Through the Rockies via the
Great Salt Lake Route

The traveller, tourist or business
man of the west is wise when he
selects the Rio Grande Western
Railway, "Great Salt Lake Routen
for his route across the Rockies.
1t is the only transcontinental line
passing directly through Salt Lake
City, and in addition to the glimpse
it affords of the Temple City, the
Great Salt Lake and the picturesque
Jordan valley, it affords choice of
three distinct routes through the
mountains and the most magnifi
cent scenery in the world. It's road
bed and equipment cannot be ex-
celled by any line west of Chicago;
and while the Rio GRANDE VEST
ERN RAILWAY has been made
tar-ous by the beauty and variety
of the scenery on its line. it is
equally noted for comfort and ele.
gance of its trains. Through Pull

YOU would have been damned by all tnose
who had to endure it. Then you dld
very wise thing. You had all the trlm-
ming taken off, and cast the bodice, gsrlsh
with crimson, to one slde. Ihefe was
made for YOU black broadcloth train
which contrasted magnifcently with
the satin sides and front, ana TO
90 with this there was bodlce
composed partly of broadcloth ana
partly of satin, with sleeves OF satln.
crossed by bands of JET just such a sleeve
as Marguerite of Valoise wore. There
Worth made one of his mistakes. Black
is becoming to some women, but unfortu-
nately early in his working days this artist
in dressmaking saw what is known as 'tne
best black silk of an American woman,
and he shuddered. 1t was coarse OF grain
and scant of skirt; it was fitted so that the
lack of bust was conspicuous ana the
sleeves were so tight that an easy move
ment of either arm was Impossible. he
told me this himself, so L never planned
him for not wanting to SEND Dlack
dresses to American women; but remem-
Der always what L say that Whether
stout there are wonderful possibilities
in black, provided always you choose the
right fa brio and then dispose OF your ma
terial properly. l remember once when
| was in 4. fashionable tallor-shop met
Mrs. Embonpoint who is great TREND OF
mine, Eno SdlU. OI, my
these tailor made gowns fine? These per-
fectly simple gowns mean so much to the
women who are inclined to be stout And
| looked at her with dismay. The woman
who had made her stays pulled her
in at the waist and so forced the extra
flesh to go above and below the waist
line in a way that was not artistic, and,
although the tailor did not want to do 1t,
she insisted on having plain, close-httlng
skirt and an equally plain bodice; And
the result? Well, the result was that all
the fat was brought out to advantage, to
doubtful advantage, where few folds OF
the m aterial might have hid 1t, and be.
tween staymaker and her own lack OF
artistic dressing, Mrs. EN- bonpolnt looked
more like the minute glass with which L
time my eggs at breakfast than we'll
shaped woman. And, my dear, with this
she was going to wear one of those new
hats wreathed with roses! And nature
gave her long nose!
"You know one of those poke-over hats
worn by a woman with long nose makes
her look like the essence of curiosity In
feminine form. A hat tilted way over the
face has reason for existence; but il is
for the girl with the over-high forehead or
the tip-tilted nose, and every other type
should let it severely alone" Bah.

diamond ornament, forms the sole trim
ming. A bonnet of black straw with
diadem of emeralds and diamonds and
group of black and green quilts at one
side and ribbon of a roseate hue tied at
the back may correctly be called stylish,
as may also a fanciful black straw, deco
rated with small white straw balls, white
and black feathers nod over the crown. A
single bunch of rich crimson roses give the
needed touch of color, and 1 must not
forget to tell you that the ''Hebe"
toque, when composed of gold straw,
with black crinkled crinoline
brim and beautiful with broad bows of
black tulle striped with gold straw and a
black osprey on the left side, is well worth
contemplating. The Doris toque, made
of black fancy chip and crinoline brim is
trimmed in front with rose leaves under
the brim and crushed roses. 1t is COM
pleted by bow of petunia velvet, which
has high outstanding ends, but cannot
vet leave the hats, as the picture ones,
many of them, are appropriately so named.
One OF bebe chip has fold of mignonette

deaux of roses, a plume of black tips and
another band OF velvet round the crown.
Long strings of ribbon velvet the same
shade OF green extend gracefully from the
back
A Versailles hat will probably be re-
celved with even greater favor. It has a
handsome feather mount at one side and
bow of broad satin ribbon on the oppo-
site side. Three handsome tips hang over
the brim.
A smart cycling hat is to be had in PAN
anna straw. 1t is trimmed with black vel
vet ribbon and two outstanding quills. A
similar hat was made appropriate for a
young girls best hat by placing shaded
dark green wings upon it. and bunch of
delicate roses in shades of pink. While
thinking -four pretty girls see that New
York authority remarks: A pretty hat
easily made is suggested by selecting a
broad brim black rulle frame, covering it
fully with black tulle, and enwreathing it
with brim roses having quantities of fol-
iage. Then tie broad tullc bows to stretch
across the hat, turn it up in the back with
tulle pompons and roses. A vet younger
girl, if she has pretty color. will look
well IN white chip hat with tulle scarf
wound round the brim. at the sides
and erect among the plisses should be a
bunch of roses.
The Panamas are now much seen and
are of the simplest description; for in.
stance, one of brown straw is trimmed
with black ribbon, three black quils and
lovely bunch of cowslips. In the hands
of good milliner these materials are ca
pable of making a stylish if simple hat
which will be useful on many occasions.
A travelling hat, worn by fauItlessly
gowned young matron, was of white twist
straw with smart bow of black ribbon
velvet at one side, and ruche of black
tulle surrounding the crown.
1t is no easy matter to suggests satisfac-
tory hat for a middle-aged matron, SO
am glad to see the illustration OF an excel
lent one. The brim is shallow at the back
and broad in front, and has rather tall
crown. This model is carried out in the
new fancy brilliant straw of Tuscan
color. The brim is lined with black chic,
curving on one side like Gainsborough,
while the opposite side has pretty arch
and droops close over the hair at the back.

FOR MEN.

If black cutaway is not desired brown
or gray is stylish for semi morning wear.
An excellent suit can be made from plaid
in which gray and black are the keynote,
with just thread of red running through
the symphony. Scotch goods or cheviots
should be selected, as never have we had a
more excellent selection to choose from.
Trousers are being cut straight with a
spring bottom, but they must not be too
full, and SIS should not be grudged for a
well-made pair.
White waistcoats should only be worn
in the evening and white gloves with
black stitching have never been worn in
the streets in this country, although they
have been by extremists, as a fad, in botn
London and Paris, but our men have had
the good sense to wear them with their
frock coats at afternoon weddings only.
Sack coats should never be made with q
fly front, as fashionable men will not wear
them.
Waistcoats are to be made moderately
high.
More gray and checked cloths are being
imported than any other kinds, and some
tallors have not yet relinquished the idea
that they can eventually persuade men of
fashion shortly to appear in snuff-colored
| frock coats.
| 1t is positive fact that among the pat
terms of linens for shirts just received in
New York there is one of "a dim green
with pink stripes and at intervals large
yellow roses" 1t seems impossible that
any one would wear such design. SIT re-
| calls, as Him says, lone of the hideous
old wallpapers which used to disfigure our
| grandparents rooms" and this authority
says that for his part he intends to select
'the dark marine blues, the vivid cinna-
mon pinks and the deep lilacs in stripes
and these colored backgrounds with heur-
| de-lys upon them; or, again, few of
white, on which are sprayed dainty
punches of forget-me-nots or simple
tiny garland of coral" Now, all such
things are matters of taste, but assuredly
| will never be seen going around with
forget-me-nots wandering over my manly
chest, and the new green's and yellows
will carefully avoid, and then there are be-
! ing shown East some absolutely absurd
pate rms also for shirts in tartan plaids.
Him" remarks: II am told by the high
English authorities that the London man
intends returning to the flower-pot silk
| hat, such as we sometimes meet in Leech' S
of the other side of the Seine-those OF the
Latin quarter. Shall we all resem BILE these
queer French artists, who are very pic
! turesque with the Luxembourg and its
| stiff gardens and rectangular beauties for
background. l do not wish to look as if
l came from an insane poster. In the
United States the Dunlap hat has a very
narrow brim and somewhat bell-shaped
crown. The brlm is curled q little. The
| Derbies are low in the crown and brown in
| color. The radius OF the straw hat at this
early season has not yet been determined. :"

which should most emphatically be
fought, as no matter how perfectly q
woman may otherwise be clad topheavy
appearance spoils the tout ensemb Bile COM

Wise young women have ceased to wear
dowdy dresses when receiving at teas,
comprehending that a perfectly fresh,
crisp muslin is preferable to soiled satin.
AS result most of the girls look unusu-

each other as for the approval of the other
sex.

new hats or gowns on this joyful
occasion.
Some OF the young people have been
having gay dancing party this week, and
never were the gowns prettier or fresher,
and / heard some one remark that the
girls who had observed Lent the most
strictly seemed to enjoy the dance the
most I hear that until the trunks are

The very popular bride and groom who
live on the top of hill are being gener-

several dinners will be given this week in
their honor.
There was large tea in Oakland this

q dainty bit of vest. The wearer had
truly wonderful faxen hair, which was
surmounted by gold tlagree comb; but
then, TO be sure, on all sides heard this
lovely woman declared to be the most
beautiful woman in Oakland. Another
belle was tastefuily attired in a skirt of
heavy white satin, and Louis XVI coat
OF corded silk, embroidered with a small
yellow flower. The gracefully draped vest
was OF a yellow silk. The stock was of a
shade of green velvet, most becoming, and
a band OF the same completed the short
elbow ppffed sleeves. a piQuante brunette
was effective in a corn-colored silk gown,
shot with golden lights and covered with
crimson poppies.
