soft coils and pufjngs are more becoming
to all faces and look best with loW-cut
gowns of lace, tulle or satin, Dut the
close basket braiding is still worn for
the street, as the braids keep smooth
and in place even during WINDY
weather.
Short curls on the neck are still in
fashion and there is tendency 10
lengthen these curls to reach half way
over the dress collar.
Wells AS BANG-PROTECToRS.
chow many wells do you wear out
week?" was asked woman OF faSnlon
the other day.
'Oh, one each day." she replied.
With lace-edge wells costing 70 Genus
each, this one item of dress is not
costly. The majority of women wear
the plain tulle which costs from z to III
cents veil, and manage to make one
last two or three times.
AT one of the uptown shops young
girl is kept busy from 8 in the morning
until at night. cutting veil lengths.
There is not one woman out OF twenty
who goes without bit OF tulle or gauze
over her face, and for what purpose?
Physicians say that wells do a great
amount of injury to the eyes, but women
know that the seemingly senseless bit
of stuff keeps the front hair In place anu
sOftens the features and complexion;
Yet in fashionable circles school glrl
is not permitted to fear fancy little
veil, although she may wear a dozen
gauze ones.
SPRING NOVELTIES.
Bell-shaped sleeves, as those flowing
from the elbow are called, are to pc seen
on most of the imported spring jackets
and tea gowns. They are in all cases
lined with silk. and often the silk is en-
brOidered ar braided.
Another noticeable feature OF the I'M
ported garments are the buttons, mostly
of wood, richly carved, and sometimes
set with a Jewel or Rhine stone. Few
metal buttons are to be seen, and those
of oxidiZed silver.
Corset bodices are among the novel
ties shown. Instead of having the cor
set separate. it is made with the bodice.
Ladies who are particular as to the tit OF
their gowns have found out how lmpos-
sible it is to have the waist without
wrinkle when different corSetS are
worn.
Then, with an evening dress the lac
ings in the stays and the upper edge are
apt to show through the delicate SILK OF

first fitted over an ordinary corset, then
supplied with lining of corded whale
bones, and refitted perfectly.
FLowER-GARDEN HATS.
Artificial flowers have never been
more profusely used on spring hats and
bonnets than they are this year. Sprays
of great pink roses, with many little
ones clustering about them, are seen on
many of the black lace hats; large clus-
tiers of buttercups and other small vel.
low flowers are used on all shades OF
brown and green; primroseS are worn
with the same colors and with black and
lavender, and even tulips; narclSsl and
ionquils the natural size are worn.
For young girls hats with three and
four-inch fiat brimS seem the faVorlte;
ladies of allages wear the little pointed
bonnets and turbans. Many large hats
in Leghorn and Milan straw, adorned
with tulle and gauze and laden with
flowers, are shown among the recent
importations, but they will not be worn
in town except, perhaps, at the late
June weddings.
