was blue Amazon cloth, of which the

caded in violets and green leaves. This
was the only dress have seen in New
York with tight fitting sleeves. Even
these sleeves We're drapcd in such Il man

The bonnet was violet velvet trimmed
with black tips and green leaves.
There was 10 visible wrap. though I
was disposed TO think that there was
chamois jacket underneath.
I-was sure of it in the case of an Or
binary gown which l saw later on the
street car. 1t was made of brown che
viot. The front breadth of the skirt
had the appearance of being separate
from the rest for about eight inches be-
low the waist and was trimmed on each
side with diagonal rows of black braid.
The waist fastened straight down the
front with diagonal strips ending in
buttons at the edge. The lady wore no
wrap, although it was very cold, but
when she walked out Of the car dis
covered that she did wear a very slight
hustle.
Appropos of this, bustles will undoubt-
edly be worn by many, but think that
most people will take advantage of the
new fashion that is coming in to put
a little fullncss into the top of the skirt.
The summer materials require this,and
the indications are that the fullness will
start very near the front and be pretty
evenly distributed around the sides and
back.
Among the new things for the neck
are satin chemisettes with satin stocks
and those small bows in front. The
chemisettes have Il row OF tiny pearl Or
gold buttons down the middle.
Buttons for trimming will be as popu-
lar as ever-large enamel and paste
ones for fancy dresses. small gold or sill
yer ones for ordinary wear. A pretty
bicycle suit of green and gray mixed
goods was trimmed with small silver
buttons from cap to legg1ngs.

The general effect of the scene from
n spectacular point of view was one of
lenten simplicity with plenty of black
and violet and grey. The most attrac-
tive and at the same time the most dis
tinctivcly lenten costume which | saw
was one of heavy dove grey faille. There
was a half length wrap of the same
material lined with violet velvet. The
hat was small, and consisted chiefly of
soft grey lace with border of violets
resting on the hair. An unique feature
of the costume and one which showed
great individuality of taste was pair
of grey gloves with gauntlets embroider-
cd in violets.
Violets, by the way. are much more
conspicuous and aggressive than the
poets would have them Their modest
little heads are jammed together in
punches as big as suntiowerS and they
are considered correct upon the lentcn
worshipper at any service. The fancy
for violets will not limit itself to this
time of sackcIoth and ashes. however.
Many of the Easter hats are made al
most entirely of violets. Violet straws
and gauZe of the same tint as the
flowers will be hard to distinguish from
the real blossoms in the early spring
hats.
Violet will be proper color in the
spring and summer goods, also pale
green: and indeed the tints in the pro-
ducts of art will follow IN natures wake
very close. Violet Innings and facings
give lenten appearance to what one
might call secular gown.
