There is much to study among the
new modes and materials for the spring

trifing one. The woman who regards
dress in its proper relations and real i'm
portance, selects and arrsnges her attire
80 that it attracts no more than passing
attention and commentator.
Very much can be said in commenda-
ton OF present fashions, for they are east.
ly adapted to every woman's style OF fig
ure, and are, as a rule, becoming, provi-
ded there is personal taste shown in
making a selection.
The softly folded high collars COR over
long, over-thin, aud the long sleeves
with their enhancing lace frills, falling
over large or rudy hands, are, for ex-
ample, blessings in their way.
The bolero jacket, and the full, round

gracefully trailing gown and gored skirt
for those Of too great size;are additional
favors which deserve true appreciation
