SOME STRIKING GOWNS.

As warmer days approach less is
heard of princess dresses, though they
are still in good style and not infre-
uuent among the spring gowns. Six
months ago dressmakers were hearty
in their endorsement of them,and Sus-
picious folk said that this was because
such gowns were beyond the skill OF
most at-home dressmakers. Less is
said in their favor now, and as II the
crafty designers were striving to pro-
long the favor for costumes which
they alone can successfully put to-
gether. the latest models are pronounc-
ed in their unuSualnesS. One of these
is shown here. made from a cloth
whose vivid red proclaimed its new
ness. All the seams were strapped,
row of stitching Ornamented the hem,
and the bodice part was made tight
fitting. It's large revers were white sat
in covered with chiffon, stock collar
and jabOt being to match, Each corner
of the revers was fastened with
large ivory button, a similar button
marking the waist, and the small
sleeves were plain but for their strap
ped seams. If braiding were preferred
to the lace as OrnamentatiOn for the
revers, it could be used with good re-
suits, a fine gilt braid being better
than black in this case.
If you can afford it, manage a hand

your dressy spring coat, as well as
with other garments. The handSOmest

AS the time approaches for en-
joying the comfortable -dacevgffl ,.ffi
shirt waists, women are taking a shy
at snugness, and the cloth dresses of
early spring are characterised by
fitting that no wrinkle blemishes. A
rig of this precise order is presented
here by the artist. who found it in
turquoise blue cashmere. In front
were pleats of the goods, and over the
otherwise tight bodice came blue
velvet bolero whose sdges were bound
with bias folds of white satin. The
slashed medici collar, which was cut
in one with the jacket, was. lined with
satin and banded with gilt braid, and
the mousquetaire sleeves of the goods,
were capped by four epaulettes in
graduate widths, each bound with
the gilt. In sides and back this jacket
was glove fitting and even the folded
goods beneathed 1t barely suggested
a looseness that really was not there.

WOMEN IN RED.

There's no attempt at softening
reds this spring, and a burst Of them
has taken hold of women. The bright
est shades of this color are now found
in new dress stuffs, and, moreover,
women are wearing them, though the
colors are the very ones that have
heretofore been left for little girls.
The dress of this picture was I'M
disguised scarlet, in a cashmere, and
though it was very freely trimmed
with black velvet ribbon, enough of
the goods was-left to almost stun the
observer. At the hips there was trim
ming Of velvet ribbon and lace medal
lions, and the bodice was almost COW
cred with the ribbon. Its revers were
white satin banded with tiny ruchings
of baby ribbon, jabOt and collar were
of white mousseline de sole, and the
chemisette matched them. The belt,
however, was black velvet, and the
sleeves were trimmed to match the

striking in March; but by May will be
well accustomed to it's kind.
Nothing authoritative can be said
about the skirt that may be worn
with any bodice. Black satin is gone
by so thoroughly that ii is economy
to transform your old fashioned black
satin skirt into a new fashioned blouse
or coat, For winter, velvet skirts have
been the absolutely exclusive things.
Now exquisitely fine and silky finish
cloths are all right for any but really
dressy wear, when, in black, they do
not seem to fill the bill. Brocaded sat
ins with great spreading matched fig
ures are worn, but they are, not new
and are not becoming to short women.
The newest silks show dark ground
with little pinhead spots of a bright
color, say ground of sapphire and a
spit of flame color. With such skirt,
which will be cut out in points at the
foot to show an elaborate braiding, a
touch of scarlet and squirt of bright
blue, may be worn on all black and
all blue, or a flame bodice, but any
bodice will not do. An unlined open
grenadine in black. with lap seams
held by scroll work of braiding up
each seam, may be worn, but that
means you must have an assortment
of silk underskirts. and that your I'M
derskirt, which will show through the
grenadine, shall be harmOnized to the
bodice you wear.

The transparent summer goods now
on view in the stores are a delight to
the eye and Il danger to the purse, not
the latter because of their own cost,
but because of the handsome Innings
that must go under them. These cost
a pretty penny and consequently the
notion for the coming season for fan
cy waists of null, Organdie or other
wash goods will be welcome one to
economical women, for, after all, it
is the skirt of the transparency that
counts so much against economy. AS
to that, you may wear a white skirt
of silk, cashmere or mOhair and with
it the most elaborate sort of an organ
die. with the loveliest effects in it of
delicate color.
Fortunately silks for Innings and
trimmings were never so moderate in
cost. and then there is a good OppOrtu-
nifty to work off the worn silk you
may have on hand. OF course, you
should have a new model for employ
ing such left over materials, and the
one pictured here may please you. 1t
was sketched in grass linen in lace
design, over cerise silk. The skirt was
trimmed front and back with narrow
bands of white null insertion, and the
bodice was drawn into fine pleats at
the waist line, each pleat having its
insertion trimming. The sleeves had
small puffs baided with the embrOid-
cry, as was also the ceriSe silk belt.
The cOllarette was Ovenl. being of the
goods over silk and edged all around
with Il fluted silk ruffle. The large silk
bow in front and back fastening with
a buckle completed the dress. A har-
monious suggestion of summer comes
in the hat, which was bright red fan

iums and red chiffon. Towering above

circles of the wide braid was a fine
tracery of gilt braid and this satin
appeared too, on the corners of a white
cloth vest. The bodice was on the
jacket order tight in black and fur
nished with ornate slashed collar. The
hat here is significant, showing that
this years sailor is, quite as far from
the erstwhile simple affair as last
years sailor was. 1t was in fancy

brown velvet ribbon and a huge
green bird.
