sewed to the seams, all around. This is
a rich trimming for any gown, but not
suited to any but the richest of materials.
1t would cheaper any other. Piping of
different color is seen ON sleeves and
bodices. In some cases there are four
and five pipings, all as narrow as the
material employed will allow, and these
are laid one beyond the oil Those
who have seen this fine finish to nice
gowns know that nothing looks more
elegant, but it must be well done. Only
the French seem to be adept in this pip
ing.
Furs still continue in the highest ia
vor as garniture for street and evening
dresses. Fur capes and short wraps, it
is said, will be worn much later this
spring, as fashion in foreign countries
says that they should be worn as late as
May. Heretofore only a very courageous
woman and very cold day had to be
combined before any all fur wrap could
be worn after the end of March Velvet
and rich cloth gowns take ON new
beauty when trimmed with fur.
There was royal purple dinner
dress for grandmother just finished in
an up town house. The dress was pril-
cess shape and made very full in the
skirt by gathering of the middle
breadths just below the waist line under
double rosette. The skirt was demi-
trained and bordered all around with
Alaska sable. There was slashed col
lar of old rose satin covered with Irish
point lace and bordered with sable. At
the neck there was stock Of old rose
silk null and a small bow of the same
in the back. The buttons down the
front-and there were eight-were Of
amethysts set with small brilliants.
do not know whether these were real
jewels or not. They looked quite as we'll
in any case.
There was another very fine and hand
some dress for an elderly lady which
would prove becoming and suitable for
any woman advanced in years. They
need the most superb material to off
set the ravages Of time. This was u
Louis XVI costume. The skirt was am
pie, with deep plaits in the back, but
without ornamentation. The color was
dark stone gray, almost black in
some lights, and the material was su-
perb Lyons grosgrain. There was a
Louis XVI coat, cut away in front and
with full plated skirt, all faced with
silk like the dress. The coat was of
thick brocade, with raised velvet pat
tern, and this gave several shades of
the gray reaching from quite light to
almost black. The sleeves were short

set two finely chased oxidized silver but

it is a simple gingham or calico or in
dainty frock like ono l saw today. This
was for small dance. The dress was of
white taffeta with plain skirt, not over
full and just clearing the floor all
around. There was a putting Of pale pink
silk null around the bottom, with both
edges ccrffered; the whole about five
inches wide The waist " as extremely

bon, three inches wide. This was form
ed into two fat loops and long ends by
a paste buckle. The sleeves were not
very full and there was doubled
sprung bertha around the neck. This
gown was for young girl Of II and
was very chaste and girlish.
The spring pattern hats and hornets
are now here and are very pretty and
graceful. Generally speaking, they will
shade the eyes more than they have
done, and few that l have seen thus far
are raised above the forehead. Some per-
sons find those turning back from the
face more becoming and therefore there
will be flaring ones. Violets are fairly
showered upon them, and dog roses, cow
slips and field daisies appear to be the
present favorites, but have seen no hat
thus far that had no feathers upon it
somewhere. Feathers, lace, velvet, rib
bon, fur and flowers are often seen on
the same hat Milan straw and leghorn
in black, brown, gray and burned straw
are among those shown now.
There are high beefeater crowns,
! square crowns and saucer crowns, and
there are what 30 years ago used to be
called "gypsies" and pork pies. Some
few bonnets are large enough to be dig.
nified with the name Of bonnets. Others
| look like little punches of straw, flowers
and ribbon, with perhaps little lace,
tied together. To sec one of these in
ones hand is absurd, but when it is sci
above fluff of soft hair and over pref
/ ty face it is at once bonnet and beau
tiful. Violets will without doubt have al
great rage this spring as they did last

Miss Anne Virginia Culbertson has

New York city this winter. She is a
wonderfully clever young woman with
her pen, and her impersonation Of the
character she creates is SO genuine that
one forgets the real self that lies behind
the imagined self.
Her writings are all in rhyme, and
her dialect productions remind one for
chilly of James Whitcomb Riley.
However, her gamut Of coloring is
more varied, for, besides the tales of the

New York. June 2.-You hear strangers
abroad speaking Of the flower parades
over here. Their own battle Of flowers
and floral festivals seem to them trivial

rarest Of all, a Californian fete. Their
own are small ever after!
Every year sees these flower festivals
more numerous. The summer towns. one

will be one to be chronicled in floral pa
rade history. At present the more ardent
of the cyclists and flower lovers are agi-
tating it. It will not fall through, but
how large it will be cannot be told until
August
Along the Pacific coast, where they can
make hedges of Gala lilies and grow
roses wild, the flower parades are things
so beautiful that there is no realization
of them, away. AS well look at a picture
of angels in a cloud-heaYen and try to
imagine the real thing as to picture
Santa Barbara fete when YOU have never
seen one. You, to whom a wild rose is a
thing painted upon PLAGUE and who
must fight for. your pansies, can only
dream of a Gala hedge as tall as man
walks.
Many very artistic schemes have been
arranged for the production of floral pa
rades this summer. 1t certainly does take
money the first year. If all had drags
and coaches il would be different But
after the twenty-five volunteers, the We
hicles give out, and then there must be
a sinking fund for firing, trimming, man
ming with assistants, etc. The assistants
are the small boys, the pages the foot
men and men attendants who walk in the
ranks of the parade, decked with bios
SONS and carrying baskets of them, but
actually keeping the sacred horses in place
and on the lookout for accidents from the
falling MOWERS.
In Paris the flower parades take the
form of a wild battle of violets, roses and
confetti. Then the sidewalk peddlers sell
their wares prestol And the smitten in
the fray must eat their rose leaves as a
penalty. Rose-leaf, violet and forget@rne-
not salad is served at all the restaurants
on that day. That's the latest in Parisi
once started in any place, the flower pa
rade becomes feature and lasts forever.
They are now nearly continuous in the
summer places. If connected they would
form one long flower chain extending pref
ty nearly across the country. And the
time for them is near at hand.
