fective across the line where the yoke and
fuliness join, around the neck. and the
wrists, and if you can afford another band
to catch down the full puff of the sleeve.
and another at the feet, you will do we'll.
Especially is the result good when both
gown and fur are white.
Already there seems to be touch Of
spring in the air. for on clear. suns.iny
days one sees the spring maiden step forth
a-rayed in pale-colored garments, with
violets in hat looking bright and bloom
ing. Two walked together yesterday,
looking fresh and fair as the crocuses that
are just preparing to lift their heads.
The first one was clad in palest gray. A
little above the edge of her skirt, all
around, were laid great stars of black vel
vet, that stood out most strikingly. she
wore long triple cape of pale gray, each
division of which was edged with dark
mink. Her pale gray hat had single
touch of yellow in it.
The girl that walked with her wore a
skirt of dull blue bengaline, with the cords
running around, and with an edge of
mink. Her cape was exactly like the
other girls, only that its co!or was very
pale cream and its material heavy, tine
cloth. 1t, likewise, was all edged with
mink. Her hat was big cream colored
beaver. trimmed with ve.vet bows of the
same shades and just few punches OF
vIoiets.
Let me see; what else claimed my atten-
tion that same bright afternoon? A mag
niticent black feather boa, the biggest one
! had ever seen. worn by the smallest
woman, and muf to match. The muff
was proportionateiy larger than the boa,
but looked beautiful with its close feathers
so gracefully CURED. There is really
nothing prettier In mutfs than those made
all of feathers.
Did see anything more in spring goods?
No, but saw some more ginghams. First.
We had plated silk stockings that had
silk thread run over cotton foundation,
and that looked quite silky when You
viewed them at the distance of half
block. But now We have plated silk ging-
hams. and they are quite different from
the stockings. The silk thread is run
very closely, giving soft sheen TO the ma
terial. In addition are woven heavy
stripes OF SILK or satin over the other silk
and these operations transform our . ain
glnghams into positively beautiful mate
ria.s.
