makes pretty bodice, and yellow chif-
fon under a cream lace figured net,
made over yellow satin lining and
trimmed with ermine, is a charming
combination, while colored chiffon strip
ed with velvet embroidery Is another
novelty for waists. Plain white mousse
line de sole collars, with a narrow bor-
der of black silk muslin hemstitched
on, are extremely novel, and these are
usually decorated with cream applique
lace figures set at intervals not very
close together.
Low-necked evening waists Of span
gled tulle are made up in colors to
match the skirt with which they are
worn, and black Brussels net is in great
favor for waists of black evening
gowns. They are cut round and low in
the neck well off from the shoulder,
and pointed slightly at the waist line,
where they are sometimes finished with
soft basque frill of net.

SOME OF THE NEW HATS.
What the Advance Guard of Spring
Millinery Looks Like

Laces in butter and ivory colors
ecru and black, form no infinitesimal
part Of hat garniture, and are seen
covering the entire crown, in scallops
bordering the brim and in all sorts Of
fancy effects tending to show the
beauty of millinery 1aces. The most
attractive combinations are secured
by an ample display of ribbons, laces
and flowers. OF the latter roses seem
to predominant with violets playing
second fiddle
An exquisite hat that was much ad-
naired by modistes is a rough fancy
satin straw, natural color, with a broad
brim and fairly high crown, encircled
with a wreath of tinted Ntin violet
leaves, ending on. the left side at the
back with bundh of violets and vio-
let buds. A huge ribbon bow with dis
tending loops gdecorates the back of the
hat where the, bEfm is turned up, the
ends falling IN long streamers. The
ribbon is wide taffeta chine check in
three shades of Violet.
Very chic is "a black chip with a terra

THE EARACHE SEASON.
1t Means Much Suffering for Little
Ones if Mothers Are CareIess.

Ones if Mothers Are Careless.
Half the time it's the mothers fault
when the little ones toss and moan and
suffer all night with the earache. What
II the little darling does look just too
sweet for anything in stylish broad
brimmed hat, think Of the danger to
those little red, cruelty exposed ears.
The ears of ali babies, and even older
children, should be well protected from
the cold at this season. If this were
more generally done in our changeable
climate much suffering might be avoid
ed. The big stylish hats may be pictur-
esque, but the dainty, warm little hoods
are surely 'sweet" enough to please
any mother, when they surround the
pretty baby faces, and think of the
comfort and the safety to the small
wearers, and the unbrolzen sleep for the
whole family instead of the distressful
night-watches, when the little chaps
are suffering with earache.
Yet earache frequently attacks in
fants as well as older children-even the
little ones, who are never taken out ex-
cept when securely wrapped, and they
often suffer unrelieved because they
cannot make the mother understand
where the pain lies. It may be suspect
ed when a child is seized with sudden
and severe fit of crying, for which there
is no visible reason, that the pain is in
the ear, especially if certain symptoms
follow. The pain may suddenly subside
and the crying cease, but the head will
be restless and be tossed from side to
side, and the child will complain if it's
ear is touched. After a time, worn out
with crying and pain, the little sufferer
will fall asleep, and in the morning it
will probably be discovered that the
ear has been running. Something must
be done, or another nights pain will be
the consequence. Heat is the best rem
edy, and warm poultice should be ap-
piled behind the ear, after which it will
be we'll to dry the skin and rub in
little camphorated oil or warm 1auda-

naturally goes with it. The muff has
to match the gown, positively. That is
1t must have in it some touch of the
gown material or its trimming. If the
gown is of velvet, then the muff is of
velvet, with some bright satin lining
and border OF fur to match that on
the gown. or if the gown has no fur
then with frills of lace about the edges
or If there is a cape to match. one Of
those frivolous things that couldn't
cost any more money If they were

coming Of all; so one is not surprised
to find fair feminines rushing like sheep
to crop 'the-firs blossoms of the cotton
and linen harvest
1t is the early bird every time that
catches the worm. and this holds good
with muslins and organdies, as well as
other things. They are. more expensive
just now, OF course, than they will be
later, but among all the standard de-
signs that are likely to run straight
Shrough the summer there are bound
as always, to be a few rare and novel
ones which late buyers will never see.
LINENS LEAD IN SUMMER GOODS.

SIMPLE DINNERS.
Reaction From the Elaborate At

There has been a return this season
to marked simplicity of menu and in
a way of serving dinner or luncheon
Last years eXtravagances were so
great, in the innumerable courses, and
in the costliness of favors, that a re-
action was bound to set in and has
come with force at present. The
most elegant meal nowadays often
consists Of but oysters. soup. fish.

double box-plait, and a few of the
more dressy waists are made on half
fitted Innings to button up the back.
These last were introduced late in
the season last summer and did not
find a very favorable footing, being
clumsy to 1aunder and expensive to
boot.
For dressy moments, however, they
are desirable, and some of them are
made very handsome with ribbon

DAINTY WASH GOODS.

For the cambrics, linen lawns and
percales, which, though running main
ly to stripes, are in the delicate pinks,
blues, yellows and greens of old, there
are the same white cambria embrod-

worth by long trial Dimities and
batistes are to be worn more than ever,

terflies or some other design, the same
lace, which is made of a yellowish point
braid, being let in at the skirt bottom
to form deep rich border
Decorations for the bodice of the same
are also provided in the shape Of bands,
collars or revers, and with, often, long
cuff pieces that cover the whole Of the
forearm.
The neg organdies run mainly to a
p1ofuse towering on pearly white or
delicately tinted background
With the flowers a few will show here
and there the vague velvety splotches
OF the chameleon silks, and one pearly
white background was strewn with
great boughs of apple blossoms that
seemed as natural as those just torn
from the parent limb.
AN ADORABLE NOVELTY.
But the new SWisses, the new Swisses!
Never since Mother Eve designed the
first gown did sweet woman stand such
a chance of being as adorable as these
ravishing textiles are bound to make
her.
The old dead-white unbecoming ones
have been numbered with things past,
the new ones coming in soft becoming
tones, or, if white, they are barred with
crinkled ribbon stripes in gay tints and
dotted with silk between that the white
ceases to be trying.
A novelty Swiss for epicurean tastes
has pale olive-green ribbon stripes with
black silk dots on the wide white Swiss
stripes between. Made up over ger
anium pink silk and with a stock, belt
and sleeve twists of velvet in the same
shade, this pattern would develop into
an enchanting costume.

SPRING SHIRT WAISTS.
In the new shirt waists is observed
strong leaning toward delicate, limp
cottons instead Of the thick percales
and cambrics of last summer
Grass lines, plain, figured, striped
and dotted, are also extensively used
and the same stiff; white linen collars
and cuffs Of last year are still in high
favor.
w Hei, however the waist is OF
batiste or figured in delicate tones the
collars and cuffs will often be of color
ed linen-pink, blue, violet or yellow
The newest fancy is to have the collar
and cuffs match, though If the shirt
waist is in plain material the cuffs
may be of the same and the collar
white.
AS to shape, there does not seem
to be much change except in the
sleeves, which now run entirely to
bishop affairs. Sometimes, too, the

like hot-house flower and marked
$780, The foundation was in the most
vivid watermelon pink ever seen, but
it only lent a rosy, becoming glow to
the neutral linen.
Bands of thick, white Russian lace,
run through with narrow black velvet,
ornamented the bodice, the velvet ty-
ing at the shoulders and at the bot
toms of the puff sleeves in great
chrysanthemum rosette.
Velvet ribbon, by the way, is to be
the most modish decoration fer cotton
and linen gowns, and it will take the
shape Of stocks, belts, bows and
rosettes on the bodice, and many even
appear under very open face inser-
tions in bands on the skirt For bodice

and trio Of the newest colors are a
wonderful pink violet, a rich purple
called "eminence" and mazarine blue
that has sapphire shadings.
To combine with the velvet ribbon,
and especially for the grass lines with
satin stripes, there are charming
French embroidereS in lace designs on
butter yellow batiste.
A rich ecru lace called pointe de
venise, though not quite as dainty as
the yellow embroideries, perhaps, is a
newer and more splendid trimming for
the grass linens.
