Woman is held responsible for the
origin OF dress. besides all the ex-
travagances which have come down
10 us through the ages since that not
able episode Of the apple in the Gar
den of Eden. No douJt she did pro
pose the first essential of clothes. but

giving her very little peace in the
way Of an established. enduring mode
which would save her anxiety as to
the relative fashionable merits OF her
wardrobe. In the Eastern shops shirt
waists are not the only things which
are made up for summer wear. for al
ready we see new dimities. lawns and
silk muslins, all made up as If for
midsummer.
Valenciennes lace seems to be very
much used for trimming this advanced
of the season. This can be accom-
the colored lawn skirts are striped all
around in vertical colors from the
waist to the ruffles. which are edged
with lace.
One feature in materials for thin
gowns is the embroidered. corded and
broche Swisses. which are TO be quite
as popular this season as last.
Foulard gowns. too. are made early
in the spring. and by observing few
special points il is safe to expect they
will not be out of style when the new
modes come.
Broad shoulder collars of lace, or
the material like the dress. help to
give the long shoulder effect which is
promised as one of the leading effects
of the season. This can be accom-
plished with a yoke il 1t Is arranged
10 extend little over the sleeve. "
your foulard gown is well made with
the right outlines for the mode which
prevails now. it will be up-to-date suf-
ficlently for all purposes three months
hence. and the woman who already
has one or two of these new gowns is
concentrating herself on her fore

A new shade of red. which is some
thing between a red and rose color.
Is charmingly brought out in the new
satin foulsrds. This. with the varying
shades of blue. will head the list OF
popular colors to be seen later on
skirts are TO be tucked and plated
as much as ever. Tucked hip yokes
beginning at either side of a tablier
front form one style of skirt. while an
other Is tucked closely all the way
around the hips, the space between
the tueks widening toward the hem,
where there are more tucks in baga-
dere lines.
one of the pretty new fancy waists
is made OF white chiffon over white
silk and partially covered by bolero
and short upper sleeve of Irish lace.
The belt and collar band are formed
OF silver braid and black taffeta rib

BLACK and black and white effects
are TO be quite as dominant as ever
in the spring fashions. and certainly
nothing can be much more useful and
appropriate for greater variety OF
purposes. Especially Is this true OF
the extreme examples represented by
a well made tailor gown and dressy
evening costume. With these two
gowns and some fancy waists wo-
man is fairly well equipped for the ]
ordinary exigencies of dress.
