In some of the shops there are pretty
South American jars and baskets made Of
green or brown tree fibre. The shapes are
quaint and odd. and the decoration is BIZ
zarre to the last degree, but very artis-

A lovely garden hat is in satin straw
with an openwork effect. Great holes ap-

shape of figures caught together by 4

! For summer cotton frocks, one and all
| will employ embroidery-not embroidery
I bought by the yard. but embroidery made
/ of the material of the froek itself In
! some instances this resembles Hamburg
embroidery, but the patterns are of a
more open nature. Embroidery Anglaise
is what this new trimming is styled. AS
a rule cotton dresses are-or should be-
/ inexpensive but IL madame or ma
demoisele wishes to have all her summer
1 clothes decorated in this wise, and hires
all such work to be done, her season S
/ wardrobe will by no means signify small
4 outlay of money. Many nimble fingered
French women will fashion great part
/ of this trimming themselves. for it is cas-
+ lily learned and is said to work fast.
! This embroidery is appearing in white
and black taffetas. as garniture for taft
1 feta dresses. AS founeing, the taffeta
embroidery is admirable on silk petticoats,
and wears much better than lace. Linen
/ trimmings on cloth gowns are a great fea-
4 ture on some of the spring models the
linen either decoupe or embroidered in self
or contrasting colors in coarse fax thread.
| Even though many women acknowledge
the silk petticoat a sinful extravaganza,
they viii tell you in the very next breath
that they cannot do without one There
is certainly fortune in store for any one
who can invent substitute to take it's
place But so long as silk stays in i'm
porters will send us over novelties. The
last two French conceits up to present
date are the skeleton petticoat and the
divided skirt for pantalettes, which are
/ built on the same plan as the former.
In the skeleton skirt one has the same
voluminous silk ruffle on the bottom, but
/ the upper part of the skirt is cut into
strips, in order to entirely do away with
/ the possibility Of any fulness over the
hips. The divided skirt is made the same
+ way only that the whole thing is cut on
1 the plan of the pantalette. Then there is
the garter skirt which is nothing more
! than deep ruffle attached to a round
garter which the wearer slips above the
knee Each ruffle is individual in itself
requiring two of them to complete the
skirt.

| All of the new stocks are made in the
usual, regulation style, being in one
piece, hut the linen ones are peculiarly
adapted for coolness and the laundry.
They are made in all colors of linens, the
eo.ored ones being edged with narrow
piping of white, and the white ones edged
in colors. The prettiest ones are the pure
white edged in bright red. that is, the
smartest. Linen cheviots find favor, too
These stocks are worn either in the ascot
1 style, or simply folded across in front
and pinned, or in the neat bow at the
/ throat. The new ones for ascots are
+ rather longer than last season. The golf
girl will lay in large supply of the above
style; the more severe and conventional
/ they are the better.
Your smart spring suit of mode-colcred
/ etamine has the little jacket set off by a
row of Russian buttons These are quite
large, the size of half-dollar, and almost
as fiat, there being a slight rounding out
in the centre of the circle. The buttons
are coated with pure white Russian
enamel, handsome and durable as that
seen on the superb enameled spoon
/ handles and sugar bowls which form part
| Of the family silver in some prince.y Mus
covite establishments.

Matrons return their friends visits or
make first call in visiting wraps almost
covered with lace. Sometimes the visite
is of lace, cut TO openwork over a silk
foundation. OFTEN the wrap is composed
Of founces Of lace. Black ehantll-y is the
favorite web. Motifs or meGallfons Of
this lace, edge lace and insertions are
! happily combined in some of the dis
tinguished garments.
Mitts made of Greek nets are embroid-
cred with silk or Jet or coiored beads. and
even gold, silver or steel At the wrist
they are drawn in by narrow ribbons
Mitts are already in use for evening wear
and will be popular for street wear later
