The sticks are plain. Hemstitching is also a feature. But comparatively few are yet in the market, and these merely as concessions to the curiosity of seekers after novelties. They look nice with summer fabrics, and now the display of the less expensive thin goods, such as women like to make up at home during Lent, is at the full. The new madras is not very differ? ent from that of former seasons, but some of the better ready-to-wear shirtwaists have plaits, very narrow indeed, but decided, /on the fronts.

Silver and gold lace are very fashionable, but so very unsatisfactory on account of their tarnishing quality that they can scarcely be worn out of doors. A touch of gold is frequently seen on the hew turbans, however, often as the sole bit of trimming bn a simple Turkish sort of hat that is almost an exact reproduction of a fez, imitation can go no further.
