New Yoiik, Fob. 0. In tho docnloguo
of fashion thin season thoro i.i no "thou

look liko fairy Ixnvors nnd nro moro
beautiful than ono can toll, with their
rich coloring of purplo and groon.
Purplo and groon, by tho wny, aro often
con not ii raging, violent purplo liko
thnt nffootod by tho Italian women, butn
modified simile. heliotrope, miiybo, vio
let, lllao or tho hazy shadoof tho morning
sky. All theso shades nro combined with
nil tho shades of yellow or of groon, but
thoy nro carefully dono, with nature ns
tho master.
I saw a hat oh, n dream of n lint! It
was of flno black lnco nnd narrow blnok
volvot ribbon, nnd on It wns n regulnrly
gat nor ed and ttwl up liuncn of pink moss
rosebuds nnd violots. Just think of put
ting pink nnd violet together! Yot, with
tbo tender moss on tho buds nnd thu
groon hearts of violet leaves, thoro was
no clash of color. All was the most ox
quisito harmony. If nature is studied
and her lessons learned, there will bo no
mistake oven on nn Enstor bonnet.
Another thing just now gives oppor
tunity for beautiful harmonies in color,
and thnt is thu design in tho clmllies nnd
sateens. Natural flowers nro reproduced
as exactly almost ns m nrtist does in
painting, nnd tho effect is so pleasing
thnt tho oyo rests on them with keen do
light. Ono dark, reddish brown challio
had tho most exquisite bluots, pink nnd
bluo, Bcuttored sparingly over it. An
other of a soft greenish whito hnd trail
ing pond lilies, natural sizo, nnd how
cool and pretty n gown that will mako in
ummer ono can imngino when trimmed
with lnco and loops of moss groon volvot
ribbons.
A challio that was mado up and In
window also gained my approbation. It
had a pattern of Scotch thistles in nat
ural color. Tho gown itself was plain
in mako, belted in by plaid ribbon, which
formed ono loop nnd two long ends. Tho
ribbon contained tho colors of tho this
tle. Tho neck wns finished with a deep
frill and jabot of point do gono lnco, nnd
tho sleeves wero frilled with the same.
Clinllio is so deliciously soft nnd line
that it appeals to every ono, and it drapes
as beautifully us crape.
The now zephyr and laco ginghams
nro us soft as tho clmllies, and I think tho
prettiest aro thoso in ombre stripes.
There nro some magnificent whito bro
endo bilks, nnd somo satin dress patterns
with designs worked out in gold and sil
ver embroidery. A Josephine gown for
handsome evening wear was of whito
and silver brocado, with moss green vol
vot puffed sleeves nnd sash. Around tho
bottom was a silver ribbon with green
velvet leaves.
A satin embroidered costumo wns most
elegant. Tbo gown was cut en princcsso,
tho embroidered front slashed over em
broidered black tulle. Tho train was of
satin, and the sleeves wero "angels"
mado of Spanish lnco. Tho embroidery
wns of black, gold nnd silver. Tho man
ner of dressing tho hair ndded piquancy
to tlio wnoie costumo, wuicu was par
ticularly graceful.

Among tho nowest mnterinls put for

bright colored dots on n plain ground.
Thoro is 11 chnngenblo diagonal which
takes four different bhmles in difforcut

1 shrinking up in tho dampness. Another
I wool ground has silk tracery nil over it

Thero nro sovcral styles of bnyndoro
