Fashion Echoes.

G0Id, Jet and bronze SpangleS ana
seduins are to be more used than ever
on GALLON and passementerie trim
mings. In very many handsome spring
toilets the entire yoke Of the bodice IS
mass Of these glittering garnitures,
and the sleeve decorations match it
from. wrist to elbow.
Il The box-plaited Norfolk jacket reap
pears among costumes and toilets for
spring and summer wear. 1t forms q
part Of utility gowns Of tweed, cheviot,
shepherds check, ETC., as we'll as the
waist-portion of dainty toilets OF tat
feta, fancy surah. faille, striped and
dotted satin, crepon cloth and host of
hot weather textiles.
Long ostrich plumes are just now
greatly used in combination with
short full tips and tufts or aigrettes.
These trimmings are seen upon pic
ture hats of various shapes, and on
toques and turbans as we'll, also on
the matador hat that is still quite pop.
ular, but suited to but few faces. The
hat gives a circular appearance to the
head, which very few figures are tall
enough to bear without looking top
heavy after the elaborate trimmings
have been added.
With dressy post-Lenten costumes
will be Worn single or double-breastet
Elton jackets of black velvet made
with full mutton-leg sleeves, lined will
shot silk and trimmed with cut jet II
points or narrow lines of gimp. More
ornate jackets have trimmings of deeI
ecru guipure lace. This garment i:
a useful, desirable, and not very ex
pensive investment, for it will also d.
for light wrap over summer evening
toilets. 1t can be made in other colors
but black takes precedence because i
can be worn over gowns of every
shade.
Velvet blouscs and other waists II
black, dahlia color, brown and greer
will be in highest vogue this spring
These velvet garments give a rich ct
| feet to u costume at comparatively
small expense. They are stylish over
skirts of silk MORE, satin, shepherds
check wool, plaided cashmere or tai
feta, crepon, or, indeed, any pretty
skirts cut in fashionable shape ant
gracefully hung. 1t is practically in
possible to get the sleeves of velve
waist into the sleeves Of a coat with
out ruin to the velvet ones. Nothln:
but a cape is to be thought Of in s'lcl
a case. Our largest sleeves will hav'
| full play from Easter time on to sum
mer season, as then there will be NJ
longer need to consider the question o
| their accommodation.
The question of the continuation O
full sleeves and faring skirts is set
| tied for a season at least, and proDa
bly for the entire summer, for llsh
and diaphanous materials are partlc
ularly appropriate for these styles, ant
besides all women seem DESTROYS o
having fashion continue in her presen
comfortable and picturesque mood
Box plaits at one time threatened t
supersede godet or organ plaits,, bu
| the latter seem to have attained su
| nremacy. and are considered superlo
| to box plaits, which lie fiat instead o
| standing out in rounded form IN TIL
| exact center of the back. kits, now
| ever. are much used on each s'ae o
the gored front, or on the entire iron
| and sides of the skirt, with goae
| plaits in the back. Without DOUBT t,''
tendency is still toward volume at 7h
edge Of the skirt.
