THE PITTSBURG DISPATCH, SATURDAY, MARCH 28, 1891. PROPHETIC -MIRRORS. Btransje Sights Seen by Investigators of the Magic Glass. INSTANCES OF EVENTS FORETOLD, The Explanation of Some of the Tery Curi- ons Cases. THEOEIES EEGAKDISG WHAT IS SEEN EveryboJy has heard of the magic mirror, and everybody has taken it for granted that it was an instrument of fraud made possible by credulity and superstition. The Old Testament abounds with stories of divination by means of reflecting surfaces, such as shining metal, crystals, water and glass. The high priests sometimes received revelations from Jehovah in an ornament of six bright and six dark stones. Divination rings were also in use. The cup which Joseph put in Benjamin's sack was the cup from which he was wont to divine. The thumb nail has also been used and has proved or marvellous power and faithful ness. TVhile a favorite method in some places is to pour into the palm of the bent hand, and in its depths read the messages from the unknown. Mirror-gazing was always popular in the Orient, and as a superstitious practice still prevails, says a writer in the St. Louis Tost-Dispatch. In Egypt in 1S34 a magi cian conjured up the figure of Lord Nelson, which he described to the bystanders with perfect fidelity. The most successful of all tbese was a Dr. Dee, who lived in the latter part of the sixteenth century. He used a crystal called the holy stone, which was large and round. Spiritualists Use the Glass. The regency of the Duke of Orleans through the death of the Prince was pre dicted by means of the mirror. This is the last historical case of prophecy by this means. American spiritualists have used ihe mirror and pretend to have good results and accurate intormation from it. It is im possible to suppose that all the numerous instances of visions are wholly fraudulent Some flick of truth must be in them, for there is too much unanimity of testimony and close agreement in the evidence to per mit the belief of pure superstition. Never theless, no attempt was ever made, until the past ten years, to study the subject, and by sensible people all the stories were rejected as so many tables. But a few years ago a number of scientists in Germany and England took up the sub ject and have gazed persistently into the mirror and patiently waited for the sights they hoped might reward them. They maintained that the tales of magicians could sot all be sheer lies and even though no prophecies were made on the strength of the mirror something real must in some in stances have appeared in the magic glass. Only the old-time magicians probably erred in attributing tne images to an external in fluence. "Whatever they saw in the mirror was put into it by the mind of the gazer, was "a projection from the unconscions depths ot the seer's own soul, not a reflection of any actual oDJect rjre&ent before the glass. Sviih this assumption they began their ex periments. A Woman's Ylblons. The Berlin Society of Experimental Psy chology laid in a stock of mirrors, crystals and other reflecting surfaces and the mem bers waited for developments. But after a series of experiments extending over several years they had nothing to report. The mir rors give forth no visions. In England, however, better luck has attended the efforts of the Society ot Psychical Research. A lady reports to the society a series of 70 ex periments ot m hich she made caretul notes. She is said to be clear headed and fully alive to the fact that whatever is seen is simply a subjective illusion as it is called. Colored bright balls, the back of a gold watch, mir rors and rock crystal were all used, the last mentioned producing the best results. The simplest case reported is this: "I find in the crystal a bit of dark wall covered with white jessamine and I ask my self where have I walked to-day? I have no recollection of such a sight, not a com mon one in the London streets, but to-morrow I will repeat my walk of this morning with a careful regard for creeper-covered walls. To-morrow solves the mystery. I find the very spot, and the sight brings with it the further recollection that at the mo ment we passed this spot I was engaged in absorbing conversation with my companion, and my voluntary attention was preoccu pied."" This was a simple case ot double consciousness. When the lady passed the spot she did not know that a fact had passed into her consciousness and she would never have known it had it not emerged and been reflected from the crystal. A Very Carious Case. The next case is a cnrious one: "I had carelessly destroyed a letter without preserv ing the address of my correspondent I knew the county, and, searching in a map, recognized the name of the town, one un familiar to me, but which I was sure I should know when I saw it. But I had no clew to the name of the house or street, till at last it struck me to test the value of the crystal as a means of recalling forgotten knowledge. A very short inspection sup plied me with 'Hibbs House" in gray letters on a Mliite ground, and having nothing better to suggest from any other source, I risked posting my letter to the address so strangely supplied. A day or two brought me an answer headed 'Hibbs House' in gray letters on a white ground." This was a trick of memory. The lady had the impres sion midds House lmDeaaea in ner con sciousuess, and it is not mvstenons that it i came forth when tempted by the magic j mirror, hut it is mysterious that it should appear in gray letters on a white back ground. That seems to be prophecy. Here is a case of mere memory, but it is marvelous and incredible: "On March 20 I happened to want the dale of Ptolemy Philadelphus, which I could not recall, though feeling sure that I knew it and that I associated it with some event of import ance. When Looking in the Crystal some hours later I found a picture of an old man with long white hair and beard, dressed like a Lyceum Shylock, and busy writing in a large book with tarnished massive clasps. 1 wondered much who he was and what he could possibly be doing, and thought it was a good opportunity of carry ing out a suggestion which had beeu made to me of examining objects in the crystal with a magnifying glass. The glass re vealed to me that my old gentleman was writing in Greek, though the lines faded away as I looked, all but the characters he had last traced, the Latin numerals LXX. Then it flashed into my mind that he was one of the Hebrew elders at work on the Septuagent and that its date, 277 B. C, would serve equally well for Ptolemy Philadelphus. It may be worth while to add that the fact was not in my conscious memory at the moment, that I had once learnt a chronology on a mnomonic system which substituted letters for figures, and that the memoria technica for this date was how Hebrew elders indite a Greek copy." The use of the magnifying glass in this experiment onlv adds to the mirror. The numerals LXX. were, of course, projections of the experimenters' own subconsciousness, but it is nard to ex plain how the magnifying glass, a mechani cal device, gave definition to the vague hint of the crystal. The Music Portfolio. In the case given above the visions were clearly projections, or subjective illusions. The gazer got out of her mirror precisely what she put into it. The mirror acted as a sort of a spur to the slumbering conscious ness. But others are not so easily explained. "On Saturday, March 9, I had written a somewhat impatient note to a friend, accus ing her of having, on her return from a two months' absence on the continent, spent ten days in London without paying me a visit I was not, therefore, surprised when on Sun day evening she appeared before me in crystal, but could not understand why she should hold up, with an air of deprecation, what appeared to be a music portfolio. On Monday I received an answer -written the previous day pleading guilty to my charge, but urging in excuse that she was attend ing the Royal Academy of Music, and was engaged there dnring the greater part of every day. Tms intelligence was to the last degree unexpected, for my friend is a married woman, who has never studied music in any but amateur style, and who, according to the standard of most ladies of fashion, had finished her education some years ago. I have ascertained that she in fact carries a portfolio corresponding with the sketch I made of that seen in the vision." The explanation given of this is that the gazer was mistaken, that she had heard casually ol her friend's newly-awakened interest in music, and that the portfolio 'was a projection like the Hebrew Elder. The fact that the portfolio which she had seen was similar to that given by the crystal is explained as a coincidence, but it is hard to believe. The only other way out of the difficulty is by referring the whole thing to telepathic influence that is, thought trans ference. The Strangest in the 1.1st One more vision, perhaps the strangest in the list: "On the evening of March 11, be ing tired, I was about to go early to my room, when it occurred to me to wait for the last post, already late, that I might not be again disturbed by having letters brought to my room. I took up the crystal rather to pass away the time than with much expec tation of seeing anything; for, as a rule, when one is tired the concentration of atten tion necessary to crystal vision is somewhat difficult to attain. However, I perceived a white object on a dark ground, soon becom ing more clearly defined as a letter in a very large envelope torn at the edges as if not sufficiently strong to hold its contents. An other envelope of ordinary size, lying at the top, concealed the address, ana the writing on the smaller one was too much blurred to decipher. The vision was momentary only, or I might have applied the test of the magnifying glass, which is sometimes, though not always, ot use in such cases, I thought it possible that the vision might be merely the result of affectation, butit seemed at least worth while, after making a note of the fact my invariable rule whenever pos sible to test its significance. As a matter of fact, the letters were lying on a seat in the hall, showing white against the dark pol ished wood, placed there, possibly, by some one leaving the house, who had met the post man before he had time to ring. The letters were two; the lowerone, which had burst the envelope, was the size of a sheet of letter paper not folded, and was for myself, the upper one the usual size of a note and not for me, which may have accounted for my in ability to read the address." The question here is: Did the two letters come by the last post? "Were not they on the seat in the hall when the lady passed through earlier in the evening? If so, it was merely a trick of memory. If not, then it was inexplicable prevision. IVo Never Can Forget. These examples are given by Max Desoir, a German investigator, in a recent number of a philosophical magazine. The mirror has beeu variously explained as of magical power such as can call out the latent facts of memory or prevision, or as a devil's toy which can be used only by those possessed by the devil. Hypnotism has been called upon to explain Ihe phenomenon. But these explanations as Desoir points out do not ex plain. "Hypnotism" and "masked som nambulism" are nothing but words thrown in to cover destitution of knowledge. It would be quite as satisfactory to say x or y, for hypnotism and somnambulism are un known quantifies and have themselves to be interpreted in terms of the known. The ex planation offered by Desoir is that crystal vision is a form of the activity of the subconsciousness. Beyond the im mediate cognizance of the individual lie both consciousness and memory. Every sen sation which becomes a perception eflects a permanent impression on the brain struct ure. "Not only are physical vestiges left behind in the cortex of the brain after every perception, but also psychical dispo sitions to the formation of ideas ana images." "It is possible for images of all kinds to exist without distinctly attaining to consciousness." The lesson of the crys tal seems to be that there is no such thing as forgetfulness. The fact once impressed on the brain is there for life like the impression on the phonographic wax, ready to be called out by the necessary conditions which may be internal mood or external circumstance. Dreams are of the same nature as crystal vision. Out of the depths of the subcon scious personality at times rise these fantas tic visions, utterly defiant ot all rule of rea son, but which perhaps are quite as real as the better ordered images of our conscious personality. THE FINAL SESSIONS Of the missionary Societies Held Yesterday Officers Elected for the Ensuing Tear and the Reports of Secretaries Heard All Are Enthusiastic The final sessions of the "Women's Home and Foreign Missionary Societies of the Presbyteries of Pittsburg and Allegheny were held yesterday. At the morning ses sion the reports of secretaries of different departments were heard. The Home Sec retary's report shows that there are now in existence 81 auxiliary societies and 79 young people's bands. The afternoon session was devoted almost exclusively to consideration of routine business. The Treasurer, Mrs. Thomas H. Robinson, submitted her report for the last year The total contribution from all of the societies to the home mission work amounted to $10,237 89. The election of officers resulted as follows: Piesident Mrs. S. P. Harbison; Vice Presi- dents, Mesdames George A. Kelly, A. G. "White, J. L. Fulton, "W. C. Burchard, E. E. Swift, J. M. Maxwell, "W.

Patterson; Freedman Secretary, Mrs. O. L. Miller; Sunday-School Secretary, Mrs. J. M. Shields; Treasurer, Mrs. T. H. Bobinson. Keports were heard from the various auxiliaries represented, and showed the en thusiasm that is taken in the work. The question box was opened and a large num ber of questions pertaining to mission work answered. Besoiutions were passed expressing the gratitude of the meeting to the ladies of the North Church for the delightful entertain ment they had given to the delegates. The meeting then adjourned.

LIFE IN THE BALMY BAHAMA ISLANDS 1 CORRESPONDENCE Or THE DISPATCH. I NASSAU, N. P., March 16. "Where is Nassau? What Nassau? "Well, not the one in which Johannsberg is located on the Bhine, where Prince Metternich makes the Bhine wine and sells the same at $4 to $6 a bottle and puts the money in his blue blooded pocket, but the one that Americans have a vague idea about It is that one where eternal summer prevails, and is lo cated well, the fact is, this Nassau stands out in the Atlantic Ocean, and if the Pitts burger who don't know wants to know, will imagine himself standing on "French Beef or some other rock or key about the extreme lower end of the eastern coast of Florida, with his back to the west and his face to the rising sun, he will see this Nassau exists and has its place among the Bahama group of islands about 170 miles in front of him.. It is on the Island of New Providence, and is the capital of a group f some 600 islands that are scattered about loosely, as though the great Creator of the Western Continent had a few crumbs of material sticking to his fingers at the end of his labor and shook his hand in this direction, and this group was the consequence. I don't ex pect any geological experts like Profs. Jill son or Leslie to agree with me in this. They will probably take the floor and talk about the coral insect or vegetable the influence of the Gulf Stream by its breaking through a part of the continent, and dear knows what not, but for my plain purposes my mode of construction will do. I will not apply for a patent, however. An Ornamental Official. This group of islands belong to the British and are governed by a governor appointed by Her Majesty, and the natives are permit ted to pay his salary. "What his duties are I don't know, as the people, most of the 13,000 being negroes, seem to govern them selves. They are so docile they require no government They are apparently neither at work nor looking for work. I saw one shake a few hundred flies off his person, but as they all came back at once he looked at them complacently and appeared to think the labor useless. The question was once innocently asked of a distinguised prelate, "What is an arch bishop? After cogitating a few moments the answer came: "An archbishop, my dear sir, is a person who performs the func tions of an archbishop." This, paraphrased, will probably ao for the Governor of Nas sau, Sir Ambrose Shea, who is said to be an Irish gentleman of the old school and an excellent man in every way. The ship Santiago, 'in which we sailed from New York, proved to be a high roller on what I thought a very slight provocation, or rather a storm, and with only pretty foam-crested waves about ten feet high, but sue did the "Carmencita" skirt dance and writhed and rolled her body with all the grace that any female would envy, and, as usual, all the other females within reach be came well, most of them took to their bed;, and queer sounds came through the lattice of the state rooms like this: "O-o-o-achl" "O-o-o-o-ghl" "TJochl" "Oh. dearl" "Cracked ice champagne!" "Lemon!" "Whisky!" "Brandy!" "I'm dving!" "You'll be better to-morrow, dearl" "Oh, go awayl" "Mammal" "Broodsand!" "What, precious?" "Are you sick?" "Get out, you little villain; what a question!" "O-o-o-o-o-schl" "Whoopla!" "You unfeel ing wretch, to let so many people die without the aid of a physician." Scores of Amatenr Doctors. "Well, come to think of it I am, when in Pittsburg, looked upon by many persons as being a physician, but here I am as yet quite undetected, but there are man y amateur doctors with infallable cures right around me with which to aid people in dy ing, which is not my business. In fact, I have been forced to take two glasses of iced champagne by one of them, with the assur ance that it was a prophylactic. This ama teur doctor used that word and I thereupon used his medicine, and I can testify that the remedy has acted well thus far, and I am ready to take the dose again if I am forced to. The first day out, on retiring, after the shades of night had well set in, with reolian and Carmencita skirt contortion accompan iments on the part of the Santiago and the elements, I soon learned that two ladies and a small boy in the next stateroom were dying, at least they all freely admit ted to one another that they were, and they were sufficiently persistent and ostentatious with their unearthly sounds. I can't repeat them, as the vessel is now rocking as I write, and no amateur doctor has recently forced me to take iced champagne. But the "mawma" performed in all the notes of the gamut in an alto voice and the other occupant, probably an old maid, with a slight mustache and whiskers, at leisther voice sounded as if she ought to have them, joined in a bary tone, keeping pretty fair time considering the W3y "Miss Carmencita Santiago" was dancing over in the direction of the "sum mer seas," and the boy was getting in an occasional note in a minor key. I justly regarded the boy's notes as being the proper thing, as he, judging from his voice, was really a minor, but there was no actual oc casion for him whining like a Cuban pig under a sugar mill between his. other fairly well-turned efforts. Sore Care for Sea-Sickness. I determined to do something nice for these people, as they were very "near to me," only an inch board partition between us, and I couldn't sleep for their blanked noise. I pressed the button and called a steward. "Would he please ask the ladies in the next room if they would take a sure cure for sea-sickness?" "Oh, yes, if the gentleman would be so kind." I sent in a tumblerful; dose, tablespoonful every five minutes lor the ladies and a halt teaspoon ful for the boy. This kept them pretty nice and quit for an hour and I was about skating mentally away into dreamland aud hoping to some time tell the medical pro fession of this new, cheap, simple and always present remedy for the worst and noisiest forms of sea-sickness, when the barytone voice of the old maid aroused me: "Ob, my, I'm dying, dear. That medi cine; call the steward." The alio voice softly murmured, "don't get excited dear, the medicine has cured me." "Oh, you shut upl Call the bo'swain I mean the captain, I mean the steward. Tnat dreadful medi cine. Bing the bell, can't you." "Yes, dear, I will. How has the medicine af fected you. my dear son?" "O b, it's given me a bad pain." I slipped out of my berth and caught Charley, the steward, as he was going to answer the bell, and begged him not to dis turb the lady and above all to s.sy he got the medicine from an old gentleman from the other Bide of the ship. There are a dozen old men on board; and I assured him the ladies and boy would be quite well in the morning and not to be alarmed. My prognosis proved correct, but I will make no report to the profession upon this remedy as a speedy one; it fooled around too long, and was too much disposed to keep me in suspense and get me into trouble, in fact. Troubled With Bad Visions. I had visions during my lonely vigil that night oi meeting the corpse and his mother, or rather the corpse and' his aunt and mother, or the corpse and her maiden sister-in-law, the next morning, and if Charley couldn't keep a secret probably a "crow ner's quest" at sea and a promenade for me on t plank way out back into the blue be yond beyond, beyond. I stepped out of my room iu the morning apprehensive, nervous and dejected, and at the threshold of the companion-way exchanged glances with a very pretty mother, a chipper little son and a stalwart, comely feminine J. L, Sullivan that was fully entitled to a bary tone, yea. even a bass voice no whiskers; and the little boy whispered to his mama he spoke it short and spry now "That's the kind gentleman that sent us the medicine that cured us!" "How do you know?" "The steward, Charley, told me so." "What a boy Charley would be to lean on if the case had gone the other way. Thirty hours ont from New York and all is lovely. Cape Hatteras behaved himself pretty well, and from all I can learn of his actual behavior I conclude he is much maligned. The captain of the Santiago is a splendid fellow, with a voice with tones so sweet and clear and ringing that it charms all the best sentiment of my laryngologist heart. Ah, what a sweet thing Is the human voice as possessed by this healthful, ruddy, bright-eyed, rosy cheeked man, whose life has been amid the gentle trade winds under summer skies, and again in the fierce hurricane In the two extremes of climate. His voice has all the crystal purity, force, ringing cadence and sweetness that is needed either to "shiver my timbers," or "all hands aloft," or "belay there." I don't just know what these terms mean, but his voice Is equal to them all, and in the language of Jack Bunsby, when it is a question of voice, whether for any of the above purposes, or for cooing you "as gentle as the sucking dove," judging from the way the pretty young ladies on the ship smile and perk up when Captain Pierce comes up and "heaves to," "Ef any man kin, he kin." That is Captain Pierce, as jolly a fellow and able a sailor, and with a voice well I mentioned about that before and it's all I in fancy painted it, and more. In fact I examined his voice and there are positively no freckles on it A Pleasant Passenger List The passengers number about 70, all nice people, bent on reaching Nassau fur a rest and holiday. The aged merchant with his aged wife, and the young business man, who has made the trip twice before and likes it so well he is now taking his wife and sister along, and a lot of nice, young and jolly business men from Massachusetts, who are off from business cares to Nassau, Cuba, Jamaica and the "World's Fair at the latter place; an M. C. from Chicago; a Mr. Adams and his wife; a son of Lord Denbigh; a Mr. Fielding, who goes to visit the Governor of Nassau; some pretty girls and handsome young men; some of the Tan Bensselaer family from New York and your corre spondent, his wife and two young ladies. Altogether the passengers are a nice lot and compare more than favorably with what one meets on the best steamers crossing the ocean. The accommodations are excellent and the steamer rooms large, table good, of- Peers polite and attentive to their several duties; and I don't know of any ocean jaunt that a worn business man can take where he can so soon reach utter rest and comfort and restoration in a short time as he can on this trip. The pleasant surroundings, which are best illustrated by the fact that CO hours out ot Ne w York there were men in straw hats on deck with thin coats and a soft breeze blowing; flying-fish rising out of the sea like quail from the undulat ing cover and porpoises disporting them selves in the bluest of ocean water. These flying fish are a curiosity. As the steamer cuts through the waves these little fellows, from 6 to 15 inches long, making one's trigger-finger tingle, rise out of the crest of the waves and fly in singles, doubles and bevies to the right and left for 10 to 30 or more yards at a flight, and from 2 to 12 feet above the water, for all the world like quail breaking cover before the pointing dog, and if these little fellows could only be used for trap-shooting the rapidity of their veritable flight would positively preclude even the most expert amateur shots of the Sportsmen's Association of "Western Penn sylvania making straight scores. The big white gulls are in hundreds soar ing over and about the ship, watching lor a barrel of some ship's refuse to be thrown overboard. Some children near me are tempting them with bread, but nothing less than a barrelful causes them to settle down for lunch, after which they fold their nap kins, spread their sails and come on after the ship to be in time for the next meal. In my next I will tell you of Nassau, her unique characteristics and some odds and ends that I gathered up during mv stay there. "W. H. Daly. AN EDUCATIONAL QUALIFICATION.

Some Scrap3 Gathered About the Newest Ducks of Bonnets. FASHION SCRAPS AND SHOP HINTS A writer in the Paris edition of the Her ald says all thoughts are jnst now centered on what the spring fashions will bring. Shall we or shall we not have paniers? That is the question. Of course we are looking ont for light materials. Grays are going to have the call, as far as I can gather. You may have any shade of gray you like, but gray it must be. Fur on jackets has quite taken the place of any other kind of trimming, and long basques are the order of the day. As to the shades of color, the latest is what is called the Fontenoy blue, in which I seem to recognize our old friend, the electric blue. Take this and trim it with steel passementerie and you have one of the prettiest combinations possible. In the way of jackets, the prettiest I have seen have been of cloth, heavily trimmed with fnr. There have been a great variety of blues and greens. Olive green cloth has been very largely used, and without doubt has been the feature of the past few weeks. Black cloth, marine blue, brown of yarions shades have been also largely in use. I have seen some of the prettiest things in the way of jackets with stripes. Some New Spring Dresses. One of the prettiest gray dresses I have seen for some time was quicksilver gray, trimmed with velvet, and with artistic black guipure and silk embroidery. The skirt of cloth with an embroidered tablier. The corsage pointed, with attached basques of art guipure, stopping at each side of the back. The front is draped en fichu, open ing over a front of velvet, which terminates with a false corselet of guipure. The belt of cloth, opening in Y shape, starting from under the arm, tightening the fichu, and closing at the center of the front with a fieur-de-lys of black diamonds. The sleeves of velvet, with the top open in a slashing of art guipure. Light materials are, of course, to the front Let me give you for an example of a pretty costume a light woolen material of pink, brown and velvet, spatted with black, and an inset of black velvet. The skirt of woolen material, draped at the front and trimmed on the left with a pekined dart. The corsage drawn into the figure with a gerbe of pleats. The top open and rounded over an inset of velvet, which is attached to the lining of the corsage, and finishing with a high collar of velvet. The sides of the corsage of biassed pekin, which forms the basques. The sleeves close, of pekin, with top lull. Around the waist velvet ribbon. A New Riding Habit. One of the latest designs in the wav of a riding habit, which is supposed to give the rider perfect safety from catching, differs vsry littleiin appearance from the ordinary habit of the day. Its peculiarity consists in the way that the portion of the under side which is cut away to allow for the pommels is concealed when the rider is mounted. The arrangement is an exceedingly simple one. This skirt is opened up on the under side, as many of the other safety skirts are, and only a very small piece cut out, some what of horseshoe shape, at the top of the opening. Onto this is stitched a shaped flap of cloth, which wheu in position fits over the left leg from the knee upward, so as to practically convert the habit into a trouser so far as the right leg is concerned. A strap and buckle, to -which a long tape is attached, fasten this flap to the bend of the habit on the left side when the rider is seated. Before dismounting this strap is unfast ened from the band and allowed to drop, the tape preventing its falling down alto gether out of reach, and the effect when the lady is standing is to conceal the opening which is generally so unsightly in safety habits. A part of the arrangement Is a band of elastic, which fastens round the left knee to kei j the habi t in its place and is fitted with a split ring an ! snivel, which give sway on any pressure. Ball Dress Bridomalds' Hats.

At a recent wedding there were some really charming brideuuids' hats, made of the most delicate tint of heliotrope moussel ine chiffon, very well drawn, lor there is a great art in gathering this soft material on wire. They were trimmed with two tones ot violet in dark and light shaded velvet, with ospreys to match, and each one was bent to Buit the ace of the wearer; a band of gold galloon encircled the crown. They were to be worn with cream woolen crepe gowns, having bengaliue sleeves of the heliotrope. The bride had a stylish gray velvet hat with broad brim, turning up at the back, ribbon encircling the crown and a plume of feathers in the rear. A pretty bonnet worn on the auspicious occasion was bordered with gray velvet, enclosing a crown of white cloth. Styles for the flair. The question of hair-dressing is always one of the most important to a woman who pretends to be stylish. The Greek style is now very much a la vogue. A particularly hnndsome coiffure of the kind is formed with barettes of galloon of gold, with Greek patterns in stones and little fantasy pins. The second coiffure is ornamented with gold cord. A very pretty little spring costume is made of mousseiine de laine, of pekined foulard of cendre de rose of two tones and white print on it. The skirt is open on the front en tablier of white surah, held in by ribbons of white satin, which are tied in double at the foot of the front. Two rows of guipure.

A capote for visiting is of dark pluh, which is gathered in the irontin big twills, .md trimmed with gray feathers and ribbons of filagree silver. The strings of silver filagree and tied at the sides. For the theater a very pretty capqte is made of crepe de chine aurore, trimmed with aurore feathers. A cache peigne of feathers shaded aurore and cream. The strings of embroidered galloon aurore and cream. The Train Asserting Itself. The train appears once more to have as serted its sway. They are not, however, broad, but long and thin, and should by no means be allowed to extend tlienihelves out. All trains nowadays are made in piece with the skirt A,very handsome reception dress is made of amethyst faille, which is trimmed with passementerie and fringes of black silk, beaded with gold. The skirt is of -faille, with a straight tablier, which? is terminated with a design of passementerie, terminated by a fringe. The corsage with points, with a high belt of passementerie, which starts from under the arm opening in a V shape, and is terminated with a fringe. The cor sage is composed oi the back, sides of backs and sides of front, closing at the center, and draped to the figure in the form of pleats. A Medicis collar of passementerie, with small passementerie which runs down the edge of the front. The sleeves of passemen terie with a crete of passementerie which rises up on the shoulder.

The sleeves are full and bouflante, of" strips of crepe, with strips of Venetian lace in be tween. High wriBts and collar of Venetian lace. A small bow of silver ribbon in the hair. Another pretty thing in the way of cor sage is what is called the corsage altesse. It is made of smoke gray faille, pointed in 1'rotttand draped with braces, opening over a waistcoat and Medicis collar of plush vel veteen and passementerie of gold. The same passementerie on the sleeves of vel veteen. A crossed fichu of gauze, held in by a brooch. The back is draped with braces like the front, framing a point ot embroidered velveteen. The coiffure en grecque, with an Ascanio comb of tortoise shell. The skirt of this toilet is lightly draped in front, and the train is mounted behind with very big pleats on the short point of the corsage. Points Abont Bonnets. Black laca hats are trimmed effectively with butterfly lace bows and pnrple thistles. Evebt otberwoman in New xork, whether young and fair or old and ugly, is carrying about upon her head the pancake shape in hats. This style has a funny little way of shoot ing out into a point in front and curling up be hind. A prettjt visiting hat is made of maize colored velvet, with soft draped crown and nar row frilled brim, veiled with black Chantilly lace. There Is a jet cord around the crown, crossing the left side, starting from under a jet aigrette in front. The narrowed strings are of black velvet.

A single largo rose and a soft, flat pouffe of ribbon or velvet are also favorites. The bateau and tasse shapes are the most popular. The tasse or cap-shape toqne is worn rather far back on the head. Fashion Odds and Ends. The half-long sleeves are particularly liked for dinner and reception toilets. JUsy of the lengthened sleeves present odd successions 01 puffs and flounces baffling analy sis. MOTHEK-or-PEAiii, decorations are much used now on gowns of heavy material. Buttons are also made of this material. A styi,isii cape is made of cadet-blue faced cloth, trimmed with silver braid. An ostrich feather ruche makes a stylish finish. The cavalier, or Henri Deux cape, will take the places of jackets to a great extent. They are made of cloth and soft material. Moubselines de soies are imported in white and delicate evenme gowns, and are fig ured with flowers in soft French colors. Cloth in light colors is very fashionable for afternoon reception dresses. One of mastic colored cloth has a coat bodice, with cuffs and collar embroidered with gold. The effect of feather garnitures around the neck and sleeves is very soft and becoming, lending delicicy to even an indifferent com plexion and fairness to a good one. All the mock jewels, now So much used in passementeries and girdles, may be purchased in the quantity and added to trimmings much cheaper than the jeweled trimming can bs found. Small three-cornered Continental hats are of black chip, Milan braid, open straw and English dunstable. Largecavalierhatsof open yellow straw are turned up on the leftside and at the back. Handsome, yot comparatively inexpensive dresses, are made of cashmere combined with brocaded silk in contrasting colors.

At the back it was turned up with a V shaped piece of straw outlined with flowers, which rested on the back of the bonnet; the front was bordered with a cowslip wreath, and tho feathers were osprey tipped, recalling the bird of Paradise. A black dyed Tuscan shown in Paris was quaintly plaited and the crown raised with a rouleau of heliotrope velvet threaded through the plaits. The jeweled passementerie and jeweled butter flies had been applied to a black tnlle bonnec resting lightly on tho head, and a flat hat with the crown raised at the back, but tte best part of the brim was composed of black guipnre laid over gold gauze.
