Where Men

That this spring will be q fancy sea-
son there te no doubt. Everything
gotten up for summer is on the ex-

The season is not likely to favor SOM

In Paris and again brought back here

away from the demi-mourning aspect
OF such contrast by the use Of strass

feathers and ribbons are used to give
the contrast sombre shades are intro
duced to give liveliness to the black

Some new hat shapes are made Of
narrow satin ribbon and chenille,
woven together in a basket weave. A
pretty effect Is obtained when the rib
bon is colored and the chenille black
and the flowers used in. the trimming
match the ribbon. A contrast is also
good. A charming chapeau is made Of
black chenille and green ribbon and
the trimming is a black lace scarf, with
white figures In it, and bunchee of
blush velvet violets. On one side is a
cluster of black ostrich tips.

through with dull blue stripes, which
shone through the gauzy overskirt Of
sheeny white mousseline de sole, laid
smoothly over it from head to foot.

blouse, with the mousseline de sole
pouching freely over a broad belt of
filigree gold, which encircled the waist.
1t was cut in a square fashion about
the shoulders and finished by char
ness of turquoise, pearls and gold, fit
ting smoothly over the shoulders and
falling down to the waist in loose. tab

plain dull blue, satin, covered over with
mousseline de, sole, thickly studded
with gold-rimped turquoise. Altogether
it was a simple girlish frock, but won
derfully lovely. N
Another "beited's frock is for swell

and has some of the same, with a.
bunch of flowers stuck on the side

lower edge from among a lot of lace

Satin is a favorite for making muffs.
because it makes such lovely wrinkles
and folds and looks so rich. Chiffon
Is sometimes used over satin of the
same shade and makes frail. dainty
confection, very pretty TO look at, but
of the very least use in the world. For
evening wear are muffs of white satin

and punches of white violets exhaling
a real life-like perfume.

and the tail and legs are all right.
Where the head drops over to meet
the tail a pocket is concealed, where
the small belongings can be carried

For something very elegant there is
a muff Of puffed red velvet, with border
Of ermine and head of ermine, the

broad band Of satin ribbon. The lining
is of white satin. A very handsome
one to carry with black gown Is of

tiny ostrich tips. One In white velvet
has cherry satin Innings and silver bead
trimmings, with spray Of white lilies

Incense is mentioned in A. d 496 as

Perfumes and essences made from

As to extensive dinner favors. some
times Of exquisite jewelry or bits Of
silverware, these are so decidedly out
of vogue that even more than single
flower Is too much to lay at the plate
Of each guest. Yet, let the would-be

hearing all this, that she should think
1t simple matter to give a dinner.
She will find that, although the meal
is shorter than Of old, it is quite as

the ones now shown surpass anything
ever seen before in loveliness and nov
city of pattern.
Linen grenadine and linen batiste are
the names given to the new weaves,
and in tone they run more toward a
gentle brown than to the sage tint
of last summer.
AS to patterns there are stripes and
squares in narrow satin lines in con-
trasting color-white, gold, green, blue
and pink-the striped designs having
in some instances in the two-inch space
between the bars small dots of silk in
the same tone.
OVER SILK OR SATEEN.
Then there are linen batistes woven
all over with stripes, squares or stiff
designs in open biscuit lace, and these
are recommended to be made over
some bright, becoming silk which
would show through the perforations
and take away from the trying dull
ness of the linen.
Indeed, it seems to be generally un-
derstood that the grass linens are all
to be made over silk.
The few rare models as yet seen
were so combined, but little expert
menting proved that with a plain
