chief Of their many uses Is to tide their devo-
tees over from one season to another. A num-
Der OF smart models in silk and wash materials
are shown In the group. In silk the pure white
waist Is the swell thing, provided 1t is stylishly
made and trimmed with marked simplicity.
Elaborate establishment OF any sort is no
longer tolerated. and all waists must be made
with the long line in front. Many OF
the cotton waists are made Of fine lawn, tucked
oil over In bias or straight up and down tucks.
and are finished with small revers and n fancy
collar. The sleeves OF such waists are not
made like the ordinary shirt waist sleeve. but
are tucked at the top and finished at the hand
with n iarinG tucked cuff. Other white waists
show insertions Of embroidery. and still others
ARE made Of all over Swiss embroidery and
yalenciennes lace and are worn over colored
silk Innings.
Practical women favor more highly the regu-
lation tailor made shirt waist. which is fash

white chiffon ruching. A vest OF plain chiffon.
outlined with tiny ruchings. finishes the waist.
The skirts OF the new foulards fit 80 closely
from the waist to some little distance below
the knees that IL Is necessary to make the
overdress very long. since nothing in the way
OF brevity or establishment can be allowed to
interfere with the clinginR effect. Even IL the
overdress is well rounded up on one side. as In
some ofthe imported models. IL sweeps away
well into the hem OF the foundation skirt on
the other side and behind. The idea OF con-
tinuity, SO marked n feature in the embellish-
ment Of spring gowns. leads up to the prin-
cess dress. which. in the softer silks. stops
short at what we call the princess effect. a far
more practical. useful and becoming method.
The third illustration will be found an excellent
composition for those who want an unbroken
line at the waist. This half princess. half red
ingote. is being used n good deal In Paris.
Around the hem of soft silk dresses. even those
designed for rough-and- ready wear. there may
be any amount of fulness and fluffy trimmings;
30 much. as n matter OF fact. that tho average
woman will have to take a good many lessons
in the art OF walking before she will be able to
get about with any degree OF safety or grace.
For the space Of ten or twelve inches you may
indulge in as many small-shaped fiounces or
~plaitings edged with chiffon ruchings or lace
or muslin appliques as you have a mind to.
Broad gulpure collars. fastened on one side
with black velvet loops and crystal buttons.
trim some OF the foulard gowns; others are
made exceedingly rich looking by the intro
duction OF bands OF embroidered aatin on
waist and skirt. The bolero. which1is in gem
eral favor. also has its place on the summer
silk. but is usually OF heavy lace.

An American Naval omcer's spanish Wife.

One OF the passengers aboard the United

the bewildering wealth OF hair. the deep black

White cloth gowns are already being much
used for at homes in the Lenten season.
One OF the most charming models Of
the sort noted is the last. which is
cut ava on waist and skirt to show black
and gold embroidery in an open-work design
on white satin. AS hot weather advances gowns
OF white cashmere and cloth will be much used
for day wear at fashionable resorts.
Pastelle is a new cloth with a dull surface
likely to be much worn. A new feature OF the
cloth gown. fashioned with a tunic and bodice
cut In one. is its plain silk skirt trimmed with
several narrow bands OF cloth again 1t 10 worn
over a kilt plated skirt OF silk. The most
striking Of these redingotes. as they are called
in Paris. fall in a point at the back. Another
item is the trimming Of the sides and back of
cloth skirts with a series OF narrow velvet rib
bon rufies for about a foot above the hem.
The front Of such skirts Is stitched on In panel

shown. Foulard Is combined with the trans

Man often wonders how woman can give her
mind 80 completely to the breezy fantasies OF
spring. while winter still forces keen east
winds and biting frosts on her attention;
neither can he understand how she can think
OF thin summer silks. much less have them

furs Is still most acceptable. When it comes
to the subject Of fashion. woman always
thinks. talks and plans ahead OF time. and
this is well. for, as it is. in a fortnight
dressmakers and tailors will be so
overwhelmed with work that everybody will be
complaining that no one can get anything to
wear. In the meantime it is well for women to
be very careful not to turn one way or the
other. not to listen to this. that and the other
rumor. and not to pay the least attention to the
whims OF advocates Of extreme styles. but to
steer straight for the very latest fashion which
Paris sends. and that is the cloth gown. Every
woman who desires to be smart has already.
