OVER THE TEACIjF'S.
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.

! Novelties are announced on all sides,
and are putting in their appearance
with due punctuaiity. Although we
are left to surmise what the future
/ holds in store tor us as regards gowns
and hats, the styles in shirt waists
and blOuses are settled. The materials
are especially light and dainty as re-
CARDS texture. The most popular
models have a pointed yoke both in
the front and in the back, finished
with three tucks Narrow Russian
enamelled belts set with mock jewels
and narrow leather belts are the ia
vorites, although many women who
prefer something more dainty en-
circling their waists will wear a belt
fashioned of ribbon. About three
inches is the width of the ribbon used.
and il is drawn around the waist twice
and then bowed on the left side.
The summer TO come will be marked
by wealth of beauty in dress fabrics
that no other season has approached.
1t seems, judging by the cotton love-
liness displayed, as though the very
fragrance of the fields, the blue of the
skies and the joyous warmth of the
sunbeams had been caught and held
in the weaving of organizes, dimities
and ginghams. Particularly lovely de-
ported and domestic goods. Misty
blooms on plain white or tinted
grounds, stripes of ribbon effect inter-
spersed with flowers, are as unique as
they are artistic. and each and every
one shown possesses some distinctive
touch that has its special charm for
individual taste. In lappets a lacy
idea has been introduced with rare
effect, as may also be seen in the dim
tiles. There can be no doubt that the
dashing no-special figure idea, in its
strong contrasts of black and white
and blue and white, are to be leaders.
The effect is one of the styles that
commends Itself to the woman who
wants a gown with character, no
definite trimming other than satin
stock and belt being needed to lend
it an air of distinction.
Fascinations in the shape of dainty
lingerie are found in all the shops.
Undoubtedly a great many white petit
coats viii be worn during the coming
ypring and summer. and some of them
are decidedly smart" They are made
of fine cambria or lawn, and are most
deliberately trimmed with ruffies of
fine lace or very open-work embroid-
cries. The long chemise has come
into favor, and is presented in its most
ornamental form. The new chemises
narrow at the waist line, in fact, al
most fitting the figure, flare at the
bottom, taking the place of an under
skirt. Since American women have
experienced the comfort of umbrella
drawers, no other style is so much in
demand, and as they are now obtain
able in domestic goods, the price is
considerably lowered. There is little
change in gowns and corset-Covers,
except that the heavy laces, either
real or in such remarkable limitations
that only an expert can tell the differ
ence.
The season of festivity and balls
has reached it's climax, and as yet we
are ever in search of something which
we do not see repeated wherever fash
gown of white satin has much to
recommend it. The skirt is especially
unique. being composed of godets cut
narrow at the waist line and extend
ing in a fashionab bic flare towards the
bottom, where a flounce of plated
white mOusseline forms the trimming
The seams that connect the godets are
entirely hidden by rows of white glass
and pearl beads, sewn en- separately
The decollete bodice fastens down the
back and is almost covered with white
mousseline. A ruche of fine white
Brussels netting, intermixed with
the top of the bodice. while five bands
of narrow satin ribbon, braided down
the center, form the garniture for the
front. The sleeves are made of ruff
fes of the mOusseline, arranged to
initiate the petals of rose. Over the
left shoulder falls an immense show
err bunch of La France roses.
