Illustrations of what we are to expect in

In materials for the coming season
there is a new silk called taffeta souple,
which, it is rumored, will GUST the fou
Iards from favor. AT least they are to
have second place on the list of summer
silks. Checked and striped taffetas are
to be very much worn, and in blue and
white and blue and pale gray they
make very dainty, cool looking gowns
for warm weather. Black taffeta is also
very conspicuous among the new spring
gowns already in evidence, and rutf1ed
skirts have the preference in this mate
rial. Black velvet ribbon is very gener-
ally used to edge the ruffles, but lace
edging and insertion are also employed.
A pretty way to freshen an old black
silk or satin gown is to cover 1T fro

A GLl.iPSE AT FASHIONS.
New Haes and Hair Ornaments Particu-
Iarlv Considered,

New Hats and Hair Ornaments Part1cu-
larly Considered.
As to the hats of the moment, very
charming ones have crowns made OF
flowers, fascinating example showing
a crown of shaded tulips, with brlm
of velvet and two black ostrich feathers
at one side, the lower of these being ar
ranged to rest on the hair, while curl
Gus jeweled ornament fastens the stem
of these feathers together. Hard straw
or tuscan brims are, it is told, to be
completed with crowns of flowers IN the
early spring, and again the authorities
inform us that the turban shape OF hat
is to be considered.
A striking fashion of treating the fur
toque of last year is with the crown OF
flowers, leaving the brim of the fur,
and admirable results are achieved with
crowns entirely made of jet and en-
broidery, with black ostrich feathers or
a black bird at one side of the front.
Such decorations are being placed low
rather than high, slanting downward
rather than upward.
A toque is a charming example OF
simple spring millinery in black chip
with blue velvet and band of mara
bou or ostrich feathers.
Another success is hat of glace silk
matching a gown-a tan shade, shot
with white, apparently tucked all over
and each tuck gathered with large os-
prey on one side.
Some new hats and bonnets are
formed of a chenille plait combined
with mousseline de sole. This in beaver
color has been trimmed beneath the
brim with bright yellow, the shape
somewhat larger than the ordinary
toque and wonderfully effective.

The Proper Way to Make Poultioe.

To make bread poultice neatly and
quickly is a thing worth knowing. The
proper way to make it is to soak some
stale bread crumbs for ten minutes in a
cup with just enough boiling water to
cover the bread. Stand the cup in a
basin of hot water and keep it in the
oven, covering the cup. When the
bread is soft, squeeze out the water and
put the sop on a square of linen or mus
lin, spread piece of muslin over and
use at once. If there is any danger of
sticking, smear the surface with plain
oil or vaseline before putting the mus
lin over.
For home nursing a dry bran or salt
poultice is often useful. Cover any poul-
tice, no matter of what &c be made, with
flannel after it has been applied, in or
der to retain the warmth. All poultices
used for children should be securely
fastened, otherwise they are liable to
shift their position.
