Nkw Youk.'Dco. CO. Yesterday I wit
looking out or my window nt tlio ninny
hued mass of humanity, as tliu wholu fo
inulo K)inlatlon of Now York pushed
nnd squeezed nnd crowded along, on boll
dny presents and bargains intent, and 1
got into n train of thought which led mo
to roviow what I know of tlio wny in
which all tlio beautiful garments and
8 odds of tliu season nro brought hero for
issenilnntion throughout tlio country,
SOME lXVt.!NSS JUST KOIt A CIIANCllC.
nnd I don't know hut it might plonso my
renders.
In tlio first place, it must Ixt piemised
Unit there are silkworm farms in many
foreign countries, and that many whole
cities are given tip to tlio production of
silks, satins, velvets and hrocades, and
others where different woolen or cotton
goods are produced almost entirely for
this market. There nro ostium ..'(I to Ih
nliout 500.000 persons engaged in the
preparation of the furs worn iv our wo
men, not counting tlio hunters or sales
peoplo, and besides the other things
shawls come from Persia and India, jew
els from everywhere, and no end of dillcr
cut articles of wearing apparel from all
tho countries on tlio face of tho globe.
I low many milliners and dressmakers,
shoemakers and other such workers
there are In Hi trope, the product of
whoso lalwr is entirely for tho American
market, thcro nro no means of finding
out, hut tho figures must mount up into
many thousands. The great steamers and
numberless ships that come into our
porta like winged caravans, all bring
enso upon case and bale upon halo of
goods to bo employed in dressing our
women, and the Ingenuity and invention
of tlio producers havo been taxed to tho
utmost to get up something new and at
tractive. Tlio colors nro as varied as tho
materials, and tho patterns are as beau
tiful as an artistic oyo and techuic.il
knowledge can make them. Bonnets
nro poeniB nnd hats whole volumes
generally bearing upon bomo pliaso of
natural history. Tliero nro curls nnd
gloves, fans and laces, ribbons, parasols,
everything known in tlio list of a wo
mans wants, nnd that list is usually
longer than nnyliody's purse.
All UicBonoods havo to be manufact
ured in wholesale, shipped to wholesalo
merchants hero in such quantities that n
visit to ono of tho largo impoi ling houses
Is a revelation. In one there nro live
floors, each 155 by 70 feet, and all nro
filled with great cases, shelves and
tables, loaded down with lolls of silk,
velvet, cloths of all kinds and piiees,
witli cloaks apparently by llio million
nnd stacks of hats from floor to ceiling,
and other things in proportion. And
thero nro hundreds of such great import
ing houses, so many that thero is a ra
dius of several blocks in tlio heart of tho
business center known as "tho dry goods
district, " which probably represents
more solid wealth than any other part
of this great city.
Each and all of these iui)ort in enor
mous quantities and sell to the retail
dealers, both hero and till over America,
nnd they bell nothing nt retail them
selves. The nuinlMjr of truckmen alone
employed in delivering those goods in
cases nt the different railway depots
would make a good sized army, and it
strikes the female beholder as rather
curious that while a man is an importer
and can handle whatever kind of goods
ho pleases, ho is as apt to have half his
grcnt liouso filled with 10 cent woolen
goods nnd il cent calicoes us with mag-,
niflccnt silks and brocades. I am sure '
every woman will feel surprised at such !
moral turpitude, just as I did. Hut
then I suppose somebody has to supply '
cheap goods. Wo can't all be million
aires, nnd many aro glad to get tlio j
cheapest grades for Instance, writers, '
farmers' wives and ministers' helpmeets.
I always call a minister's wife a "help
meet," and his children "babes." 1
think it sounds more respectful and con
soling. After tho spring, summer or fall or

Hrondwny from Tenth street to Twenty-third,
nnd Fourteenth street frcm
lirondwny to Sixth avenue, nnd SUth
nventfo from Fourteenth street to Twon-ty-thlrd
street hold tho mast of tlio stores
of any prominence, nnd what cannot bo
found In tho wny of personal adornment
hero cannot bo found in tho world, for
everything beautiful, costly or artlstlo
has an exemplar somowhero among
these stores. Artlstlo furniture, hrlc-n-brao,
carpets, pictures nnd jewelry nro
nlso represented in tho most maguilicent
articles In each line, nnd nir stores,
shoes, laces, gloves, lints and Isinnctfl.
dresses, cloaks and dress goods, as well
As tho million and one other articles
which custom nnd fashion havo made
necessary for femiulno adornment. And
tho monoy to pay for all these beautiful
things has to bo earned by tho Hweat of
tho brow of tho head of tho family.
And what aro tho newest fashions
which aro causing such a movement?
Oh, I'm coming to them. Ono of them,
for instance, was n bonnet of a rich
green velvet, with nseriesoflittlostarsand
moons, dots and letters of the alphabet,
out out of cream colored felt ami dotted
nil over tho ciown. This reminded the
beholder irresistibly of those little bits
of culinary ai tides ono llnds in tho
soup made of macaroni paste called
"noodles." Thin strips of tlio felt were
gathered into a mass of loops on the ton,
intermingled with velvet Isiws. It
looked like half Ixilled vermicelli. I
know tho I'idy who paid twenty-threo
dollars for that, and I can vouch for her
sanity on oidiuary subjects.
A very pretty gray velvet bonnet has
a band ol dark gray embossed velvet
down tho center of tho crown. Tho
trimming is of two pigeons' wings In dif
ferent shades of gray.
Some of the most expensive though
least striking bonnets and turbans aro
made of Persian brocade. Tills is usu
ally in dark colors, like green and
brown, woven in a very close pattern,
with heienud there a gold thread show
ing. Tlie material is stilf nnd the bon-
nets more ecnave than becoming.
A few young ladies fasten their feather
or fur boas to the back of their hats
and let (he ends lie loosely in front. I
havo yet to learn how they hold their
hats on unless, indeed, they nail them
fast to their heads, lxing veils aro tied
around the hat in front and brought
down at the right sideand fastened tliero
in u sailor's half hitch and tho ends left
looso.
Tlio beautiful Russian blue is seen in
velvet, in cashmere, and in cloth, and is
very becoming.
It is often seen In

new I riH'iulcs for dresses have llowors
and figures eight and ten inches long,
and those on tho cmbosbcd velvet nro
simply enormous.
On the other hand, the majority of
diesses are marked by quiet good taste,
which lends to the choice of small pat
terns and delicate or quiet colors Still,
if a lady is going to a da 1 1 or an opera (o
be seen, she wants something that will
prove how much money she has snent.
