New Youk , - -- It has , been re served fur the modistes of this season to show what could bo done with broad-cloth. Some of the most Veautiful toilets for reception, the street and even for dancing, and at least oue wedding dress, have been made of it. This broadcloth is shown n all the new tints and colors tern cotta, old rose, ashes of roses, lavender. heliotrope, tan, wood brown and all the gray and green shades, as well as blilo cream and white.

And it it treated in a di.Terent way from that of any other reason. I noticed one dreM on a young lady which will give an idea. This gown was of terra ' cotta, cloth and brocaded silk in thesame Tho skirt was of silk, and the upper part of cloth cut en princes.se, th;) talis being left open all tho way down to tho bottom. The front and bottom and tlie straight seams np tho back were hemmed threeinehes wide, with n drawn open work one inch wide above the hem. This drawn work on cloth is very novel and effective, and must be exceedingly dillicult to do. Others have the bottom of tho draieries hemstitched, which alsu is very handsoino. Keoeption dresses of cloth are slashed i and laced with silken cord, with fiia shaped plaiting of Kilk, satin or velvet beneath. Some have deep cut tabs bor-- i (fc'tt-- 1 with very narrow bauds of fur ami embroidered with black silk and gold threads, or with jet beading, or perhaps with some of the imitation jewel trimming, according to tho use it is to have. Some even combino it with lace, though this should bo very care-fully done. A very graceful home dress was made of cream colored cloth and black china silk. The front, ntid panels were of the cloth, embroidered in black and gold thread. Tha Princesse was of black, with yellow buttercups in pretty sprays. The sleeves were of brocade satin, cream and black brocade. Tho design is susceptible of many changes to suit different tastes, and can be made up in any of the lighter fabrics. Walking suits of cloth, serge, tricot or cheviot would be very stylish copied from the design which was on a wax fig-ure in the leading house in Now York. It was in tan colored garniture embroid-ered with gold and black, with the body of the costume in snuff brown Scotch fmnff cloth. The very plentiful use of! bronze buttons added a touch of orna-- ; mentation it would have lacked. The wdiole is very handsome and ladylike. Another very stylish now spring gown for tho promenade is of deep myrtle green cloth, made over a corsago of vel-vet. The front is draped iu a very novel lout taking style, while a rich band of galloon in green, black and silver ex-tends diagonally across the wiviat and also decorates the bkirL m ' iS III ill 4 --mm HOME AND WALKING COSTTMES. And that reminds mo that galloons,; beaded passementerie and jet trimming of all kinds will h worn more t han ever before, if wo can believe modistes and manufacturers. I noticed a very stylish and dressy walking gown, which is a very useful model. The material is that soft striped wool with raised stripes and tut'is upon ii called t.'alif'ornieo, in fawn and dark blue. The front of the corsage was of indigo blue velvet. Around tho entire skirt, which, like the waist, was cut on the bias, was a band of lynx fur, and pretty little fny.;s in blue-talk- and but- - tons of silver decorated the waist. Tho toque wiii trimmed with the same fur, but of cour.se that will not he worn very many weeks more, for tho new hats will be "out" very soon cow. Mora work for the fashion writers. Ouve Hakpeb.

Hartford Courant. A Terrified liaelielur. There is a Boston editor of a properous periodical who has as large a t as he has a skillful pen. Not long ngu he re-ceived some manuscripts from a western author in whose work he saw considera-ble promise. Ho accepted much of the work and encouraged further efforts. These came, and were likewise! found available. Then the editor conceived the idea that his newly found author should come to a literary center, where chances for material and observation would be greater. Accordingly, he invited bis new "find" to spend a few weeks at his Hus-ton home. A reply came, heartily ac-cepting the invitation, but one sentence in tho letter caused eoiisternatien in tho editor's mind, During all his corre-spondence the editor believed ho was writing to a uyiu, and had accordingly addressed his letters. Hence this sentence was a surprise: "It is indeed generous of you to offer such kindness to a young girl removed from opportunities by her residence." Tho editor is a bachelor, and keeps house in true bachelor fashion. He felt that ho could not withdraw his invitation, and he certainly could not take the girl to his home as ho had to his heart. Hut the girl is in Host on, accompanied by a female friend, at the suggestion of the editor, and in her own apartments she u happily located, unconscious of the mo-ment of terror she shot into the heart of hergeiieroiis editorial friend.
