with a costume of tobacco brown, the skirt
of which was plain and the coat somewhat
elaborate. The distinctive note was given
by revers and collar faced with moss green
velvet and the whole coat was lined with
the same color. The belt, a modsh affair
of light brown kid stitched with green,
completed very smart ensemble. A brown
tulle toque covered with touches of green
was the accompanying headgear.

The boleros are small and come to a de-
cided point in the back. Some of them give
| the effect of wings, as they are Joined at
only one point. They will be worn with
wolfe and other summer cloths as we'll as
with the silks.
Braid and Cord Laces.
Some beautiful collarettes and pelerfnes
are made from silk braids and cord woven
into lace patterns. One shows a straight
band of white satin studded with silk GRO
cheted buttons. To this is attached points
evolved from silk cord sewn into a lace pat
tern. The finish Is cord trimming in three
rows, which drapes in semicircles from
point to point At the front the strip or
band of white satin and second band OF
the same width. formed of the silk cord IN
the lace pattern, come down to a sharp
point, each being finished with silken ire
foil, to which a triple cord ornament is at
tached The cord trimming is merely a sue
cession of crocheted silk balls, strung on a
narrow silk cord, but the effect is rich and
striking. The collarette would combine well
with an all-lace bodice in Irish crochet or
cluny.
Another collarette with the ball and cord
trimming is of Persian bands, alternating
with a fiat, heavy braid of the same width
The embroidery shows dull pinks blue and
gold. The trimming is of the white ball and
cord ornaments, with a gilt ball introduced
at regular intervals.
A pelerine of Irish lace recently imported
for June bride shows deep points Those
on the shoulder drop almost to the elbow
These points form line where they join
and outline the bust and shoulder like a
bertha. Here are set paudaloques of
white silk cord, which fall almost as far as
the lace points. This will be worn with a
gown of white wolfe.
For sage green wolfe there comes a gor-
geous stole of Persian embroidery, repro
ducing the shade of green shown in the
cloth and delicate rose with silver. The
stole not only outlines the throat and forms
the usual straight front effect but two
pieces run out from the collar on the Shout
sleeve, ending in a silk ornament. This af-
fords the one dash of color in the costume.
A Stunning Bertha.
From pelerines to berthas is but a STEP
Among the stunning berthas at after
lenten function was one of point d AIencon
caught with motifs of pearls, something
after the shape of buckles.
A beautiful fichu, which may be worn
with a simple costume and give 1t dainty
finish without the effect of overtrimming
is of white mousseline de soe with polka
dots of black velvet. The ends are long and
come to points, shaped like those of
handkerchief gathered in the middle.
All-lace flchus are the SmarteSt of all.
Next to them come organizes. some of them
painted in the most Elusive coiorings. The
girl who attempts this feat with her own
deft hands must remember that the flowers,
bow-knots or whatever pattern she may
lect, must not stand out distinctly but
blend into the organdie as If seen through
a faint mist.

Word comes from Paris-and in the mat
ter of clothes. Paris can do no wrong-that
the woman who makes any pretense to be-
ing up to date will count her collars, col
larettes, boleros and pelerines by the dozen
this season. Every one who promenades
the French boulevard in spring attire
sports the pelerine effect modified or ex-
aggerated, according to the fancy Of its
wearer.
Lace, which predominates in the manu-
facture of these dainty accessories of the
toilet, is simulated in various materials.
Happy the young woman who can bring
forth from the family cedar chest a bertha
of duchesse lace, pelerine or fichu of
Chantilly, or a threecornered shawl of
Irish point or guipure. Among the newer
laceS which are exceedingly popular for
collars and pelerines is the Paraguay lace,
with it's delicate wheel patterns suggestive
OF drawn work. This is often combined
with a heavier lace like guipure or Ara
bian. If used alone it must be worn with
a heavy delicate fabric.
A noticeable feature connected with the
renaissance of the pelerine is the absence
of violent contrasts. For instance white
lace Is not worn with dark costumes for
the street, but with the most delicate of
spring colorings, such as pale gray, ecru,

An Artistic Example.
A stunning imported costume displays
the artistic use of the pelerine. The ma
teria1 is lusterless pongee in the natural
tint The skirt yoke is outlined with bands
of silk braid in exquisite shade of wood
color and brown. The seams of the cores
form inverted pleats and the flare at the
foot Is headed by ornaments formed of the
silk braid. The bodice is simply finished
with inverted pleats, corded with the
silk braid. The pelerine shows skilIful
combinations Of the natural pongee tint
with the various shades of wood color and
brown in the braid trimming. The founda-
ton of the pelerine is embroidered bands
in wood color and browns, which come to
a point and are finished with small tassels
of the same colorfng. Alternating with
embroidered bands is ecru lace insertion
A scant frill Of the same pattern finishes
the edge of the pelerine. with the silken

Hints About Gloves.

This is the proper way to treat a glove:
When you spy a tiny hole. mend it without
delay that 1t may not increase in size. Mend
1T on the inside of the glove with fine cotton
of the same color as the kid. Do not use
silk, for 1t soon wears out.
Never break off your cotton. but cut 1t.
so as not to draw your stitches too tightly
and make the seam hard and uneven.
When sewing a split in a finger seam, in
sert a finger into the glove and draw the
edges together so that they meet, and that
is all: a ridge would not only be uncom-
Portable, but would look unsightly.
When a glove is too small and Sits, it 10
worse than useless to sew up the rent. 1t
must be patched. The patch must be of kid
of the same color.

PARIS April ii. 1903.
The ateliers in the Rue de la Paix these
bright afternoons are crowded with fash
ionable gatherings of women, all upon
clothes intent. Madame is alert and wide
awake. as the models gowned in the most
stunning creations of Pacquin. Doucet and
the great artists are displayed for her
special pleasure. Beautiful as the cos
tunes shown prove to be, she has a sug-
gestion here. an Improvement there. which
produces just the note of her own per-
sonality which is the "be all' and lend

Between 8 and 6 in the afternoon we
see her. eXquisitely put up, taking a
brisk walk in the Bots to recover from

There is nothing new or epoch max

the history of most of the gowns we
are confronted by their contradictory ten

These contradictory tendencies and their
harmonious blendings are the distinguish

1t is certainly a fact, as evidenced by
the signs of the times that sloping Shout

Gowns are all voluminous fuffiness, but
every point of their loose foppiness is
studied, and one comes upon a high waist
belt or curved line quite unexpectedly de-
filming the graceful form beneath the multi
tude of folds.
The deliberately shirred and draped waists
all have underneath an exquiSitely cut,
tight-fitting boned slip, which is a support
for the loose and apparently careless folds
of the bodice.
From many of the fashion talks one
might gather the impression that the chic
Parisienne is mass of f1oppiness This
is certainly not the case. as the seasons
voluminous skirts and soft, falling Shout
der capes and sleeves create simple ele-
gance and grace eminently becoming for
wear at appropriate functions.

Rejane wore a dress on the stage the
other night which may serve as a model
for mothers who are at sea as to how their
daughters spring gowns shall be made.
1t was of fine white wolfe, with bodice
and skirt having plaits about half an inch
wide. A little distance above the hem of
the skirt was band of embroidered lawn.
The same embroidery formed a square en-
placement on the bodice, which bloused
slightly over a liberty satin waist ribbon.
The sleeves, plated like the bodice and
skirt, were caught into the wrist with a
narrow band of lawn. This is a charming
