SOClET '.

created the greatest sensation ol Easter day. It was of quartz ladies cloth, a pretty blue steel color. Tn fastenings and small metallic trim mings were of cut steel and at tn throat there was a very large fchu o quartz chiffon.
 They say that the only woman who's coat ever flies open in the one wh, wears a coat lined with bright satin This Cne was lined with brillian parme satin which was put on to tn very edge of the cloth so as to show it! hue.
 There is another legend afloat to th' effect that no woman who does no own silk petticoat ever holds up hel skirt. But with a silk petticoat to match the trimmings of her hat, it be- comes a sort of intuition to hold III the skirt so as to show the petticoat The Easter woman of this tale-she ol the quartz gown and parme lining wore for her Easter church going g skirt of loveliest bright parme silk Around the foot it had a sun plating which shook and rustled as she walked She wore parme colored gloves, and her pocket book repeated the parme purple. This suit easily outshone all others last Sunday.
 Give ne the small things of dress and I can do without the large ones, remarked a very clevefly dressed wo- man as she stood looking into the windows of one Of the largest stores.
 Her remark, dissected and analysed, turns out a very wise one. With the purple gown you wore last spring, CT the green one you wore all winter provided it is not too neavy-you can make very smart appearance by changing it with the small accessories of dress.
 Take the green gown and touch it Up with scarlet. With a scarlet stock, a scarlet vest, black and scarlet hat and a pair of new brilliant scarlet gloves, you can have a very good spring effect.
 Wear out your old dresses by mak- ing them pretty with ribbons and stocks, hats and gloves, belts and buckles, and thus economize and look fashionable at the same time.
 If you are interested in the colors you see today you may recognize them by these names: Fossil is deep grey; quartz is a steel grey; sultan yellow is D11IlldnI the gorgeous sunset note.
 The purples range from daffodil, which is yellowish purple, to laven- der, parme, new purple which is deep and rich. Castor is leaf grey and the new green is walnut shell green.
 On many of the spring designs this year there is much simple, but very ar tistic decoration. Sometimes it is sat af oil hr-oI 6 sometimes a touch of exquisite passe- menterie and at others the strong con- trast of widely different materials. In the cutting there are few radical de partures from the lines in vogue last year. The clothes fit little closer, and now and then an attempt is made to show the handsomer lines Of the wearer's figure.
 One of these attractive suits is made of Vicuna cloth with medium finish and of rather finer texture than usual. The skirt falls smoothly in front, forms two folds on each side and three folds in the back The waist is a mod flied blouse, with but little pOuching. It has a novel rolling front and high stand-up collar. The sleeves are neat. following the arm from the waist al most to the shoulder, where they are lightly puffed and stiffened on the up- per side. The lining is of taffeta silk in Roman stripe or fancy mixture. The collar, front, folds and sleeves Of the blouse and the front and sides Of the skirt are handsomely embroidered in silk braid. The suit is bound to wear well, vicuna cloth being almost equal to broadcloth in its strength, durability and other excellent qualities. Vicuna cloth is one of the neatest and comeliest of woolens, and it's attract iveness is but little changed by wear, rain or rough usage.
 The Easter services at the Phoenix churches were thoroughly enjoyed. The display of flowers was unusually rich, and the music was of a very high order. At the Presbyterian church Miss Sargent sang Easter Bells," with violin accompaniment by MT. Feuers- tein, in her most effective style. The selections by the choir were exceeding ly happy. At the Episcopal church the large congregation was delighted with solos on the harp by Miss Nab Alva Messinger. Miss Cora Brill sang a solo at vespers at the Catholic church.
 The Philharmonic society will giv' a concert for the benefit of the pro posed library sometime in May.
 The recital given by Miss Margare Randall at the M. B. church Tuesda evening attracted a large and fashion able audience. The program was
 varied and most attractive one Mls Randall is an artist in her profession and her selections were well calcu lated to show the wide range of he talent. Miss Randall was assisted b MT. Andrews and Miss Mckinney. Mi Andrews rendering Of the "Armorer Song from Robin Hood was part1cu larly pleasing. Miss Mckinney sang sparkling ballad entitled "Almon Blossoms, which was enthusiasticali received. The violin solo by MT. Ha sey was especially good. Last on th program, but by no means least, wer the Scarf Fantasies" participated i by Miss Plank, Miss Graham Miss Halsey, Miss Addine Bur, Miss Sherritt Miss Nutter Mis
