New York, Feb 18.-The little dress maker and the engaged girl made q tour of the shops yesterday. Both were happy; they were shopping for the rousseau. The little dressmaker took the engaged girl from counter to coun- ter and showed her .'woyen air' and woven wind," delicate and transpar- ent summer tissues, more filmy than any muslin. They looked at "microbe' nets with fine, irregular meshes, and at striped and plaided silks patterned like "go-bang" boards and combining reds. greens, blues and yellows so YiYacious- iy that nothing short of a breakfast food advertisement could countenance their colors.
 Tine little dressmaker caused the en- gared girl to notice how soft and pli- able are the spring wool goods for easy draping, and how popular is the old fashioned tarlatan. They pulled over stutfs for day wear and evening wear till the counters ran pink in % shades and 40 materials and dripped with Ro- man and Russian reds and cranberry jelly color. The little dressmaker tip toed her way to certain rooms where new French models were to be peeped at, and let the engaged girl see how long the shoulder seam is now to be cut, so that the modern athlete and Alnazon may give her muscles the lie with an aesthetics sloping shoulders. They inspected sleeves severely tight an6 bare of ornament, and stood before skirts planned to give q slim, picket fence result by means of trailing draperies, closely fitted.
 They looked at the revived Yak laces. at the huge picture buttons that come

with the Louis styles and at hundreds of other things it would take page of type to mention; then the little dress maker cried out in her enthusiasm;
 'sTo think that 1 used to be little 'Fetch-and-Carry' in a black jersey and q white apron watching you meas ured, and now I myself am going to make you all these bea-u-u- tiful gowns!"
 So they sat down at a round table in restaurant to consider samples, and the little dressmaker sketched and added figures and rubbed out and made more sketches on the corners of the bill of fare.
 'T don't believe you can do better,' she said, with brows knit and pencil poised, "than to have your travelling dress of this new royal blue camefs hair. All my customers say their hus- bands like blue better than any other color"
 The engaged girl blushed and dim pied.
 I'd have quite simple French tailor gown, if 1 were you, with a smart little open jacket effect, so as to vary the toilet easily by variety of blouses Then, of course, you want skirt that won't go out of fashion quickly. No- body can cut one in these lightning change days; but the drop skirt with full length oversldrt will last as lono as anything, and probably, cut over Would you have blacb braid trimming or blaei. and metal? You'll want | small black Marquise' hat to corre- spond; I'd have very pale La France roses on il, with large black bird." "
 No; no bird :" the engaged girl shook her head, blushingly. Dick -I mean Mr. Spring Bridegroom-has made me promise not to wear birds; he says fur, feathers and beads remind him of Lo. the poor In0ian"
 ''No fur! No beadsl" The little dress maker, aghast, stopped ciphering. "Men who object 10 women's clothes ought to understand that men make the fashions"
 The engaged girl had . scrap of fine white cloth, and was holding apple green silk md Mandarin yellow against it alternately.

Welcome to the day returning.
 Dearer still as ages flow, While the torch of Faith is burning Long as Freedoms s altars glow See the hero that it gave Us,
 Slumbering on mothers breast; For the arm he stretched to save us. Be it's morn forever blest! Hear the tale of youthful glory,
 While of Britain's rescued band, Friend and foe repeat the story, Spread his fame OCT sea and land: Where the red cross, proudly streaming, Flaps above the frigate's deck, Where the golden lilies, gleaming, Star the watchtowers of Quebec. Lookl the shadow on the dial Marks the hem of deadlier strife; Days of terror, years of trial
 Scourge a nation into life. Lo, the youth became the leader! All her baffied tyrants yield; Through his arm the Lord has freed her; Crown him on the tented field. Vain is empires mad temptation; Not for him an earthly crownl He whose sword hath freed a nation Strikes the offered scepter down. See the throneless conqueror seated, Ruler by peoples choice: See the patriots task completed; Hear the fathers dying voice. By the name that you inherit.
 By the sufferings you recall. Cherish the fraternal spirit;
 Love your country first of ali Listen not to idle questions,
 If it's bands may be untied Doubt the patriot whose suggestions Whisper that It's props may slide. Fatherl we whose ears have tingled With the words of doubt and shame, We, whose sires their blood have mingled In the battles thupder-fame. Gathering, while this holy morning Lights the land from sea to sea. Hear thy counsel. heed thy warning: Trust us, while we honor thee!
