April 10. ( Special. ) When the Easter bells rang and ( oiks moved churchward last Sunday , the muflllngs of the sober-minded woman partook of the usual calm simplicity , modified , of course , to newly modish lines ; but the girl who loves fashion for fashion's suect sake was a gayer creature. She , the dainty dear and nil too cruelly maligned said her prayers In a gale of flowers , bechokcd with flowers , breast knotted with flowers , hung with graceful bunches of Jonquils or violets , from scarfs of lace , and , perhaps , breathed a misty perfume - fume as she moved. The new fad for excessive floral decora tion opens the way for further Kensuousness nnd n few of the new model neck nnd shoul der fixings have their llfcllko flowers so deftly scented that It seems hard to believe they nro not the real thing. As a rule the blossom trimmings nre confined to lace and velvet , but entire flower boas will bo worn with light dressy Jackets with ravishing ef fect. If the garment IB a velvet cape , flared and full as n dancer's skirt , the posies will be massed In clumps In a huge neck ruchlng of lace or chiffon. In this Instance no foliage will be used , but where the bit of loveliness Is purely a throat arrangement there will be leaves and buds and tendrils galore. A neck fixing here Illustrated Is a mere trellU on which to hang a vine of morning glories. The lace used Is Imitation point applique In a cream white , and Is In the shape of a vast scarf , much bunched and looped. The bunching encircles the throat In a monster ruche , whcro nestle the morning glories , r A SUMMER COAT. which are of satin , In tints , pale nnd deep petunia. Loops of petunia satin ribbon , very narrow and of a rich , stiff grade , nre shrouded In front by the lace caught up in billows ; pointed scarf ends hang below the waist. Who would not be fair In such a muf fler ? And what woman behind It could keep her mind on religion ? Hut to return to mere fashions and lace in particular. It may be useful to know , en passant , that point applique , real or other wise. Is the lace of the hour. As a trimming It bids fair to rival the ever-popular chiffon. New spring hats have wings and bows of It anil often a pair of dashing sleeves of flowered silk will bo attached to an entire bodice of point applique ; made-over silk , of course. When trimming ; the velvet capes , which now seem shorter nnd fuller than ever , It takes chiefly the form of a neck ruchlng with the scarf ends mentioned. The thick , knotted guipure laces are. also seen on velvet capes. Again n plain circle of silk or cloth will be covered entirely with n lace-llko structure of line braid , or a short cape , short nnd frilly , will be perfor ated with only a gay lining twinkling through Us holes. An adorable llttlo Importation lately seen was a single- circle cipe of leaf-green satin under white guipure laco. The lace was ap- pllqued on to Imitate a shorter cape , leaving an Inch-wide border all round of the plain satin. At the throat a boa effect In white chiffon was made becoming and spring-like with close clusters of yellow satin crocuses , and there were also short jabot ends of the chiffon , holding two bunclus of the cro cuses. In length the cape fell only four Inches over the shoulders , and It was lined throughout with crocus-yellow silk. Another enchanting wrap that the same wicked dressmaker would not allow to be Illustrated was of black chantllly lace , with trimmings of lizard-green ribbon and scarlet satin popples. The shape was a bodice effect , with a blouse front of net , and a narrow back that was drawn d&wn to the waist In a slender V , that finished under the belt In a short flirting tall of chantllly , which , In a seven- Inch width and closely knife-pleated , fell over the shoulders In a series of capes. A spacn of seven Inches came between the edges of [ the capes In front , and this , from throat to waist , was filled In by a bread band of the lizard satin ribbon , which was spangled and exquisitely shaded. A thick k ruche of the chantllly , with bunches of the scarlet pop ples , finished the throat , and there were also two bunches of the poples at each side of the waist In front. However , all the stunning capes are not "fleurld , " as the French put It. Posies abound , but so also do unflowercd capes , and a delightful Illustration of these last may be seen In the triple caps design hero shown In the back view. The materials of this are pale mauve cloth , biscuit-tinted guipure nnd dahlia-colored vel vet. A theater cape , also Illustrated , Is of golden , brown velvet , with a throat ruche of f deep yellow point applique , and knots of f shaded velvet wall flowers. When It comes to new coats all the world of femininity has reason to rejoice. All the old , tight-fitting , long-skirted affairs , so pop ular last year , and so uncomfortable and sc universally ugly , have been put on the shelf. Now coats are short , loose fronted , and are becoming as becoming can be. Iacks fit trimly Into the figure , rippling out below tht waist In a fulllsh tall , and sleeves are large , on the glgot order , nnd droop low from the shoulders. Cloth In pale tans and browns U a favorlto material for these coats , and nol uncommonly the seams are strapped ovei with narrow bands of the same. One very dashing little Jacket after this model was of plain black broadcloth , with an orang < Bilk lining. It was double-breasted , with nar row mannish revers , and the cocky HttU affair was to bo worn with a black and whit : check skirt , which , according- authorities Is the last agony In combinations. As to Imported model coats , there Is ni set shape , of course. All are short , or short Ish. but there nro loose coats and tight coats coats with distinct yoke effects , and coat : trimmed and untrlmmed. One of the vast untrlmmed variety , am that struck the meditative eye as within * th bounds of comfort and reiifon , Is shown her In the design with yoke effect. The stuff 1 tan cloth In the lightest possible weight ; th lining Is striped taffeta in pal violet. The jacket , with blouse front. Is a Raud nltz visiting affair ofMto English serg soutached with dull gold braid. The rover are gold colored peau de sole , dusted wit gilt beads , and the bay vest front Is of whit gauze. The high stock collar and throat knots ar of gold ribbon In a heavy grade. NINA FITCH. coitNiai turiiu.vuus. An Olil-Faihtoncil 1'leco of furniture Kvet VVomim Coven. Corner cupboards ere such extravagant ! popular pieces of furniture just now thi bric-a-brac dealers not only buy them reai ily , but send out anil canvas the country hopes of securing good specimens , The ittyla of forty years ago la excellei : with small panel of glass fitting the ih ( space , solid brass knob for the upper do > and braes keyholes In the lower section. I ) they do not always appear to advantage , I cause frequently the owner bas tried to the cupboard over herself , and daubed Its surface with villainous red paint. The quality of the wood can be determined by scraping off a little paint. If It shows a reddish pink , It Is cherry ; If light color , It Is Imitation , The Idea now Is to preserve the original design as nearly as possible , and to this end little renovation la made other than polishing. The windows arc left Intact , an extra band of molding added on the top , and supports placed underneath to raise It about four Inches from the floor. Claw feet with a carved apron , surmounted by n narrow molding. Is a wonderful Improvement , with out In the least detracting from the coveted air of antiquity. Doing over an old cupboard Is very Inex pensive. The article costs , at the least , from $ S to $42. To polish It alone amounts to $7 more , and adding claw feet and moulding brings It up to a total of ? 2S. These prices , of course , depend to some extent on the locality , labor being cheaper In some places than others. In lieu of the claw feet , balls can bo used , and Indeed many persons prefer not to have them raised at all. Modernized cupboards arc also In demand , ono of the handsomest being Illustrated here. The upper door was removed and a shelf cut out , leaving an open space between the lower and upper sections , and two doors with largo plate glass panels Inclosing the remaining shelves. The lower doors were left Intact , and brass hinges of elaborate pat tern servo as ornaments. The open space Is lined with plate mirrors , which reflect Us silver and glass contents. The Interior Is painted a rich cream tint , against which delicate china shows to advantage. One carver has sent out ten new cupboards In the past two years , principally to Inland cities. They have all been different In de tail and splendidly handsome specimens. But the old cupboards can be made equally as beautiful at Uss expense , and for some reason their very age makes them more de sirable than the strictly modern affairs. MU Tlio Tunic , China Luce mid that Novel Tint Jnilc-Circon in Yniiir. When Japan undertook to administer n licking to China , few American women felt any Interest In the fracas , and not one of them suspected that this squabble In the cast was about to affect their fashions. That it has done so Is plainly evident. The begin with , we were tired to death of everything Japanese. Fans and parasols and screens and lacquer had become a weariness , and the kimono a burden. The Japanese had dumped so much waste upon us that even our large capacity for purchasing trivialities had been exhausted. The Chinese have never troubled themselves to ssll us anything but tea , so what comes to us from there now Is not merely manufactured to catch the eye , but are real things they have worn and used themselves. For there lias been a ter rible breaking up of everything In China since the war began. Though the Japanese have behaved wonderfully well , it Is Impos sible for an army to occupy a country with out a prodigious lot of loot falling Into Us hands , ono way or another. Families have been swept away or have fled from their homes and all their goods scattered to the four winds. Ruin and distress have forced others to sell their luxuries and the spoil of this great revolution has been pouring Into Europe and America by the ship load. I'arls , always ready for novelties , has seized with avidity upon the new goods , and what I'arls uses and wears New York wears and uses. One of the prettiest of these new fancies is the use of the Chinese tunic , that loosa , wide- sleeved garment that falls to the knee , as part of a morning or tea gown , combined with the eternal and ubiquitous chlflon. The Princess de Sagan has two of these. Ono is a loose slip of white silk , covered with white chiffon. The sleeves are close-fitting to the wrist and at the neck Is a great frill of lace , held In place with half n dozen turquoise pins. Over the whole is slipped a tunlo such ns Is worn by the great court ladles of the flowery kingdom. This Is of pale green silk , em broidered In blue flowers of thnt curious shade of blue that comes only from China , the embroidery so close that the flowers give almost the Impression of shaded blue scales overlapping each other. The edge Is finished with a narrow border of black satin and a line of gold thread , and this negllgo has a most rich and blzarro effect of color. The other tea gown has the silk and chiffon undersllp of dull , soft pink , the tunic being of black satin , embrlodered In gold and that clear shade of red that the Chinese call dragon's blood. The Jewels worn with It are of the beauti ful parrot-blue enamel on silver , for which Manchu Jewelers nre famous. There Is one of the blue dragon fly pins In the hnlr ; a great earring turned Into a brooch clasps the fluffy rufllcs at the throat , and at the belt hangs ono of the chatelaines of which Chinese ladles nro so fond , Including the moon-shaped perfume box , the llcxlblo sacred fish , and tiny images of the God of the Heavens , nnd the God of Happy Fortunes , beside the little invocation to good luck , cut In gold , which no Chinese woman is ever without. If slio can possibly help It. This Manchuria Jewelry has already ap peared In New York , nnd has been seized upon with avidity as a delightful new addi tion to the rich woman's Jouallerlo de fan- last as the Parisians call the ornaments which change with the fashions. Frederic Vllllers , the war correspondent , who has just returned frum the seat of hostilities , has brought a beautiful collection of bracelets , pins , buckles , earrings , hair ornaments , chat elaines , lockets nnd rings of the most delicate and fantastic gold cut work , silver , silver gilt and blue and green enamels , on silver nnd gold. The earrings are far too big for Amer ican ears , but make rather splendid brooches , and ono very up-to-date woman appeared at the first night of "The Ideal Husband" in a wldo skirt of new black molro satin , a bodlco of whtto chiffon and lace , and a long fronted Eton jacket of stem-green silk , with buttons made of old blue enamel Manchu. Her bonnet was a knot of black tulle , drawn through a blue Manchu belt buckle , and had an upstanding cluster of tiny ostrich tips , two green and ono black , Ueslde the dress and ornaments , the Crlse do Chlno , as the French fashion papers dub the new mania , shows Itself In squares of heavy yellow Chinese lace , that servo as doylies under finger bowls , In the strips of sleeve embroideries that are used to spread on the mantelpieces , In the sofa cushions cov ered with spoils of demolished tunics , and the whole tunics masses of rich , grotesque color spread about as draperies. Still an other manifestation Is that the two fashion able new tints nro jade-green and Manchu bluo. E. II. KXKItCISKS. A Long , Slender Wulat , I ! road Chest anil I.lmbi Cultivated.

The rules for health and beauty are really very simple.

The motions should be made evenly , ( Irmly and with sufficient rapidity to get up a pleasant warmth. The lungs should be filled through the nose with fresh air from the window and emptied through the mouth with a quick ejection. This should be done four or five times. Then the position should be taken for the exercises legs together , hands on the hips and the chin held up. Then a rotation of the body as In the first Illustration. This tends to make the waist slim and mobile , and the muscles may be felt alternately stretching and relaxing under the hands as the motion Is described.

It Is found chiefly at the linen stores and comes In plain , dotted and striped de signs.

The other exercises to be taken are made according to the well known routine , hands trom shoulder up , ten times , then down , then from the shoulder straight out in front the sumo number of times. All these should be done briskly. ' After the exercise n 'cold ' sponge bath should bo taken , accompanied by vigorous rubbing , and every other wcelc a cup full of common salt should bo thrbwn Into the water caclv day , and whtn-tills Is used'It must bo remembered thht 's5ap cannot be used , as the' two do not agree.

To give a woman an erect and beautiful figure ther9 Is no surer way than to stand vrHh the lianas on the hips as often as possible , with Iho abdomen In and the chest thrown well out. When one Is nt homo It Is easy to stand In this way for several min utes at a time , or to walk about the house so. It works llko magic , too , for giving one a fine carriage. It is , perhaps , unnecessary to add tlat all the walking In the open rlr one can ; > vfcibly do , unless It Is In the hot sun , serves to add to one's health and baauty , and a woman should be out of doors nil 'hat she r' sibly can , as nothing brings the bloom Inln her cheeks so quickly or so beautifully as God's pure air and sunshine.

In the spring there Is a wholesale resur rection of domesticated Insects that fill a housekeeper's mind with forebodings. . Furnace fires have not only kept the family worm all winter , but also Innumerable cosy mlco nests , the larvae ot moths and the Ir repressible cockroach. At the first warm sunshiny day every ono of these small abomi nations are up and doing unless a strong hand of resistance is put forth at their first active demonstration. This Is accomplished by using naptha and benzlno liberally on mattresses , pillows , etc. , that ore sunning In the back yard. It Is not too extravagant to pour a little stream of naptha all about bindings and tuttlngs of ticking , slnco It Is found that this Is almost the only agent that not only kills vermin but destroys tholr eggs. For the woodwork ot the beds first wash all the unvarnished parts In scalding soap suds , then immediately pass over every joint and crack with a clean paint brush dipped in naptha. Where during the winter a bed has been used by a sick person It is a nice precaution to paint the under parts with chloride of lime , and then push It near a draught of fresh air and sunny window to stand for at least five hours. Careful house keepers paint carpets , washboard and picture moulding under and above where every bed stands with naptha , and at Intervals of two weeks repeat the operation , , Where a moveable wooden iwashstand be comes Infested with crflton ( bugs or cock roaches there Is a sovereign pure In washing It out with hot suds , leavnfit | , | open to dry In strong sunlight and , tlieu soaking every joint of the wood wth | pure ammonia.
