What VIII Be Worn This Spring.
The new cloths sent over from En-
glish and French manufacturers, for
early spring wear, are chiefly home
spuns and other rough stylish goods
i'll homespun colorings and effects.
These twilled woolens are shown in
the coiors which peasants in the north
of Scotland and in Ireland are accus-
toned to dye their homespun goods,
from dyes made OF native forest banks.
The familiar homespum blue, or cleo
trlc blue, IS n very prominent color
among the new goods, and will, no
doubt. be the leading popular shade
fors spring. a dress OF homespun blue
mixture will be made with q front and
trimming OF Il figured cloth III the
same shade, IL little dark velvet being
introduced to give relief to the effect.
Or such u plain blue cloth may be
made up i'll connection with u blue
cloth striped with white and figured
with blue balls on the white stripes, or
with IL blue figured cloth.
1t Seems to be III assured thing that
the new spring house gowns, and dress
eS intended for elaborate wear. will
be made with fuller skirts. Paniers
are shown IN the French plates. and Il
single ruffle or y soft cluster OF rilffies
is II feature which looks toward the
return of more boutfant, ]trou-frou
styles OF dress. Street gowns, which
to be IN good taste must beSOmewhat
severe IN style. will be but littlefullee.
A Partisan fad that has found somr
favor in fashionable circles in this
country is the use OF cloth in combi-
nation OF sheer gauzes and other ma
terlais for evening wear.
The jacket will remain the favorite
wrap for spring, though there are Il
number Of short jaunty shoulder COW
erings which will find favor with some,
persons.
Another new and very stylish out
door garment is Il coat made OF dark
green diagonal. trimmed with cuffs,
pocket lids and rolling collar OF passe-
menterie. The vest front is OF velvet
in Il darker shade to match the hat,
which is trimmed with green and
brown ribbons and feathers.
The. skirt is of gray serge, cut in
deep Vandyke points, each edged with
an inch wide band OF castle braid. Be
meath the points is IL wide band OF
green and black brocade.
These points, as well as rounded
tabs with contrasting material oe-
meath, sometimes set on plain, but
more often ruff1ed or plated, are very
popular for walking dresses. Made OF
silk or crepe, with tulle or chiffon fan,
are very pretty for evening dresses.
fIWere You, My Dear.
[ wouldn't turn my head to looB
after fine frocks or impertinent men.
l wouldn't forget to sew the braid
around the bottom of my skirt, or the
button on my shoe.
wouldn't conclude that every man
who said something pleasant to me
had fallen in love with me.
[ wouldn't feel that [ was an i'll
treated parsonage because, though |
could play pleasantly, my friends
didn't count me a modern Mozart.
would not, when l could only have
one frock, choose q conspicuous one
that would mark me as the girl in the
red plaid.
7 would not, because I was tired
and nervous, give snappy, ill-natured
to questions asked me by those
who really cared for me.
[ would not get in the habit OF
speaking in a familiar way OF the men
l know; when you make them Tom,
Dick or Harry they are apt to consider
you as Kate, Nell or Molly.
would not permit any girl friend to
complain to me of her mother-it is
lilf listening to blasphemy.
would not when [ brush the dust
off my hat forget the cobwebs of dis
trust and suspicion in my brain.
1 will not tell my private affairs to
my most intimate girl friend, nor
l ask her impertinent questions.
would not write silly letters to
young, men, nor permit them to be
with me.
/ would not grow weary in well-do-
ing-instead, would keep on encourag-
myself by trying to live up to my
ideal of a'woman, and the very fact Of
my trying SO hard would make me
achieve that which [ wished.-Ladies'
Home Journal.
