mer. Organize. madras, embroidered mus
lin, dimity and precale, not to mention the
Scotch cotton chevlots. n new ribbed linen
goods called Welsh cloth, Glasgow lappets
and simple, common or garden Bingham are
all on line, with, it must be remarked. very
wasted looking arms and puffy looking
bosoms.
On the whole, last INNER waists will
be as much the mode as IL bought fresh
from the counters and the advance stock.
OF course it will be necessary to pare down
the sleeves. but whoever contemplateS this
little subterfuge of economy ought not to
actually cut out any fullness. The wise plan
Is to draw the useless amplitude into a
series of little tucks. running from cuff to
armhOle, on the outside of the elbow. A
cluster OF three to five narrow plaits is
one of the features OF the new waists, else
just below the armhole five tucks ring the
sleeves, as a sort of idle, superfluous or
nament. Cuffs are exactly what they have
been those two years past; bosoms are very
full and still inclined to pouch over the belt
a trlle, and pointed Jokes in front as well
as back give a pretty percale waist a dis
t%inction. The yoke is cut bias, where a
striped cotton Is used.
NEW STUDS AND TIES.
The very neatest shirts will be worn with
imitation black pearl studs. Smoked pearl,
highly polished, is what they are really
made OF, set in little rims OF silver. Casting
an eye along the jewelry counters it is only
fair to report that scarf pins are bound to
be worn eXtravagantly in the future, be-
cause a revival of big ties promises to sweep
the nice little, tight little buffers bow
almost into forgetfulness, Big, handsome
four-in-hands are dangling everywhere, from
stock collars made OF the same silk or satin
or of Bingham to match the shirt pattern
In color and figure. If the neck Is not
utilized then a high white collar with I'M
broken points is correct. Tails of the satin
four-in-hand fall almost to the waist line,
and are pinned anywhere to the shirt. Dang
ling freely they will expose the pretty studs,
but a pin stuck somewhere into the side Of
bow, under the chin, is to be regarded as
eminently proper. ,
Again over at the jewelry counters new
belts are seen, almost without exception
OF leather, with long, narrow, plain buckles,
made of heavy silver wire with one big tooth
In the center. By way OF a novelty are the
belts sold of the same material as each
shirt waist. Their use all depends on
whether the shirts short rufiiing tails will
be worn inside or outside. The latter fash
lon is not only good form, but chic, II your
hips and waist are slender. In that event
a pink Bingham shirt waist has a belt OF
the same. buckled in front with silver, or
that dernier cri. a small carved tortoise
shell buckle.
NEW NEGLIGE COATS.
One would almost think oneself in a mans
furnishing shop, so much that is cut
on the masculine pattern has found Its way
on to the counters OF ready-made runabout
garments for women-a new bit OF wearing
apparel in this department that catches the
eye are negligee cheyiot and linen coats,
brown. russian crash and holland boleros,
heavily decorated In brown linen braid and
Intended for use over a shirt waist, worn
with a four-in-hand tie. Some of them are
astonishingly attractive, most especially the
scarlet linen and lady's cloth ones, to be
worn on golf links. They are later to APP
pear in duck and sailcloth. for yachting and
blue butchers linen for cyclists,
1t Is more to the point, though, Just now
to talk about the very new huge pun ties
that are out and bidding for custom. At
first women eyed these vast satin chest pro-
tectors with dismay, but the very smart
thing to wear OF a morning on the street
now Is a clear pink and white striped percale
shirt, high white collar, large folded puff
tie, with . Yearl pin Struggled into its central
creases, a waistcoat OF black MORE, striped
in clear red satin lines, and a short Tuxedo
coat. All of this is built around the great
tie that Is going TO be very hot IN summer,
but in the early spring will really serve as
a protector to chests covered by the too thin
cotton shirt.
FOR EVENING WEAR.
There Ia not, up to date, any decline In
the interest In decorative evening waists,
Many OF the newest ones are considered,
though hlgh-necked and lOng-sleeved, appro-
PIRATE for dinners and the opera boxes. DC
cssionally the neck is low. but invariably
the sleeves are long, for by some unanimous
agreement with her sex no woman goes bare
armed at present. This causes the possessor
OF obvious bones to rejoice, for put Just a
cloud of lace or chiffon over the ugliest Llem-
Der and IL becomes a lovely thing.
Tho pink chiffon waist sketched is a sug-
gestion for any woman, as this waist is
meant 10 use with almott all save walking
skirts, and so produces very charmingly
and inexpensive a full toilet. Behind there
is only the rosy fabric drawn over a white
silk lining; In front two scarfs drape across
the bust. to fasten at one side With a long
