Another one is SO pure that you scarcely
dare touch it with the tip Of your little
finger. lt is a shape covered with white
gauze and pretty folds of fiue lace. In be-
tween the folds, all around the edge, peep
out great turquoises that are fastened
around the brim. A straw ornament, wing

could talk forever on the fascinating
ponnet question, but must regrstfuIly pause
20 take up the spring costume. There is no
use OF talklng-you must actually have a
considerable slant TO your dress. In other
WORDS, your breadths must all be cut very
narrow at the waist line and be allowed full
swing at the feet. At the back in particular
great tullness is disposed in plaits, so that

Is plain except for three narrow
embroidered bands at the bottom, put on
rather far apart, as decreed. The bodice
has an empire effect which is relieved at
the neck, however, by gathered silk made

neck, the gathers, forming yoke and part Of

Wnlch separates the folds above from the
folds beneath. The lower folds form a wide
belt and the belt is edged by narrow EN-
broldery. The sleeves are exceedingly large
leg-o'-muttons, over which a pretty lace
rutiie falls even to the elbow.
The accordion plat lends itself most
charmingly to the new modes; for it can be
made to occupy as much space as one wills,
upon occasions, and can also be drawn mod
estIy together so that one would scarcely
suspect its amplitude. A pretty heliotrope
spring gown is 80 made, with plain side
hreadths between the accordion plated
back and front, At the back of the dress
there Is another one of those inverted point
effects, where the accordion runs up into
PLAIN back, and usurps nearly all the space
that the plain material intended to occupy
A rolling belt OF silk goes round the waist
aud two short blbs of violet crepe stop at
the shoulder seam, never getting so far as
the back. The two putfs on each sleeve are
also plated, bat the cuffs are pain.
The new coat, if The sigus of the times
speak truly, will not be SO long as the
winter one. 1t will be a rather short three
quarters, or possibly even trifle shorter
than that. The ones that have already
come out have fancy fronts, many open all
the way down so as TO show the front to
advantage. and others are caught together
at the waist. A maiden that walked the
streets day or two ago wore one of these
seIt-same coats, and the front was full, of
hgh5 material. The coat had brc adj
fancLy cut, velvet revers. Her gown
was q very attractive one, also, with
a pretty design embroidered ali over, and

broad black Velvet band at the fees. She
held up her dress carefully, for the streets
were not inviting, and showed a fresh white

numerous comments upon her neatness from
passersby.
But you are permitted this spring to wear
perfectly plain, tight-fitting coat, if you
so desire, that Is relieved ouly by a velvet
yoke, and by possibly some narrow trim
ming about the edge. You may wear il
over your winters gown, that can be fresh
ened with new trimming at the feet, and no
one will he any the wiser when you step
forth on Easter with your new bonnet and
gloves.
If you are unable to get an entire new out
