surer signs In the lowering skies of Sat
urday's sunset, Sunday ushered in the
brightest, bal ,iest day of the early

owners of delicately tinted Easter dresses
and flowerv Easter bonnets could desire.

not only as the rose but as every flower
that grows, at a little before II a. m.

bright. light shades, curiously com bined
with old rose, purple or brick red. il the
novelty we long have sought There
were also many heliotrope and mauve
costumes. and these ecolors are very effec-
checks. hut are not to be used by bru-
nctteS.

color seem designed only for '.daugh-
ters of the gods. divinelv tall and most

haird dar keyed damsel, charming though

heliotrope or green dress, made with a
| full skirt trimmed nearly to the waist
with ruff1es, or velvet bands, and worn
over a hoopskirt! The hoopskirt was
in our midst and many were in he midst
of the hoopskirt yesterday morning.
