SPRINGTIUE HINTS.
NEW DESIGNS FOR WARM WEATHER
sILKS-SIMPLE TAILOR GOWNS.

Indications are that moire and pompadour styles
will be favored in silks for spring wear, and that
transparent woolIen goods. such as grenadines and
etamnes, will be immensely popular. It is proba-
Bile. too, that the open meshed goods Will be made
over silk of different color, instead Of the self
color that has been in for year or two.
Fancy silks promised for entire gowns, as well
as for waists. These will be generally of soft fin
ish and decided twill. rather than Of taffeta.
Printed Lbertys expected to be particularly
prominent. and Lyons goods are shown in va
riety of effects For Innings nothing take the
place OF taffeta with its crispness and body. Silk
warp goods also becoming somewhat popular.

on the edging of each of which is a narrow and

Cloth suits for street wear are to be simply made
the coming season, relying for their distinction
upon the fine quality of the material and the per-
fection of fit. The extremely light weight cloths,
however, for calling and matinee gowns will be
made as decorativey as heretofore. A favored en-
oellishment for these is embroidery either Of the
color of the fabric or in contrast The color
chosen for embroidery is carefully shaded from
light TO dark, and the effect is extremely good.

SAVING TINE FOR JURORS AND TEACHERS.

Controller Grout in the last week has made two
changes in the office methods of the Finance De-
partment of the city that mean great saving of
time in the aggregate to those having business
dealings with the city. Heretofore jurors in Kings
County have been required to ask personally for
their checks in payment for serving juries Now
the checks sent TO their addresses. Heretofore
the four hundred school principals in the city
made personal visits to the Controllers office and
collected the checks for the teachers in their
speetive schools. Hereafter every month the checks
will be delivered by express companies to the prin-
cipals at the various school buildings.
Il figure" said Controller Grout yesterday. that
in the of the Brooklyn Jurors, where there
three hundred more appointed each week of
thirty-five weeks. each man in getting his check
from the city would spend at least half hours
time. Very likely IL would amount to more than
that on an average. But, estimating II at half an
hour for every juror. have waste OF go hours
of time which be much better employed than
by hanging around city departments with nothing
TO do The four hundred school principals in getting
their bundles of checks probably spent nearer half
a day each. and this in the course of school year
would mean an aggregate OF 5000 hours for the
principals. All such matters are worth looking
after"

Attorney Unger has brought about one thou
