FOR DAINTY FINGERS TO MAKE.
other color may be substituted. Tho
belt at the top is made Of ribbon of any
preferred color set on stiff foundation
belt, with large chou or cabbage"
bow in front The pretty collar and
cravat just below is of pink chiffon EN-
broidered with rosebuds and edged with
plat val lace. The collar is Of chiffon,
embroidered more closely with the rose
buds and covered over net foundation
to keep it stiff.
The vest blouse at the left Is made Of
silk null, white or in pale colors, shirred
at the waist line and with pointed
yoke and fall of guipure lace. Tho col
lar is of several bias folds over stiH
foundation. This could also be made Of
soft silk or Grape.
The shirt front on the right is made Of
pale blue China silk, and trimmed with
fall and jabot of Alencon lace, and
where it fastens at the back there is
small bow of ribbon. This is very dressy
and pretty, and disguises too full fig
ure and is rs graceful for slender one.
Among the other feminine fancies are
the exquisite little bags that are carried
on the arm. They are scarcely large
enough to hold more than handker-
chief, purse, powder box and one or two
other trifies, but they are embroidered
in most beautiful manner, fringed
with fine and costly beads, with lace
rufIies around the opening and with
two long loops of ribbon and bows which
are to slip over the arm. For evening
these will have lunches of flowers fas-
tened on them, and will be Of the ma
terial of the dress.
Tho bonnets are the fimsiest and most
filmy creations have ever yet seen. OF
tulle lace and few most delicate flow
ers, like white or pale pink azaleas, or
! anemones, or wild roses, all OF the most
exquisite perfection. Few ribbons are
seen on bonnets, unless perhaps one
long loop standing forward in an un-
compromising way. Small jeweled pins
often are the only ornaments on lace
bonnets. They are all very small, how
ever, but costly like jewels.
| Among some of the bonnets that are
to see daylight at Easter noticed one
made of black Brussels net, puffed along
the edges of frame In beaded puffs.
| The crown was the same, and all the
rest Of the surface was taken up by pink
hyacinths, with an upright spike OF
those lovely flowers in front.

large and long, bat do not set up quite
SO high on the shoulders, and l should
have remarked that the Prince Of
Wales feathers and effects still prevail
ON hats and for the hair for evening
wear, but on hats they are set at the
back or TO one side, not directly In front,
as they have been.
The lovely organdie and painted lawn
dresses viii have parasols to match, all
coveBed with soft little nyaway rufIies.
Gowns for elderly ladies for home are
now made Of rich dark reds and other
warm colors instead Of the depressing
black 50 long the fashionable wear, and
they are becoming and pleasant to look
at. The pretty changeable silks make
up into very suitable gowns also for the
dear old grandmothers.
