torus that Imvo tho corded effect with
brocaded flowers woven in, and they aro
specially handsome, but tho corded and
changeablo velvets givo tho richest at
pearance.
Theso corded velvets aro mostly in
tended for dinner and elaborato rccep-1
tlon gowns ami not to bo ueil now as
they would Imvo been 11 few neasons ago
as panels, front breadths or trains. Al
most every gown now is of tho name
material as far as Hkirts go, except where
there aro rullles or folds of homething ot
n lighter quality or kind. Tho ulceves
and waist drapery also often have a dif
ferent color or material, but Hkirt com
binations aro certainly, no longer in
vogue.
Tho princess form of gown for all
figures that will bear it is tho 0110 for thu
full skirt, and it is oftener seen than nny
other, particularly for homo toilets,
though it is also quito Biiitnblo for tho
street. Tho prettiest wrappers and tea
gowns nro princess, with a watteau in
tho back and full front, moro or les?
trimmed, tho long lines and looso folds
being graceful to any flguro.
Ono very elegant gown of this descrip
tion hub just been Mulshed for n young
married belle, mid it is worthy of illtis
trut'ju. It is very quaint, but altogether
lotcly. Tho gown is of rich shot velvet,
showing all tho browns and greens, and
it is en princeh.se, with every beam out
lined from top to bottom with a narrow
galloon and jet beads as big as peas.
Around tho bottom is onu bias rtitllo
scarcely fulled at all, and at tho knees
two others, all of pea green taffetas with
a brown undorsdiade. Tho wnist had a
jacket shape of tho tamo, with a rufllo
like a bertha all around it, and tho snug
part of the sleeves, the lapels and collars
wero of tho same. Tho lapels leavo thu
waist open V Bhapo, and this is tilled in
and tho lapels covered with ecru oriental
lace. In tho center of tho back tho prin
cess skirt is laid in threo deep plaits, thu
rullles reaching clear around tho skirt.
This design has been copied, with somo
variations, notably having nifties at in
tervals reaching nearly to tho waist, mid
in somo instances folds in placo of thu
rufllcs. Others, again, Imvo tho dress
plain, savo for tho beaded galloon. It
was copied in modo ladies' cloth and also
in heather mixturo and doubtless will
form tho basis of many other costumes
that will bo worn through tho wholo sea
son. It also would bo suitable for wash
dresses.
Ladies' cloth always will Imvo its ad
mirers, and thero is no woolen fabric
moro olegant, but in making up it re
quires a special treatment. It needs to
bo inado in such a way that duo promi
nence is given to its superb texturo and
refined finish. Such a material does not
need to bohidden or cheapened by musses
of flimsy trimming.
rmiPATtiMi roit coxtvn-sT.
A wnlkingand vi-iting and also church
gown of this mati rial sent out for Easter
was fif the bluish gray now so popular.
The back of the skirt was l.tid in five
heavy and deep plaits. The waist was
short and all in one piece. The front
was (lit with tl.iring breadths, piped
with bl.uk vi lvet. Around the bottom
of the front ' ,t a double slurred black

was a tall of black laco arranged in such
I way as to appear to lie n wldo falling
foliar. Long suedo gloves, n heliotropo
parasol and 11 heliotrovo straw hat will
complete this truly elegant costnmo.
It seems to mo that as gowns grow
larger parasols grow smaller, for somo
of tho now ones 111 o scarcely half as largo
as they wero before. I saw somo this
week "mado of black moiro lined with
tloreiitino silk, pinked out. and really
they wero no si7o at all.
I intended saying something about the
skirts, which of course ai o tho great topic
now. Two of our best houses Imvo gotu
over to tho side of tho enlarged skirts
and it Is easy to seo why, as they will
naturally sell just so much moro ma
terial, but th? skirts aro cut so that Hit
gores "llaro" very much, so much indeed
that they fall back in deep folds around
t'10 bottom, and tho skirt is faced will,
horsehair, so that it gets tho right hang.
This it could not do if hoops worn used
but it is a sop to Cerberus.
One gown mado in this stylo had tht
skill of reasonable dimensions down t(
just above tho knee, and fiom theio 01
thero was a llouneo cut in circular sec
tioiis so that when suwn together am)
put 011 it mado a iiiiit remarkable full
ness. Two narrow rullles wero set abov
tho top, for what purpose only tho do
signer knows, unless to innko a tall
woman look short.
Some drosses camo under my notlet
a day or so ago that weio being madt
for "first communion," and as thero will
bo many little girls ready for conllrina
tion after Haster I thought somo might
llko to know what they wero like.
Somo wero of white cashmere, madt
plainly with a lit tlo drapery or triinininp
of faillu or surah. Tho dresses all had
plain hemmed skirts. Ono had bretellet
of faille. Another had a vest front ami
lapels of surah. There wero several
very pretty little dresses made of jaco
net, with white satin shoulder knots ami
sash with long ends of tho same ribbon.
801110 weru of victoria lawn, tucked, 01
with ono narrow, gathered rulllo at the
bottom.
With these gowns goes a wreath ot
artificial lilies of tho valley or othei
whito flowers. Ilrussels net veil is di
rigueur for all who go to tho Catholic
church. Tin Episcopal permits but
does not require tho veil. White cotton
or silk gloves and white slippers and
whito stockings should bo worn.

Her voice, strong and penetrating when

Mrs. Bottomo's maiden namo was Mc
Donald, and her early lifo was passed in
Brooklyn, where sho married Ilov. Frank
Bottomo, D. D., of tho Methodist church.
During her childhood she was actively
engaged in mission work, visiting with
her father the almshouse and prison, the
sick and tho poor. After her marriage
she extondo 1 her labors and organized
in her own parlors the ladies' classes, out
of which grew tho "Drawing Kooni
Gatherings," now so well known for
their "TulkB" on Bible subjects.
As tho originator of the great "lut r

EASTER NESTS.
German children probably enjoy Eas

euuso for them tho element of mystery
that adds so much zest to tho pleasure
of tho Christinas stocking is brought Into
play. Nests of tinsel, artillclal flowers
or somo other attractive material aro
filled with eggs, candies, cakes or other
goodies and hidden away for tho chil
dren to search for. These nests aro gen
erally surmounted by a rabbit mado of
candy, cake or any of a hundred mate
rils dictated by tho ingenuity of loving
parents. The Easter rabbit Is a very old
Gorman institution and probably a sur
vival of tho heathen days when tho hurt)
was sacred to Kastro, tho goddess of
spring.
THE CZAR'S EASTER.
The czar kisses tho cheuksof his court
iers, and they in return kiss Ids majesty's
thotildcr as being a lit tlo less familiar
salute. Everybody kisses the hand of
tho czarina, and she kisses her relatives
ami friends on tho cheek in return, ami
then every man, woman, priest and
child present kiss one another, exclaim
ing between tho smacks, "Christ Is
risenl' "Ho is risen, indeed I"
