EARLY SPRING WEAR.
some Hints for Feminine Followers
of the Fashions.


Handsome mixed gray cloths show
heavy borders with rich and ornamental
designs in black. Checks and basket
effects are also seen in the borders.
Mohairs and cheviots will be in favor
IN the spring, together with fine dag
onals and rep materials.
Ready-made cuirass bodices are seen
In great variety in the stores. They
are dainty, picturesque adjunets to
many toilets, and may be had in silver
or tinselcd chiffon, spangled Jet, beads
md steel and jewel embroidery. Trim
mugs to match may be had by the
yard.
An especially handsome dress fabric
is the half-silk plaid, having black
corded checks. Other half-silk goods
are in pique-like effects, showing
bright colors. with the black cord check
running through them. These goods
will be among the newest for spring
gowns.
Many of the model costumes for early
spring wear have EN- suite tiny stole
fronted shoulder cape matching the
gown, this little wrap being very short,
rather full, and exceedingly smart in
effect.
American manufacturers have pro-
duced very attractive line of satin
striped mohairs this season which are
far more soft and pliable than the mo-
hairs of other days, for they are much
lighter in texture, and the usual stiff
underweb or filling is now omitted in
the weaving.
Odd arrangements of plated frill-
ing, braid. velvet and lace are very
much used by fashionable Grcssmakers
On bodices, redingotes and princess
gowns fastened at the left side, and a
very dressy appearance is impaired to
otherwise simple gowns by the adj
dition of these trimmings. - Chicago

HULLS VIEWS.
| New York, July "a special to the

resentative Hull, chairman of the house
military affairs committee, had this to
! say in regard to the use of smokeleSs
| powder: THE trouble is that we could
not get the smokeless powder at the
outbreak of the war, though it was an
| American invention. Inere are in this
] country no facilities to produce it in
sufficient amount. Congress long ago
should have provided for the manufac-
! ture of such powder in this country.
| Contracts should have been made so as
! to warrant manufacturers to produce
it. But it costs a little more than
other powder and too many of our
people in congress thought we never
would have a war, and therefore would
not prepare for the possibility. We
tried TO buy it abroad when the war
came, but Spain had bought it all there.

to stimulate the manufacture of that

we wanted for this war.
