"TrEE GLASS OF FASHION
Spring styles.

ENGLISH BASQUE SUIT WITH LONG OVER
SKIRT.
The English basque with lJng, clnging
ovcrskirt is the accepted model for plain
suits of spring woolen goods, such as de
bege, vigOgne, cashmere, serge and alpaca.
Ii is also used for summer camels hair
overdresscs, worn with silk skirts of the
same color or black. The basque is of
| simple shape, depending on its fine fit for
! its beauty. The seams of the wide forms
| of the back, and indeed, all the seams, are
laid over and stitched on the outside. The
| pockets are merely flaps, the standing far
ring collar is in the Medcis shape. and the
coat sleeves fit smoothly The draping be-
| bind is very slight the sides and front
| hang squarely below, and cling closely to
the figure, being made of narrow CORES
sewcd to the belt without fulness. This
model is being used for dark blue, gray and
brown linens, trimmed with embroidery or
with muslin pleatings, and also for white
repped piques, embroidered on the over
skirt and basque. Percales, cambrcs, and
| plain prints will be made in the same style.
The lower skirt should be held back by a
drawing string across the back brcadths,
about three-eights or half yard below the
belt.
SPRING BONNETs.
The new bonnets are enlarged sizes of
last years shapes. A large crown is the
only feature common to all, rs there are
bonnets with coronets and without them,
and the vagaries of the brim are innumcr-
able.
CHIP, BUGLE NET, ETC.
Soft chip is the materia! for bonnets. The
white chips are better bleached than the
ecru chips of last year, and the black chips
are finer than any before imported.
Bugle net-tine Brussels net or tulle
with hanging bugles or else dangling loops
of tiny jet beads-is the material for sum.
mer bonnets. Few ribbons are used foI
trimming Instead, there is an effort to
revive regular gros-gran trimmings, as
many of the fancy stuffs, such as turkOis
silk, have proved unsatisfactory.
