Washable Street Cowns—New Woo! Ur sses
—White Dresses—Lace in Piwlusion— New Hats.
Wiile new wool gowus for street wear show ai times the utmost eccentricity in garniture, styles out door wash dresses are medels of severe simplicity. Suits of linen, denim duck, canvas cloth or pique presents simple outlives aud a close pre- cision that is a contrast not only to fancif 1 y trimmed!chevi.t ,cluthsand kin- dred tnick tabrics, but to thin materials both washable and otherwise, that are ofien finished in most elaborate sty'e. When summer heats and dusty streets shall come, cool suits that may easily te freshened, will prove most attractive and they are now being rapid)y purchased by provident buyers. Short jackets cut in conventional shapes, area foregone con- clusion; and a blouse vest or trim waist- coat with narrow skirts hemmed complete the outfiit. Pretty contrasts are usually given by the veet or waistcoat; most of these suits are in ecru although some thow effective bars or dotting and a quota in blue, are extremely attractive. Although woo gowns, for street wear, ere ; ene:- ally cut in severe Outlines, and have no trimmiog other than strapped seams or occasional modest beading, yet others, set- ting at defiance all previous ideas and moder, appear trimmed by delicate lace and with combinations of white or colored satin. An example in ecru wool has rows of thin white insertion laid on the corsage, which is gathered to a belt; jacket fronts and shoulder frills are finished by Jace to

James Copy Deap.—A St. John de- *patch says: James Cody, who was 80 terribly i: jured by the explosion, at Green- head lime quarry, died this morning. He never lost conscieusnese, though terribly mangled. It appeared at the inquest that the explosion was caused by using an iron rammer instead of the proper wooden one in wadding down the charge. Long prac- tice of over twenty years without accident rendered the men careless.
Tre Hatirax—-The popular str. Halifs x, of the Piant Line, which suiled yesterday oo her first trip this season, has, during the past winter, undergone extensive repairs. The new furnaces placed in her are said to materially increase ber speed, and many improvements have been made in ber interval arrangements. The Hali- fax is now ove of the most commodious and comfortable passenger ships ou the Atlantic Coast. The popularity of her cflicers must also prove a drawing card to the company.

match, while a tucked white eatin guimye gives completion, and it may be added that, in general, corragesof the heaviest materials may show gathers. Great fan- cifulness arises from the placing together of the three leading colors, red, green and purple. A dark purple wool sheet gown has a short, fancifully cut j:cket of red satin, anda deepred wool dress has a fancy jacket of green velvet. Velutina also is much used for jackets and other combinations, because its soft surface is so velvet like.
White dresses are reckoned extremely Stylish and some ornate and expensive examples have the entire skirts consisting of successive rows of lace insertion alter- nating with narrow strips of the material, while finish is given by lace ruffles around the bottom. The corsages show quite as much lace as fabric and many other gowns not so richly combined as those just quoted show lace in profusion. In view moreover of lace being now so much used, its proper washing becomes quite a consideration, the more fo as inquiries have been made on the sutject. A lather of Ivory soap and luke-warm water should be made. Avo'd rubbing and rinse in cold water. To dry, place it emoothiy ina clean, dry cloth, rather than to iron. 7] he same rules apply to art embroideries.
Io millinery, birds and pluma_e are used to an unusual extent. Crowns are some- times completely encirclel by narrow, darting wings an they form a chosen com= plexivn to ful] garnitures of flower-; single quill feathers rise saucily as ever; birds breasts are used to some extent; entire birds embedded in fiowers are placed on turbans or may form the sole trimming, @ typical turban in rough, rd straw, having a red bird with partly outstretched wings, seated on the indented crown. A unique yellow straw has two long white ostrich plumes Jaid underneath the brim; ostrich tips nod everywhere and fancifully shaped strawa often have ostrich tips on the sole trimming. Sometimes also wide brimmed hats bave a number of rich, noddiog plumes as the only garniture.
