' Special OrroEnotxIenrrl New York, Nov. 20. A conplo of rears ago I was sailing down New York lay, and over to tho west great masses if leaden lined clouds were banked np, lick and morose looking, as if heavy rith impending storm and disaster. Just is the boat enmo abreast of the Statne nf Liberty the setting sun, big and bloody, noke through tho somber clouds, giving io each of Ihci.rr. border of coppery red flint gleamed like the glowing embers in ' t tire, sometimes dull and then again laring up with ft dazzling brilliancy that caused the wholo heavens to glow n-ith quivering lines of lurid flame. How rand and beautiful a si'lit it was, with mm tUINTV TTTTVGS FOR PRETTY WOME. Pie tall sentinel with her uplifted hand ippearing to point out new beauties and lories I cannot paint; but it was all one orgeous opaline flame on its back-round back-round of cold, dull gray. I sat back and watched its ever changing chang-ing forms and tints, and then wondered nhy some one did not think of it an I j leviso a gown that should be all somber, leaden gray with a bordering of this rich, litminous, coppery red, and now I Ind as among the most elegant and styl-i styl-i h combination of colors just these very Hies, which proves that great minds do iometimes run in the same channels.

The old (style of having four or Bve narrow pinked out ruffles scantily gathered and overlapping each other is rery pretty and dainty. This is for silks ind light goods.
