have seen the design reproduced in several
fabrics for early spring, one being in coach
mans drab cloth, with coon down fur.
Carriage dresses and visiting gowns are
made in some instances very deliberately
and in others with extreme plainness, per-
sona1 preference governing the matter.
Some are long, but more are walking
length, and some are a happy medium.
Two pretty and very Frenchy gowns of
this kind were recently finished for two
ladies Of this city whose good taste is un-
questioned. One was of slate gray armure
silk; the sleeves large gigot, with the
forearm of Lincoln green velvet, bordered
with narrow bands of a~strakhan. There
was a falling rufac in the neck of the vel
vet. A double point girdle was made of
the fur bordered velvet, and vandyke
around the bottom showed the velvet be-
meath. To wear with this was a wrap of
old rose cloth, fur bordered and embroid-
cred. The hat was green velvet, with old
gold tips.
The other dress, also q wide "be1l skirt"
was of heliotrope and black striped chew
lot, dead fine quality, with a double skirt,
both being bordered with fur, narrow bind
ings of the same being placed at waist and
shoulders. There is a fat box plait, which
extends down the skirt from the girdle,
which is of course postiche, and is Of plain
silk. The cheviot Is all cut On the bias.
With this there was a cavalier cloak of
black velvet, lined and piped with hello
trope satin, and a bonnet of black, with
heliotrope tips and a rhinestone arrow.
Formerly black and heliotrope was half
mourning, but it is not now. In fact there
is very little of what is called half mourn
ing anyhow.
During a tea" yesterday I sat in a cor
ner and made note of some Of the most at
t~ractive and novel dresses worn by visitors
and obtained sketches of two of the very
prettiest, which were worn by the two pref
ty young ladies who assisted the hostess.
One was an imported gown-that one upon
the left. 1t was of tan colored cashmere
sublime. 1t was scalloped around the bot
tom beneath a passementerie of pale hello
trope. The sleeves were tight, of heliotrope
fai1le, and over them fell caps to the elbow,
scalloped and buttonholed on the edge.
There was a yoke of white and heliotrope
brocade, a French waist and a scarf of he
liotrope surah brought around the shout
ders and fastened in a bow with long ends,
with balls on the points.
The other was of old rose faille, with jack
ct and front Of the skirt Of terra Gotta bro
cade. This own was en- princesse and

that If it were not that it is done in the in
terest of true economy / should say it was
useless.
I doubt if one of the husbands of these
ladies would spend half a day going to
perhaps fifty places to match a few yards
of office carpet, or in fact anything, for the
sake of saving few dollars. Perhaps, their
time being more valuable, it wouldnot pay
them, but as the majority of women have
nothing more to do than to look after the
WAYS of their households it does pay them
to make these little saving plans which,
though the men affect to laugh at, they
secretly commend. "She looketh well to
the ways of her household" is high praise
for a woman, and no woman can do that
who does not attend to her own shopping
and at the risk of the profound hatred of
the clerks and the i'll concealed impudence
of the salesladies insists upon having what
she knows she wants.
$The conscientious woman, and here are
tens OF thousands of them in even this city,
although her husbands a millionaire, feels
it a duty to save where she can while she
cannot earn
If should be called upon to give myidea
of woman's millennium, / should say it con-
sisted in being the mistress of a home
where the husband provided the money to
keep the house and the woman had moth
ing else to do than to 'look well to the
ways of her household"
Of course this has a broader meaning
than being simple housekeeper. It means
that she is mistress of the house, a mother
in truth and deed to her children and a
loving wife who seeks no pleasure that is
not in some way connected with home.
That is the happiest, noblest and grandest
life for a woman, but unfortunately many
are not able to give themselves up to the
beauty and charm of such a life, and many
other homes there are where the wife must
be the breadwinner, or where one or the
other of the elements necessary fails, but it
is apity they ever do.
So, returning to ourstext, let us honor in
stead of ridicule the dear little woman who
goes from store to store, prices goods she
does not buy, who goes home and thinks it
all over and compares the goods and prices,
and then buys that which enables her to
provide comfort and pleasure for her
amily, which they could not haye had

she been more mindful of her own strength
and pleasure, for, believe me, shopping is
not a pleasure, but a hard and fatiguing
duty.
Part of these reflections come from hav-
ing listened to a young married friend who
wished me to go with her to choose her
Easter hat before everybody had had the
pick. and here are the hats-a few of them
that she tried on before she finally chose
that on the upper left hand corner. 1t was
of blue noil felt, the brim futed all around.
The crown was like a mans ''stovepipe'
hat, and there was q drapery of velvet held
by jet buckles and ending in donkey ears,
and there was a bird of paradise plume in
front. The whole thing was utterly ridicu-
lous, but exceedingly becoming. Those bell
crown hats are seen in various styles. Some
of them have the bell crow of silk, like a
mans hat, and the brim of hard felt, and
some have the brim of shirred velvet or
satin. One had a black bell crown, with
red brim of felt, and velvet donkey ears
and bows of black ottoman silk. There
were several varieties of turbans, one hav-
ing a band of beaver and a soft crown of
gold colored faille, and a chou of brown vel
vet, with a tan plume and osprey, and in
front a rhinestone buckle.
Another queer shaped head covering was
a bent poke bonnet of gray noil, with a
soft pulled crown of m~ignonette velvet, a
chou Of the same and one upright plume of
moss green. There were moss green velvet
strings. It reminded one irresistibly of the
poke bonnet Of long ago, but it was not
very ugly. A cavalier hat in gray velvet
felt had the front split up in two horns
and the whole hat bound with curled gray
ostrich feathers, while there was an enor-
NOUS bow and ends of rich solferino red.
Nothing is SO beautiful with gray as this
peculiar tint Of red, which is nearly Grim
son.
While we were out that day we saw some
elegant early spring wraps, one of dark
green cancels hair bound with blue gray
fur. 1t was made like a double breasted
redingote, with a velvet belt and V shaped
inset. The collar turned down, and the
jabot fronts were of cancels hair, lined
with silk of the same shade. The other
was a half long cloak of velvet, embroidered
In front and with fur borderings. 1t hangs
loose from the shoulders in the back, and /

iects of smart paragraphs regarding their
shopping habits and subjects of ridicule
everywhere. The humorous papers have
shown pictures of sad faced and long suf-
fering statesmen and women, and there was
a time when no lady would deign to carry
home a paper of pins or a spool OF thread.
In the first place, upon the woman de-
wolves the duty of purchasing raiment for
all of the family except the mems outdoor
garments. She must provide towels and
table linen, curtains and bedding, fannels
and shirts, bath robes, collars, cuffs and
hosiery. and in fact she must purchase al
NEST every garment or article of household
need that comes into the house. and the
vista of necessities stretches out far be-
yond the limits of two columns in a news
paper, let alone the little luxuries.
If a woman is conscientious in the dis
pensing of the money her husband provides
her with, she cannot go into any store, no
matter how large or comprehensive it is,
and give a carte blanche order without
looking not only at the items, but examin-
ing everything to see if it comes up to the
standard, and the conscientious woman
makes it her business to know the stand
ard. How could she know it if she did not
go to the different stores and by careful
comparison and scrutiny learn it and the
prices?
1t is just the wise and prudent women
who are acting on the right principle who
go into the stores and shops diligently,
making the clerks more trouble, it is true,
but getting the best value of their money,
taking no more than they want, knowing
what they want to a fraction, and taking
that and not allowing themselves to be
cajoled into taking any other color, quality
or material, and saving in several ways by
so doing.
Women are accused, and very unjustly,
of loving to go shopping too well. as If
shopping was amusement. Personally l
consider it the hardest labor of my life, and
j know hundreds who feel the same way,
but the mother of a family or a wife who
keeps house finds that it takes many hard
and tiresomed days tokeep properly supplied
on a certain sum of money.
Matching goods or ribbons is SO very
much more difficult and requires 30 much
more labor and going from store to store

Only one grave fault can be found in the
administration of his office as collector,
aud that was his selfshness in doing all

would not allow anyone else enjoy the
same pleasure which he did, literally
fulfilling the Scriptural injunction, OF
