The Fashions
it is verv evident that short dresses
for the promenade, traveling and other
useful purposes, will be worn, if pos
fcible, more this Beason than they were
iabt. It is quhe astonibhing that so
sensible a lubhiou should endure for
more than one year; but ladies have
found the short skirt so exceedingly
comfortable and convenient that it
will not be cast off without a struggle.
There is one thing objectionable in
the so called short suits. They du
not clear the ground. It is true they are
6hort in comparison with the trained
skirt costume, but thfy are not Bhort
enough for particular purposes or for
chanlinesE'. A lady's skirt should be
at least two inches clear of the ground
to be neat and tidy, and not shorter
than that, although in Paris they wear
them mach shorter; but the Parisian
ladies are so petite, have such lovely
feet, and wear such daiaty boots, they
are almost excusable.
The short walking dress of the pres
ent season only emphasises the features
of last season. The Jjavense or nsn
wife tunic is as fashionable as ever,
the test and jacket for out-door wear
are more popularly worn than even
last season, the jacket reproducing the
t-tyleNpf Continental coat in the three
buttons which fasten it across the
chest, and in the cut-away skirt, which
dieoloseathe lower part of the ve6t,
and the vest having taken to itself the
leDgth and importance Of the old
fashioned waistcoat, either in reality
or appearance.
Woollen suits adopt the trimmed
skirt with the vest and jacket as being
much lighter for wear and much easi
er of adjustment than the overskirts.
But overskirts are by no means dis
carded ; they are'employed for walk
ing suits, except when it consists of a
skirt and polonaise.
The beige shades are the most styl
ish of all colore, fcr spring wear, and
are readily made becoming to any
complexion by the wide, eoft white!
muslin ties whioh are used for the
neck, or the dark ooutrast in trim
ming material, each as brocade or vel
et, which is employed for collar,
cuffs and vest. The pure beige shades
are, indeed, much less trying to the
complexion than the purple shades in
navy blue, the red wine shades and the
tan end coffee shades in brown.
Black costumes, both of silk and
woollen, axe aieo in the best possible
taste foe street wear, but the pore
wool, such as fine camel's heir or the
pure silk, trimmed with handsome
fringe and passementerie, are more
distinguished than the mixture of silk
and wool.
There is a great distinction in out
door garmc nts this season between the
wrap and those which ace designed
for fall dress . The long ulster retains
its place for all the purposes required
in travelling or for stormy weather.
It will also be used aa a duster as the
season advances, the only difference
between the present and last season in
tbia direction consisting of the closer
j cut and neater fit of these garments.
lue styles for dressy wear afford as
great a contrast as it is possible to do
to the protective bnt not particularly
bt cumiug, ulsters. They are small,
graceful, stylish and arranged so as to
oispiay, as much as possible, the e.e-
ganoe of the draae with whioh they are
worn. The Vinte' is. in reahtv. a
dainty little dolman, whioh closely de
uces tne figure, and reaches scarcely
below the waist. The 'Mantelet' is
httle more then a cape, with tabs, and
these are supplemented by small oapes
&d perlenes, or double collars, whioh
frequently attached to very deep
basques or Princess dresses, and com
plete a costume, at least for visitine
purpoees, without other addition.
A Robe of Glass.
In the large basement of the home
of 8 I an at No 1434 Mission street,
betwee t'enth and Eleventh , is now
weaving the most wonderful rubric of
which tbe oluminuus history of un
ique feminine apparel furnishes any
account. Ir is the materiel, as flexi

Tho Q lees 's colors, which were lost
in the aiiBSficre on the? Z ilu fruutier,
were recovered in Febrjuiry A pirty
of volunteers set out froni Rorke's
Drift and followed the Buffalo River
until they reached a crosning place
where to many British soldiejs bad
perished. Saddles, stirrups, spurs,
leggings, charms and articles of n&the
dress, lying by the roaring s rearx,
over huge bowiders, and passing be
tween precipitous cliffs covered with
bash and aloes, showed tbe spot where
the rushing torrent and savage foe
al ke overwhelmed many brava men.
About 500 yards below, at the cross
ing place, they succeeded in finding
the Queen's colors with the pole com
plete, injured by the action of the rap
id stream, but otherwise untouched.
The gilt Lion an. I Grown surmounting
tbe pole, and alsojhe oolo 3 .sa, were
found a few yards lower down. These
colors were borne back at tbe head of
the little calvaicade in triumph, aud
when Ro ike's Drift was reached the
soldieis, ove joyed at the sight of their
colors, gave tho hoartiest cheers for
the old flag and for Major Black and
the volunteers who had recovered
them.
Tbe Bank of France for some time
past has employed a pbotographio de
tective to examine suspicious docu
ments; and mo e recently has placed
an invisible studio in a,giUery behind
the enshiar. Hidden behind some
heavy curtains the camera stands ready
for work; and at a signal from any of
the cashiers the photographer secures
tbe likeness of any suspected customer
It is also reported that in the principal
banking establishment in Paris several
frauds have litely baen detected by
the camera, which under some circum
stancos exercises a sharper vision than
the human eye. When an erasure has
been made, for instance, i tbe camera
detects it at on3e, let the spot be ever
so smoothly rubbed over, while a word
or figure tthut to he eye has been
perfectly scratched out, is clearly re
