has a cross line formed of tiny black and
white dots. A very pretty gray, rather
elaborate, has a broad stripe of the
Quaker color closely lined with black.
and dotted with Marie Antionette
flower sprays, next comes a narrow
pink stripe, the Old-fashioned Solferino
pink, followed by wider gray stripe, set
with quaint nosegays of roses and fine
flowers
A light Magenta is striped with black
satin, and the satin has small punches of
flowers shot in light and a dark Ma
genta shade
The simple, half-inch stripes of delicate
Colors combined with white are among
the prettiest. In a very fine quality they
cost Sl.25 a yard. The new India silks
are effective. The pinky cream ground is
lightened by tiny satin dots, and the pat
terms are in shadOwy, imperfectly formed
circles, shading from pale 10 deep tints of
color heliotrope, old green, old rose, or
some other. They are made up with vel
vet or satin that matches one of the
tints.
The making of the spring costume goes
merrily on; the Easter thrOng to-day will
display a goodly number of original
gowns, quaint and gay. But it be neither
the quaint nor the gay that will catch the
eye of the idle stroller. That is the dis
appointing part of it TO the original girl
Her bright colors will become only a
small part of bright multitude; her odd
reYer, the peculiar droop of that rufle,
the fancifuI cut Of that OverShirt will fit
in with a host of other quaint and fanci-
full notions. But it will be the tall, slim,
straight girl, with a faGltless, straight
gown Of no pretention that will catch the
eye of that idle stroller. This iron gray
girl, for instance, would always
command your attention. She looks
straight before her as she
walks, she steps bravely out from her I'M
trimmed skirt of dark gray cheviot. Her
long basque with godet folds, is wrinkle
less. She is saved from the dullness by a
bit of Magenta that shows about her
throat, and q tiny knot of it at the front
of her small gray toque. She is never lost
in the crowd.
saw neat black robed figure, too, that
was peculiarly attractive Her hair was
a burnt brown, genuine chestnut, and
she did not lack the delicate clear skin
that accompanies the shade. So that her
black dress suited her better than any
color. 1t was quite simple. with the
jacket short and with a white linen shirt
beneath The black fOur-in-hand was shot
with chestnut. Her hat was a simple
toque with one quill rising from tiny
bunch of dark violets.

lighter tint. 1t had a stiff shirt front
too, and regulation four-in-hand. I'm
afraid we're getting masculine again.
Somehow, on Il jaunty, sweet-faced girl
the shirt and tie look so pretty that one
can't altogether condemn them This
shirt was pale blue, a very fashionable
shade in linen. The gray coat was cut off
in small points; at the back it fell
short in front, waiscoat fashion, ending
in long coat godets. The neat blue cuffs
showed half an inch beyond the gray
sleeve. Another suit, more womanish,
was of dark fawn, had plain skirt, and
! a unique figaro. The fronts came quite
together and then turning back in revers
that were consequently much broader
than usual and that were faced with
/ fawn mOirc. The closed appearance of the
/ figaro was unusual, and quaint in effect.
/ A bright waist and figaro effect, to be
