Boute people nro surprised that tho stato

(Special Correspondence,
New York, May 0. Nothing hna been
thought or talked about among tho
foinlnlno portion of Now York during
tho past ton days, oxcopt tho gowns
worn by tho ladles nt tho great centennial
ball, and I supposo tholnfonuntion would
bo as accoptablo to thoso who did noteco
thorn. Thcro is a certain pleasure, chas
tened and melancholy though it tnny be,
in hearing how royalty attires ItHolf on
stato occasions, and as wo havo no royalty
wo llko to know what our president's
wifo nnd daughters woro.
Mrs. Harrison woro a splondld dress of
puro whlto nllk, no thick it fell in heavy
rich folds. Tho front was covered with
finely plaited tulle, and this fastened
with Hllvcr spnnglcs, ujilcli wero cut
with facets so that thoy sparkled llko
frost work. Tho back was cut on prin
cease, nnd tho train was square On ono
sldo n panel was workod with silver.
Tho other was mado of marabout feathers.
Tho corsago was cut V shape and tho
points filled In with tullo. Tho sleeves
woro of silk to tho elbow with a dcop
fall of tullo below them. Her gloves
wero whlto nnd sho woro diamonds.
Tho president's daughter, Mrs. MoKco,
woro n trained gown of thick whlto
artnurosllk with draperies of ombrold-
,orcd cropo llsso. Tho gloves woro white,
and so woro tho slippers and stockings,
nnd tho wholo dress vras much nd in I red.
Mrs. Kussoll 13. llarrhion woro a mag
nificent dress, with n long aqunro train
of whlto satin striped with moire. Tho
stripes wero or
namented with
brocaded rono
buds nnd roses in
natural colors.
Tho front was of
bluo Rat!n,drnpcd
with tulle, hand

was pointed back

havo them on this occasion. Tho silk
used in making theso dresses is ovory bit
of American manufacture, and- thoro
wero no handsomer toilets than theso,
thoughmauy cnuio from Paris.
Mrs. Lovl P. Morton woro n splendid
Paris gown of heavy brocado with drup
ings of point do VonlcoBomo thirty inch
es deep, which nlono must havo cost an
enormous price. Mrs. Morton Is very
handsomo, nud makes a flno dress beat;
tlful by her own personality, but tho
puro whlto dresses of Mrs. Harrison nud
Mrs. McKeo woro cortulnly tho most
pleasing toilets nt tho groat ball.
It would not bo possiblo to give n de
tailed description of all tho dresses worn
at this groat gathering, but thoro was
ono general effect noticcablo, and that
was that all or nearly all tho costumes
followed tho stylos of a century ago as
closely as was possiblo, and, indeed,
thero were very many dresses worn that
liavo been handed down through succes
sive generations sinco Washington's
tlmo, and very quaint nnd pretty they
wore Ono or two young ladies woro
tho very dresses that their ancestors had
worn at tho inaugural ball ono hundred
years ago, without alteration.
Thero aro somo ladies who don't think
thoso old Btyles pretty, and prefer tho
nower modes of today, and for such I
show ono of tho prettiest I could sec.
This dross has n skirt of chocolato
brown falllo and a very slightly draped
over skirt of striped novelty goods, in
pink, green and brown. Tho corsago Is
of tho brown fnillo with drapery vest of
tho stripe. Tho wrap is mudo of black
ottoman silk nnd black guipure laco,
which is being revived very extensively
this season. It is a rich and durablo
lace, and being of puro Bilk threads nover
loses its rich luster. Both huts nro largo
and trimmed with muny feathers. Os
trich feathers nro very much used every
where wherever thoy can bo.

In their collars and lapels, and nil have

perfectly adjusted to tho figure. The
backs nnd fronts at the bottom aro bettor

now tho form of tho jerseys left some
thing to bo desired In finish, but now the
most carping crltio cannot complain, for
no wnlst can bo mado to fit llko a jorsoy

Riding habits aro undergoing a groat
change, and ono which fills tho heart of
tho man dressmaker with dismay. La
dles nro now finding out that jersoys aro
easier to rido in than tho stiff "habit
basques" of lato years, and thoy aro
adopting them, and riding sUrts aro no
longer mado bo tight that tho wearer has
to button them all tho way up.
Tho skirts aro now mado a yard and a
half long, and only tho front breadth is
gored. Tho rest is plaited in nt tho sides
and back. Tho skirts aro two yards and
n half around. Tho effect is thus far
more graceful, nnd pleasing to tho oyo.
It is to bo hoped, however, that ladies
will not run into tho other oxtrcmo and
mnko tho skirts so long ns to bo clangor
ous. Tho trousers will not bo discarded.
Riding hats also nro to bo changed, nnd
now, instead of tho high hat or jockoy,
or Derby, n wido brimmed nnd soft felt
hat, with n long, swooping plumo, will
bo worn. Of courao, boiuo conservatives
will try to maintain tho present stylos,
but their funeral cards aro out. I am
not sorry, but then, it really isn't my
funeral. Ouvn IlAitrKR,

entertainments are offered at $2.00, which
Includes a reserved seat for tho season.
Single admission will bo 75 cent, but will not

soat lovers of music should buy season tickets,
which wIIUm) on salo.Monday at Harley's drug

XM)plo of Lincoln to give tho society
their hearty support. In tno first place they
got tho worth of their money in u series of
fino entertainments nt considerable less than
tho usual price. Secondly, this music festival
Is a Lincoln institution and as a matter of
local pride It should !o made a grand booming
success.
