times with satin ribbons and show tabled

Cashmere is in favor again. and Its re-
entree has been greeted with enthusiasm.
There never was more graceful material
and seldom prettier or more becoming. 1t
hangs perfectly. and has such a soft, refin-
ed look about 1t that the only wonder is 1t
has been SO long out OF favor. AS 1t has
reapueared. 1t is softer and brighter than
ever before. and the colors are very lovely.
Just now green is the fayorite hue for
dresses. either for whole costumes or for
trimming 1 have often noticed tendency
to lump with Dame Nature in this respect
and get into green attire in the spring.
This year however. 1t is decidedly more
pronounced than usual; consequently, the
green era may well continue through the
season.
The effect is quaint, and very becoming.
The straws to which this style Is most APP
plicable are OF Leghorn or Panama straw.
