BELTS AND COLLARS.
(From Harper's Bazar.)

There are one or two distinctive features
in this seasons fashions that are not to be
passed over lightly. Careless observers of
the new costumes now on exhibition say
that there is very little change in styles
since last year and that with little fur
blshing up old gowns VIII pass muster, but
they are sadly mistaken, for the very de-
tails that have not noticed are the ones
that give the chic and finished look to the
gowns this spring.
The belt and collar are the salient points
to be noticed, and 1t seems as though
France had run riot In the colors and
shapes Nothing matches, and 1t Is hard
to become accustomed to the violent con-
trasts, in spite of the training we have
been put through lately with the lowered
and Persian patterned silks A blue and
white silk, dull turquoise blue has a grass
green belt Of broad ribbon twisted around
the waist, and also run through eyelet-
holes in the stirring on the skirt The
same green ribbon is run through stirring
on the waist, and there Is band of It
around the neck, but there partly hidden
by the tabs OF white lace which fall over
1t at the back.
The collars on all the new gowns are cut
very high at the back; inside, have a
ruche; outside, tabs OF lace; and surround
ing the neck, ribbon. All these combined
must needs make rather too hot fashion
for midsummer, but for the present, at all
events, must be worn.
GirdIes of satin ribbon, pointed back and
front, are greatly In favor, and a new fad
is to have small rhinestone buttons both
In front and back, as II to hold down the
folds of the ribbon. A girdle of green satin
put on a Powered hellotrope silk has bands
of narrow white gros-grain ribbon sewed
on 1t. while plain purple stock finishes
the waist at the neck.

Good Husbands to be Furnished For Wom-

A Scandinavian weekly in Minnesota
makes the most original prize offer of the
year. 1t Is made in good faith, and will no
doubt add to the papers circulation.
Translated into English the offer reads as

MUM a good we'll cultivated farm, &c
miles from Red Wing, together with a

widower is only thirty years of age, an
energetic man in fairly good circumstan-
ces. He needs wife and is willing to
share life's joys and sorrows with that
woman whom this journal can in this way
obtain for him. There are without doubt
many, in the opinion of the editor who
would be glad to take advantage of such
an opportunity. Therefore the editor
does not desire to assume the responsible
ty of making choice Letters can be
sent to this office where they will be cared
for. their secrets guarded, and they will
be forwarded by first mail to Mr. WidoweI
