SPRING SEASON STYLES.

Various Materials stamped with the
Approval of Fashion.
NEW YORK, March 11.-Wool and linen
are the materials that will be predominant
In spring wardrobes. Less silk will be worn
than ever before, save as trimming. All
this is due to a sudden inspiration on the
part Of manufacturers to prove what alto
gether lovely goods challie, barege and
worsted grenadines can be when woven very
soft, fine and wide, and decorated with in
finite taste. Nc silks so far seen show any
thing In figuring to compare with these
wooden materials. though foulards are ev-
identity bound to have another season Of
patronage.
The challies for '97, as one may properly
call them, are distinguished for their satin
stripings. either six or eight broad bright
bands running lengthwise of every yard,
or. prettier still, groups OF the tiny shining
lines, while a few very new bolts OF goods
show satiny dots, dice and dashes. In color
ings the challies vary from the richest COM
mingling of the handsomest oriental tones
up to clear high lights in adorable lilac,
rose, faint greens and tender blues, that
are destined to form the most enchanting
afternoon and evening gowns. The sheen
Of the omnipresent satin stripe lends them
IN unusual brllliancy and value, which,
when combined with the new ribbons and
laces. brings out results that can hardly be
appreciated from mere descriptions.
Fantastic vines, minute dresden patterns,
bourbon bouquets, interviewer Persian, and
what are called pallet designs, appear in
countless bright tints on these light wool
surfaces with their dark backgrounds. The
pallet designs are nothing more than a con-
glomerate weaving in OF five or six

AN AMERICAN BEAUTY ABROAD.

%hN'
Bears OF the Beauty Palm of the
Victorian Era.
Some Londoner remarked recently that
the handsomest women who would go down
to history in the British book OF beauty
would be Americans. aud moreover he de-
clared that among these Lady Grey-Edger-
ton would probably bear of the palm.
This lovely American spent much OF her
time during the last season In London In
posing for a portrait, a copy or which mas
now been made for the volume containing
all the noted British beauties OF the Vic
torian era.
The painting was executed by Percy An
derson, whose portrait Of the princess OF
Pless has already become famous.
Lady Edgerton's portrait now hangs In
the National gallery among the master
pieces of Romney, Reynolds and Lely. The
picture shows her In a pose similar to that
shown In the reproduction given here.
Unlike many great beauties she has the
good fortune to take an excellent photo-
graph; but no ~colorless counterfeit could
convey the richness Of a complexion, dark,
but exqulsitely clear and rosy, nor the won
drous lights and shadows lurking in her
eyes and hair. There is about her face and
figure a charming girlishness that would
never suggest to the stranger the fact that
she has now been married more than half
a dozen wears. and is the mother of three
children. She has been spending the winter
In Ceylon as the guest Of Sir West and Lady
Ridgway at the government house, Sir West
being the present governor Of Ceylon. She
will pay a visit to America this spring and
will be entertained by the Bradley-Martins
in New York. and by many old friends In
Washington, her home before her marriage,
when she was Miss May Cuyler. Most OF
her education, however, was received abroad.
She had birth and beauty, but no money to
speak of, and so her marriage to her hand
some young husband was a genuine love
match

One corner of the drawing is shaded to in
dictate the manner In which the solid en-
broidery work is to- be done, and IL a re-
lief is desired, 1t can be obtained by filling
the design under the silks used for the
work.
OF the great variety Of good and service
able materials on which to embroider, there
is nothing better than a good quality OF
round thread handspun linen having a firm

Such linen can be had at almost any large
dry goods and at the art needle-work shops
In the principal cities.

and earning more wages than are paid to the
cash girl. Every now and then a man who
has put an advertisement for an office boy
in the paper finds among the applicants a

does not take kindly to the idea, and the

against the idea, just as at
first the men were prejudiced against the
idea of employing women as stenographers
or typewriters.
Those who have had office girls in their
employ are, however. very wei pleased with
them, and most of them who have tried

they have an office boy around the premises.
