matching in color the goods, adds much elegance to this new skirt, es- pecially when the material chosen hap
 pens to be crepe de chine or the all- conquering nuns yelling. Satin faced foulard promises to be among the faForite materials for smart aft ment is to trim these silken gowns
 with one or more accordion-plaited rufies, made of black point de esprit net over one of white taffeta silk. An
 other fad, and very pretty one, too, is to have little cloth fbolero matching the prevailing color in the silk. For Instance, a laven- der and white foulard was fin ished with a smart-looking bolero fashioned of lavender cloth and trimmed with narrow silver and white braid and tiny silver buttons. An
 othergown in which this idea was very prettily carried out was in lovely shade of rose pink lightly patterned in black and white The chic bodice was rendered doubly so by means of
 iaunty white cloth bolero, cut very Short in the back to show folded girdle of turquoise blue panne velvet. I know the intermingling of rose pink and turquoise blue sounds rather dar- ing, but in this particular instance the combination was introduced by the artistic fingers of master hand, with results that were simply stunning.
 The extreme daintiness of the new cotton fabrics cannot but appeal in the strongest manner to the love of the beautiful innate in womankind. Cool-looking dimities and French lawns are to be reci1oned among the most attractive materials now on ex- hibition, while the silk ginghams and embroidered cotton -batistes are love 1y enough to tempt the unwary into rank extravaganza. They come in white, pale blue, light green and all the pretty new shades of pink. Some of the silk ginghams have double border of silk woven on the edge, which is meant to be used as trim ming in connection with much lace and yards upon yards of the ever-popular Persian ribbon. Many of the new mercerized ducks and cheviots, cotton though they be, are exceedingly beau tfful, and so closely resemble the most Iustrous silk as to make them quite admira bly suited for any but the most dressT wear. Within the week I have seen some very swell-looking tailor gowns fashioned of both these mate riaIs, those of cheviot being particu- Iarly fetching. All were as carefully | tailored, even down to the smallest | detail, as though made of the finest 1 broadcloth. Some showed 10 particu- lar advantage with their short Eton coats tucked F,oth back and front, 1

FANCIES OF FASHION.
They Are of the Daintiest and Most
 Delightful Nature.
New. Skirt Is Graceful fin It's Lines and Universally Becoming BIouses Trimmed in Laces
 and Embroidery.
Especial Chicago Letter.

A s FAR as it is possible to judge A at the present moment, there
 seems to be every reason to be- ieve that the fashions of the imme- diate future will be of the daintiest and most delightful description. The weather this spring has been so cold and generally disagreeable that really smart clothes have been in very little demand, in consequence whereof modistes have had much longer pc riod of rest than is usually the case, and they seem to have employed their leisure to the greatest possible adyan- tage in the designing of charming gowns suitable for both early and mid summer wear, which are far prettier and more generally becoming than anything which has been seen for many seasons. To be sure, some of the main features that marked the spring styles are carried out in the summer modes, but all are changed and improved upon to such degree as to be hardly recog- nizable.
 The new skirt continues to fit with glove-like snugness about the hips, and with the same wonderful amount of flare at the bottom as heretofore. The jaunty little bolero is to be seen on every other gown as of yore, while the old, yet ever new, blouse-bodice still reigns supreme; but, somehow, by bold contrast of color, an extra sash to the rever of the bolero or delft twist to the pouehed bodice, the clever modiste has managed to give an air of extreme novelty to these sum- mer gowns that is both pleasing and fascinating.
 Every device and trick known to the trade is employed to produce the graceful fullness at the bottom of the approved skirt, and according to the decree of Dame Fashion it must show either tucks, plaitings or one or more graceful hounces as its most dis tinctive feature. A taffeta foundation,

The Mystery of aTwo Ten.

Baroness Burdette Coutts was once shopping in Paris, and whenever she went from one department to an other she was escorted by clerk, who handed her over to another attendant. saying: ''Two ten" Struck by the peculiarity of the oft-repeated caba- listic words, the baroness asked the proprietor as she left the establish Rent:
 ''Pray, what does two ten mean !? noticed that each clerk repeated it to the next as went from one counter to the other"
 "Oh,'it is nothing" replied the man. ''It is just a password they are in tile habit of exchanging" But the baron ess was not satisfied. When the DOT ter, a mere lad, brought home her purchase, she said to him:
 My ooy, would you like to earn five francs?" Of course he would be charmed.
 ..Then tell me what two ten means. and will give you five francs" The youth looked at her in astonishment.
 Don't you know, madam? Why, it means: Keep your eyes on her ten fngers;''
 That solved the mystery The rich est and most generous woman in Eng land had been taken for shopliftcr. Louisville Courier-Journal.

shade in millinery is a lovely nut brown, and is dividing the honors with an equally exquisite shade known as flame pink" Soft straws in this latter shade are particularly popular with milliners just now, who veil them with tulle and generally trim them with flowers in dead tones, sometimes mixed with old lace.
 One of the most lovely new models in headgear I have seen was a nut brown straw toque, trimmed with soft pink roses, with some old pat termed coffee lace placed to droop low over the brim. Shapes are very Hat and wide just now, and very often they are curved at the side. Flowers will be immensely popular later in the season. Many of the new hats are worn tilted off the face, and cut up the back to show the new low coiffure, the brims being lined with some controlling color. Some are quite square in front, the entire crowns being garlanded in y1owers. The wide boat shape is kept flat and simply trimmed with foliage. I rather doubt whether this new flat style of headgear will prove becoming to many, but it is change; and so we welcome it for it's air of novelty if not for it's beauty and general be- KATE GARDNER.

collars of embroidered lawn. These collars are worn low on the shoulder and give rather a sloping effect, with an inner vest of tucked lawn and lace to correspond. The popularity of the lace blouse seems rather to wax than wane, and just now it is the proper caper to have it made of handsome Maltese lace. I am bound to tell you, however, that this lace used in the making of the approved blouse, in which much fine handwork must ap- pear, would run the price of the gar ment up to a figure that would place it quite beyond the reach of the aver age purse.
