Ill the novel state, entered upon with un-

upon the discipline of temper and will and
the practice of the everyday graces of mer-

the other and been compelled to defer To the
whims OF blood relatives and to consult the

IN New Iork for two young married ladies'
One was of superb heliotrope brocade and
peau de sole of the same shade The front
OF the princess dress was of brocade, the
back of the peau de soe and neither had
any trimming. Around the bust there was
gathered and tied i'll n bowknot II scarf of
old point lace, which reached nearly to the
bottom of the skirt. The sleeves were
pulled, and cream colorcd gloves covered
the arms.
In the hair was II pompon of purple feath
ers. Pearls were the only Jewels worn with
this. The other dress was of figured faille
new silk. The color was blue, with ample
blossoms scattered over the surface, and it
was made princess STYLE with vatican train
and fall of lace Mt the side after reaching
around the shoulders in the form of n ber-
the, Topped with tufts of blue ostrich feath-
ers. There were four of these on the cor
sage and one i'll the hair, while around the
bottom was q band of tho same feather
The front of the corsage had IL pointed jabot

During Lent the young girls who are de-
votionally inclined rather affect extreme
severity in attire, and it makes them ap-
pear lovelier to see the blind reaching out
toward sacrifice as part of woman's life
that they accept willingly without know
ing why.
There is n special church attire for almost
every Sunday in the year except Easter,
when women wear their brightest and best
The rest of the time they make point of
wearing black, or at least their darkest
dresses. Black grosgrain silk, black faille,
cashmere and silk warp henricttc, or some
of the elegant wooden brocades, are all suit

wear. The wraps are rich without being
conspicuous, and the bonnets are usually of
black velvet and jet or lace No wells

THE ROANOKE TIMES SATURDAY. FEBRUARY A 1879

There are several spring fabrics that APP
proach mohair and crystallette in body
and finish, and these are in all the latest
colors and will be almost invariably made
with accordion plaitings. This has always
been liked, but all goods do not look well
accordion plated. Silk and grenadine and
the glossy mohairs look the best
In New York there are two or three places
where n speciality is made of children's out
fits, from baby's first clothes to those for
girls and boys of fifteen and wandered
into one of these and was delighted with
the styles, which are handsome and use
fsll, strong and really adapted exactly
to the purposes and ages of the wearers.
Phose for the youngest are the strongest
and darkest, and it is only the girl and boy
who know how to take care of their clothes
who get the light and more delicate
colors and fabrics. 1t really costs less to
take ones children to an outlitter of this
Kind and get everything ready made than
to buy the materials and make them. We
buy all our boys clothing made because it
is cheaper and better than we could make
at home, and why not those for the girls?
A friend of mine who has two pretty
young daughters was there, and bought for
the younger one coat of snowflake cloth,
gray and white, with braided yoke and
dark gray velvet sleeves, and hat to
niatch. For the elder she got u dainty
light blue camels hair, trimmed with
bands made of silk of the same shade
striped and dotted with chenille in dark
blue. There was an Elton jacket, with u
collarine, the outside of dark blue velvet
and faced with plain blue silk. The hat
was of blue felt and pale blue velvet bows
and plume. Nothing could be prettier or
dainticr.
There were other garments in the latest
designs which were peculiarly suited to
girls of that age which is so difficult to dress
gracefully. One costume was of old rose
camel's hair, which, by the way, is an ex-
cellent material for young folks. The dress
was plain princess and had leg O. mutton
sleeves of chestnut brown velvet. Around
neck, wrists, bust and skirt was hand of
drab coon down. The front had five rows
of embroidery in silk shaded from pale
green to russell brown. The hat was of light
brown felt, with feathers of old rose.

The flowers are usually very small, but

in n few houses that the skirts made of

pluys and Novels.

Most people have II very clear conception
OF what good play ought to be and of the
precise extent to which realism can be eff
fective without being offensive. But it is
strange, and it is II bad sign of the times
that persons who would not tolerate a
coarse play read novels little, if mt all, short
OF indecent. An answer suggests itself
which may be comprehensive rs an eXplann-
ton, but is insufficient us an excuse. In
our Anglo-SaNon social system the Young
girl Is everywhere, and if the shade of
Sterne will allow me to say SO we temper
the wind of our realism TO the sensitive
Innocence of the ubiquitous lamb. Once
admit that the young girl is to have the
freedom of our theater, and it follows, and
ought to follow and very generally does
follow, that our plays must be suited to
maiden ears and eyes. 1t is good thing
that this should be so, but the effect is
rather strange.
The men who hear plays in English are
not, perhaps. much more moral than their
contemporaries of Paris, Vienna and Ber-
lin. We like to believe that our women
are better than those of foreign nations.
we owe 1t TO them to put more faith in
