INVITING SWIFT VENGEANCE.
other Houses Visited by Negro Who
Frightened Miss Green.

The sCath part of town seems
peculiarly favorable to the designs
of the negro prowler who fcighten
ed Miss Susie Green so badly the
other night.
The same miscreant has been
seen at other places since Wednes'
day night, peering through win
dows and creeping around houses,
and it is only question of time
until he is greeted by charge of
buckshot as a reward for his I'M
welcome curiosity.
Thursday night he entered the
home of Mrs. Martin. a widow, liv.
ing in the south part of town, and
awakened her by pulling the cover
ing from her bed. Fortunately her
brother was staying at her house
that night, and came quickly to
her assistance, but the negro He'd
at the first alarm.
The description given by Miss
Green is the best yet obtained of
this nocturnal prowler, as he has
thus far avoided any close iDspec-
ton by those who have discovered
him about their premises.
That he is bent on evil is evil
dent from his overt acts, aud that
he is inviting swift vengeance is
certain. People soon lose patience
with one whose persistent determi'
nation to frighten, if not to injure,
defenseless women evinces mind
bent on mischief and perhap;
crime.

dued shades, printed veilings, muslins,

will be the main features of white

Then there is 10 be an evolution Of
tailor-mad that is to say, this feni
nine style is to be more deliberately
trimmed, and to be made of materials
not hitherto used for this purpose; fou-
lards, canyasses, tamise and taffetas
being used in the makeup Of the class
of tailor made, rendering them quite
new and becoming.
Dresses in preparation are long and
full round the bottom and appear as
though the wearer was rolled in an an
tique drapery, so soft and flexible are
the materials used for this style.
Another thing that will render this
seasons fashions extremely pleasing is
that, in spite of the enyeloping fulness
of the skirt, the purity of the line and
simplicity of aspect are maintained,
especially in regard to the bust and
hips. If this simplicity appears exag-
gerated, the richness and refinement of
the details continue. Elaborate braids,
rare guipures, incrustations and artis-
tic embroderies nothing has been re-
garded as too costly to enrich ladies

enormous extent this season. Some
lovely ones are incrusted with butter
flies of lace. rows of fiounces overlap
ping and cut in indentations filled with
, frilled lace founces. These petticoats
to be made in the fashion, must be ex-
tremely fluffy round the bottom.
Others, more useful, are made Of
wide linen flounce, incrusted with lace
and made upon ground of bright-col-
ored taffetas-pink, blue, mauve or
straw color, which should be selected
to match the color of the skirt.
To wear with foulard dresses, many
petticoats are made of the same mater
ials, with wide accordion pleats and
edged with ruches of muslin to match;
this gives more stylish aspect to the
dress, for the skirts are so long that
they nearly always have to be held up;
the richness of the petticoat therefore,
should never be neglected, and it ought
to be always in character with that of
the dress
AS soon as the fine days set in there
will be a display of colored shoes,
which have been worn continually on
the azure coats Drab and yellow shoes,
with stockings to match, will be the
most worn. Remember, my dear, that
white shoes make the feet look ex-
tremely large, and should be chosen
with the greatest judgment.
The fashion of American shoes, so
long, thin and becoming, with high up
pers and soft, fine soles has quite taken
root in Paris. They are extremely
light, and at the same time quite sub
stantial enough, for the soles are made
of compressed leather.

DESCRIPTION OF DRESSES.

On this page Is reproduced model
of dress for the Concours iHippique at
Paris. 1t is of Ophelia mauve crepon of
a most delicate and becoming shape.
he corsage is slightly blouse shaped,
and has fat stitched pfeats. A band of
stitching crossing forms the fastening
The navy collar, ornamented with ochre
guipure, is beneath these bands. The
yoke is of linen and guipure. The
sleeves widen considerably at the bot
tom, and are crenelated, the under
sleeves of ochre colored guipure. The
skirt, which is very tight has a group
of stitched pleats behind which gives
fitness at the bottom. The apron is
edged with guipure, and a band of the
same kind runs around the skirt at the
height of the knee.
These dresses, which end in shaped
fiounce, are nearly always lined as far
as the head of the fiounce: at this point
the lining separates from the skirt and
is trimmed round the bottom with small
fluffy flounces, which meet the require
ments of fashion, namely, skirts very
high at the top and very "froufrou" and
full at the bottom.
The principal dresses worn by Mime
Rejane in ia Pente Douce,' the new
piece at the Vaudeville, Paris. are also
shown. One is the dress worn in the
first act, a dinner dress of straw-colored
mouseline de soie cut by Ecru Venice
lace. The breast is starred withda-
monds falling down, and to them are
attached rows of pearls, which are at
tached at the shoulder at the other end

skirt is long and enveloping.

and forms clond round the bottom OF
the skirt. The decollete is raped with
white tulle tied on a scarf and mixed
with rose leaves. The corsage is in
crusted with lace and small muslin
roses. The skirt is trimmed in the
same style.
The third model is an opera dress of
black tulle in the princess style, en-
broidered with jet and spangles. The

You may ask me, my dear, to give
You thousand and one details about
the budding of the spring fashions. l
shall be very pleased to satisfy your
curiosity, quite natural in coquette,
in the midst of country life, and far
from the whiri and movement of Paris.
| must first tell you, however, that the
shocking weather that we have had has
never once left us during February and
March, and has prevented me from adj
miring the sensational creations any
where but at the dressmaker's, which is
not always sufficient to enable one to
predict with any certainty the fashions
of the morrow.
1t is pleasant to think that the great
dressmakers cannot altogether impose
fashions on their clients at their good
pleasure. Certainly, they inspire and
create the models; but how varied they
frequently are, differing in kind and in
style; the result is that q bold limo
walton does not become the faSnlon I'M
til it has been adopted by some leader
of society.

and everyone bowed to its sway; now it
