Tlio beautiful spring days lirinR into viow tho ninny lovely toilets thut were inudo during Lent or that wero held linck until tho weather K'rew moro Hot tied. Tho most noticeable of tho now toilets nre those made of tho tuffe'tu silk! whero tho iridescent effecti ine overlaid with broendo or strip's. Tlio BtrijwB, whero tho colors nro not too brilliunt, make really tho lmntlnoiiiest gowns: The other day I saw n young lady coming from church, and nho woro :i dresa ol Htrined chango.iblo oilk which had as many tints and broko into as man) changing colon as an opal. Tho drew wiw not largo around, just right and touching tlio ground noveral inches in tliH back. Thero was n bit of a rnffl around tho bottom, with a round, biat milliner')) fold of tho silk for heading. pnaxo (iowns ami wraps. The young lady woro with this n coat of ribbed Bilk, black, which, by tho way, is very popular just now. Tho coat wa$ quito tight in tho back, but it opened in front over n beaded yoko and a fall of black lace. Narrow but heavy pase menterio bordered the whole coat, don- bio revers and all. On the hhouhleri were two falls of lace, but thero were no Hleeves to tho coat. Tho dress sleeves were of changeable but not t-triped silk, the colors matching thoo in the skirt. Silk, no matter of what quality or weave, is always beautiful, but it has remained for thosu changeable effects to hIiow its full capacities. Tho rich Hhades, tho broken lines and unexpected revelations of color as tho silkcieaes and folds, all mako of tho chameleon silks tho ideal. Ono pattern 1 saw yes terday bad l.i it everything, and like Cleopatra was a creation of infinite va riety. It was changeable, with blue, red, orango and green colois. It was striped with a sort of dusty brown, and it had tiny brocaded epingle dot and was moiro overall. A ords cannot toll how beautiful it was despite the unusual admixturo of colors. Another elegant church gown for a young lady was of plain shot silk of palo bluo and old gold. It was mad with threo stiaight flounces bordeied and headed with hind embroidery in palo green tloss silk, with conventional llower in palo bluo between the leaves. Worn with this was a novel and ex ceedingly tasteful wiap of black otto man silk, with jet passementeno and blink elvet levers. On tho shoulders and around tho hips wet o loops of tho t.ilk doubled and tiiinmed. Tho wrap was shapi d liko n basque, but sleeveless. I luivo noticed a number of wraps ol different shajies made sleeveless, but with n bnsquo more or less pronounced. Thu stylo is pretty mid giacetul and affords a pleasing thango iiom almost a surfeit of short military ctpes with butterfly iumnu :rv.s- win rr. t"Ti' t. PObsi- .'inir.'s (ollars and Austru.li i'lffs. Almost every one seems to h.ie ('lie of these capes. Lt t ine just nn nti in a few of the favor ites. Oueis a stlih cloth cape with a lapuehiu hood and a lull mil nudum! at tho neik and variegated .ilk tassels at dieli point. Then there is an all wool bioadcloth in all of the newest spring shades, with tho double collar, and a satin frill at tho neck beautifully embroidered. The.o are jut to tho waist, and some are lined, some pinked and sotuo heiiimel and stitched, and all aro pretty except the red ones. The melton capes, with a Medici col lar, are very pretty and dressy. They hae leathir tiiiniiiiug, usually closely (iirled peacock Hues and nch jet passe nienteiio in the front, liko deep lapels. They are sometimes black, suinetiuits in delicate spung shades. Then there is a kersey cloth lino of capes, with deep shirred del by collars, and another stylo where tho nhort broadcloth cane has two fiPii M8k fORT ' iU mm ifSjSBiiliHliI m JfnilfnrMitr'ifr' v3k5tSls wCHliV(Sr li.Ki fit i 'MI IV r liiiilnl Mif t'fm lilptft ' 1 NEAT TIip cliilil'n frock U of invy lihio HerRo tiiimneil with white braid, the ImkIIw oiwniK mi it white wive vent.

The most of these cipts were designed for young wcaiers that is to say, tor women who have not pas-cd their t hilt ie. For older women I found fewer capes. One, however, was veiy hand-oine and well adapted to tho ago of the prosper tive weater. Thi.ro was a full skirt of black camel's hair, with a bias t ufile 3 inches wide around the bottom, headed by n hall-inch pasi menterio. The waist ! was draped from the shoulder to a point ' in fiont, and rows of thu narrow passe- menterio started at tho top and en lid at thebottomol the point. The sleeves weie plain gigot, not very pionounced. There was a military capo to bo worn with this, coming a little below the waist and lined with changeable talleta silk. I There was a modest butterfly collar lined i with tho silk and bordered with tho i Biune narrow bead trimming, and the col-1 lar was a high turndown bordered with ' tho passementerie. j With this was worn a bonnet of black lace, jet ornament and red haws for the day, and for evening a myrtlo green vel vet with a compact mass of velvet for- getmenots. For day black undressed kid gloves, for evening iearl. You see by this that nn elderly woman is at liberty i to wear a dress liko that for almost any ordinary occasion, to church, to tho thea ter, for calling and for carriage, as well i as on tho street, and thero is no reason why it should not bo so. Tho gown is costly enough, quiet and in good taste, I and therefore suitable, but for recep tions or dinners black or dark silk would be moii' elegant. Hut if mamma looks best in black cashmero or silk, not so her pretty daughter, and sho is at liberty to cos tunio herself in all tho colors of tho rainbow and they as costly as her purso can buy. Witness tho lovely daughter in a rainbow striped silk and velvet gown for tho dinners, balls and leiej tions of tho second winter, lietwetn 1 the rainbow civet stripes is change able silk with all tho colors of the sunset sky as it turns from red and gold to leaden blue. Aiound tho bottom she has a band of peacock feathers hoi dot i ing eacli edge of a passenienterio of I white velvet and opal beads. Tho beitha and beltb are of shot velvet purple and I gold, which bring out tho delicate fair I nes-, of the young gill, but would be fat.il I to a sallow woman. I A hint to young ladies about this gown. You can copy this design in tho dainty 1 zephyr ginghams or lino woolens if joti I so pufer, and use velutma instead of veh'jt for ti miming and leao oil tho costly foot trimming, and have a gown fully as tasteful and dainty as the origi nal. If it is to bo wot u in the afteni(.ou as well as i veiling, it would bo well to lme the Mlutinacomo lather liighn m tho neck, leaving it V shaped fiont and back. I have done that myself. llr'Mtiurri: Kui-x.i'.au. Xow York. PETTY ECONOMIES. Sii'lni; That sm, niiil i:coiiom. Hint ! Nut Wiirlli Hie Trouble. Itinuy bo becausethey ate raiely accus tomed to tho handling of much money, and its lavisu use lather frightens them whatever tho cause, it is certain that women, no matter how extravagant in some matters, aro almost never wholly go. They havo a tew economies which they rigidly exercise. These aro gener-, ally in triw.il matters, legaided by their fathers and husbands and brothers as ah-1 surd, not to say niggardly. Tho men, too, have their pet sawngs. I doubt if there is a human biiug who, besides his favoiitesin and his secret supeistition, has not one single and peculiar sti.iin of miserliness. They aro those little, constant acts of self denial, howeer, that tho siijierHir sex scoff at and deride. They would not walk, if overtired, to a old a car fine, nor go without a needed lunch while shop Dim:, nor strain their eyes in glussesthat w STYLES. did not tit. nor wear ItootH that had proved uncomfortable becanso "they aro perfectly good and it seems a shame to tlnow them away." Kuch economies as these aro mean in deed and tho most at rant folly. An "tho life is more than raiment," it should al ways bo considered lirst. One's health and strength should bo guarded at'd physical well being placed immeasura bly above any sum of money, largo or small. To sa e on essentials is as wrong on the ono side as on tho other to do what I heard a young gnl, whoso father was a niodeiately salaried cleik, onco decline was her mode of piocedure. "I always throw away my pennies'," said she. "They'ie such a nuisance." A bright paiagraph tho other day told the old litory with a diffeience, of a merchant setting two boys to undo par cels and engaging him who did not carefully untie the twine and fold up tho paper, "for time, nowadays, is worth more than tho scrap of cold and bit of wrapping." It requites a most judicious mind to clearly sen in all cases which is moro important, the time spent in sav ing or tho thing saved. When it comes to patching pillowcases and darning stockings which mo as lull of holes as a sieve, thero is no such question. Linen and hoso me alike so cheap that tho hours h i K-1 1 1 in redeeming what is be yond its usefulness niiht lie better em ployed in a hundred clainoious ways. Timo is woith a gieat deal in this era of all improvement, and just theio comes tho point for due consideration. If by tho many littles which "mako a mickle" some tangible good can be se cured, she is most ellicient ami praise worthy who souos the opportunity. "What a pietty little coat you have. Nuniiy!" exclaimed a lady to a tiny child making a formal call with her mother. The latter was not oierwhelmed with joy at the piping lcplv, "Yes, and it's made out ot papa's old ti misers. " Thero was loom for luiuct pi ide instead of em barrassinent, for it was "a pretty littles tout" and wore well and seived eery purpose m spite of its unpromising gen i sis.

I.iiiiiIi Ciiiiiitrr I'or Women Our Not the Unrlil Mntvf A with awake lestiiuraiit keeper in New Yiuktttx blessings and pioxpotlty ci own him' has established us one branch of his business n lunch counter for women. So far as I know, it is tho llrsl of its kind in the wot Id. It is not a free luiuh counter, how over. Ladles who do imt caio for a full dinner ot luncheon get a hasty bilo and pay for what tho get without bti,lngcltht rbeci or cigat . Thci e is a long count ei or table, w ith a low of high stools in front. A worn an pel dies herself upon ono of the stooh and oiders her coffee and loll or a dainty cup of iiuoa and a ten biscuit, or miiybe cieii the lleud dyspepsia's great knock down aiguiiient, a plceo of pie. The chatges aie icaoiiahlc, tho waiters at tentive, eei thing clean ns paradise, ami a woman feels no mine embaiiaa incut in giving her little older at this nice lunch counter than her husband ex pel lences when ho in dors his kIiiss of lieer and sandwich at a man's lunch counter. Tho innovation is a success. Ladles wait their tin ns nt the counter. It is a gieat convenience to business women and tluxo who aro shopping, and then ought to bo mote such lunch counters in all tho large cities. Speaking of pie and lunches lemiuils me that into a ceitain leslauiaut wheie I used to get dinner thcio camo icgularly eveiy evening a woman with a face so sour, despondent ami leatheiy that she was a sight to look upon. You would havo thought the hist fiieud she hud on earth had just been hanged and she her self was goiugtothi'pooihousoni'xt day. Well, 1 could not tell why sho looked so till I saw that every night, month after mouth, winter and summer, she took for dinner a qiuuter of lestiiuinut mince pie ami a huge cup of tho strongest collet' go ing. Then I knew. New Yoik mothers now own half of their childicn. A club of ladies, the Woman's IMucatiotial and Industrial union of llullulo, has been pegging away for joars trying to induce the New Yin k legislatuio to pass a law making mothers joint guardians with tho fat hei h of their children. Other so cieties ami individuals helped in tho cffoit, ami at length the law was passed. Governor Flower, that good woman's rights man, approved it at once. Mrs. (J. II. Tiuipsnn is a successful tiiulei taker or "funeral dliector," as is now tho la'hioii to call it, and is in busi ness in New York city in her own name. In six states of tho Union motheis nml fathers nro tho joint gtiaidiausof their children. In all the rest the father owns tho young ones ns absolutely as if their niothei was no kin to them. In some of tho states ho owns tho mother, too, pre cisely as if sho weio his slave. Theie is money, there is health, there is independence, likewise happiness, in small 1 1 nit ctilttuc, flower culture, poul try raising and beekeeping. Women whe go into any one or two of theso occupa tions judiciously and jiorseverlngly will bo richly rewanled. Of course tho place chosen must bo convenient to acity mar ket. I wonder often why moro women do not go into these branches of business. They seem peculiaily adapted to oursex. Tho taste for tho refined ami (esthetic in articles that please both tho palate and tho eye grows with our population, and e cry year thero is greater market for tho products above named. Hy voto of tho authorities of tho Swe denborgian church all odices in that de nomination aro now open to women, and women may be ordained as preachers. Thus tho beautit ul ami spiritual Sweden borgian doctrino works in the hearts of its believers. Some of the gentlest, no blest, sweetest souls I havo ever known belonged to this chun h. Tho assistant court dentist m Ger many is a woman, Dr. Hcniictta I Iir-ch-feld. Ot course she came from Amciica. She was g! minuted from the Philadel phia College of Dental Suigery. Tho interior of tlio California building at tho Woild's lair will be decorated by a woman, Miss Maiy Domiuis Dates, a San Fiancisco at ti-t. The governor ot California has the unique distinction of being tho only gov ii nor in this I'liion who has vetoed a bill giving school suffiago to women.
