OUR NEW YORK LETTER.
"IIappy Days" Mathematics And Mat
rimony; A Good Corset; Current
Chatter.

These are veritable happy days, even here
IN the city, cut off from the aHluent yegeta-
ton OF the country, and the sight and sound
OF Understandable rural sweetness. Our
streets TEEN at eyenlide with the ioyousness
OF early Summer; here and there we hear
young, manly voices blended in chorus
songs; the inkle Of mandolin comes 10 us
through some opened window. Children
play games and disport themselves in bliss
Undesirable until called in TO bed. Only
this morning read the report Of some
siatislieian in domestic ethics, who declares
husbands are more loving to their wives in
Summer than Winter. As for lovers, they
don double-breasled capacity for spooning
when the mercury begins to get up in the
world.
Which reminds me: More seniors at Vassar
have 'fessed mp" to being engaged. this
year, than ever before. The persons con.
tending that there is neompalibility between
mairimony and higher mathematics, can
retire to the background, and give Cupid
the right Of way. When an educated woman
takes hold of the household helm, she runs
things scientifically, as a matter of course j..
II is fine thing to be able to apply the law
OF course and effect to every detail of the
domes,ie machinery.
The other day friend conhded to me
that eorsets were the bane Of her existence.
She had tried every French specimen on the
market, and was so d.sgusted with all of
them that she went TO private eorsettiere,
VINO charged her n ruinous price for making
be-ribboned affair which had to be altered
several times, and still fitted abominably
because, as she plaintively remarked, sit
was not made right in the first place !"
SERVES you right" replied. "why do
you bother with foreign brands OF domestic
amateurs when we have our own American
X. & g., which fits perfectly, wears in
definitely keeps its shape to the last, and is
the very acme of grace and style, because it
was made right in the first place"
Aecordion-plea,ed skirts are the rage.
All materials-save the heaviest class of
Winter fabrics-which we are not botherinp
about at Present-lend themselves gracefully
to this form of adjustment Collarless
waists are fashionable, but for ladies whose
necks are almost too swan-like for this STYLE.
dainty little separate necklets are provided
With pink gown, for instance, may be
worn a neeklet collar composed of FIVE
strands of coral beads with coral bell pen
dant. This may also be worn with a white
or black gown.
Mothers are interested ia silk duck-a
new material which makes up beautifully
into coats and substantial costumes. II
shows a smooth, even weave, and is as dur
able as burlingame silk; but by no means as
stiff or heavy.
a charming gown shown by Lord and
Taylor, is of dotted French Swiss, with
tucked vest of white mousseline de sole
touched with black velvet bow knots. There
is a fetching little bolero, trimmed with
three-inch bands of fine Val lace.
Pastel blue is a color which shows up at
traetiveiy in linen. BY the way, linen suits
are provided for travellers. They are
developed in some dark color, with inch.
vide linen belts TO correspond. As they
are cool and shed dust easily, ladies will
accord them especial consideration.
Pink is a Summer color. II shows so
many shades that most any complexion can
find an adaptive tint.
Pharoah linen, which resembles sacking.
is a favorite material
Black patent leather bags are carried with
white gowns. The cute little beads bags
are considered wonderfully smart. They
are so expensive, however, that any lady
who has some attentive friend to make one
for her. is considered most fortunate.
