white satin and white lace guipure. A
charming little vest for wearing with
any open bodice is made of blue and
white fancy handkerchief with a green
border, tied in a knot in front, and hav-
ing a high collar.
Here is a dream of an evening gown
which comes from Paris. The bodice
and the tunic are of the softed white
Oriental satin with sprays of very
family tinted iris in pink and green
tones, slightly bleared round the tunic;
worked into it is a deep white silk
fringe, plain and unWrinkled; this is
rounded up the front and opens over
another satin underskirt, the front of
which is covered with bouillonnes of
the most delicate crepe de Chine, over
which is draped a flounce of rennais-
sance lace Each end of the flounce
starts from either side of the front
breadth, and then at the waist forms
straight line so that the extra fullness
falls in folds. The bodice which is very
petite, ends straight at the waist, show
ing marvellous combination of color.
The foundation is Chine satin. Along
the neck is some light tinted mauve
velvet, embroidered in metal threads,
while across the front comes a cross
way piece of cerulean blue velvet edged
with a row of close set diamonds. a
most artistic combination of tints. The
sleeves are as small as possible, one of
lace and one of green.
LACE BLOUSES.
Velvet bands beautify a few of the
newest lace blouses, and a very distinct

A RIBBON SEASON.
We mentioned last week that the
Easter girl would revel in ribbons.
Never before has there been such 40
craze for them. Ribbon sashes, ribbon
belts with fancy clasps, ribbons for the
hair, for the huge bows on hats, for
neckwear narrow ribbon for trimmings
of bodices, edges of f1ounces or instead
of braids and cords for designs upon
costumes and for trimming the edge of
neckties and stocks. These very narrow
ribbons have threads running along one
edge or through the middle, upon which
they are gathered. This saves a great
deal of time and insures exactness in
the gathers. The wide ribbons those
about five inches being the favortes,
are used for stocks, with not too large
bow in front and ends long enough to
reach the waist. Sometimes the bow is
omitted and the ribbon clasped together
by a fancy brooch
The polka dot is seen in ribbons as
frequently as the silk and organdie

Honor Paid to Garfield.

At the time President Garfield died,
it was known in London that Queen
Victoria had ordered the great bell of
ST. Paul's to be tolled, an honor paid
heretofore only to the memory of an
English sovereign. 1t had been long
since the sound of that bell had been
heard, and a vast crowd filled Fleet
street and Ludgate Hill waiting breath
lessly for the first strokes of its iron
tongue. The great crowd waited for
hours, and at last came the deep, full,
sonorous stroke. Instantly, as if by
magic, every hat was dotted, and, says
an eyewitness, "the change from sea
of hats to q sea of heads was most magi-
cal. The English crowd stood, while
the bell tolled, with uncovered heads, q
token of respect for the uncrowned
monarch who lay dead beyond the
ocean.-Ex.
