In Jackets and wraps there is almost as
great a variety as there is in bonnets, blu 1
think from what / see in the importing
houses and the great cloak factories that
the styles In all the spring wraps except
those worn to market, or on rainy days, or
to business will be narrowed down to the
jacket shape, the cape, both military and
with deep rufdes, and with a few OF the
ugly sack and box styles for those who
want something outre.
| give an illustration of three walking
coats that seem to me to combine all the
desirable features and to have none of those
awkward effects of the box variety. The
figure represented IN the left shows a suit
of diagonal cheviot brown and black.
Around the bottom of the skirt IS a band of
black velvet. The coat is plain in the back
and tailor stitched all around. The front
opens over a simulated velvet vest, with a
Yufie of velvet beneath-one of cheviot and
a narrow velvet one. The hat matches the
porn In color. The center figure has a
nlain bell skirt, not very wide, OF dark green
Maid. with dull red lines over pale blue.
The Jacket is of dark green cloth, cut away
IN front. with a vest that closes across the
front of the skirt, with buttons. There is
a rolling velvet collar, and the vest front IS
handsomely braided. There are % buttons
oil black velvet on this.
The third is a walking costume, Suitable
for the most formal visits, of prune cancels
hair. The skirt has a marrow plating, above
which there is a band of embossed velvet
in two shades of prune. The coat is made
quite plain in the back. with a plating
down the front Of velvet in one shade dark
sr than the camel's hair. There are reyers
also, and a turn down collar Of the same
velvet. The rufded cape is lined with hello
trope silk, and the hat is trimmed to match
the colors in the costume.
OF late years h~ouseholders in America
have given much attention to the interior
adjournment of their homes, and now arts
tic draperies festoon the doors and win
dows and handsome portieres give their
rich and noble effect to rooms that used to
be bare. The owners used to think Siding
double doors and ordinary doors were suH-
GENTLY ornamental, but it is not 50 now,
and hardly Z house stands that y nes

A woman's Familiar Remark.
OVERHEARD AT THE DRY GOODS STORE,

An Interesting Incident. A Chat Full OF
Interest to Women.-Some Things Are
Told That Are Not Generally Known.
Why So Many Ladies Feel Tired and
Worn Ont After Visiting the Stores.
II secured a splendid bargain"
l overheard a lady make this re-
mark to a companion just after com
ing out of one Of those extensive
houses that conduct bargain counters.
Her face was very earnest and her
eyes sparkled, but i could see in the
paleness, in the lines upon her face,
that she had been suffering, and was
even then suffering. l understood
that she had saved money in the pur-
chase she had made, but | could see
that she had lost the greatest OF all
human bargains-good health.
How many women there are today
who are unhappy and suffering, and
yet who do not fully realize why it is
so. They feel weak, weary and often
discouraged. They care little for
food and less for exercise. Their
sleep is disturbed, their minds are not
at rest. They are unhappy. To all
such the following experience will be
interesting and valuable:

WALLS "A EIhD win HAh5
delicate floral patterns apd wreaths, as well
as set a~ll-over conventional designs in the
approved colorings, which have nearly all
a sort of metallic under luster, SO to call it,
that is simply enhancing in its richness.
Some of these renaissance designs look
like old tapestry, and in some of them the
pattern is SO large that it would take a
very large chair back to hold one complete
figured design.
Pale pink, dull greens, old gold olive,
faded blues, rusty reds and silvery white
are the colors with which these marvels are
wrought out. There are baskets of flowers,
floating festoons of lace caught in punches
of delicate blossoms with knotted ribbons,
conventional figures drawn from the iris
and wild rose, garnet grounds with olive
and old gold figures, lampas patterns and
other designs that one might imagine had
been brought from the little Trianon, and
others that might have come from the palace
of some old doge of Venice.
Some of the designs are heavily ribbed,
and over this creeps a graceful pattern, one
in cream and French brown being most
beautiful. These are all of the most superb
quality, and it is impossible to mention
them in detail, there are SO many and all
so different, but there are also other kinds
which look as well, but are cotton backed.
There are some others also called derby
satin curt aims and portieres that have wool
and silk and are reversible. being as hand
some ON one side as the other.
There is another novelty this season
which has a pattern that looks like a
white lace curtain laid over a satin one of
another color. These are in light tints be-
meath the white, and the design is cunning
ly worked out by throwing up the white
threads.
There is one design of damask in sage
green and old rose that would make a bou-
doir for a lady that would be a bower of
beauty, and another in gold and white that
would furnish a drawing room for a prince,
and there is a curious looking weave that
is called hammered drapery. In leather
shades, and in fact in all the shades, it is
papered on the wall and finished with a
fat bordering or dado of velvet. It is in
two colors, like brown o N cream or garnet
over old gold. Chocolate and terra Gotta
are also f~avorite leading colors for these
hammered silks. Some are in magenta red.

in sv1... -, 1900 ...ore beautiful and
homelike by the judicious use of draperies.
They may be of heavy brocatel or satin
damask, or they may be of simple ilkoline,
but whatever the material employed the
spirit is the same, that of reaching after
the beautiful at home, and this is right, for
what does the world hold better than a
home? If we are not to make 1t beautiful,
we might as well live in a mud hut.
Whatever has been the reason, it must
be admitted that we Americans have been
far behind foreign countries in'the adorn-
ment of our homes. If it was because the
materials cost so much, there is no longer
that excuse, for our American factories are
now producing the most superb fabrics for
that special purpose, and the price is very
little over half that of the foreign goods.
I nave been this past week in several
places where tho products of u own looms
are displayed, and it made me proud to feel
that / an an American and that l belong
to the same country that produces such su-
perb things OF course there Is fashion in
it, as there is in everything else, and just
now the richest of this seasons output
are satin damasks that have never before
been surpassed. They are known as the
rocco, renaissance and byzantine effects
and are in all the splendid colorings and
stiff richness belonging to those periods.
These are presented in very wide widths and
can be lined or not, as suits the buyer.
There are several sorts of light silks in
the same widths for lining the brocatel and
damasks, one being the sunshine drapery,
which is changeable and has a delicate
tracery like frost in brocade over the sur
face. The colers are made to match those
of the satin damask, and alone it makes an
exquisite drapery.
One most elegant pattern of satin damask
is of pale buff, with a popularity of the
weave which makes the figure look like
embossed work. This comes in several col
ors, and sometimes in old rose and white.
These satin brocadess are sometimes pa
pered on to a wall. The blue room in the
White House was fitted with this kind of
brocade.
The portieres are always made of the
same, lined with forentine or sunshine
silk and trimmed with fringe.
There is a new silk drapery of the richest
quality-in fact, it is satin damask in the
conventional and empire designs in the
most exquisite ~colorings of pale blue with

store, so that there is not a great variety.
But in the importing house it is different,
and the tiny mite of an evening bonnet is
placed by the side of a wide brimmed hat
of an entirely different style, and, one might
almost say, of q different century.
A recent visit to an importer of hats and
bonnets and general millinery showed that
the straw hats for summer are pink, pale
blue, lilac, old gold and light green. These
are trimmed with almost everything that
could be employed for the purpose-grasses,
trailing vines of hops and convolvuli, Glacs,
violets, daisies and ribbons of all kinds and
coiors, plaid being perhaps as much used as
any three other patterns.
/ saw a beautiful gown just finished. 1t
had seven bias hounces three inches wide
set six inches apart all up the skirt. The
material was fine canvas frame cheviot of
a delicate biscuit color, and the %rufies,
which were scarcely gathered at all, were
of velvet of the same shade cut on the bias.
The sleeves were of cheviot with velvet
puffs, and a velvet full vest. The waist
was cut short and round, with a draped
belt of the velvet. 1t was altogether a
striking costume. There was a slight
train, which gave the founces a decided dip
in the back.
There were some other very handsome
gowns made at this establishment, which
prides itself on the artistic effect more than
the expense, and the modesto has the name
of having advised customers to wear SIM
pier and less expensive garments, to her
own loss. One of the successes was a dress
of stone gray cashmere d'inde, princess
shape, and, by the way, the princess shape
appears to me to be much more popular
than it has been for several years. This has
a trimming of persian bands set upon the
skirt ard placed upon the figaro and across
the hips. The figaro and sleeves, as well
as a side band on the skirt, are all of indigo
blue velutina, making of it an idealdress.
A tan colored vigogne was made with a
plain skirt slightly drawn across the front
and trimmed with brown velvet ribbon
sewn on fat, a sash of the same and upper
sleeves. The gown closes under the arms
and is altogether a really beautiful costume
for a young lady. Both of these dresses are
such good models that they could be copied
in any material or color, using care IN the
selection of the combination.
