however are mana painted, many having the
old Vatican landscapes and shepherdesses
painted in the delicate tints made so famous
by that painter.
The present styles of hairdressing render
the use OF combs a necessity. The regular
Spanish comb is the prettiest of all, but a
real Spanish comb is one of the most diff
cult things to find. There are several quaint
and very pretty shapes in tortoise shell,
which are worn in the high knots and loops
now so much in use. The old fashioned
''side combs" of shell are worn under the
waved bandeauX of hair to puff it out over
the ears. Pretty %rosettes of velvet and
choux Of ribbon are made on hairpins and
stuck in the hair in different places.
l must not close without mentioning
some new fancies in light materials for
warm weather dresses, for they are unusual
ly pretty. / found some swivel effects in
silk zephyr ginghams, which are exceed
ingly dainty and fine. They are in all tints
of the spring. There is some shaded Gre
pom where the effect is achieved by differ
emit shades Of one color, like greens from
the darkest olives to pale water green. The
browns shade beautifully, and, in fact,
they are all very lovely and very new.
There is also a new serpentine crepon which
will make up with pretty frocks. The Irish
grass cloth is sent to us in the unbleached
ground, with all sorts of fancy stripes and
figures stamped upon it. This is strong
and will wash and iron we'll. always look
ing like new if irOned on the wrong side.
There is o cotton challie almost as soft
and dainty as the silk and wool and printed
in the same delicate patterns. Indeed it
would take a close observer to know the
difference even by touch, so fine and sheer
are these made. There are some rather
dearer French crepons with shaded effects
and some with variegated stripes. This
was much admired and will doubtless be
popular. There are several grades of new
pongees, some with light and some with
dark grounds, on which are printed neat
and delicate designs, mostly in flowers,
though I notice a great leaning toward
small, close polka dots. There are also a
number OF polka designs in surah and fou-
lard. Foulard wool in the same design is
seen in dark grounds.
It is noticeable that nearly all the ging-
hams have a more or less pronounced GRIN
kle effect. Wherever there are stripes one
is sure to be crinkled, and where barred the
lengthwise bar will be crinkled, which
gives the material a richer appearance than
ever before. These lines are Of another
thread also, which makes them CLEAN like
satin stripes and gives rise to the name of
silk zephyrs. The ribbed ginghams are
very handsome and might make a fine
enough dress for a queen. One l noted was
fawn and brown, with white ribs. The
brown was in two straight ines and then
two broken ones lengthwise over the fawn
and white ribbed ground. This pattern
was carried out in a variety OF colors.
l took particular notice of a new tailor
fabric, very close and fine, in white and
light colored wool. 1t is woven in a twilled
h~erringbonc pattern, with a twilled satin
stripe Of the principal color. This is seen
in blush gray, drab, brown and dark gray
only four colors. MATE LEROY.
