IIety IN shoes IS by wearing diuerent
colored gaiter tops with them. lhese
garter tops are worn over low SHOES,
which come tins season WITH heavier
soles than formerly. Women VINO

Reign of White Again.
White will he worn 10 greater extent
the coming summer than ever Defo-e.
In former seasons white has been but
little seen upon the streets OF the great
cities and those VINO wished to wear II
have done so only for carriage rides or
for picnic expeditions. White mas never
appeared as a shopping costume or Oh
the promenades, but IL will hereafter.
All the great modistes are connecting
elaborate and also simple gowns OF
snowy white for the most fashionable
OF women who will wear them when
ever they choose. Spring light gray has
been growing lighter IN shade until It Is
only a shade aud some OF the so-called
gray costumes are nearly white. Al
many OF the fashionable spring OPEN
iHgs East white ladies cloth dresses
were seen, made for the street, COM
bned with a little purple, sage green,
ecru or black. This somewhat broke
the startling effect that an all-wnlte
cloth dress Is bound TO present. Very
natty and very stylish dresses are
shown entirely of white tabernacle
goods. The waist was tight-httlng, ex-
actly as 3 colored cloth would have
been, and the skirt was cut habit pat
tern IN the prevailing mode. With TINS
gown would be worn white gloves, white
canvas shoes trimmed with white leath-
or. white parasol, white card-case or
pOrtmonnaIe and y white hat. The
white hat - n question of choice. To
many white above the face Is so unbe.
coming that they prefer That the hat
itself shall be black, with possibly white
pompons or white trimmings.
Pasoda-shaped Parasois.
The parasoI has been OVERRIDING itself
each year until the present time, when
it IS really more an article OF ornament
than OF use. The tops of many are
pagoda shape and tile edge deeply
trimmed with tlounce OF lace. The
foundation of the parasol IS often OF the
filmiest lace, painted upon one of the
panels and III no way lined TO afford
protection from the suns rays. With
these parssOls there Is worn broad
brimnled hat which is often so tilmy in
texture that It IS scarcely more than a
lace network supported upon wire
frame. With these somewhat dlapha-
nous head coverings the woman OF
fashion ventures forth under the rays
Of the May sunshine with no other pro-
lection for her head than the coiffure,
which is this season very elaborate,
heavy aud complicated.
Carriers and HabIts.
There is one fad which must be
spoken Of in subdued tones, but It has n
tight clasp on the fashionable woman.
IL may be called the garter fad. the
ultra stylish are now buying a pair OF
silk garters with every pair Of stock
ings. Indeed, some ingenious fellow
has forseen the demand. and has an
