Among pretty spring suits for boys from

blouse suit with leather belt, made of dark
blue, all wool serge, seems to be prime
favorite: the sailor collar trimmed with
twenty five rows of white silk braid at the
front, and the white shield embroidered
in blue silk. Blue serge sailor suits for
children from three to twelve continue in
great favor, and trimmed on collar and
shield with crimson soutache braid are
very attractive, coming with both knee
pants or full blouse trousers. Price 81. So.
As variety, the collars and shields are
sometimes embroidered in crimson boat
swain S wheel.

LADIES TAILOR SUITS
Show the Eton jacket in various modi-
tications, sometimes pointed at the front,
or rounded, and skirts for the most part
in three pieces-a small front breadth,
with the sides laid over in one or more
folds, and box plait at the back. Soft
fabrics, such as foulard silks, are in kilt
plaits at the back and sides, and tucks on
cloth dresses no longer appear at the front.
New shirt waists are without yokes, the
fullness being at the centre of the back or
the genuine French back is the alternative
Fancy waists are in endless variety. Hem
stitched, tucked, open at the front with
embroidered revers, open-lace over color
ed silk, or rows of very narrow black or
colored velvet run through lace, are all in
style
STRIPED SILK
! In fancy patterns make very handsome
waists, OF cut jet beads on white silk. A
novelty appears in handkerchiefs about a
yard square, intended especially for waists
combining fashionable colors, and bord-
cred with plain colored silk, fringed out
all around. Two of these squares are sup
posed to make waist, either of the Elton
or ordinary shape.
BLUE FOULARD SILKS
| Are shown in such numbers that they
fancy stripes are prominent, and this sea-
son wash silks come with large cords in
stripes and checks, which give founda-
ton to this hitherto tlimsy fabric, there
by largely increasing its popularity. Soft,
twilled silks in plain colors showing ''a
satin finish will be very much employed,
and are we'll calculated to show off hand
some passementerie or lace trimmings.
