ankled appear for evening wear-a nov.
city in ladies' hosiery.
New lisle-thread stockings are in
bourette designs of two colors to match
summer dresses.
Spanish bonnets appear in Tuscan
straws. It remains to be seen whether
or not they will become popular.
Pure white damask is preferred fol
table linen, as it shows to advantage the
colored china now SO much used.
The earliest importations of French
costumes for the spring show few chang
es from the styles that are now in vogue
Linen dress0 will be made with pol.

Satin will be much ussa for trimming
spring and summer dresses. Some Of

A new design in mits for summer
wear is lisle-thread for tho hand, with
lace work beginning at the wrist and ex-

Tides, chair and bureau covers, made
with macrame lace, are the favorite fan

year made of velvet. ..--r
Bunting will be worn. There is moi
much change in this style of dressgoods

will be used for the summer, and the
neck and wrists of the dress are finished
with row of loops of narrow ribbon
