cloths are shown to great extent, but
they so closely resemble the cloths of
the winter that their popularity is not
likely to be long-lived Plaids and
plaided effects in plain colorings prom

! The spring girl and her bow will be
insenarable this year. Bows are to be
so plentiful that no young woman need
be without one And, happy thoughts
/ There are not only to be bows in great
number, but bows in many varied
types The spring girl need never
grow tired of her spring bow, for she
may change it at Will The bows are
not of the masculine persuasion. They
are of chiffon, satin, and silk, and are
altogether the gayest things in town.
There is the delicate, fluffy bow, be-
decked with lace frills, and the plain
bow, tied with tailor-like severity.
There are big bows and little bows,
butterfly bows and many variations OF
the four-in-hand ties.
The bow and the four-inhand also
combine their charms this spring. One
of the latest of the neckwear fancies
shows first big fluffy lace bow, mount
ed on an inconspicuous stock, while be-
low it a ribbon four-inhand with lace
ends peeps out This novelty is FREE
quently varied by having both the bow
and the four-in-hand made of accor-
dior plated silk or satin. Even the
tailor-made girl will wear this year a
wide null or net scarf. 1t must be very
wide to be in fashion and must tie in
big bow straight under her chin.
There are the plain scarfs of null and
mousseline de sole with tucked ends;
then there are those of black chiffon
with white lace designs apliqued to the
ends as a border, and others in white
chiffon with black lace borders, be-
sides great variety of net scarfs with
lace ends
A bow just in town is made of Ro-
man striped silk and boasts of beauti-
full silk fringe ends. 1t is tied about a
high linen collar and is arranged in
front in a bow with ends which reach
Just a trifie below the corsage. These
bows come not only in dark shades
striped with scarlet, vivid green and
brilliant yellow. but they can be
bought in all the light evening shades,
in soft cream, for example, crossed
with lines of baby blue, violet and
faint pink, with here and there hair
line of black.
The four-in- hands come not only in
these same Roman colors and finished
with fringed ends, but they may be
bought in all the brightest plaids In
the Roman scarfs the stripes run not
only up and down, but byadere. There
are SO many varieties of four-in-hand
ties this spring that the up-to-date girl
might wear one every day and yet her
ties would never lock alike. In the
first place. there is the conventional
four -in-hand in Roman stripes with
silk fringe ends; then there IS the
four-in- hand in satin or silk, which
Peeps out from beneath small turned
down fur collar and which was design
ed purposely to be worn right after the
fur boa is taken off.
And now the season of the Easter
bonnet draws on apace. There are hints
of the sort of thing about to bloom IN
the shop windows, and in the fashion,
able bonnet parlors. These are straight
from the establishment of Nine. Louise
and her Fifth avenue satellites, who
are Just now receiving invoices OF Eas-
ter models from Virot and Nine. Jnlia
and the famous millinery creators of
gay Paree'' Now how will this years
Easter bonnet differ from last year's9
Well, besides the novelties in shapes
there are several innovations in ma
terial. Vegetable silk has been turned
to the greatest advantage for silky
plaits, ready to be converted into hats
or bonnets. They are far less expen-
sive than the satin straws, and are a
marked feature in the spring modes.
