than the most expensive material that
can be purchased if lily fitted; and the
same way with 3 hat The cost amounts
TO nothing. The main thing lies in the
style Of making and the taste displayed
By the making. One OF the odd and
UNIQUE French dresses seen for spring
wear on cool days was a tailor-made
gown Of dusty China blue cloth and
blue and white silk bodice, that was
perfect in its way. The sleeves were
large, but being made OF the best silk
would not cruise even II IL was worn
with q small-sleeved jacket. At the
waist some plain blue silk had been IN
troduced az the side, diminishing the
apparent size and leaving the tplness
az the front TO develop the bust.
The Jacket for this was lined with bro
cads, and had q couple OF rows or cut
steel buttons at the waist; but 1t looked
equally we'll open or closed, and fitted
into the figure with exceeding trimnesS.
The new cut bodices are not only &C
cCupanied oy a short cape 20 the waist,
madS OF the same material as the dress,
and having a straight, turned down
velvet COLLAR. This looks we'll in fawn-
colored cfssh. A dark green dress was
accompanied by a short green silk
bodice, with Zouave fronts Of darker
shade which opened up the back, the
BASQUE describing square tabs edged
with Jet The skirt was slightly droOp-
ed at the side. Green hop sacking for
country wear is much used, and colored
straw hats now come In every shade 70
match dresses.
There are so many kinds OF charming
possibilities In spring and for all kinds
OF weather, that II is hard 20 select any
one thing aud declare that TO be the
thing or the most beautiful OF all. The
washing fabrics come almost as beauti-
ful as the fne materials, and are made
ND quite as profusely. The crinklsd
crepons have been brought out this year
in stripes which form checks, the color
ings brightly intermingied pink, grey,
green and brown appear in one piece,
and light yellow and grey with 'chintz
lines in another, and they are made up
with plain tones. String color is fash
ionable in Paris, aud so necessarily
must become so here; and there are
large amount OF lawns with eolored
spots, which will make q charming
gown. sThe Zephyrs have corded
stripes as we'll as checks, and the tiny
checks in batiste, especially pink and
white, will DO much worn. Those who
are going TO the seaside should have
marine twill, with navy ground and
twisted cord stripe.
The seQuin in trimming will reign
supreme for it is not only 70 be had In
the ordinary glittering cOlors, but also
in shades, showing the best OF harmon
les. With this are blended satin and
crystal beads. Sometimes the fOunda-
tion OF tina trimming is Of black gauZe
or net, at others OF white, slightly
velned with gold. The widths vary
with every fGntdiSie Of the dreSsmaker.
They are graduated so as TO form shirt
bands and bodice. trimmings. Some OF
the most beautiful designs In SeQuins
\ and bead embroidery are about an inch
4 and a half wide, and show lines OF
,eouins interSpersed with rows OF crys-
.al beads, having q center OF stars made
with satin beads, enclosed between IN
dulating lines OF the crystals. A beau
tiful electric has the satin beads in
paleSt blue, the seQuins contrasting
shot pink sequinS and q double edge OF
gold and pink crystals; another Is OF
et-colOred'beads, the seQuinS match
ing. Another feature Of this years trim
ming will be the beaded laces, the
groundwork OF guipure being wrought
about with multi-cOlored irideScent
beads and sequinS. Bands Of narrow
gulpure Insertion are thickly studded.
1t is said thai hats will be enormous
this season, and the shapes more whim-
steal and impossible than last season,
There is a craze for black flowers,
yiolets especially. The new straw hats
Gre TO be had In all the popular colOrs
,-heliotrope, turQOise, sTUscan pink,
blum snd all shades Of green. The
coarse Straws are exceedingly pretty,
and decorated in such shades as tur-
ouoise blue and "eau de Nile" Hats
contain considerably more trimming
than they did little while ago, when
IL was the fashion TO have Oae lonely
looking bow on hat by way OF orna-
msnt. There are many new novelties
IN wells, and fresh ones are cropping up
each day, while spots and borders are
largely effected, but there is nothing TO
beat a pretty black dotted veil. Rhine
stone buckles are used extensively on
both dresses and hats. The bow is at
the moment absOT bing a vast amount OF
attention, although they are becoming
10 so very few, and Sashes are once
more 10 the fore in dress trimmings.
Children's dresses are now worn quite
short, Just covering the knees, and
much prettier do they make the little

Their dresses otherwise, and hats as
well, are mostly an exact imitation OF
the older peoples. One OF those jack
ats I saw on q little girl on Broadway
was made OF white ladies' cloth trimmed
with scarlet. IL was tight-6tting,
double breasted and had a broad collar
AMI large reverS; a fulled skirt OF the
cloth fell about six inches below the
waist line and immense cApes covered
the upperl part Of the large sleeves.
About the waist line were nine or ten
rows Of the scarlet braid. and the capes,
collar and sleeves were trimmed TO
match. A large white hat trimmed
jth white pumes and a black silk
] ress, patent leather shoes, black stock
lRs and tan gloves complete chic,
UNIQUE looking little costume. Another
child's dress was OF fine fawn faced
cloth strapped across the yoke with
four stripes Of gimp. Full gigOt
sleeves, tight at the waist, with stripes
of gimp. Hat of ine fawn and blue
straw, trimmed with navy blue ribbon.
Also one OF coarse gObelin blue cloth
with deep shoulder frill edged with
ruche, and long bow Of taoae satin rib
