New psrssols are larger and longer
thsn those of last year.
Small tur bans made OF the dress ms
terisl com oined with ribbon or velvet are
to he worn.
Fousrds are to be IS popular IS ever,
and blue will be the constitutional shade.
A wedding novelty Is the making the
bridesmaids gowns Of soft, creamy white
velveteeps and trimming them with fur
Tucked panels Of china crepe on WED
ding gowns of moiEe are new and very
stylish.
Close wrestbs of roses, without leaves,
either quite upon the edge or half way
the brim, will be immensely stylish upon
lace spring bonnets.
Light reseda for the lower skirts with
bodice and drepery, or else polonalse of
dark olive green, Is fsvori:e combina-
ton for spring cloth suits.
New basques hsye pointed backs, slim
boned throughout, and though there is
IN e TT to trim sleeves iuto untidiness
the fevorite m de is yet the nstty run Of
folds, held by closely strapped bow.
new idea for bodices of soft stun is
to have the full front caught in at the
waist by bands of inch Wide ribbon 81
crossed as to form double diamond and
give slender effect.
Straight draperiss OF gray cloth, over
plaited panels Of wnIte cloth, with a gray
sash, forming paDniers, and gray wHist
shirred st shoulder and waist, make up
one Of the most stylish new spring cos
tumgs.
very chic stree dress, Just from
Paris, is long ridiog1te Of cray WOOL
'slltng Straight and plain over a plsited
skirt Of cry silk, and with wide wooden
revers rolled b6ck from plated chem
isetle OF the same gray silk.
Flower hats seem special fsvorites With
soung ladies', snd the importing milllneTs
have many orders for them. They are
made cut Of velvet and gauZe, and imi-
tate as nesrlv So possible the shape and
color OF the q overs for which they are
named.
Some o: the new fans have ss many SIS
ribs; those studded with silver
are novel, and the designs, with row of
ribbon down each rib ending In bow,
are txtre mely pretty. Some of the gauz7
fans nave row Of pansies painted along
the top, which is scallOped out in the
shape Of the flower petals.
A dream Of spring mist is gown Of gray
wooden batiste, with the full double dra
peries bordered with the silky selvsge,
and the waist rolled away in lorg, grace
full revers of the gray, from vest of pale
pink wooden crepe, set in very full, and
tied across st the waist line with gray
satin ribbon.
The newest thing in wells is strip OF
fae wire gauze. II is IS delicate as the
calmly silk fairs which women persist
in pulling down over their noses. and
much less Injurious to the eyes than the
dotted or figured net SO common upon
the street. In appearance IL does not
differ at all from the oIdinsry veil, ex-
cept perhaps it may be thought less fsx.
IDLE.
An elective little bonnet is in grass
green straw, with wide ribbon strings Of
the same color. The brim turns back
from the face ard hair little, forming q
sort OF frame, and oil inside is liIed with
tiny ivy leaves, also bright green. The
crown of this bonnet Is trimmed with
6lsck spotted tulle, tied in full upstand-
ing bow, aud in this no1s single long
stalked pink rosebud placed upright.
