are to have elbow sleeves and marked
partiality is displayed for fichu shoulder
draperies and flowing sashes. Two ex-
quisitely fresh and comely little gradua-
ton costumes are sketched to show toward
what good styles the cultured mind leans
Both of these are embroidered batiStcS, in
warm cream tones. and one is dropped over
a foundation of the tenderest spring green
taffeta, while the other shows faint blns
through its soft mesh. Big. becomius
bows of white louisine ribbon shine in IL,
simply combed locks, but older girls dis
play preference for showing themselves
In wide, white hats
One big. fair hat just finished for Vas
sar graduate was made wholly of large
white silk poppies with golden hearts The
huge poppy petals covered brim and crown
and the yellow Centers showed in wreath
about the crowns base. Hats made COM
pletely of daisies. and white leghorns gar
niShed with white liaCS. are. among others
of striking characteristic, made on Spe-
cial demands that emanate from the seats
OF feminine learning. One milliner. who
speaks with authority. tells of number OF
lovely hats made for wear at the feStivi-
ties of mems as well as women's colleges;
hats they are of tucked tulle with enor-
nous tulle strings The strings are ar
ranged to knot at one side of the chin and
let fall a shower of tulle nearly ID the
knees. The effect must be distinctly worthy
of the occasions for which the fragile head
gear is manufactured.
EoIienne in New Tints.
Embroidered eolienne, or eolienne with
lace motifs applied to its surface. is the
latest goods to earn that highest feminine
praise of being perfectly sweet Eohenne
plain, wrought large amount of silk
and little wool. we have had now for two
seasons, but eolienne in bayadere ribbed
effect and in the newest hyaclnthlne. shell
and cloud tints with the above mentioned
lace applications, is a goods fit to rave over
There is q picture of beautiful Roman
hyacnth blue eoienne that accompanies
this text, and, with the unerring French in
Stnct for color combinations. the semi
transparent goods is dropped over stem
green foundation petticoat Dust brown
Arabian lace points are introduced about
| the hens of the foot fall and the overdress
! and at intervals entire deuX of the lace run
up from the tops OF the points to meet at
the waist line similar lines of lace thai run
| down from the square yoke of the basque.
The hat that is worn with this suit deserves
special comment. bt cause its Ike has not
| been seen before, and it is preparing the
| way for many of the same type soon to ar
rive from Paris. 1t is braided of common
river and swamp reeds, a growth that af-
| fordS a fine becoming tone of green, and
as a rule, these are wisely Sarnished with
the blossoms of water plants. White and
purple iris. marShmallow pnks, yellow
swamp lilies and such are the appropriate
flowers though in this instance blue and
purple and white hyacinths are employed.
Who's Got the Button.
There is no need to ask who's got the
button?" or buttons, rather, for every
third woman at least wears the order of
the button repeated many times on her
dress waist. A dress of pale gray heavily
corded eolienne is s6etched to show one
at least of the manifold ways in which
gowns are again decorated with pretty
little knobs of gold and bogus stones This
gown has three fiat founceS fall from the
knee with an oVerdress on top of them
all. Every flounce is scalloped and bound
with gray liberty satin ribbon, and the
underskirt, cleaning softly through the
goods is a bright sunset yellow silk. A
vest and undersleeves Of yellow chiffon,
striped in lines of gold. forms a picturesque
combination with the gray Siberian lace
bolerOs, and the straps. belt and shoulder
pieces are of golden brown panne. on which
oval buttons Of cahochon topaz are set
The buttons are seWed close together and
are set in narrow rims of gold
Wooden buttons are among the show
case contents that get a great deal of in
terested attention from. the shoppers.
Some of them are very small but beauti-
fully carved. and come very naturally
from Switzerland. Another type of wood
en- button is decorated first with the pvro-
graphic needle and then artistically col
ored. Wooden buttons are. of course but
a fancy of the flying day. and yet they
are delightfully."- ornamental when used on
the brown grass linen gowns and shirt
waists. MARY DEAN
