toward tho shirt waist, there u this
difference, that the waist must in some
way match the skirt The all black
skirt will be worn. but it will be OF
duck. trimmed with bands Of colored
braid.
II black skirt is worn with col
ored waist it is well to select belt
which shall hold the black from the
vivid color. Thus. with skirt OF
black linen which is to be worn with
a waist of blue cheviot, there might be
girdle of mauve taffeta which would
correspond with a stock Of the same.
The Newest Gird1e.
They are making very pretty pat
tern of girdle. 1t consists of broad
band Of ribbon, say four inches wide,
boned in the back. Upon the ends are
sewed two rings of brass or steel. A
narrow ribbon is also sewed ct the
very same point where the ring is at
tached to the end of the belt. By a
simple system the narrow ribbons are
drawn through the opposite rings,
making sort Of draw string by which
the belt is pulled togther. after which
the narrow ribbons are tied in a neat
bow in the middle of the front This
style of belt will be much worn. 1t is
also adapted to the neck, in ribbons of
the same color as those used for the
belt.
The new shirt waists will be trim
med with lattice of WASH ribbon, or
braid. This is very easy TO apply, and
once applied, makes pretty trim
ming which will hold its own forever.
Mrs Levi p Morton, whose four
pretty daughters are dressed always in
the newest mode, wore, herself, at
Lenten lunceon, bodice which was
worth noticing. It's material was
blue-grey taffeta; it's trimming con-
sisted of bands or rose silk applied in
lattice and cuffs of the same. Her belt
was a stiffened lattice of the rose silk,
and there was on openwork lattice
stock of rose silk.
Fancy this same costume carried
out in an inexpensive wash material
with the lattice of ribbon. The result
would be the same and the waist one
which could be worn all summer.
The first spring hats are selected,
Oh
for wear. They are placed in the win
dows to indicate the fashions and to
serve as models. From these advance
fashions one would say that color is to
be the keynote of the summers fash
ions. With colors nicely and harmoni-
ously selected one can hardly go
wrong in the selection of the summer
modes. Let the hat and stock and belt
harmonic, and the rest of the dress
will take care of itself.
Necks, which were rather bulkily
dressed last season, show a tendency
toward longer lines. This is accom-
plished by dressing the shoulders
plainly. The neck is heightened by
the straight high collar or stock worn
without shoulder or yoke trimming of
any kind. The stock can depend for
its beauty upon its front bow, or knot
or ornament and upon it's back treat
ment- The stocks still show the ten
dency to point under the ears and
to dip at the front.
Perhaps the greatest, though not the
most important, of the spring changes
in fashion lies in my lady's shoes or
the treatment of the same. Neat
black patent leather ties have strings
of white, or dark brown, black or pur-
pie So with low shoes of grey suede
and shoes of white duck. So much for
summer shoes.
But by far the most fashionable
walking shoe of spring is the very
broad, very fiat golf shoe, which has
also tops of silk and velvet and other
materials.
A fashionable shoe dealer of New
York is selling shoes that are pre-
cisely like mems shoes. Their win
dows are decorated with signs that
read, Ladies' shoes, in mems fash
IONS" The shoes are broad, quite
fiat and slightly curved, like the shoes
that men wear. They look very like
ladies' golf shoes, but are finished
better and with higher polish. They
may enjoy quite a vogue, as the ten
dency is still for outdoor exercise.
