No items received later than 9 iAl YVv o’clock Saturday morning, and to insure attention, should be received Friday.) yJStn WE BELIEVE that is a Haw' thornesque idea that mankind exists in an universal brotherhood and that the general striving towards something better is the tie which binds this brotherhood. This exclusive man, so very exclusive in his daily life, seems also exclusive in his ideas, for he says nothing whatever about the cord of sympathy which unites an universal sisterhood. The Easter gown, that subtle current which carries all femininity up to the same plane of excitement was untouched, when the first half of the nineteeth century reformers were suggesting their ideas. Nothing daunted, however, Dame Fashion has never weakened her influence since the days of hoopskirt and chignon. She moves restlessly from gown to bonnet and back again, breaking out in spasmodic convulsions, at one time telling her devoted subjects that busties are imminent; and again that crinolines are imperative, but never does she create such consternation as at the Eastertide. Then, winter furs and robes must seek the cedar chest, and busy brains must design their suecessors. But what must these successors be? Happy the ingenuity that can fashion something that has a poise distinctive in its grace, and thrice happy be the wearer that can excite the envy of her sisters. Just now there is no book so much read as the fashion journal; no picture so much scrutinized as the fashion plate, and no form so much studied as the human form. Quo Vadis was interesting a month ago, but it is vapid now as compared.to the latest copy of LaMode. A Madonna is greatly to be admired, but its colors are lifeless when put beside the becoming shades of the new green; the Venus of art may excel Hogarth’s line of grace, but what is that compared to the importance of knowing whether the tucks should run bias or straight upon the human form? Where is the woman whose whole intellectual strength is not now centered on spring styles? The shops, the fashion parlors, the home sewing rooms and the library tables all proclaim the fact that Easter frocks are reigning sovereign today, while last week’s millinery displays give evidence that young pretenders in the Easter bonnets are contesting the throne of popularity. Still, it is not all in the adornment of the person. The home needs its fresh dress. The warmth and comfort of winter are now out of place, and something light and airy must take their place. The shears and lawn mowers must be brought from the cellar; the garden chairs must be placed, and all made ready for the coronation of spring. Now, with all this before us, where shall we turn? What a serious question it is to determine whether a sash end should be tucked or flounced. And where is the arbiter who is competent to settle so vital a point? The fashion book, to be sure. Else, why have the New York designers been devoting their money and time towards European trips? The fashion sheet is their only mode of telling the feminine world how it shall array itself in order to do again what it has ever done, ensnare the hearts of man. The women of this southern clime make a quick transition from fur to muslin. The medium of a spring gown of light wool and serge is denied them, so the much discussed suit of today is anxiously passed by to await the coming of that crown to woman’s summer beauty, the organdy, with its billows of lace and the fresh little dimity that makes the morning girl just the very sweetest little creature imaginabie. In glancing over the latest collection of modes, some very acceptable ideas are gleaned, all of which go to prove that the summer girl of ninetyeight is to be every bit as chic and fetching as was her big sister when she smiled and coquetted at Newportduring the season that the word “summer girl” was coined. But the details of what she shall wear remain very much the same. Of course, the girl of this season mast have a sash, else she will not be a ninetyeight girl at_ all. She can ruffie or tuck it, lace it or hem it, but a sash it must be, and it must be the fall over the back width of a skirt, from a waist girdle of the same material. The majority of these sashes will be made of the same goods as the dress, but ribbons will also hold their own in popular favor. Only by way of having something to say, the following from Mr. G. Herbert Brown, the editor of the Galveston Saturday Review, and the critic of Galveston social affairs, is inserted. That is all right about Mr. Brown’s deploring the probable looks of the Galveston women in their Easter gowns. Just wait until he sees one going to the Easter service, and we will wager he is the first convert to her fascinating toilet. Mr. Brown says: If the evening gowns to be worn by the ladies of Galveston after Easter look anything like the fashion plates seen in Vcg’ua, Mode, Demorest and other publications which make a business of telling women what to wear, I pity them. Of all the ungainly looking' creations the fashion dictator for this spring has certainly found the most unprepossessing. Did you ever notice—but of course you have—the impossible waists these costumers put their styles upon? One wonders how the circulation is maintained, and unquestionably agood stiff norther would blow them in twain were they caught out of the house, The shirt waist is again to be the conspicuous feature of every summer wardrobe. There will be no change of pattern, unless it be a slightly smaller sleeve, but the tendency of colors is towards the solid, rather than the figured. If white be preferred, the fabric chosen will be linen with detachable collar and cuffs. The girl who can add to her swell shirt waist a nobby tie and belt, with a stiff brim sailor, tilted from the back is the girl to be uptodate this summer. A new belt supporter has at last been introduced, and the disagreeable antagonism between skirt and waist is about removed. The young woman who feels herself possessed of a summer outfit, and who does not include several skirts of wash fabric, stitched with a Spanish ruffle is a young woman quite a season behind the times. The house wife who intends giving a spring luncheon will bear in mind that the last horrible freak in table fads is perfumed better. The golden grease is made into little pads, and then laid on a bed of violets or roses or heliotrope for an hour, and then the whole placed in the ice chest to cool. Of the modish head dress just now in vogue, one has only to see elsewhere what Goldstein & Migel and the Fashion Bazar displayed at their opening on Wednesday and Thursday. Were there nothing else to redeem the new styles, these millinery confections would be sufficient. Not to have a touch of orange somewhere about the toilet is not to be considered as fashionable at all. When the summer days are fairly here, and the wilted locks bespeak the weather’s “melting mood,” then the women will rejoice that it is the style to keep the hair well rolled off the face. Pompadour puffs will remain in until next fall, at least. The athletic girl has nothing new to flaunt before the eyes of her envious sisters, unless it be the very fortunate miss who can ride by on her new chainless bicycle. Every spring gown must have some (Continuedon Third Pagre)
