Taste is necessary in SO simple a thing

The new Madras patterns are worthy
a chapter. Madras has such a body
that it can be used for a between sea-
is time for the lawn waist. That very
democratic little woman, Mrs. W. X.
Vanderbilt. Jr., has been wearing shirt
waists of Madras cloth all winter. Many
very fashionable matrons of the so-called
400" have revelled in the luxury of the
wash waist in January. For these wOm-
EN- there are o being made whole
trunks of the shirt waists that are not
thin waists. but are for wear during the
painfully long months of spring when
winter clothing drags upon the Shout

The wool challie is more than hold
ing its ow1. 1t ome in many colors
and patterns. each having a virtue OF
its own. The cream chalIie has its place
in evening wear; the very pale colors
come in for morning use; while for after
Moons, when there are callers, or when
there are calls to be made, there are the
new greens, browns, blues and grays, all
suited to these purposes.
If you doubt that a wool challie could
be worn upon a reception day. please
take note of one worn at a Washing
ton luncheon by a young lady who en-
tertains extensively and whose guests
that day included Miss Grace Mckinley
and Miss Hay.
The waist. Of ecru challie, was of the
tucked variety, the tucks no larger than
a cording. Squares of cream Russian
lace were appliqued upon the waist, out
lining a yoke and indicating the middle
Of the front. Lace also trimmed the
sleeves. The neck was finished with a
velvet stock of butter-colored velvet
ribbon, brought around the neck and
fastened in an Edna May knot. which has
no loops-only two ends-and is drawn
through a buckle just under the chin.
and the waist was worn with a shirt of
cream groundwork, striped and figured
with brown.
THNApPULAR COLOR.
Old rose will be the popular color in
Madras. 1t is almost too early to pre-
dict the popular summer color, but old
rose will certainly hold it's own, and
may enjoy the popularity of crushed
strawberry several seasons ago. If old
rose has a rival it is heliotrope and VIC !
let; but these colors are worn more. in
the spring than in the summer
Several features are noticeable about
the new shirt waists. They are made, |
for the most part, without the yoke. The |
waist is given an added length by the
long, straight lines that extend from the |
chin to the belt. These lines are accom- |
