BTuirnn sh.k warp uknuietta diikss.
Tho Inverness plaids tiro inoro than
usually flno nnd soft this season, nud in
clan colors ns well ns In now dorlccs in
such patterns, but nil very lnrgo figured.
Tho French qundrillo plaids nro very
beautiful nnd softer In tono than tho
Scotch, which, though they do not nil
follow tho clan colors, still show n cer
tain crudity of colorings tlmt Is not so
pleasant to tho oye.
Thoro nro hundreds of vnriotics of wool
en goods In Holf colors, and then thcro
nroothois with n woven bright thread
which hIiowh Itself hero and thoro n
always unexpected places. Thoy innko
ono think of tho mourning goods thoy
used to call "gleam of comfort," which
was black, with hero nnd thoro n yellow
thread. Many of thoso woolens nro
dasliod with bright colors In Irregular
flecks, ns though Hakes of gold had fallen
there or tho wind blown potnls of gay
flowers. Tho effect is certainly nrtistio
nud pretty, nnd would bo sunshiny on a
dark day.
Vulturo is "tho" now color par excel
lence, mul will undoubtedly "go" well.
It is exnetly tho shade of 11 vulturo's
back, with tho sort of n dusty bloom
nil over tho surface, whethor it is opera
cloth, cashmere, camel's hair or twill.
It is very cunningly woven.
Tho sill; nnd wool mixed . goods nro to
bo very largely worn, particularly tho
Priestly Henrietta sill: warps, in black
and grays, In plain nud brocaded weaves,
nnd in tho Btrlpcs uud chovron patterns
which wero Introduced last season. Tho
black silk warp with liny brocaded
flowers is perfectly exquisite, nnd these
goods nro so durnblo that they nro still
more deslrablo, for, liko black silk, thoy
look rich nnd beautiful until tho last
thread is gone. Thoso Henriettas differ
from tho all wool Henriettas, as tho
warp is pure silk and tho filling is wool,
which gives them a beautiful finish and
feel.
Thoy havo a new lino of gray nnd
white Btripos this season, and a now
black called Lustriuo, with a beautiful
surfaco. This goods costs ?1.2o per yard,
forty-four inches wide, but it lasts al
most forovor. Tho striped dress horo
with Is a specimen, and I givo this as
ono of tho prettiest designs of the season.
It is ono that, with tho help of tho pict
ure any lady can mako for herself. Tho
waist is quito a sluiplo basque, tho front
gathered a littlo to simulato a full vest.
Tho velvot collar nnd wldo pocket flaps
with tho sash givo it a distinctive dircc
toiroBtylo, with littlo trouble. Tho skirt,
trimming nnd sash can bo of velvet or
tho beautiful new open work castlo
braid and sash to match, which can bo
gotten in sots.
Tho other dress is of tho dotted not,
which is now a settled fashion, worn
over a silk slip. Thoso ltrlfc dresses oro
most slmplo, but very dressy. Tho front
should bo of molro or plain silk, with
bits or ribbon, black or colored, accord
ing to fancy. Any lady can mako n loco
dress according to this model at n cost of
nlout 8-1 if sho happens to havo an old
silk skirt, which is just as good for a
foundation as a now one.
DAINTY LACE DINNEIt AND KVBNIKO DRESS
Thoopenlusrs for bonnets nnd.raado up
goods tako place generally during this
month, and I am saving money to
buy a pair of smoked spectacles, aa
tho prospect is that every bonnet will
bo so brilliant tlmt it will cast a halo
around tho wearer's hood, nud thus
thoy will dozzlo tho oyes. But thoy oro
not. to bo so largo nor aggrcsslvo an be
fore. I am told that thero is to bo much
lino wrought hand work on bonnets in
tho way of shirring and embroidery.
Tills, however, is only a scare, liko tho
annual destruction of tho peach crop or
tho loo harvoit, and Is dono to koop tho

For a room liko tho ono shown in tho Illus

will nmko an effective spot of color. Tho
cloisonne Jar Is a very beautiful )eclnion of
this branch of Japnuose Industry. This icr
haps Is of Chinese manufacture, how over, and
as It may bo of souio little Interest for us to
docldo from whose hands It originally enmo,
lot us oxamlno It closely. It is of a palo bluo nt
tho top, with a spray of conventionally treated
fl wers, In light greens and pinks, on tho side.
Tho surfaco Is broken unovouly Into spots,
the background of which is in soino instance
whlto, again of tho ialo bluo, and at tho vory
Imiko of a deep, rich bluo, covored by un all
over design. The wiro which traces tho pat
tern is about ono-sixth of an Inch In width,
which alouo would show it to bo, af tor all, the
product of Chinese labor. Tho Japunoso vases
nro almost Invariably of a rich, dark groon,
Indian rod and deep blue. Tho patterns aro
arrangements of geometrical forms Irregu
larly disposed upon tho surfaco, whllo the

max Just as tho allotod tlrao Is oxplring. To
the woman, how over, who Is not endowed
with this girt, for It certainly is a talent, a
clock is an nbsoluto boon. It should bo so at
tractive and lovely in appearance that when
her eyes fall upon it bIio will think ns much
of its beauty us of its utility. To chooso a

enamel nud with black and gold hands. This
is framed In Luneville porcelain with a
whlto ground, on which are strewn garlands
and wreaths of flowers In light and varied

Every room which contains a fireplace
should also hold a screen. This may be of
jwood to match tho wood work of the room,
or of almost any naterial which the fancy
may suggest. It may bo tail uud folding or
small and swinging. Tho one shown in
the sketch has a light gilt frame work with
a fairy like desigu of a wreath and loaves
across the top. In this frame Is stretched a
piece of heavy silk of a deep yellow shade, ou
which is worked a design in leaven and

ground work Is of a light goldeu brcwu, shot
