YcBtonlny Iwns tnenndcring along Fourteenth street looking for Item, when I wiw 11 crowd of Imlloii, young anil old, congregated beforo ono liirgt aliow window, cncli IIOSIK TOILETS, pushing nnd elbowing tho other niul (draining to get n nearer View of some thing thoro displayed. I looked nt them contemptuously ami thought to myself "l)ontict8," but tin I was In tho net of panning indifferently by I noticed thnt it wasn't tho bonnet window, nnd then I concluded to bco what It wan. I had to wait Hfliiio tlmo, but nt Inst I reached tho window nnd found thnt nil this c.vcito munt wnn duo to four unlocked waists which wen? hIiowii upon figures. They vei) of surah sill;, ono white, ono dark brown, ono pink nnd tho other nago green. Tho yokes wero inndo pointed nnd wero dono simply by the smocking, lenvlng tho fullness for tho wnlst. This was then gathered in u bolt, leaving n rufllo about four Inches deep below. Tho sleeves wero smocked threo Inches deep nt elbow nnd waist nud this loft tho rest puffed. Wo linvo been familiar with smocking for somo time, but theso wnlstn wero bo beautifully dono nnd bo novel iu form, that ovcry woman who saw them doubt less determined to go right homunnd mnkoono for herself. ThN pattern of smocking was dono in honeycomb pat tern nnd sown with whito Bowing Bilk iu such n wny mi to look us if each sewed plnco was n bend. Theso nro to be large ly worn during tho summer by young ladies, nnd they nro peculiarly adapted to slim young llgurcs, nnd they will bo worn iu tho street as well tin tho house. Whilo I was nbout to lenvo the spot n enrringo drove- tip from which descended Mrs. Cornelius Vnndurbllt. nnd I could not help renrirklng tho new stylo of enr rlago clonk dress which sho wore, und I SPItlNO WALKINQ COSTUME. recalled to mind thnt I hnd heard just such gowns mentioned by nn uptown dressmaker, though I had seen nono bo fore. This cloak dress was of rough beaver, as to tho back of it, und tho back breadths extended into a demi-trnln, bordered nt tho bottom with a heavy silk cord. It was dark bluo in color. Tho front breadths of tho cloth wero cut narrow in rcdingoto shape, so as to cxposo tho un derskirt, which was of fnillo of a rich mahogany brown, laid in narrow plaits from top to bottom. The waist front Inid back iu wido pointed lapels, nnd tho spneo wus tilled In by n very full ruff of Brussels jioint Thero wero six enor mous buttons, threo on each sldo of tho wnlst. Tho fcthlon of having RJjsbtablotrnln3 is also being revived, though now, In stead of liclug buttoned under tho drap ery nt tho bottom of tho skirt, thoy aro fastened at tho waist with n pin or largo buckle nnd let fnll from there, looso nnd free from tho skirt liko a court train, nnd whilo It tuny differ from tho underskirt it must at least rescmblo tho corsage of tho gown. Tho trains nro lined with satin or silk nnd laid in heavy plaits at the waist. Dresses for homo wear show very littlo attempt nt drapery, nnd tho back breadths aro usually cither shirred or simply pleated, and in front thero may bo panel cllVcte, or a slight lifting or tho skirt nt 0110 sido to show tho under skirt, and tho looso Fedora stylo for tea gowns and 6omo few enshmcro dresses. Ono of the most exquisite dresses mado this senson has just been finished for Miss Ilnrgous, who is tho belle of till tho debutantes of New York. It is of silver gray cluirctto and has a partial princess effect. It lias a rich embroidering in black silk down tho front and on tho bottom of tho left sldo, and tho pretty waist is trlmmul by a high band of 1 J lilll Kf HI w:MHwM Mil 1 black vi'lvet. which Isulso tucd for other gnrnl'tiii wheiever applicable. Another very tasti'ful and stylish homo dm Is made In the directolro style, and Is of the new satin face broadcloth in wood brown, Tho facings nnd belt aro of puli-blue satin nnd the waistcoat of lacoithedniiedoverHkirt Is of tho striped combination, matching tho bottom in blue and brown, looped with n gilt buckle. One peculiarity nbout tills Is thnt the bottoms of both skirts nro fur nished with miw tooth edges. Hither of these would ho exceedingly pretty mado up In tho lovely spring cotton goods. I noticed yesterday In ono of tho whole snlo houses hundreds of rolls of new seer suckers In nil the daintiest new tints. Theso goods nro practically Indestructi ble, liko tho silk warp Henriettas, nnd they nro excellent value- for ovcry day summer wear. Thero arc ulso many now effects In alpaca. Iu tho line brllllnntlno quality, which Is very Iwiutiful. It Is seen used In very many Paris costumes, particularly In tho directolro tioloimiscs or cosita, nnd though it docs not fnll bo softly In folds ns enshmcro und other kindred goods It will still bo much worn, for It Ih not easy to soli or wt Inkle nud dust or dirt will not adhere to It. The price of this runs from 50 cents to $2 per yard, but this latter quality Is mora beautiful than silk. It can also bo ob tained in colors. Tho wnlklng jackets nil havo the di rectolro effects, nnd It Is n sort of n rnco ns to who shall get thu largest lajiels and buttons. lints nlso. Still thoy nro jaunty und stylish, nnd If it wasn't that it wottltl bo something else. Tho models nro tit uenvy corned hiik, with pnBso mentcrlo trimming, nnd lino sorgo with a striped velvet vest. Hustles nro very smnll. Tho handsomest now Bprlng wnlklng suits nro mado of light Indies' cloth with or without tho col ored border, slightly draped, or plaited from top to bottom. Ono is of tan color with ooruor in dark brown und cardinal. T h 0 coat is of terra 0 o 1 1 a I) o a v o r cloth richly braided. The oilier is or ar- dirkctoikb wai.kino dolso gray cloth, jackets and hats. plaited with directolro jacket of tan col ored pilot cloth, richly braided in a dnrkei shade, nnd a lighter shade than the goods. Tho lint matches tho dtess in color, ns nlso do tho gloves. Tho 6tylo Is now for gloves to match tho hat moro than tho clonk or wrap. Now wo como to tho consideration of somo of tho necessaries of life, a few of which I havo grouped together, calling upon my sister women to uphold my as sertion. First nro two dainty nnd natty littlo tea aprons mado to put on over a dress when about to servo tea to guests. Thoy can bo .kept on nfter if desired, bo causo thoy aro pretty and becoming. Ono is tnndo of cream colored silk tissuo, with embroidery of cardinal iloss nnd gold thread, and ornamented with cardi nal ribbons which rench to tho shoulder nnd nro thero fastened. Tho other is of lnco, with cherry satin garnituro and ribbon. Theso tiny aprons nro very sult nblo for younggirls, or ladies whoso dress is for tho tlmo otherwise plain. Tho laco and ribbons givo them a dressy ef fect that nothing but pretty combinations of laco nnd ribbons over achieve. Tho comb is of silver, worked in nn intricuto nnd nttractivo pattern, nnd tho pin represents nn old nud defaced coin, and both nrc to wear in tho hair. Thero aro many other fancies for tho samo pur pose but nono so artistic. Thoy. how ever, nro not bo absolutely necessary for tho happiness of womenkind ns tho pretty little bag which hangs between them, and which is mado of satin and plush, embroidered with gold nnd che nille, nnd finished with hnmlsomo silk cords and tnsselt. It would probably re quire nliout n week's labor to do this nnd cost perhaps $3 or $3, and it is for tho purposoof holding pieces of twine, which como around groceries and which might bo wasted If thero was no such bag to put it in. Truo, $3 would buy a bushel of balls of twine, and thotimo spent in making it might bo better cm ployed, but then tho satisfaction and scrcno delight of knowing that your 10- BOMU OK TUB NECESSARIES OF UFE. putntlon na nn economist Is beyond ques tion established is something. Tho bot tle Mow Is for iorfumcs nnd costs nbout six bits, but wo all know how much sweeter perfumo would bo from such n bottle, nnd, therefore, tho few day's and couplo of dollars spent In mak ing the littlo bag to cover it should not count. And thero really nro women to whom just such trifles nro necessary, so blcsa them, lot them enfov themsolvea ln their own way. Olive Harpes.
