Powered Silk Sleeves to Match Lin

Full 1aring skirts and odd waists are ac-
eustomed evidences of the mode so the distin-
gushing features in the annual panorama of
fashion will be confined chiefly to the reduced
and diversified sleeve and the unlimited vari-
ETY. in detail and contrasts of color which
mark the striking difference between the new
and the old. Applique figures of lace and
batiste embroidery in white and varying tints
OF yellow, fancy silks, chiffon, spangled net
and yards and yards of ribbon are used to
carry out fashions extended plan of decorat-
ing bodices, wraps and hats with many kinds
OF material and unusual contrasts of color.
Trimmings of various kinds appear on the
new skirts, and many of them, especially
among the thin dresses, are quite elaborately
decorated. The tablier effect is much used for
cloth gowns, and one or two deep side plaits
tapping over the seams at either side define
this. They are not confined at the bottom and
are deep enough to spread little as the wear
er moves. The edges are finished with a tiny
silk cord or left en- irely plain and the &c ora
ton of applique silk designs, embroidery, or
braid is confined to the bottom of the narrow
front breadth. Other skirts are trimmed all
around with rows of white or colored braid

or with some scroll pattern at each seam,
one imported canvas gown has a four-inch
hem and one tuck the same width above with
tWo-inch space between and most of the
thin gowns have either ruffes of the same
edged with narrow lace, or ruff1es of wide lace
around the bottom of the skirt. Fashionable
skirts are all gracefully FULL but they are
not restricted to one style of cut, and one of
the latest models is cut full around the hips
and laid in three-inch box plaits across the
back and sides, beginning on either side of

beauty and perfection; and especially in the
rival cities of Florence and Venice; and it is
only within the last few years that bent iron
work has become popular in other lands. In
the United States it has been received with
marked favor. Children have taken it up,
with great success, making countless pretty
articles for the decoration of their rooms; and
ladies are now becoming enthusiastic over the
fascinating work, which is admirably adapted
for handkerchief and glove boxes, hair re-
ceivers, scrap baskets, hanging screens and
other dainty articles for the boudoir or the
sitting room.
Venetian ironwork will, in time become
more favorite occupation than repousse work,
better known than macrame work, more wide
spread than scroll saving or fretwork, and
more popular than either or all combined ever
were, and for the most simple of reasons-it
is an easier art to master.
The few tools that are required are a pair of
round and a pair of fiat-nosed pliers, pair of
scissors, a small file and pair of wire cutters
at times to secure a band of metal while one
is bending a scroll. The materials needed in
the work are a few sheets of thin stovepipe
iron, OF the best quality, as the poor will
break when bending; small quantity of the
finer sizes of iron wire, to fasten certain of
the scrolls together, and a few yards each of
various sizes of WIRE ranging from the thick
ness OF ordinary telegraph wire to that of a.
small lead pencil.

few strips of thin wire are required Rip

one, very daintily trimmed, has plating of
black and white tuIle standing up around the
crown and covering the brim, with a finish
of white roses and leaves at the back.
Another fancy in hat trimming Is to have
bows of wide ribbon matching the straw in
color, tulle Of the same tint, and contrast in
the color Of the flowers only. A hat with
double brim of biscuit-colored straw has round
the edge ruche Of horsehair lace, and jet,
purple and pink flowers decorate the back, and
three feathers stand UP from the crown. Dress
bcnnets are made Of tulle and lace-very light
and airy little trifes as to material, but larger
than those worn last season-and mock jewels
of every tint are used for trimming One of
the bonnets illustrated has dadem Of emer-
aids and small rhinestones and a group Of
black and green quilts at one side. Black and
white dress bonnets, with plenty of jewels in
the trimming, are especially fashionable this
season.
One of the exceptions in millinery is the
broad brimmed hat, with band of velvet and
bandeaux of roses underneath the brim,
bunch of black tips and another band Of vel
vet around the crown. This is tied under the
chin with ribbon strings.

the front breadth, and the plaits are caught
down underneath or stitched down ten inches
from the waist, so that they keep their form
to the knee. Skirts of silk and thin gowns
are fuller than those of cloth and flare wide
~ at the bottom, and the Innings, which are
SILK IN all the best gowns, are more attractive
Than ever, because thought is given to the
harmony or contrast of color in Innings as
well as outside adornment
Gray, in the lovely soft light shade which
mas t1nge of pink in it, seems to be one of
the favorite colors among the recently i'm
ported gowns, but tan, dark and light blue
brown and green are we'll represented. Small
checks, IN WOOL goods, of either brown, blue,
or black and white are very popular. Thew
are used for skirts principally, with waists of
chameleon silk, and jaunty coats of plain
cloth to match the dark color directoire
belt OF the plain cloth over the silk waist is
very good style. This sort of gown offers an
opportunity for using short lengths and the
effect is very pretty.
One imported gown of ribbed brown mohair
Is made very striking with combination of
popular-green crepe. The skirt is plain and
the bodice in the back is laid in rather deep
tucks crosswise, below which tiny folds of
the crepe appear. The front is entirely of
green crepe, full, with narrow zouave effect
Of ALPACA, and the wide revers are faced with
green MORE poplin. The collar is of green
crepe, and the sleeves also. These are
wrinkled up above the elbow, and puffs of
alapaca fall over at the top. While many of
the gowns have sleeves and some part of the
waist of the material like the skirt, there is
always decided contrast given in the trim
ming, which is usually very elaborate. An ex-
ample of this in pale gray cloth has white
satin bodice, with full front, trimmed with
deep cream applique figures of embroidered
batiste, and over this is a jacket effect of
cloth cut straight across the back and front,
where there is a box plat on either side. This
fits in to the figure and is short enough to
admit of band of the batiste trimming on
the edge, making it just long enough to fasten
the points at the waist line, showing the white
satin belt through. Another imported gown
of gray has trimming of white braid around
the bottom of the skirt, close fitting bodice

pear in all shops In every imaginable style
and price, from the simple shirt waist to the
deliberately trimmed slk-lined variety suit
able for dressy occasions and very sheer and
fine in quality. The batiste is embroidered
with colors or plain, as the case may be,
but the effect is very elaborate. Some of
these waists have Powered silk sleeves, and
the same silk for the lining and white
batiste, organdie and NULL striped with
Valenciennes insertion, is made up in the
same way, with the pretty addition of
wide adjustable collar of batiste, sailor shape
in the batiste lace ruffie around the edge,
and lined with plain silk of the tint which
prevails in the sleeves. Grass lawn is more
attractive than ever, this season with the
applique of dainty white and cream lace
embroidery in open-work patterns in many
colors and novel designs, traced with gold
thread. One of the novelties in dress trim
mings is black silk net decorated with an
applique Of embroidered grass lawn. There
are insertions, edges and all-over patterns
which are used in combination with satin
wraps as we'll as for gowns. The most
noticeable changes in fashion are in the
sleeves, which are not with few exceptions.
the close-ftting variety which are the dread
Of ali womanknd.
Here and there among the summer gowns
you see the coat sleeve relieved only by trim
mings or tiny ruff1es,i for it is mostly in thin
gowns. The really popular sleeves are pretty
notifications Of the Balloon, neither small
nor large, graceful in outline, and entirely
without any stiff interlining. Another feat
ure is the variety Of styles and in looking
over dozen imported dresses you will hardly
see two pairs Of sleeves alike. The wrinkled
sleeve with medius puff at the top seems
to be one of the favorites, and nearly all
sleeves are cut to show the sleeves to the
elbow only. The mutton-leg sleeve Is cut
much smaller, and the puff has a draped
effect which is very pretty, while another
sleeve suitable for silk or thin material is
finely tucked from the elbow to the wrist,
cut long enough to form a little frill over
the hand, and the fullness forms moderate
sized puff above the elbow.

THE SPRING HAT.
a picturesque tumble of Brilliant
.ColOrs Framed In Filmy Plait-
inUs.

The Easter hat is a subject for important
consideration many weeks before the day ar
rives, and If the weather is fine and the dis
play OF new millinery in any proportion to
the preparations the dress parade today will
be picturesque tumble of brilliant colors
, framed in flmy plaitings of colored tulle,
and made very impressive by the size of the
hats. OF course. fashion has furnished the
usual variety in head gear, ranging from the
servtceable toque to the broad brimmed hat,
turned high in the back, and decorated with
flowers, bow of wide changeabIe ribbon COW
ering the crown, and either a twist of tulle
or wreath Of fine flowers round the brim.
Quite the reverse of last seasons style, hats
are worn well tilted forward over the fore
head, and the shape is the great point in MILL
merry art of the day. 1t is useless to try to
disguise an effective shape with elaborate en-
beliishments this SESSION, for 1t will not turn
out successfully, despite the fact that trim
mings are so dazzling in color and plentiful
In quantity, and the combination of colors in
one hat is study for the impressionist Some
OF the bonnets, and hats as WELL have strings
OF ribbon tulle, but it Is hardly probable that
this fashion will become popular for summer
wear. Large rosettes or plaitings of chif-
fon or tulle are used round the crowns of
hats, and smaller rosettes underneath the
brim, with a generous array of flowers In
fact tulle seems to reign supreme in the field
Oh nat trimmings. light effect is the aim,
and many OF the most beautiful hats have
brims Of shirrred chiffon or tulle with straw
crowns. Straw hats with rows of plated tulle
round the brim are one of the prettiest fancies,
and the plaitings are sometimes wide enough
to stand up around the crown with twist of
velvet or ribbons between
Every variety of flower which nature has
produced, and many others which must have
originated in the fertile brain of the flower
maker, are in conspicuous evidence and
flower bonnets are shown among the newest
hats. The flower toque is very becoming and
hats with brims have small punches of violets
almost entirely covering the brim and crown,
with the addition of tulle to heighten them.
Flower bonnets pretty combinations of
violets, roses and foliage, and mignonette is
often added. One pretty bonnet of pale green
straw has a jet bow in front, "cachepeigne"

blue or gray might be desirable, and she
should keep this tone in view in every gar
ment she purchases. OF course, variations
in shades are permissible, and an occa-
sional introduction of varying, harmonious
colors, but the dominant tone must be kept
well in mind on every shopping expedition.
Lingerie and bright ribbons galore are at
every woman's disposal, so that the most
rigid adherence to q welI-defined color
scheme need not necessarily result in mo-
notonous wearing apparel. The woman who
has decided upon brown as her foundation
color should never permit the most allur-
ing temptations of the bargain counter to be-
guile her into buying, for instance, blue
or a gray Jacket
The daintiest visions Of green bonnets are
not for her. and neither should she allow
her thoughts to wander toward fascinating
plaids or gray stripes Only by living stern
ly up to her resolutions can she hope to at

neighbor for quarter the expenditure in
ready money.

rise in easy flights in the square hall in the
middle, while behind, reached directly from
the side entrance, the laundry and kitchen
may be placed. On what was the first floor
we find in front a library or lounging room,
the full width Of the house; next to that the
square hall, then the parlor, and behind that,
in an extension added for the purpose, a
small dining room with buffers pantry,
containing narrow winding stair to the
kitchen, still behind that.
1t is no longer common to build houses
with such high ceilings as were in favor ff
teen years ago.
II Is the greatest mistake of amateur deco
rators to apply upon their walls heavily
tinted, figured or gilded paper; finer eff
feet can often be produced by a six-cent
plain cartridge paper upon the walls, with a
dainty freze in delicate colors.
Smoking rooms are almost universally
treated in the Turkish or other Oriental
styles, of which the famous smoking rooms
in the Hotel Walrodf are, perhaps, the
best-known examples. In city houses bulls
rooms are generally placed in the front base
ment; in older houses, smoking room,
billiard room and growlery combined may
sometimes be arranged in the topmost story
Of all, or when space is limited such
room may be built upon a fiat roof, as
the artist, W. Hamilton Gibson, has placed
his studio.
For a library. an old English design with
heavily paneled ceiling is appropriate It
is usual and probably in better taste, to
decorate dining room in duller and quieter
tones than those used in the gay and airy
parlor. If the room is at all inclined to be
dark, as it will be in a basement, but will
not be in an extension, woodwork in nat
ural oak or cherry tones may be employed
to advantage and upon the wall paper in
light terra Gotta. without gloss, which really
reflects the light better than many gilded
papers which seem of much gayer and lighter
appearance when seen in the roll.

and practical possibilities that lie in some Of
the commonest substances. Who would i'm

a tinsmith for few cents, may, when cut
