonquil would rebel against striped gown in pale green and gray, the contrasting bars running dizzily about it horizon tally. It was not a bad dress, but pret- ty only for a slender woman. knew my shopper was too plump for it, but the jonquil uttered never syllable of protest, and so in sheer weariness the slave of the jonquil ordered it home
 More interesting was the spring wrap she bought to go with it. They are figured together in the illustration. The black lace visite has light back finished with streamers of black velvet. It is loose in front and has a lace yoke and a velvet rosette with long ends There was a hat, too, of black lace with butterfly bows, to make which in any way seasonable will call for a de- cided change in the reading of the ther- mometer.
 There are wraps with loose backs among the exhibitions. I fancy they will stay among them, for it's hardly in woman nature to spoil living figures by taking them of their dummy models.
 The batiste patterns are very pretty, with their pale yellow carnations thrown on pink or their violet clusters on white, on their honeysuckle flowers on pale blue; but I want to give you a tea-gown picture and the batists must wait for another seven days It's a corn-colored crepe de chine with a princess front and a wide ribbon belt tied behind. The front of the bodice is draped with lace, black or white, as you choose, and the back is shirred at the waist and lies in a round train with wide crepe bands; it forms loose draped sleeves which fastens on the inner side of the arm. It's 5a graceful garment and 8 sumptuous one. but who could imag- inc it on Bostonian2

ing conviction that now abideth sobri- greatest of these is propriety. Boston seems to rest always within the black silk tradition.
 When you see a bit of color it is of some shade that belongs to last year. Boston has taken time to consider it, to reason with itself calmly and to come, as to the younger of it's population, to a logical and self-satisfying conviction that it's not inimical to culture.
 It's the same way with shapes and materials; Boston won't take them for granted, they have to argue with it to prove their claim to be adopted into it's traditions, to tone themselves down and cast off their eccentricities and or iginalities and become like unto other fashions beloved of the Bostonians; to acclimate themselves in short; take a Boston flavor and prepare to be toyed with by the east wind.
 A Boston woman when she is in full panop1y squeaks, not as often as she moves but semi-occasionally. There's something peculiar about her back bone or her stays.
 She take pains conscientiously with her clothes. But
 When I got back on Broadway and a girl looked up facing me with a bunch of red tulips on her bosom could have opened my arms. Her dress was black, too, but not for blackness' sake; it did but give the tulips and the red ribbon on her huff and the red wing in her hat the more vivid opportunity. The New York woman loves effect and she isn't ashamed of it, and that is why the windows are filled with mauve and rose pink and the soft hues of the violet and lilac and the tender brown of burst ing buds and the misty gray of the at mosphere; with jonquil yellow and iris purple and vandyke or brilliant kaga red and sevres blueSAll for her delect- ation.
 One of the most novel of the spring novelties I have seen thus far is a frock of blue camels hair close-se from the neck to the ground with lines os black gimp making perpendicular stripes dot ted with shiny black cabochons. From the sketch of it you will see the wider bands of fanciful gimp at the foot of
