Charming Novelties for Spring and Sum-
mcr--Sacqucs for Infants.
Black underwear has come to be re-
garded as an essential to black toilet
whether for street or house.
Kid moccasins appear in the imported
baby baskets for young and fortunate
morsels of humanity.
Grapes, currants, blueberries and
small cherries are among the fruit
wreaths that garnish the latest bonnets.
Pins and bracelets of enameled BIOS
SONS are preferred to costly jewels by
young ladies of large means and exclu-
sive taste.
All the street wraps and many of the
basques are double-breasted. In the mil
itary Jackets braided frogs take the
place of buttons.
The patterned silks displayed
in shop windows are made up for cloaks
and worn for tho carriage, the opera or
theater party.
Two-inch strips of sable are among
the choice dress trimmings. 1t costs
S75 to edge skirt and assimilate vest
with this precious fur.
Very pretty challies can be bought
for seventeen cents. This material is
used for tea gowns, baby dresses, chill
dren's aprons and bed-spreads.
The long ends of mantles, wraps and
visites that reach to the knees are called
pans. TO finish them fringing of cut
garnet, filigree gold or passementerie is
used.
"Rats" is technical name among
cloakmakers this year, Many of the
jackets and wraps have high collars and
sleeve heads, to support which little
rat or role of wadding is inserted
On rainy days Broadway is bright
with colored umbrellas. Plum blue is
the most numerous; great many tan
silks are carried, and quite often tho
red, silver, green and gray of the mack
intosh is repeated overhead.
The "all over" cloak intended for
travelling and shopping is something of
novelty. 1t is cut to fit like an ulster.
No lining is used and the sleeves are of
the bishop pattern, full at the shoulder
and gathered into wrist band.
Some of the new face yelling of point
d'esprit is finished with pointed edge
of silver, gold or black. Among the
dotted net there is pattern in which
only few black pastille or polka dots
are woven, placed so far apart as to give
the piquant effect of patches
With the low-cut coat basques so de-
cidedly tailor-made, little vest is
worn, and usually two go with the suit,
one of cloth like the dress and another
of Marseilles. This smart little affair
consists OF standing collar and bosom
five inches long, which is provided with
holes to button on the dress collar.
The spring wrap is an ulster made of
check or striped cloth, with tight
back and long, full sleeves. For sum-
mer the large round cloak to cover the
entire costume is the proper wrap
which answers to gentleman's top
coat. For making it, twilled silk, lus-
trous mohair and changeable glorioas
are selected.
A very showable effect is obtainable
in the combination of silver and black.
Use q fancy silver braid about the col
lar, yoke and darts of the black basque,
get black bonnet or toque and orna-
ment it with cord, wing or rosette Of
silver, have silver color gloves and
shoes, laced and tipped with the bright
gliding.
Tiny sacques for infants, lined with
colored silk, retail at 81, the edge being
finished with hand embroidery. One
yard of embroidered French flannel and
half yard of rose-colored silk will
suffice for the wee sacque and save the
buyer two-thirds of that figure. The
full yard of flannel must be purchased
in order to get the needlework.- Y.
