SEEN IN THE SHOPS.
WITH THE SUMMER GIRL-THE
SHIRRED COSTUME

Bolero effects are likely to as popular as ever
with the early spring costumes, and will assert
themselves in every conceivable shape-long and
short, with or without sleeves merely, elbow
sleeves.
Some of the smart costumes in light cloths will
have little boleros of panne velvet untrimmed. save
perhaps with tiny finish of silver soutache braid
and elaborate collar of lace. In fact. boleros
almost infinite in their variety. Some will be
made of spangled nets. for which proper finish
is narrow fringe of gold, silver jet. Again will
be seen boleros in the heavier laces. which are
always stylish besides the jaunty little affairs for
foulards. other soft materials made from al
ternate bands of velvet ribbon and lace insertions
That skirts will be volumrous there is no
question Of doubt. with the advent of warm
weather and thin fabrics there comes the Oppor-
tunity for shirring, shocking and ruffing in their
II aBeup Much shirring will be affected by slender
women, on both bodces and sleeves, while oc-
casionally the entire waist will be shirred over a
lining in rows around the figure. or in perpen-
dicular rows from neck to waistband while the
same idea is carried out in the sleeves.
THE SHIRT WAIST OF 1901.
The earliest designs in shirt waists elicting
special attention. particularly those in cotton
madras. In which the combination of colors is
truly wonderful. These range from stripes of vivid
greens and yellows flaming reds and rich blues. to
the most delicate of pastel shades In the way of
making they show distinct points of difference
from last years designs. Box pIeats and yokes
have disappeared from the backs which are per-
fectly fat with just enough funess at the waist
line TO draw the material in closely the figure.
The cuff is narrower than formerly and the box
pleat down the centre front is lessened in width.
The favored long wasted effect is obtained by
stitching the fulness in a V we'll below the waist
line. Long shoulders will prevail. and more full
ness will be noticeable al the top of the sleeves.
The prettieSt white waists those made of
irish linen, hand embroidered. Some Of the de
signs are polka dots, heur de lis ana tiny clover
leaves. and to accompany such waists all white
stocks with craVat bows, hemstitched and en-
broldered. Other linen waists embroidered in
being most popular In bright red, emerald green,
pink light blue and violet. The stocks to be worn
with these waists are in chevot. in color matching
