EASTER TRIPLES.
Among the pretty things which will
appear at Easter can be mentioned a
bouquet Of Philadelphia violets. This
means bunch of silk violets. large
and very highly perfumed. In the CEN
ter OF the bunch two or three Violets are
pulled out to the full length of their
stems SO that they nod all the time
another floral novelty is a cabbage
rose with the outside petals of velvet
the inside ones of silk. The cabbage
rose OF the South corresponds to the
american Beauty rose of the North.
1t IS cultivated this year in new shades, |
almost purple in the depths, and is i'm
itated in velvet and silk as described.
Buttons deserve more than passing |
notice. They are really valuable OTna- |
ments and are used as such. Cuffs are |
trimmed with them and buttons trim |
lapels in the most useless way. The |
revival of this fashion is attributed to |
Mrs. John w. Mackay, who owns many |
sets of the most exquisite and eXpen- |
sive buttons. These are used for cuff |
and coat trimmings and for outlining |
the double breast of a bodice
The Gay Of the lace bow is at hand |
A large white bow is tied under the |
chin, and is worn with any and all
dresses. Do not think you can go
amiss with this lace bow, provided al
ways that it is very fine and of a quail
ity of lace that is really nice. Plain
chiffon or the finest of null or lawn,
if absolutely lace-like, can be Worn in
stead of lace.
A pretty design for a maid or matron
Of sober tastes shows a complete gown
Of steel gray mousseline, sheer as a
spiders web. 1t is worn over white
satin in the daytime In the evening
the prettiest of rose Innings will shine
through the gray. Grays are worn with
all colors this year, blue being special
- chic and F'rGnchy.
Beware of dark colors in selecting
summer goods. The fade shades will
be the fashionable ones. Dark cam
brics are labor saving, but they are
seldom either fashionable or pretty,
and will hardly find a place among the
August dresses.
But let the summer woman not de-
pend entirely upon cheap goods. Only
his is the month for summer sewing,
and for her own needle she can best
,onfine herself to goods so easily han
He'd and so inexpensive that a slip in
tut or finish will not be too expensive.
