The Light Veil that Covers the Gs
Worlds Amusemsnts.
There are plenty Of opportunities FOR
woman to procure wardrobe that wi
cost very little, if she only knows how t
take advantage of them. Fabrics Of q
kinds were never so low in price as nov
and the variety is so immense and the cor
fusion of ideas so universal that even tn
conventional woman who always wants tn,
--latest" thing, gets mixed and finds it har'
to distinguish between the novelty of yes
terdsy and the novelty Of to-day. Tit
truly thrifty and bsrgain,loving woman
carefully studies style, in order to make {
costume which viii cost her from ten t.
fifteen dollars look like en- imported one a
from sixty to seventy-fve. Such woman
is always spoken Of as one who dresses 6
great DEAL" because she has bonnet tc
match every suit and q dress proper fol
every occasion. The actual cost of all her
bonnets is not, however, that Of one bought
at fashionable millinery establishment,
for she utilizes scraps, buys her frames and
little good, effective trimming and makes
them herself.
In spring and summer fabrics are to be
seen the most lavish display of embroidery.
All cotton materials will be very effectively
but not thickly wrought, The present fancy
is for spsrsely set work, more like needle
etching than embroidery. Flounces forty
inches wide will have twothirds of their
width covered by this work, with applique
figures in contrasting colors Embroidered
pongee in similar effects will be popular.
and also popgee having velvet sppliqued
with embroidery outlines.
Ali Lenten styles should be essentially
simple and plain Bodices made with more
follness formerly, and surplice waists and
blouses, than bretelles and plastrons, fchus
and capes will be the features in upper
part OF cotton goods frocks. The skirts
will be plain and long, both upper and
lower skirts being nearly of the same
length, the upper one slssted on one side
and slightly topped to produce bouffsnt
effect around the hips, and pouf in the
back. The lower skirt will not be founced,
but tucked and with narrow underline
hem ruffie at the bottom, or without any,
at the pleasure of the wearer or the dress
maker, as the case may be.
Women with more jsweled lace pins than
they knew what to do with now stick them
all over their theatre bonnets, where they
can be seen By on sdmiring public. The
new shade of pink is callee Venus, possibly
because it has the tender rosy hue of the
palm of q pretty hand. The old fashion
of wsariug q rosette of natural flowers on
the slipper is revived. This is highly graft.

name given one of the new
spring colors. 1t sounds very crisp and
crunchy. Brass bird cages are now being

In choosing canvas there can be no mis-
take. 1t is the fabric OF the day; the back
ground to know not how many different
pictures and provided you see amsng illu-
limitations, embroiderings, stripes lace
works and other diverse imsginiugs, the
familiar threads, travel on With confidence
and be sure among dozen forked roads,
that any one will be the right one. Let
me psrticulsrize Illuminated canvas
shows on the ground work, corruscation
of colored wool threadings of which the
general effect resembles some rich mosaic;
TOO rich in itself, but toned down BY a
plain combination; embroidered canvas,
we can readily imagine; more or less
elaborate and usually done 10 wool but
sometimes in elk. Striped canvas is quite
a feature. A very jubilee Of color is
reached in gay Roman stripes but from
such elevation, every note is sounded to
subdued shading Of one hue. Chaste and
stylish contrasts are noticeable,
too, are the pattern canvas
dresses brought out with the lower skirt
wrought in bagadere stripes Of graduated
widths commencing, Of course, wide at the
bottom. Lace effects are creation and
we have all sorts OF variations, from pat
terms where the original canvas Vsrp and
wool almost disappear By reason Of fancy
weavings, to those which show limited lace
touches traversing the plain surface at in
tervals only. Other material moreover,
combines with canvas; velvet stripes on
figures give diversity; bourette do,,ings
sparsely cover and occasional borele loops,
afford evidence that winter ideas ore not
all gone. Nor must 1t be forgotten that
The canvas Of this summer is an improve
ment on that OF last. Better woven. f'lain
canvas comes for combination or is part
OF the dress pattern. There is also prev.
