reductions. AS it would involve costly
litigation to fight these claims, the ship

tons with the railroads. such as rates,
supply of cars, ETC., and will protect the
manufacturer against inscriptions deal

other days without q certain amount Of
graduation, but in the language Of the poet
we will get there Just the Sandstone day.
There was a very handsome imported
model gown intended for home wear. 1t
was Of a rich, warm brown cloth and had
a not overfull skirt made walking length.
There were two bands of black velvet
upon the seams at the front of the skirt.
There was a basque waist, with a full
plated polka whose two front ends hung
In deep points ending in gilt ornaments.
At the waist was girile of velvet and
pelerine cape over the shoulders, and over
this was a folded bretelle of brown surah.
This was laid in four fat bias folds. The
sleeves were almost scanty in comparison
with many others. Side by side with that
was blouse waist made OF ruby plush.
The sleeves were large and draped up in q
manner to get the most material in them
\possible. On tho left breast was a gilt and
kteel butterfly, quite a remarkable orna-
ment altogether. This blouse was worn
4over a perforated skirt of pongee, with a
ruby silk one beneath through which the
rich color showed with pleasing effect.
Among the handsomest new goods Of
fered for spring costumes find several new
varieties of illuminated suitings, nearly
all Of them in the loveliest colors possible
to combine. There Is a new serge in black
black there is a black imperial surah serge
and several new weaves in bright swivel
and granite cloths. The silk warp henri
ettas are also shown both plain and woven
in tiny figures.
The light cheviots make the prettiest
and most satisfactory gowns for spring,
and they can be worn far into the sum-
mer. They arc Rrays, drabs and fawns,
with admixtures OF garnet, red, blue,
green, black and yellow, sometimes only
one and sometimes all these other colors,
but so cleverly is the mingling OF threads
accomplished that one sees but the surface
color. They do not come under the head
Of heather mixture, which is quite another
thing and not less pleasing.
In my visits to tho different places dur
ing the past week I have noticed that
cluny and torcnon laces arc without
doubt the favorites for nearly all kinds of
trimming on such garments as are to be
washed. There Is a new lacelike muslin
bordering called Russian lace, which re-
sembles the real honiton point closely.
This will be suitable for the muslin
dresses. Next to that will be a new imita
ton Of brussels point. think the lighter
laces will be generally preferred this sea-
son, though some point de venise in the
form of yokes, collars and vandyke points
will be seen as trimming. The imitation
brussels point is a very clever imitation,
requiring almost an expert to tell the diff
ference. For ordinary dressmaking pur-
poses do not see why tho machine made
lace is not as valuable as the handmade.
Lace Is made for the adornment Of a gar
ment and not of the person, like jewels,
but real lace is O satisfaction worth having,
after all MATE LEROY.

ploycd by the day make them at home
Very few first class modistes will make
cotton dresses There is no chance to
make extra money for findings and trim
mings So these gowns occupy the time
and attention of tho ladies during the
spare moments until the time comes to
wear them. When each gown is finished
it should be, and generally is, wrapped in
soft paper and packed away in large paste
board boxes until summer. In the mean
time the ladies go on buying their spring
wooden gowns and their new ball dresses
The two handsomest evening gowns
that I have seen within a month, except
those intended for young girls, were two
that were designed abroad for two young
married ladies-sisters. One had a skirt
of twilIed silk in two tones; one maize and
the other russell green. 1t was very full
around the bottom. The waist was of
magenta velvet drawn up In front to sim
ulate draped figaro. There was a lace
vest with q white velvet girdle, pointed
and embroidered with gold. There was a
fat gold embroidered white velvet collar,
and across the bust a band Of gold galloon
with gilt beads, ended on each side by a
triple bow Of magenta velvet. Long loops
skirt in front. The sleeves were left open
to show lace under sleeves which ended at
the elbow.
The other gown was Of apple green vel
vet with long, full train. The front of
the skirt was Of plated crepe de chine, en-
broidered in gold along the bottom. The
waist was altogether of pulled china Grape
and so were the sleeves, with an effective
arrangement of lace and gilt ornaments
in front On the left shoulder there was a
bunch of gorgeous tulips. The back of
the waist was pointed and trimmed with
the lace, which did not lap down, but WAS
laid up to the top of the shoulder.
The sleeves, think, as a general thing,
are not quite as large as they have been.
but still one does find occasionally one
larger than before. Yet think the tend
ency is rather toward smaller sleeves. ]
noted ono elegant new whiEcuTd suit, and
those sleeves were certainly much smaller
than usual. The form WAS n draped gigot
with a wrinkled forearm. Another style
was sleeve to Il u Iht diagonal cLeviOt.
There was a short forearm piece made Of
brown plush, scarcely more than a cuff.
This was bordered with a narrow band OF
lynx fur. The upper part of the sleove
was gathered bishop fashion, top and bot
tom. This was pretty large, but not quite
as full as heretofore. \ sleeve to a ball
gown of white and cherry striped gauZe
was gathered in one puT to the elbow.
Tho upper part was shirrCd up slightly,
just enough to break the straight lines.
This, though still quite large enough to
call for masculine condemnation, is much
smaller than have seen. We could not
go from these enormitics TO the sleeve Of
