a USEFUL DRESS.
The serviceable gown, the toilet that
fits into every breach and is admissible
on all occasions. is still black 1t has
an underskirt and waist Of black silk,
that, by preference is not taffeta, but
that is cut to fit and appear like a
princess slip, tight on the hips and
wide at the foot. Over this falls rather
coarse black silk honeycomb Russian

with spangies or with three sizes of
black silk braid. The braid is rather

large, fanciful figures over the drop

plays richness OF effect that is al
ways agreeable. IF it is made up so
that the sleeves can be removed and
the top of the waist lifted out, it can
serve equally well as a grand dinner or
sober church costume. With gowns like
these-and they are tremendously pop

brightest outfit, with some jeweled
pendant string on the lowest chain. and

THE FAVORITE SPRING HAT.
Early in the winter the hat that

due of favoritism and flattery. It's sue
cessor in the spring viii be an airy
thing of silk muslin or tulie set on the
side Of the head, and with wide
spangled brim turned UP on all sides
equally. Already we see some lucky
women. who have their headgear all
hot from Paris wearing these delicate
glittering crowns, but meantime q great
