the same, TO which tea roses and fur
tails were added. No decrease is no.
ticeable in the lining for pretty neck
finish for dresses, and new sorts are
as much at a premium as ever. In
fur garments, there is current a device
for Obviating the tendency of the tall
collars to turn over at the point, or to
lop somewhere. To give the touch of
freshness that a fur needs in February
she is wearing stiffened stock of vel
vet or satin, fitted carefully, shaped
down slightly to a point in front and
fastening at the back under a lot Of
bows. This stock holds up the fur col
lar snugly, and adds to the becoming
ness of the garment. Besides, the
chain or ribbon for the muff, instead
of passing all around the neck, fastens
under bows or buckle at either side of
the front of the stock, and stock and
muff become part of each other, as it
We're. To carry out this effect the
front of the stock may be finished
with fur or tails to match the muff,
and these tails will serve also to hide
the wear along the edge of the gar
ment in front.
Little flaring cuffs of satin lined fur
are also shown to slip under the edge
in a fur coat to become shabby. The
cuff is no more than frill of fur and
should match the muff,if not the cloak.
With these an old fashioned muff may
be carried.

for muslins, but that seems liekly The
early models for the coming season
show wash silks so drowned in floods
of null or muslin and fiuffs Of lace, in
crisp frills of transparent cotton goods,
that the silk assumes the insignificant
position of lining. Light colors and
beautifully blended plaids in brilliant
shades contrast each other charmingly
in the new fouIards and wash silks, but
there is happy absence of the mot
led effects that became so painful late
last season.
Do you notice that girl with a fur
coat does not carry a muff? That is,
not If she is really used to fur coat.
Isn't that enough to make you go and
throw away your muff this minute!
AS if you were not used to fur jack
ct, pooh! and you have had yours three
weeks at least. You see, muff wears
out the front OF your jacket. 1t may
be wise to get the muff next season
when the front is a little worn, but not
now. Instead, your sleeves will be fin
ished with the cuffs that will either
turn back or turn down, and when they
turn down you double your dear fin
gers close, scrouch your arms, and of
course your hands are not cold, not
bit of it!

SOMETHING NEW.

An entirely new effect was attained
at the waist of this picture gown, which
had a narrow pointed belt of white sat
in spangled with green and gold, and
quite conventional of itself. But ra-
dating from it were six triangular pie
ces-four on the skirt and two on the
blouse waists of ivory white MORE,

The dress material was reseda green
diagonal serge, and the waist had a
yoke of white mousseline de sole, with
stock collar to match trimmed with
lace and reseda green ribbon. The re-
vers matched the belt, and chiffon
frills edged the wrists.

CHANGE IN EASTER HATS.

1t is to be hoped that the new milin-
cry for which Easter brings an airing
will be free from the many whimsical
devices that have characterized the
headgear of the passing winter. 1t
has seemed as if the milliners had gone
daft, and their many eccentricities
have been so pronounced as to indi-
cate that the limit Of fancifulness has
been reached. That should mean a
departure in an entirely new direction
for spring. Just what this departure
is to be is hard to say now, but the hat
shown here may give some indication
of what is coming. Its feathers are
certainly quite different from those
that have recently been stylish, and
its liberal trimming of velvet putting
suggested bulk that only a skillful hand
can effect without too much weight.
It was in pearl gray felt it's brim edg-
ed with darker gray velvet, the same
velvet furnishing the putting that en-
circled the crown.
A novel and elaborate neck finish is
shown, too, in the illustration. 1t

chiffon attached to a stock collar Of

Exhibition.
Kind Friends:
Upon me has been conferred the hon
or of delivering the address of welcome
and l trust you will not be too exact
ing in your expectations Of me, as L
am but a novice in the school of elo-
cution.
Another milestone in the history Of
our school days has been passed; an
other term of study and application is
ended. We are assembled here today
with a purpose obvious to allan OBJ
Ject Indifferent, / venture to say, to
none. 1t cannot be ignored that par
ents are deeply interested in the well
fare and progress of their children, and
il is to be inferred that this solicitude
prompts them to be present on this oc-
casion.
You have witnessed this morning the
various exercises and evolutions in
which we have taken part. These form
the sum total of our daily course of
studies, and constitute the educational
feature of this exhibition. You have,
no doubt, also drawn your conclusions
as to whether we have acquitted our
selves creditably in them or not. Suf-
flee it to say, that we have tried our
very best. Although there is no royal
road to learning it should be borne in
mind that knowledge is ever power,
no matter in what walk of life it may
be applied. To appreciate fully the i'm
portance of a liberal and thorough ed
ucation is an evidence of clear discern
ment. The schooling that child re-
ceives has much to do with Its success
or its failure in life. fear that have
already enroached too much upon the
time allotted me as salutatorian, and
would therefore best draw to a close.
According you one and all a cordial
welcome, 1 will retire from the arena
of your attention in order to make
place for those who follow me.

June may the month O. weddings,
but the ceremony can have just as
handsome accessories in late winter.
You can have roses in either season,
and you can have now one thing that
would be impossible in June. That is
a handsome wrap to cover you costly
in your trip from house to church.
These wraps are wonders of beauty
and richness this winter, and are just
new enough in their stylishness to
make them very attractive. But the
gowns the, thing, after all, that has
more general interest than the season.
Here's a beauty in the accompanying
picture. 1t was made of white cord
ed silk, the plain skirt having a small
train. Over the bodice's silk founda-
ton was white chiffon that was pleat-
ed in front and plain in back. Across
the front a deep ruching of white silk
was put in surplice fashion. The belt
was white satin ribbon, finished with
a large bow and orange blossoms and
the white tulle veil was caught up in
a rosette punched with the blossoms.
1t is decreed that short gloves shall
be worn with the bridal gown to facil-
itate their removal for putting on the
ring. A glove designed especially for
this purpose fastens away up into the
palm of the hand, and the fastening
springs free at the drawing of little
cord. Such glove is sure to come off
easily, and thus much annoyance is
saved. The handkerchief is carried in
the belt, in the sleeve or at the wrist,
the rich lace at its edge adding to the
dainty effect wherever placed. The
inventive geniuses that plan all sorts

SLEEVES LEFT PLAIN.

Though many a bodice takes militia
~ finish from braiding or cord trim
ming, the fashion for this sort of orna-
mentation has gone far beyond hug
zar' effects, and skirts and bodices are
seen trimmed in the most elaborate de-
signs with silk cord. The front and
back Of a handsome gown of this kind
are ahown herewith, the material being
a6rk green suiting and the silk cord
black. Deeply pleated at the

passable byitself serves charminglyun-
der mOusseline or chiffon, and that for
a little dinner bodice nothing is more
suitable than come .confection Of
black. 1t can be cut away a little at
the neck, and made dainty and dressy
by fluff of frills. An old evening
bodice positively decrepit and much too
low for any but an extremely dressy
occasion, becomes as demure and sui
table as you please when covered with
brussels net, the net being drawn over
the shoulders in surplice fashion, and
wound close about the arms to the mar
row band left of the original sleeve.

attention to the brides costume. One
of their inventions is dainty prayer

mounted in white enamelled gold and
set with pearls. The cover is so ar

its purpose is can be removed and the
beautiful cover can be used as a card

is used where a while ago a figured
silk would have been deemed more

Another Feature Added.

Mr.. Andrew Queries is one of
the best and most progressive bus
ness men in Shreveport. From
the time he first opened his doors
to the public he has been a sue
cess, his business growing all the
time.
He has recently added a bottling
feature to his trade and now man
ufactures pop of the very best
quality, and already he has made
his advent in this line, felt on the
trade.
The Progress saw the bottling
works in operation: they are i'll
charge of Mr.. E. T.lWorley, a gen.
tleman of experience who fully
understands the manufacture of
pop.
Mr.. Queries uses only the best
grsnulated sugar and underground
cistern water in preparing the pop,
and the flavors being all of the
highest test, he presents a drink
that is pure and wholesome. And
then again, Mr.. Queries sells his
pop to the dealers at low rate,
a reduction OF 33-3 per cent, that
they can handle it at a good profit
in selling it at 5 cents a bottle.
