With the white shirt waists the Par
isian woman will wear a straight,
high neckband Of ribbon and over
this put lace tie formed of a wide
strip OF insertion edged with lace.
The ends are rounded and the lace
quilted around them. These cravats
will tie in smart little bows under
the chin. Such ties will be very
fresh and dainty for warm weather
wear, and no doubt they will be
adopted by great many women.
There are number of waists of
madras and other heavy stuff5 that
are very modish in appearance, but
here, at least, the thinner, softer
shirt waists are going tn rule.
AS for the shirt waists that are
now being worn, heavy white silks
and satins in white are having an
immense vogue, while very dressy
extra bodices are being made of
changeable silks trimmed with white
put on in folds and used as vests,
collars, etc. Lace Is not used at all
Oh the latest silk waists. Corded
white silk Is much used for trim
ming. By corded silk mean fine,
thin white silk run with fine cords,
put in by hand, that allow the ia
brio to quicker in "A slight puff, the
cords put less than an inch apart.
A great deal of pink will be worn
in the spring and summer. The
queenly rose and the modest violet
have already begun to appear as
rivals in both fabrics and millinery.

quite certain that it will be a rose
summer. 1t has really been a rose
winter. Looking backward, one has
this fact borne in upon one which
recalls the number of exquisite rose
tinted silks and Fauzes that one has
seen during the gay season. But
the rose and the violet combine very
effectively, and in the spring hats
one sees them very charm!ngly en-
ployed.

Partisan Millinery.
Flowers are a-bloom-in the mil
lInery shops. And these are the
forerunners of the genuine flowers of
sping.
The American maid and matron
will be, no doubt, interested in know
ing what their milliners now abroad
will bring home rs models, and Just
what the spring hats that are al
ready boxed for shipping look like.
The spring hat is small and, lit
orally, a bunch of flowers.
A side trimming is preferred on
the small hats. The few big hats
that are shown are trimmed at the
front. AS the summer season comes
on no doubt larger straw hats will
be worn to considerable extent
but at present they are not flea
tured."
This will, undoubtedly be rose
season. The rose leads, and violets
and orchids follow very closely. A
beautiful hat novelty shown in Pa.
quin's the other day was an orchid
capOte. One side was composed en-
tirely of orchids of deep lilac shade
toning to pink, and the other side
had pale green and while orchids
with a fairy-like aigrette in green
and white floating out from the side
A practical little hat for early spring
wear was of close fine satin braiC
of pale violet tint, the small fla
brim bound with a dark shade o
violet velvet. The low, round crown
was encirculed and almost bidder
by q garland of shaded velvet vic
lets with green satin leaves. The
flowers were punched up little a
the left side in thick cluster with 6
few loops Of the velvet. The wreatt
of viOlets was so close and wide tina
the crown was almost hidden.-St
