The Now Sprinp; Silks Defy Aoou- rato Description. yorlt Soilxir r.olni; Wild ilm Many 1'rotly TliIncH r.xlilbltoil for Spring of ArtlKlle In Millinery. Now York In the spriiiffa yonnff woman's fancy lightly turns to dross, nnd she is hard to please who cannot find exactly what she most needs ill the complete menu the dry-floods caterer hnstooft'er this season. You would think it were May to soe the lovely tempting spring silks in their delicate tracery, as they lie in shimmering heaps on the counters. Every woman can now wulk in silk attire, for the prices arc so reasonable that it would bo wicked, as I heard a g-ushinp girl say, "not to buy." On the sale days the very newest silks aro put on the counters, and the next day, when the sale is "oft," the prices nre one-third more.

I notice a prominence piven to very lipht colors in all new poods, both silk and woolen. Some of the new China silks have a white or pinkish ground with a faded flower design, whicli is like the powns in old pictures. Others have pin-head checks and buds, or small ilowers. The chene taffetas are (U'lieioiisly like old China patterns. The tufl'otas and faille.

Francaise silks aro soft and pliable, to drape gracefully. The India silks and Ilahitai and Ki-Ki have been selling freely at thirty-eight cents a They make up into lovely summer gowns with quillings of ribbon and laec garnitures. The changeable armuro silks sell at the same price. The moire silks arc having a most determined run, being introduced by the Indies' tailors into walking suits. The moire coat is one of tin- fashionable spring wraps.

Kor this purpose a silk is used at varies in price from tour dollars a yard to six dollars. His large watered design, two i-n- delinitit stripes covering tlu- i-n- i i h. Moire Franuaiscs I'i'i hasasot watered stripe, and there MATRON'S VI-KINO is a moire an- MA.NTI.K. tifjuc that has alternating' stripes of satin and moire. This silk is used in immense quantities for making over, the sleeves and trimmings being composed ol the moire.

Some of the silks have a knotty effect to resemble the knots in a board. These aro called arabesque moires, and make one ask "what next?" The new colors are real novelties, although wo think each season must exhaust color resources. But there are absolutely new shades of green, bltfe, yellow and brown. Then there is Florentine pink, and a color that is pink and yellow combined which was originally called "punch" color. Tea green and foliage green aru both new colors.

All shades of brown are popular, and the rod-headed girls wear them all in one costume, or at least as many ol them as will harmonize. The now woolen goods are classed the head of novelties, there being too many of them for rcgnlar names. If you want hop-sacking, or serge, the clerk will show you all the new weaves. The French soft wool are the finest and best, as they Imve a melange of color which makes their dainty designs resemble old embroidery. The ground work is a pearl or gray orlight tan, or pale green, but the pattern blends with it so perfectly that it has no decided tint, but a soft blending of many.

Dark emerald on a mouse- gray ground is favorite style, with small design of lighter shades. Crepons are in constant as are the light-weight Scotch suitings, which are made up with silk sleeves. These delicate street suitings are made with lace and ribbon, or some of the new passementeries. Two large bub- tons on each side of the bodice point are much affected. There is a carnival of 1 ace.

ivul everything in the stores is made up has a shave of it. Anne of Austria laco collars are worn with outside garments. Then there are crimped ruffles of laer, which may be made of an inferior article, as the quality does not reveal itself. Luce bibs are worn with satin stocks. Lace yokes and sleeves are already ordered for all spring gowns, and lace fichus and collarettes, lapels and brotellesof lace, accompany all the new gowns.

Point de Gene remains a favorite lace. Ecru or butter yellow are preferred to dead white for day wear. i made a little tour the other day search of spring millinery, and was just in time to see two members of the Four Hundred buy their spring bonnets in the millinery department of a Twenty-third street dry goods house. shouldn't they? Oh, it has been a sort of fad with some of our old first families to buy their millinery in a millinery shop somewhere on Fifth avenue. Tint will describe the bonnets, for such they really were.

One was brown Italian straw with bunches of black Russian violets in front a fishbow of black satin loops Having 911 one side and a stand-up row of small velvet loops nt the back. It was simple, but the style was elegant, and the price thirty-five dollars. The other was a yellow braid trimmed with small upright tips of ostrich fibers and gold. The ornaments were balls of jet and gold and there were great oriental rings of gold confining bunched loops of velvet. This was twenty-five dollars.

Both were the new bonnet form, which is like a turban strings. The Panama straws in again. There are yellow Panamas and white ones. I saw some that were faced with black" satin under the brim and trimmed with the eraxy satin loops so much in vogue and bunches of violets. There aru all kinds of fancy lace straws and line Neapolitan or chip- peaked crowns, with open-straw brims.

knobs and splices. Kibbons arc not "in" this season for trimming, except the wide ones for Alsatian bows, llig buckles of steel, jet or silver aru worn on hats, but they'arolaid lengthwise- of the brim instead of up nnil down. Among novelties are the sleeveless silk waists, with rows of lace insertion running across the front. It only takes a yard and half of silk to oini of these, as the back of the waistcoat can bo. of old One 1 noticed was of blue siirah.

There were live rows of laec across the i.n the collar, two in the belt. The price of the gnrmen't was three dollars. The new shirt waists arc of tine pink Dr bl'ne chambray solid colors, with shoulder rullles and big sleeves. These are each. In regard to gowns, I heard an author! tyVay recently that if a woman sould only have two gowns a she should let one of them be tailor-made: ihen she would always be dressed like gentlewoman.

The improvement that a tailor-made yown makes in the figure is very marked, and it carries with it. as the result of skilled labor, an impression of extreme elegance. Long basques are worn by young ladies, short ones by matrons. The found waist with surplice front is ijsed this spring. A light material, called CLOTH ANIi LACK COSTUMK.

featherbonii-, is used to stiffen the skirts of dresses instead of horsehair. The umbrella skirt is a popular form for ifalking dresses and tailor-made. gowns. The draped skirt is seen in new models for these spring days. In the cloth 'walking suit in the illustration, the skirt is draped upon one side, and trimmed at the bottom with a band of fancy fnr, which also trims the surplice waist.

Sleeves and front of 1 ight tufted cloth, empire poke hat. The second dress in the illustration is of blue lady's cloth, draped on one side with lace. The arrangement of the waist is -new and strikingly novel. Hoth designs are direct from Paris. I must tell you- what a French dressmaker said to me on a recent visit 1 made to her establishment.

I was trying to explain to her in her native tongue I wanted the cloth for my new gown to be of an intense shade of green. She listened politely and answered in voluble English: "As for color, the green is the first, but the very more shades, not too much bright, are worn." that delicious?

King, "a folding bed saved my commission, and 1 ilou't like to hear them abused, Jt was while I was stationed on the I'lattc, some years ago, and some of the comforts of home were missing. My quarters were small and my.

cot bed was uncomfortable. I am a rather fat man, as yon see, and after a few nights of troubled sleep on the cot I sent east for the strongest folding bed that was made. A circus in a country town wasn't a marker on the sensation that machine caused when it arrived. Folding- bods were a novelty in the west. This one weighed nearly a ton.

I found it more valuable tlnui a valet. Uy a simple scheme I tnuirht that folding- bed to pull off my boots and draw corks." The three men at the table had emptied their glasses and were again moving uneasily. "With me this time, gentlemen." said the lii'UtenaiiL "Waiter, four and in long- glasses.

Now, as telling you," continued Lieut. King, "this bronco of mine could buck harder and kick higher than "Folding beds was the text." said one man. "And how you saved your commission," said another. The third man silent. "Dear me," said Limit.

You must know that life at a frontier post is very dull at the best. Thin was a rather duller than any 1 huvo ever been in. Shortly after my bed arrived the snow dropped on us heavy, and our only amusement was poker. We not up a nice, quiet little grime one Saturday night, five of us, and started in mildly oa dollar limit Perhaps you know how those frames grow. All of us had money, for we hadn't, been able to spend any.

1 have written a book on poker, yon know, and I do play a pretty stiff game. My room was the scene of the action, and I sat with my back to the folding 1 bed. At midnight we decided to forget the limit and play table stakes. "Luck was dead against me. I lost everything I had and then the other players agreed to take my I IT'S that I might have an opportunity to do something.

Hut still luck was against me. At three o'clock I had one thousand dollars In paper out, and I knew that if I didn't pet some of it back I should have to throw up my commission and get out. I was losing- my nerve, and a young lieutenant next to me was forcing his luck. My paper was thicker around the board than passes in a Philadelphia theater. The lieutenant who was in luck started.a one hundred dollar jack pot and suggested, just to moke it lively, that we should have a sweetener of ten dollars.

Say, that pot was a eorker. We were all stark crazy at that stage of the game, ready to gamble for our lives. None of us could afford to play for such stakes, but that didn't mattor. The deal kept going around, and no one could open the pot, which increased fifty dollars a clip. This may seem an exaggeration, but as 1 remember the event it is not; that pot was sweetened for an hour.

"It became a big pile of I U's. We had drinks on every deal. Those were gay days. I was getting desperate. My money was gone.

My credit was nearly exhausted. I knew that I never good unless I opened that jack-pot. An inspiration came to me. My trusty folding bed! That it stood behind me, warranted to open anything from beer to champngne. I reached back, grabbed it firmly and stealthily pulled it down.

It was a low trick, but, as I said, my honor was at stake. Each man was intent on the game. He watched cards and not his neighbor." The three men nt the table were breathing hard and listening. They had forgotten their drinks. "As I said, I pulled that bed down without attracting.

Vl 'iJ- SETTLING AN OLD SUIT. now i Backwood.i In MIMonr: Wiped Oul Houndnrf. Asa Moeson served in the capacity oi justice of the peace in one of the back counties of Missouri in the good old times preceding the war. His knowledge of law was extremely limited, and he wouldn't have, known a mandamus from an alibi, but ho possessed a fine sense of justice, and his decisions, though sometimes original, were usually in favor of the right, and for the promotion of -peace and harmony. On one occasion he had on trial before him a case entitled Hunter vs.

Kiggins. in which the cause of dispute was a line fence separating the farms of the contestants. The plainlilT was a young widow and thi? defendant, a bachelor, and a good many people, 1'ie squire among the number, felt that it would have been better for the happiness and prosperity of both if they had joined in matrimony rather than a battle. When the case was called there was an army of witnesses and a world of evidence, and all so conflicting t-hal; it would have required a Solomon to have rendered a just decision. Squire Hoison liMi-ncfl, scrn.tchi-,1 his head and looked completely 1.

"This is a case." he said, when tin- last witness had testified, "thatstnmii- me, and 1 iicknowledge that I'm JJoth sides has proved every p'int, set up, and both has disproved everything proved by each other. The? evjdenci: is jest a standoff all 'round, an' I'll bo handed if forty Philadelphia make out which is right and which is wrong. Now. as I understand this matter, "the whole question is whieh of yon two parties owns a six- foot strip of land lying between your two farms. Tile line between the two farms has been surveyed and located a dozen times, first by ona party and then the other, an' no two of them surveys has put the line in the same place.

Now, I bulievc this matter has been in dispute a good many years in the courts an' out, an' that it has been decided a dozen times one way an' another, but that so fnr nobody has been satisfied an' nothin' like a settlement has been reached. How am I to decide this mattor when the surveyors can't agree on the line and the courts ain't never been able to agree on the ownership of the land? An 1 what ffood would it do if I did decide when the one I decided agin' would go right to work to git a new hearin'?" Neither of the interested parties made any answer and after a short pause the'squire went on. "It's well known' to mei" he siid, "that neither of you'two' ain't responsible for this lawin', because neither of you it It wis begun by your fathers 'way back years ago, I'm of the 'opinion you both, in your hearts, wish you were done 1 with it' But I can nowyou'will never git done with it by lawin' over it. Never in the world, for ho courts will over ao'ttle on the ownership o' that six-foot strip o' ground." The 'squire paused, put on his spectacles, and looked very hard at the disputants. Directly he resumed: "Yet this matter can be settled," he said, "an 1 this court feels that it is her duty to settle it.

She don't presume to say who is right nov who is wrong, nor whar the division line between the farms ought to That wouldn't settle nothin' if she did. Thar is a better an' a more sensible way o' gettin' this business. My decision is that tharshant be no division line no more, an' that the two farms be consolidated into one." The contestants looked at the squire in amazement, and almost a minute passed in perfect'silence. Finally Riggins gasped: "Consolidato the two farms into one! How cm that be managed?" "Jest as easy as fallin' off a log. AH yon have to do is to stan' up yere afore me 'bout ten seconds an' I'll have it fixed- I'll make you man an' wife, an'then ther'won't need to be no line between the farms.

Come, that is my decision." "That we must marry?" Riggins asked. "Exactly." the squire replied. But Mrs. Hunter-i" Kiggins stammered. "It's all right with both of you," the squire interrupted.

"I know it if you don't. Come, stan' up. or I'll fine yon for contempt." The contestants exahangeil a glance and each saw wlr.it it was in the heart of the other. Tliev iri. with happiness, married.
