A Few Notes of Spring Fashions

stocks of self-material will be used, and>also tailored stocks of black silk Those under the latter head are es- pecially good this year. rather small and quite high. We are to wear the high stock for shirt-waists, and with the lingerie blouse may, if the throat be pretty enough. affect the round Dutch neck, use no collar or stock at all.
 At a matinee the other day the star wore some fetching spring gowns. and one. a morning frock, was very charm ing. It was a gray-blue pongee shirt waist suit: the skirt. untrimmed. fit ting close about the hips and some ar rangement of pleats giving fullness to the lower part; the waist was a simple pleated model. the belt of self-materisl, as remember. The neck was a little low, and there was a collar of lace al a point in front by dark blue four-in- hand tie. a pretty negligee touch.
 A few hats have blossomed forth, and again we are to wear flower gar- dens on our heads. One model noticed this morning was of apple-g green straw, small ratber longish turban. low crowned: peeping from the brim at in- dentations here and there vas a half blown rose. American Beauty shade. and yelling the exuberanee of red some green maline was drawn over the flowers. IL was much preitier than the description tells. the ooloring soft and effective. The bird of paradise is seen even in spring millinery. but in all probability will not be generally taken to.
 Elbow and three-qusrter sleeves are the order of the day. as fashionable if not more % than last year. It is hard nov to get a coat with a long sleeve. Very nice booking rain coats are sp- pearine. a touch of color in collar and cuffs that proves welcome-vhy should a rainy day De entirely given over fo gloom.

DRESS REFORM IN 1892.
Four "Don'ts",. Proposed as . Start
 in the Right Di- Ey .rsction.

A coterie of ladies at Amsterdam edit . periodical paper called the ''Duphrosyne." It was this paper which first proposed the creation of . national costume for the female lieSes of the Dutch sovereign; and its .ex- ample has been followed by a coterie of gentlemen, who now publish . Journal for the promotion of. ma tonal costume. for the gentlemen. and tho encouragement of national industry"
 If American editors would but en- sage in this cause with the zeal of the worthy mynheers, we should con Adently expect success in this matter of national costume. Now we can only hope.
 However, VI will propose few rules in our department of regulating female costume, as . sample of our taste. These will be prohibitory mere ly. Every person knows the necessity of eradicating or exposing false no. tions before enforcing right ideas.
 ]. No lady shall wear more than seven distinct colors in her dress at the same time-that being enough to form . rainbow.
 2. No lady shall wear colored or clouded stockings with . white dress.
 3. No married lady shall appear in . pink bonnet (We should like to extend this prohibition to all ladies bver 14.)
 1. No lady, who hopes to be mar ried. shall wear the hem of her gown above her ankles.-Ladies. Magazine, 1882.

IN THE MAORI LAND.

The Rotorua Geyserland-Health and Pleasure Resort-The Government Bathing Establishment - 0il-
 Bath at Whakarewarewa.


 Far down in the Great South Seas. where the long. mountainous islands of New Zealand rise from the deepest of the worlds ocean, is the most wonder ful boiling water region known. the Rotorua Geyserland, generally called the Hot Lakes" district.
 The center of population is Rotorua, a pretty town situated on the shores of Rotorua lake. It is about eight hours run by daily train from Auckland City, the port of call for the San Fran cisco mail-steamers, and as health and pleasure resort Rotorua possesses incalculable advantages.
 Near the lake shores, where the medicinal springs bubble up in inex- haustible volume, is the government bathing establishment. under the care

PRETTY LINGERIE.

A tiny neckpiece of ermine will be worn with spring street gowns. and add pretty touch to these dresses. these dresses which are perhaps as well esteemed as any of the apparel donned during the year. The new spring gown means much more than merely new gown-it means spring is coming and summer, the gala time of the year.
 Hats are to riot in color, the straws gayest of the gay. the posies trying to be even more so. A season of color, we are sure to have. And we would mention that there is new brown, very unlike the sober tones we are ac- customed to associate with this color; it has so much life 1t might well be called orange. And another new shade is chamois, recently we were shown a chamois colored Pongee frock, coat set of by black velvet collar and cuffs; and we voted it very smart indeed. most becoming to the dark-haired girl 1t adorned.
 Coats as rule are very short, mere boleros, but there are some Empire wraps in light weight materials. The Empire dress is more than ever in favor, and we should give word of advice concerning the corset and un- derwear to be worn with this style of gown. It is ridiculous to attempt to wear a short waisted Empire over a corset like the one in favor for some time back. Our illustration shows a good Empire ichef1ise, the waist con fined about as 1t would be in the over dress. And we picture a combination corset-cover and skirt designed to be worn with the fashionable princess gown. The separate corset-cover shown has puffed sleeves, a good feature for an undergarment designed for wear with soft lingerie blouse, the fullness at the shoulder helping do away with the limp look often seen in these oth- erwise very satisfactory fancy blouses.
 White pongee is beautiful fabric and one much appreciated this season.

A white pongee princess untrimmed save for bit of thread lace on the bodice, is in excellent style. The Rajah silks are very artistic, and there is a good imitation which sells at retail for about half-a-dollar a yard. Whether or not the latter is really washable we cannot say. It comes in exquisite shades. Chinese embr0ideries are ap- propriate for pongee. and the Chinese blues set of the white goods excellent ly we'll. Doubtless this season in the cities all the Chinese shops, from big establishment to humblest, will be raided by 'Melicafi woman in search of odd bit of needlework. Heavy and rich ly colored Armenian embroideries, marked with silver and gold threads. are attractive, the heavy embroidery done on gauzy material. Jewelled buckles and slides are another novelty that promise to give tone to the styles of the day. Applied trimmings in col- OTIS are effective when used sparingly, wholesale use reminds of patchwork. Bits of sky blue or old pink linen ap- piled with fancy stitches. may be made to trim very prettily.
 A new silk petticoat rufled quite to the knees is offered, and is recommend ed to give just the desirable fullness. Shot silk is again favored for petti- coats, and harmonizing with the gown yet giving contrast too, is a pleasant change from the one-tone fashion so popular lately. s.A-... F It will be quite the thing to have a skirt of check or invisible plaid and a short plain jacket repeating a tone in the skirt. This is the approved walk ing suit of the day. the hat harmoniz- ing with the costume. showing the two tones in the suit. For walking dresses light weight materials are preferred, these substantial enough and yet not of a weight to cumber. Now that skirts are made so full. 1t would be impos- sible to use wools of much weight. Madame, if she chose, may dress fash ionably and comfortably.

CAT AND RAT FELLOW PETS
In Peace They Share the Honor of
 Being a Warship's Nascots.

A sailor approached the oficer of the deck after retreat on board the Chi cago recently and said. saluting: Sir. may l have permission to go to the Saturn?"
 What for?" said that officer, relates the Honolulu Commercial Advertiser.
 "To get the cat." was the reply.
 That cat is the pet of the ship. When the flagship went to Hilo. the cruisers cat stayed behind to get ac- quainted with the cats of the tropics. He evidently got pretty well acquaint- cd. for when the cruiser returned and -the cat came back" he was 8 battle scared veteran.
 Beside the cat, the battleship boasts . rat. Not a plague rat. but white rat from Bremerton, Wash. That rat Is also a pet, and is glossy. well-fed, well-mannered rodent. as white as driven snow. The sailor who seems to be his special guardian says that the more he pounds the rat the better he likes him.
 He crawls all over the boys. takes his cigarette smoke like Spanish sen- orita, and makes himself quite at home wherever he is. But he never gets 'shore leave"
 The cat and the rat are the best of friends. Once in awhile the rat gets little too familiar to suit his cat ship and bites the cats lips with his sharp teeth. Then the cat looks pained and turns up his eyes to the boys for sympathy. He never seems to think of such . thing as eaung up his com- panion.

THE BALLOONING FAD
Aero Club Airships In Way

GALE TAXES GREAT SILKEN BALLS
Thousands Sadly Disappointed When Aeronauts Could Not Sail skyward.
 Wind Stole stevens' New Cre- ation and Leyee's Hope.'

PITTSFIELD, Mass, March F. - The bowling northwestern which held western Massachusetts in its grip swept Leo Stevens new balloon some where out toward the sound into the darkness of night and tore NJ. Leyee's big gas bag to ribbons.
 Fully 5000 people were disappointed when the gale made 1t impossible for Stevens and Levee to ascend. It was not until nightfall that it was decided by both aeronauts that it would be foolh axAs.knaAtGnpt a flight. A small pilot balloon which had been sent aloft about two hours earlier had barely es- capped small grove to the southeast and had only just cleared Mount Whit ney and Mount October to the east ward and southward The wind, which howled down through the foothills at fifty mile clip, appeared to press the balloon down for the first three miles or so. It rose just in time to clear the hills.
 The officials of the Aero club. who were on the ground, Mir. Post and Mfr. Bishop. are satisfied that the gas made by the Pittsield Coal Gas company has the required buoyancy and can be furnished in sufficient quantities.
 After Mir. Bishop had been compelled to postpone the race ascensions both balloons were left In the field behind the gas works. Each bag was emptied of about half it's gas. The net which confines the bag and to which the bas- ket Is hung was anchored to the ground by ballast bags, containing in the aggregate nearly half ton to each balloon.
 Several men were left 10 watch the balloons. which were thought to be safe. the indications being that the gale had about blown itself out In- stead of that It grew steadily In inten- sity. and a sudden squaIl caused the loss of Mir. Stevens new balloon. and before the men. who had sought shel- ter wherever they could find II. could seize the balloon the wind had caused if to turn almost complete somer- sault. The bag slipped from out of the bottom of the net and was whirled aloft like a wiihered leaf in the March gale For ten or fifteen minutes it could be seen in the bright moonlight. Then it disappeared. after having reacned a considerable altitude. trav- cling almost directly toward Worces- ter.
 While the vstchmen were attempting f, secure the Stevens balloon the squail had played a similar prank with LAl- Ioueffe. Ievee's balloon. Slipping from inc meshes Of the net like a hsh. ii nearly got completely away. It noated oa horizontally instead of vertically, and the rapidly escaping gas prevented t from soaring.
 After a chase of sbout q quarter Of mile iftecame eniangied in some trees. Befcrp the arrival of the pursuing ws,ehmen the wind had whipped the siIk covering into threadiike ribbons.

 Most wonderful of all the Geyserland sights is the strange boiling lake of Rotomahana, close to the great geyser basin of colossal Waimangu. On Ro- tomahana there is unique experience for the traveller-a cruise in a govern ment motor-yacht across sheet of boiling water, enyeloped by clouds of vapor and surrounded by thudding and hissing steam vents and spouting geysers. It is very weird but per fectly safe excursion, and many hun dreds of people now enjoy the bizarre trip every summer.
 A great charm of the hot lakes is the interesting Maori life. By the shores of the blue romantic lakes, and in many scattered out-villages. live the natives of the Arawa nation, still pre- serving many picturesque custom and trait of other days. Their home-ways. their songs and dances, their arts Of wood-carying and mat-weaving, their skill with the canoe-paddle, are nev- er-ending source of attraction to the pakeha visitor.
