New TaGeta Silks,

Flowered taffeta silks are in much more
subdued colorings than last year but are
more artistic. They are used for evening
as well as for reception gowns and, oddly
enough. are combined with plain silk An
exceedingly smart gown that is favorite
model of the season is of a light tan silk,
with punches of pink roses. The skirt
itself is strapped with bands of plain tan
silk, finished with black taffeta and hem
stitching in heavy black silk. The waist
is of the silk, in a blouse shape, trimmed
to match the skirt with the bands of plain
silk, and showing in front a yellow lace
over which are straps of black velvet,
fastened with rhinestone buckles. The belt
is narrow pointed one of black taffeta
and the collar a black taffeta stock A
most original design has here been carried
out, and the touch of black against the
light tan and pink is marvelously effective
There is In the black blue prune. green
and white, an endless variety of design and
colorfng. The blue is a bright china blue
and is the smartest, the prune more fash
ionable than the blue and the green de-
liciously cool-looking; but red is newest
of all.

brim a broad bright buckle through which
a big velvet bow is pulled is the proper
decoration. A large ball-shaped tuft of
flowers or another bow and buckle is ap-
proved as ornamentation in front.
Baby ribbons deserve more than pass
Ing notice. They have made their spring
appearance with a flourish and are used
literally in dress decoration. Let US con-
slider as case in point the little Veined
etamine gown of the single picture. 1t is
trimmed with two types of ribbon and
little imitation Irish lace. In common with
many a smart suit of the season, It fastens
In the rear and is banded prettily in
yoked effect with bullion telegraph ribbon.
AS a passing fantasy of the spring, tele-
graph ribbon. in any color, with it's black
dots and dashes, is most interesting and
worthy Of utilization on a light afternoon
or house frock. On the skirt and right
shoulder of this costume appear large POM
pons of the new baby ribbon that has
satin center and edge of gilt or silver or
mingled bullion and turquoise threads. In
the hair, on evening dresses and in light
tulle toques and such, gold edge baby rib
bon has a proudly important position. 1t
Is not costly, and yet very crisp and gay
and decidedly a contemporary of the very
latest phases Of the fashions.

often ornamented with little Vatican
scenes painted on their silk skins and the
tableau of piping shepherds or dancing
nymphs is then framed In circular or
oblong wreath of lace. Extravasantlv
pretty are the ribbon sunshades. For these
the ribbons are herringboned together with
gilt or silver thread and the ends of each
strip of gay silk finished In a point. to
which light gilt ferret is attached. When
the sunshade is open these fringe the bot
tom of the silken dome and tinlxle together
like pagoda bells. When the sunshade Is
closed they form jeweled necklace at the
base of the handle.
Another highly approved parasol is made
or gold or silver tissue drawn over a COL
ored silk foundation, and yet another and
distinctly brilliant example is of white
louisine brillfante, mounted on stick of
silver gilt and ornamented on its white
dome with glittering sun spots, from which
spangled rays diverge.
Vatican Hats.
What pleases feminine fancy greatly are
the hats of pure Vatican shape for after
noon wear and the compact, simple and
comfortable Little Corporal walking hat.
In this last shape there is clearly defin-
ed craze for black and white. A Little
Corporal has it's brim cooked in a point
over the face in front and fastened up nat
to the crown in the rear. On the rear

waists, mohair shirt waists, and the wash
silks-and these last are the smartest of
any this year, for they really do launder
nIarvelously well, bette. than any mate
rails that require starch. White waists are
smarter this year than ever, as are plain
cclors, but In the colors the stripes are
considered more novel These stripes are
III three or four shades of the one color
and are as a rule, imported by the shirt
makers The waist with the yoke in the
back, a very short yoke on the shoulders,
fullness below the yoke and blousing
little at the belt in front, is an old pat
tern, but favorite one again. The waists
made with box pleats, either large or
small, are not satisfactory; for when they
are laundered it is almost impossible to
nave the pleats ironed in the shape that
they originally were, and it is best to have
something that will come out of the laun-
dry in the same shape it goes in.

NEW YORK, April II, 1901
This is season of genuine novelties in
fabrics. The foulards have had to put their
best foot foremost in order to meet the
sharp competition Of the exquisite SOFT

satin has been set aside entirely for regen-
cy satin; liberty satin and peau de cygne
and the challes and voiles that opened the
ball confidently in February and filled all
the show windows have been utterly crowd
ed out by the canvas cloth, tanise etamine
and embroidered wolfe.
Not only should a shopper be warned in
due season as to these changes in fabrics,
but caution must be given against too
free Indulgence in tucks. Tucks are still
considered useful and pretty, but their
reign is over and the gown that two years
ago would have been fashionable puckered
from train to collar is now stiff with en-
broidery. !7 es-s Is

Some Of the pale tan and cream hatiste

This attractive costume is of the fine deep
cream batiste that the Partisan dressmakcr

heavy needlework In the same color, that

School Girl Fashions.


School girls are having attractive frocks
made up for the summer in the Russian
blouse style like those for the small chill
dren, and also in sailor style. These are
made of pique, linen, galatea or striped per-
Gales, or in serge or flannel. Sailor suits
are more elaborate than they were. The
skirts flare more, the collars have more
rows of braid and the vest is more elabo-
rately embroidered. The shape is the same
in all instances, but the original model is
rather lost sight of in the white pique
and linens that have embroidered collars
and embroidered vests. Fortunately the
style is generally a becoming one. but
care must be taken that there is not too
much fullness at the sides of the blouse,
for that makes a girl look absolutely shape

mer. These frocks are suitable for girls
until they are twelve years of age, but
after that they look better in q more
