ed again. Some very dainty lace man.
ties are shown to go with some of the late
spring dresses. They have for the most
part a round or V shaped yoke of jetted
velvet or silk, with very full ruf1es of Span
ish lace.
We are told that the gentlemen are to
wear colored pique shirts for spring and
summer. These have the ribs running cross
wise n a plaid outline wrought through
it in very delicate %colors, or perhaps a small
and neat printed pattern upon it. These are
not to be outing shirts, but real nice dress
up shirts. And they say that velvet and
satin vests, and also white and buff linen
vests, will be worn, and that they will be
cut longer and higher than they have been,
and that the wide stocks are to almost SUI
persede cravats. These changes, with the
quaint looking bell crowned hats, will make
the stronger sex look more beautiful than
ever, particularly with the three story col
lars they are now wearing.
Smoking jackets and loungipg robes are
mostly made of the soft swans down fan
mel, which has a plaid pattern on the inside
and a notified figure with a border of stripes
on the outside. Few long robes are shown
now as the majority of men, it is said, pre-
fer short ones. But in any case be sure to
have seven pockets in each. lido not know
exactly where they put them all, but I be-
lieve the Law on this subject is very strict.
They fasten with frogs instead of the OBJ
noxious cord and tassel. Handkerchiefs
are five-eighths square, with a half inch
hemstitch hem, and made of linen lawn.
Among the new light wooden materials
is what is called satin cashmere and wooden
satin. This has a surface much like farm
er's satin, but there is this diference-the
wooden satin is all wool, while farmers
satin is half cotton. This makes a fabric
80 nearly like thick, rich satin that it is
bound to become an immediate favorite,
End it will wash like cashmere when the
colors are washable. 1t is shown in beaver,
pompadour, fig green, lucifer red, fawn,
sailor blue and also in black as we'll as the
old standard colors. The most of them are
reasonable in price, but some of the finest
qualities are as costly as real satin. There
is also a new cotton velvet that may find
some favor for spring suits. It is called
the olympia. It is1ight and looks quite
pretty, but cannot compare with velutina.
There are several new devices in MORE.
Black shows dots, clover leaf or coffee ber-
ry or snow crystal patterns over the sur
face. There are many cheap moires in light
colors for home and dancing gowns-pretty
and cheap, but not very durable. The rib.
bed silk in wavy lines is also shown in
spring colors as we'll as black. The vi.
gogne grapes are seen in colors this spring,
too, and very pretty they are. The cron.
stadt crepon with puckered lines is pretty
The ~varsovienne tricot is another new
weave having stripes of tricot and open
work stripes. This is pretty, but not very
good value, as the open work lines are APT
to catch to everything and ravel. GauffereG
ribbon will he used very much as trimming
to many spring silks, and cotton backed
velvet ribbon, if one may judge, will al
most be a fad sewed flat in different widthl
] on skirts. MATE LEROY.
