therefore although Berlin may triumph in

The styles of making costumes varies po
but very little from those of last season,
materials for costumes of course are lad
lighter and adapted tro-the season, black for
silk as we predicted early in the season
will be very fashionable for costumes and h
as a natural.d consequence our merchants
are bringing on unusually large supplies
of black silk goods, which vary in price
from $1,50 to $3,00 per yard. Light
silks are usually in narrow checks and 31
can be bought for $1,00 per yard. Mo
zanmbigquees are also very much worn, and
Sare being offered at the low prices of to
r fifteen to twenty cents per yard. The
a b:nds and ruffles continue to be the fa
e vorite trinmmnirg. The bands are cut birtn
e and are usually of some pretty contrast
ing color.
If hoops are going out of fashion the
i, tornure or to call things by their right
Snames, the old fashioned bus/le is posi
t tively la mode. This immense lhmp again
disfigures the forms of our fashionable
, ladies.

r; wa,:u no, onet wu.nl4d have thought to r:
, quediou the right, wh,,,h every brother in t(
t hg'lo sta(nling had, to visit anly regularly
a ct.nstltut:d Lodge,. It is true, it was alway. 1
then the ,'l)rerogative of the Ma.lustr to refuse
.,,huisiou to any one not a member of his
Lodge; but this prerogative he was expected
rt to use with great disicetion--more particu- tl
ind I lrly so becauseu no one was comipctent to
1call him to account for it.
While tihe essential forms and ceremonies
ng of Lonry have not undergone nor admit
Sof any chlnge, we all know that it. inter- ,
11nal organization, and, to some extent, its c
ith government have been materially altered. r
ow In our owm country, more particularly,
we have sought to adapt the latter. as far as t
poasible, to our civil goeminment. Hence
ver te nunber of independent Grand Lodges t
is -one for ,:dmos;t every State or Territory.
tch The result of all this has been that Masonry,

Ehe ed, ha lo.4 its unity. Thu Freemascaon who

ta spirt from which even Grand Lodges
have not been free, to mnake even his visit
to a Lodge a difficult matter. I
irt BIut this is certainly an inroad upon the
wer ancient usages and customs of our Society.
e i .sozry haS ever boasted its universality-
afull j boasted that the well-instructed Atsuon
tin s rcog~ied as such every wht-re, and wiil

may beU found. Thi boast can certainly
