FANCY SILKS.
A doeen or more fancy silks might be-,
described. There is a taffeta .checkede
with a figure in contrasting color, em-
broidered over; and an 'openwork lace
oesign between the embroideries. For
example, a creamery white chiffon ha's' (a

He was finally caught and condemned

LINENS AND COTTONS.
If the spring silksare alluring, what
shall; be said of the new linens and cot-
tons? Some of the latter are dangerous
rivals of silk. • •
The color which the dressmakers and
tmporterS -say will lead. this ,spring e is •
grey. Several shades are offerecl,. all
of them light and tending to warm tonest
Ne coler is more refined, but few. colors
are so trying, especially to pale or sal-
coniplexions. The trelbecomingness
may be modified by a jitilicious use at
white or bleck, afed fortunately the pre-
eent style of guimpe dresses lends itself
to this idea. Not many gowns darry the
(thric close to the throat: , Practically
all have some sort of white collar, ustu.
ally transparent. If a touch of 'color,
the most becoming, be added to the col-'
lar, the palest woman' may wear the
fashionable grey with assurance.
