OUR NEW YORK LETTER.
TwiXt Lamb and Lion; Lenten Sack
cloth and Easter Emery.

Well Prince Henry has left us to our
own devices once more. Miss Alice Roose.
welt has gone to Cuba Instead Of to King
Edwards cornation. and we turn TO such
incidents. events and tragedies as make
up the full complement OF a varied and
complex existence in this busy portion OF
the big Western Hemisphere. District
Attorney Jerome has his hands full OF
troublesome business, and his mouth full
OF bitter denunciation on general priuci-
pies: and between murder mysteries ind
other perplexing matters. New York ha.
more to chew on than IL is likely to have
to drink in the face OF humping excise
law.
AS for March, she came in with a smile
perchance she will 60 out with a frown.
The big North river lies TRANQUILITY between
roar and ripple while she is sustaining
evenly her dual personality OF lion and
lamb The churches call us to prayer
and repentance. More definitely may we
deem assured TO us that eternal weight
OF glory II conscience brings us to the
feet of the Leo. with sorrow earnest and
true for sins committed omitted or con.
templated while conscience slept"
Beyond the Alps lieth our Italy. "
Likewise beyond the Sombre star-shine of
Lent we will hope to bask in the glowing
sunlight Of Easter But alas in this New
York climate of appalling uncertainties
there is always the prospect Of getting
ones dainty clothes spoiled by a spiteful
downpour on the greatest day of the
Christian year. Thus. as June, according
to the Irishman. is the best month to 90
Maying. so by that some token April out
hts had better be aired in May
Cotton costumes. with skirt and blouse
OF the same material, will be much in
evidence
Pin tucks appear upon most everything
silk, stuff and wash waists and upon the
finer varieties of under wear
Appliques of lace outline yokes. bre.
telles and Elton jacket effects also edge
cuffs and collar of the waist
Plain and figured materials unite in
many dainty wash gowns shown by Lord
& Taylor.
While all the pretty patterns of organ
die chambray. high'art ginghams. lawns,
cambrics. etc, will have prominence, yet
white materials have first choice for sep.
arate summer wash waists. They can be
laundered indefinitely. yet come forth like
new from each ordeal. Frequent wash.
ings work havoc with delicate designs and
colorings.
The spring season brings out some lovely
novelties in the way of wall paper. One
in particular shows a green trellis covered
with wisteria vine bearing blossoms al.
most as large as nature. Good sized por.
tions OF the trellis are revealed. and its
close lattice-work is very effective
Little Morris chairs are shown for
children. They are very pretty and well
calculated to induce luxurious habits OF
reclining. even in restless childhood.
Fine underware is so reasonable in price
nowadays that those in even the most moder.
ate circumstances can afford to have
plenty of it. AS for corsets,-well. the
supply Of the fetching "R. & G." brand is
never likely TO run low. for the demand is
such that il would not be allowed to do So
Well fitting corset covers are essential
also to the perfect set of the waist. Old
time chemises much be-ruffied with finest
lace and embroidery and with rich rare
lnsets OF lace are revived. They are we'll
liked by some. and offer decided advan-
tages to all, inasmuch as they proven, any
parting company of ones underpinning at
the waist.
Skirts are cut with nine cores. fit well
ABOUT the hips and flare below the knees
pretty change in stocks occur in the
new collars with pointed fronts.
Flowers. ribbon bows butterhio, and
jewelled aigrettes ornament the hair.
