Ali White Gowns Popular

All white gowns are so numerous it,
is only marvellous they can be made to
look so absolutely unlike. OF course
the difference in material accounts for
great deal, but Is not in itself sutf-
cient to produce so much contrast
The lace gowns have been described
so often and so minutely that they
need not be included in the pesent
category, save to say they are as fash
ionable as ever and most beautiful OF
all the white gowns. White wool
gowns are to be a feature Of the sum
mer. and are made both in severely
simple tailor styles as we'll as more
elaborate in design, and with trim
mings of lace and rare embroidery.
White serge-the smooth not the rough
weave-are exceedingly smart when
trimmed with heavy lace Of yellowish
tinge. A gown Of serge has deep
shaped yoke on the undersHrt, an at-
tached fiounce with broad band Of in
sertion. and the body of the waist is
of lace. The sleeves are tucked at the
TOP and have cuffs Of the lace, which is
of heavy Irish point. The effect Of the
gown is one of great simplicity and
daintiness. but to the initiated it shows
more--it is a most costly costume IL
the lace used be real.
A smart white mohair or brilliantine
costume is made with short gored
skirt. trimmed down each gore with a
stitched band Of white satin. The
Jacket is fitted in the back and has a
BASQUE which extends to the hips, and
the seams are outlined with the stitch
ed satin bands. In front there is a loose
waistcoat Of pale blue cloth with braid
ing of gold and black, and the fronts of
the Jacket are quite long and pointed.
Another white mohair is trimmed with
stitched bands of white cloth, and, odd
ly enough, the two materials form a
capital contrast This gown has a skirt
with attached fiounce and a three
quarter length coat, which is quite
elaborately trimmed with bias bands
OF the cloth and is altogether a more
fanciful style.
Embroidered muslins are now worn
In the house. but are on precisely the
same lines as will be the summer
frocks: indeed it is extremely difficult
at the moment TO decide between the
winter and summer gowns, for even
in midsummer a wrap with bands oi
fur is possible at any cool watering
place. while in winter the thinnest OF
lace and muslin frocks are worn in
the house and at the theatre. too, under
some warm wrap. Embroidered mus
lins are more fashionable at the mo-
ment than the lace trimmed, and the
handsomer the embroidery the smarter
the gown; hand work, be it understood
and OF the finest possible workman
ship.

Word AEIa SlssYes

The long sleeve on evening and ar
ternoon dresses usually begins at the
top with a fitted cap rounding over the
shoulder. This is made Of paillette
tulle. embroidered silk or lace, or any
trimming which is a feature OF that
particular gown. From this epaulet
affair there falls long pun or series
of smaller ones. gathered in at tho
wrist under a band Of the same ma
terial as the shoulder piece Moussel-
inc and lace or the soft crepes are best
adapted to this style. Sometimes the
inner seam OF the sleeve is left open,
permitting the pink flesh to show as
the soft mousseline folds 1utter back,
disclosing the prettily rounded arm.
But these full shoulder puffs are
really a new departure. and il remains
to be seen whether they will become
the vogue or not.

Something IIseiui TO Know

Lace boleros, embellshed with en-
broidery, hand-painting. jewels, or
spangles. are the accompaniments Of
some of the smartest new gowns for
reception or evening wear. Girdles
and stocks decorated to match are also
worn
Linen trimmings on cloth gowns are
a distinctive feature of the latest
models. The linen is in openwork de-
sign or embroidered in self or contrast
ing colors.
The shop" look of the ready-made
shirt waist of silk may be obliterated
by the addition OF some lace or appll-
que trimming iudiciously applied
With few exceptions the handsomest
OF the spring wraps and bodices are
adorned with collarettes. fchus, and
berthas OF lace or Mexican drawn work
in white or ecru.
FIowered delaine is an old favorite
now receiving fashionable recognition.
It is intended especially for young
girls gowns.
Ties of white or black satin finished
with lace ends are tied at the front in
a bow or four-in-hand and worn with
black or colored silk shirt waists.
Tiny rosettes Of narrow ribbon with
centres of rhinestones are used foi
garniture on skirts Of fluffy material
An effective trimming for a flannel
blouse is the band of embroidered linen
that has replaced the coarse lace OF
taffeta bands so long familiar.
Coronation red is one of the fascin-
ating colors for early spring, and, with
the singular perversity of republicans
American women will, no doubt, make
it the rage in their country. Green
too. will have a decided vogue during
the spring. Il is always more or less
worn early in the year because It is SO
bright and fresh looking.

REPUBLICANS PLAN
FOR RELIEF OF CUBA

Washington, March THE third
conference OF the Republican
members OK the house OF representa-.
tives to consider the question OF Gu.
ban tariff concessions was held last
night in the hall Of the house. MT.
Dalzell, OF Pennsylvania. supported
the Payne reciprocity plan in an ex.
tended speech The caucus finally ad.
journed until next Tuesday night,
without reaching an agreement.
Chairman Payne. OF the ways and
means committee, yesterday gave out
the following authorized statement in
connection with the discussion over
Cuban reciprocity:
II think the large majority OF the
Republicans have made up their
minds that we must do something for
Cuba. There are three propositions
presented which have this professed
end in view. The proposition Of Mr..
Norris. Of Minnesota, provides for an
increase in the tariff on sugar to the
outside world and a rebate on sugar
imports from Cuba Then there Isl
the proposition OF Mr. Tawney to vote
between S7,0O0,000 and $4,000, 900 d..
rectly into the Cuban treasury. and to
ask the Cuban government to dis
tribute about s1,0OO.OOO. according to
his figures, to native Cuban planters
a pure gift to the Cuban government.
Il hardly needs the opinion of a law
yer to say that such a procedure
would be unconstitutional. The third
proposition is that for a 20 per cent.
reduction Of duties. This would in.
jure no home industry.
"But I have every assurance that
the cabinet is not divided on this
question, nor has a majority OF the
house Republicans committed them.
selves either to the Morris. the Taw-
ney or the do-nothing policy The
proposition Of a 20 per cent. reduc-
tion II adopted will put of in my
judgment the annexation OF Cuba for
many years. She viii not come in un.
I'll her population is Americanized
from the States.n ----

WILL BUILD TUNNEL IN SECTIONS
Isaac BraddOck Says That the Task Is
a Simple One

In discussing the plans for the pro-
posed tunnel under the Delaware river
connecting Philadelphia with Camden,
Isaac Braddock, father Of the idea, sand
that it would be a comparatively sim
pie task 10 build the tunnel.
The sections" said Mr.. Braddock,
will be built OF steel and wood. They
Will be taken out on the river and low
cred by water ond then divers will go
down and place them They will last
for 300 years. and will not require any
great expense to keep going"
Mayne c. p. Parker. who is promot-
ing the Braddock idea. which is known
as the Philadelphia and Camden Tun-
mel Company, declined TO make public
any Of the plans of the concern. He de-
clared however, that IL was a serious
project.

NeckWear Question Paramount

Neckwear of every description is
to be one Of the leading clothes inter-
ests of the spring, and while furs are
still necessary on account of the
weather there are already number of
the new bOas and ruffs to be seen.
Long boas of feathers, chiffon, tulle,
lace or net are most charmingly be-
coming. and certainly do give finished
appearance to every costume Tha
lace trimmed liberty silk and chiffon
boas. made in full quillings. are most
attractive, and are to be had in all col
ors. as well as in the black or white, or
black and white. which is very fash
ionable
The cocks feather boas in the light
shades are considered very smart, al
though. of course. they are not at all
new: the ostrich feather ones are more
beautiful than ever: but in both the
light colors are preferred to the dark
this from an eminently practical
reason that the dark ones are 50 apt
to rub off on the white laces and waists
which are now so much the fashion
Marabout feather boas and capes, than
which there is nothing softer save
swansdown. are among the latest nov
elites. The capes are short ones. with
long. square tabs in front while the
are fiat. not round In black these are
becoming but are not so smart or ef-
fective as the white or light gray.
Light blue feather boas are even more
in demand than last year, on account
Of the craze for light blue hats which
has taken possession of the feminine
population, and the cocks feathers
are preferred to the ostrich in this
color The so-called cocks feather
boas are mixed with marabout. and
are far softer and more becoming than
when only the cocks feathers are used,
Silk boas made of the liberty silk in
the shape Of rose petals are most be-
coming and effective, but the handsOm-
est are expensive-not unnaturally, for
so much material is required, and also
on account Of the work. for these boas
must be carefully put together to look
well. "A rather eccentric but quite ef-
! fective style has the entire rose of
goodly size with yellow centre, and
quantities of these roses sewed close
! together form a most decorative bit
of neckwear too conspicuous for the
street. however. unless made in black.
