Mr.. White says that it is his opinion
that the farmers in the western and

practically abandon farming and de-
vote their time exclusively to grazing

MEMPHIS, Tenn, March ID. The

The river stands at 48.8 feet, q rise OF

formal visits and occasions Of ceremony.
There promises to be continuation OF
the reign Of blue, green and purple. Com
binations of blue and green or purple and
green are seen in the millinery for demi-
season, and violets are more worn than
ever. Round hats are not only heavily
plumed, but IRE adorned with quantities
Of flowers. 4 back one lately seen had the
crown completely surrounded by thick
wreath of purplish crimson clover BIOS
SONS, and the effect was very pretty. The
hack Of the hat is often turned directly up

placed against it, resting on the hair.
Black or white wells are preferred to color
ed ones.
Many exceedingly pretty black hats are
seen among the new importations, velvet
and ostrich feathers predominating as q
trimming. Turquoise blue velvet Is re-"
vived in millinery, and the cherry tones
are as much favored as ever.

is gathered, plated or draped over silk Of
the color Of the skirt. Most often the
bodice fastens at tho back, being laced,
preferably.
Sleeves of mousseline de sole and other
transparent stuffs are frequently made
without lining, which renders them very
becoming to the arm. Flowers are much
used for trimming, roses, lilacs, gera-

the favorites.

White ball and evening gowns are the
most generally satisfactory ones, not only
because they are universally becoming and
suited to all occasions Of festivity, but be-
cause they may be most easily diversified
by varying accessories. The bodice of the
white gown can be different from the skirt

gled tulle, lace or guipure-and yet preserve
the unities by being white, and a change
