SPRAYS of fine flowers, like forget-me-nots
| lilies Of the valley, mountain daisies, rosebuds
and tiny green leaves, violet, arbutus blossoms

A PARTISAN bonnet is made of primrose-col-
| ored crepe and myrtle-green velvet. The brim

SONS of the new apron over-skrts on French
| dresses are made entirely without cores, the
| five breadths of which they are composed being
| straight-nOt slOped-and they are thus as full,
| at the top as at the bottom, in order to give
the appearance OF large hips and vOlumnOus
draperies. Indeed. some Of these oyer-skirts
have the upper parts lined throughout to give
them greater size, though this lining is of some
| soft stuff instead OF the crinOline lawns.

| by puff, which Is usually continued round the
