W 'Sf BEAUTY The flowers that bloom in the spring, in stead ofhaving nothing to do with the cise, have considerable to do with it, if the case is a new spring bonnet. On it thev will bloom in great profusion, great magnificence and great naturalness, A large Liberty street wholesale house haJ their spring opening last week and took orders from retail dealers for a sufficient number of roses, daffodil, morning glories, sunflowers, daisies, tulips, Easter lilies and chrysanthe mums to stock a national eouserv.itory of immense proportion'. Russell to the con trary, tbcj appear in the colors bestowed upon Thera Ijv tho kind, if exceedingly inartistic. Mother Na-ure and the ruses are imitated to the most minute point that of the tborn which pricks with surprising realism if yon cue it an opportunity. Tbe Covers mentioned vhich are the larger ones are to adorn hats of corresponding size and email sprsjs or buds of less pretentious flowers "small material" the dealers call them will deck the clote fitting bonnets, and smaller hats. Natuial Gas and Millinery. Everj thing is to be light and airy, regardless of the fact that this is no looser an exclusively gascty; but tbe knowing ones say it is the last teaon, doubtless, the atmosphere will not be taken into consideration when purchasing headnear. The joyous dajs ot delicate tints are over while tbe somber colors adopted by tl.e quakeie and nun will prevail In the citv ere another spring. However, it ln't we to borrow trouble even Though it is tbe easiest thing in tbe world to borrow, and unt.l sad experience forbids light ehades, Leize, tan and ecru willreicn ascrouns Tor tbe queens of creation. Heliotrope, too. will retain its grap upon the feminine beart and will be larjrelj worn.

It is a curious fact that millinery openings are getting earlier eachspung, aud a trifle later in tbe fall. W hat a gloriuus day it will be for long suffering, patient, enduring man when thev run together and one bill will answer all purposes! Lei bim console himself bv reflect ing on such a possibility when he receives an epistle in the mar future with a milliner's tamp on the envelope. Milliners are not alone with their early open ings I judge from the Beau rumm:ll imita tor I see coinins up the street attired in a natty dark blue suit of new cut, with gloves, stick, gaiters and hat of tan. lie looks like a New Yorker. Tawii Parties Now the Style. From time immemorial the sterner sex has prided itself upon its "stag parties" at which tbe gentle sex has been present only in imagi nation Laaies have had their exclusive parties also at which Dot a masculine, except in apron arid cap, could gain admittance, but until re cently they have never given them any distinc tive name. It remained for tbe bright young mi-ses of St. Zviers Academy to discover an appropriate name for such parties. After putting tbe.r pretty heads tosctber ana in augurating a se'ies of wrinkles in their for heaas tbe announced a "Fawn party." It was givcu just before Lent and was a glorious suc cess. All the prem fan shaped programmes Tjo'e the inscription "Fawn party," and no stretch of the imagination is required to associate the lovel, graceful girls with their bright eyes and wavy lialr, their color heightened by the exercise of tnppingiu rhtbinical nia uie over tbe highly polished, well-waxed floo', with tbe timid ani mal whose name they mil zed and wboe every movement is symbolic of cracs and beauty. Fawn parties will not be louhuea to St. XTier's, but as soon a Lent is ovtr will make liieir appearance in this citj Prepare Jura wae o: bronze-brown tair an lmuicne wae that will extend from tbe At lantic to the Facihc for the dmnc barab has tresses cf mat color, and hair dressers are al ready experimenting on dves that will prodnce the exact shade for the many ultra fashionable that change the color of their hair as thev do that of their gowns With Patti's last farewell lour tbe auburn hair received an impetus that id no wane until barab arrived. What next, I wonder? Forms cf Dinner In liatlons. Dinner calls are no longer correct form and written invitations, whn it is possible, are dis carded for verbal ones Such is the edict from Isew York, and onprinally from London, where tliey still take time from card playing and "sich" to make improvements on social forms lorJSew ioiE. Inclement weather is prevailing and sore throat is very popular. The sore throat is varied more in form and name than in feeing, and one can almost lMe their choice of names. The list of one physician, popular in society. Is as follows. Acute catarrhal pharyngitis, ca tarrhal tonsillitis, acute sore throat, acute ton sillitis, quins, pblegmonus pharyngitis, acute catarrhal larjngitis, ca.arrhal pharmgitis, spasmodic laryngitis, spasmodic croup, lalse croup.croupous laryngitis,membraneous croup, true croup, fallicular tonsillitis and diphtheria. And a gentleman who is not a physician adds to the list a "might) sore throat" and a "blank dash." or "revised version" sore throat. 1 ou pajs your monej and jou takes your choice and no matter what tbe selection made, the follow mg i tbe bill of fare all soups for two weeks, more or less: Green turtle, terrapin, chicken, chicken gumbo, putee ol gau.e, ox tail, consomme, tomato, trench bouillon, ju lienne, priutanicr. mntton broth, vegetable, beef, pea, clam choudcr, clam brotb, pearl tapioca and mulligatawvn.

As the class drill ends with a-heel-and-toe measure, a fantastic trip that Miss Nichols states has an exhilarating effect, there was a question as to whether the trus tees of the church would allow such a per forrasnee, but when its simplicity was explained, they readily al lowed the use of the church for the exercises. Miss Nichols, by the way, who teaches the Delsarte system of physical culture in the Sterret School, East End, and instructs a class of ladies at the Linden Club, has for some time been confonnded with Miss Best, of Meadville, who won the Sargent prize for being the best physically developed woman in America. Tbe report was not gen erally current, but a DlSPATcn reporter hear ing of it interviewed Miss Nichols, who is also from Meadville, and found that while she knows Miss Best, tbe two are not the same persons. Tbe report probably originated from the fact that the homes of the two ladies are in Meadville, and both are exponents of physical culture. Miss Nichols says that Miss Best is of a retiring dis position, and very much resents the notoriety given berby published statements. Miss Best refused to take the prize offered to her for being tbe victor in tbe conqnest aud she still continues to teach physical culture and elocu tion In the Meadville College.
