SUNBONNET REVIVAL,
It's Part Of Every Summer Girls
Wardrobe This Season,

From the New York Tribune.
The revival of sunbonnets which began
last year, is to be renewed this season. it
Is said, and many an engaging trifie of
frills and insertions and ribbons is being
got ready against the days when the sum-
mer girls active campaign begins. The
mannish girl has had her sway. For some
seasons past she held unquestioned sway
and the mems furnisher waxed rich on
the proceeds from her toggery Collars
cuffs, cuff links. ties, hats. waistcoats, hose
there were few of the accessories OF
mans attire she did not lay violent hands
on. But people have rather tired of the
athletic girl--the girl who was athletic and
nothing else, that Is. Good fellow as she
was, jolly men found her to golf and
ride with. she was chum, not queen of
their hearts. With her muscular arms
barred to the elbow, her tanned face and
towsled locks. she developed splendid
physique and an Astounding health, which
the up-to-date sunbonnet accentuated
charmingly. The sunbonnet lassie can
swim and golf and play basket ball, too,
just as she can dance and firt and play
bridge, but the grace and the daintiness
that seem so essentially feminine remain
hers.
The modern sunbonnet hardly belongs to
the same genus as the queer old Noah's
Arks of sunbonnets worn years ago by all
maids and matrons constructed out of
stout honest calico. and irreverently known
as ''pokes.' The primitive use of the sun
bonnet was to shade the eyes and preserve
the complexion. 1t did both so effectually
as to put the face of the wearer In a chronic
state of semi-eclipse. Nobody minded
much when it finally was laughed off the
stage and bundled into the attic, making
way for generations of toques, capotes and
hats of all kinds. If the sunbonnet girl is
skilled with her needle she buys a frame
and covers it herself With deft touch
here, pat there. a twist in another place,
she lays on the airy frills, the puffings and
shirrings. Then she puts spray of rose
buds at coquettish angle, and, finally two
dainty streamers, to be tied or left fiut-
tering at the sides, as the mood may die
tate.
For the tramp over the links or for long,
lazy hours on the sand the sunbonnet takes
another and hardly less seductive formal
white, of stuff called dimity, and so fash
Toned that the cover can be taken on and
off the frame 1t may even get drenched
with water and mud. and the very next day
reappear crisper. more beguiling than ever
Such bonnet lnis goes with almost
any gown-any type of face. And it is so
easy to make and so becoming, too. No
matter how the hair may be DONE" it
nestles down easily upon it. In fact. it is
quite satisfactory in every way.

for a Partisan belle who will take it to
your mllionafre's resort by the sea-New-
PORTS of the crash order of linen and
whitein color. The box-plaated skirt is
hung over a foundation of orange silk and
trimmed at the knee. where the plaits end
sertion, through which the yellow silk
lining shows very effectively. The waist
is draped with fichu folds in crash. and
the transparent yoke of lace is fastened
with gold buttons. The sleeves are rather
odd the lace cuff extending up the entire
inner seam of the sleeve, bouffant puff OF
linen making the outer portion.
No Shabby Hats.
We can all be fairly heroic about frocks
or tailor costumes but there is yet to be
no good reason why one should exist this
summer when the styles are so piquant, al
Turing and diverse as to be universally be-
coming and easy and cheap for the mex
perienced milliner to put together.
One of the newest shaped hats is mar
row and pointed, the sides turned up
sharply and tied across the crown. IL Is
a shape that is very becoming when the
hair is rather full at the sides. The abso-
lutely fiat round hat raised Off the mead
by wreath of roses and trimmed on the
outside with flowers or loops OF RIBBON Is
a great favorite. For this style OF nat
the heir is dressed low. The high arrange
ment is almost universal, but where the
low effect is attempted the locks are
punched in an empire knot of curls. III
you have to economize anywhere in the
matter of dress, let it not be in the hat
or corset as these are two very important
items of the spring wardrobe.

Every conceivable material is used-gun
metal, colored rhinestones, jet and anne
thysts. which are always popular in cross
designs on account of their appropriate
color Maltese crosses are seen and old
fashioned ones of ivory and carved wood.
Silver filigree is one of the REVEALS, and
another is on sale of old-fashioned onyx
set with pearls, which is a kind of jewelry
last in vogue during the centennial.
Another thing highly valued just now is
the yellow topaz in its original pale gold
setting A large. smoky topaz. which has
had no raiSon detre for many years has
suddenly made its poSsessor subject of
envy by being hung on chain of gun metal
and crystals. And some coral roses of fifty
years ago have made the clasp and pendant
for a chain of coral beads. pair of ear
rings in the shape of hoops in turquoise
blue enamel. set with pearls, have been
made over into beautiful lace pins and the
old-fashioned gold tassels are being eagerly
hunted out as pendants for the fine gold
chains.

The Spring Shoe.

A weII-known authority says 1.-THE ten
dency in spring footwear is toward higher
heels and narrower toes" The Cuban and
French heels will be the favorites, and the
masculine extension sole Is fast disappear
ing. In our shoes as in other things we are
turning our backs on the masculine styles.
Low cuts and Oxfords, palmer in line and
style, are to be just as much worn as ever,
and patent feathers, though undesirable for
summer. are quite the thing for spring.
Two and three-eyelet butchers will take the
place of last years colonial and will divide
honors with the new Gibson ties, which are
very fetching with their high heels and big
bows
For evening wear the slippers have fancy
coiored heels, many being of silver purple
and different colors to match the gowmsl
Sandals are also to be worn. not only In
doors and In the country, but upon city
streets To be sure, they are not the san
dals of ancient history, but have a modern
protection in the form of goring at the
side to prevent the introduction of dust and
dirt
They have been taken up by the smart
SET" and as hand work Is necessary to
their finish a certain .exclusiveness will be
theirs until the manufacturers catch on.

Just Matched Her Hair.

Dining at a cafe the other night was a
stunning looking woman fresh from the
hands of one OF the best couturieres. He
had almost matched her hair In the new
copper brown shade of her soft satin gown
yelled with tulle in exactly the same color
The skirt was very finely tucked from the
waist downward and trimmed near the hem
with quantities of little frils of tulle edged
with brown velvet baby ribbon. These
frills were arranged in separate groups with
wide band of soft satin between the
groups. The ubiquitous pelerine was once
more in evidence in this costume. Brown
tulle draped the shoulders with bordering
frills of the same while in the center was

tiny brown velvet bows The beauty's

reached in these affairs last summer when
they were ruinously dear but now they are
beyond the reach of every one, unless 1t be
some of your American women who really
support and indorse all the extortionate
prices and ideas of the French. Every color
and weave of linen Is employed In their
make up. and. of course, nothing save
heavy lace is used as trimming except in
the case of sheer linen lawn, when the thin
nest. daintiest. cobwebby kind Is de rigueur.
Lace this year has another novel charac-
teristic. 1t must suit the individual-that
Is. slight, fragile, petite woman must
never affect the coarse sort, which is the
exclusive property of the tall Gibsonesque
type.
1t Is all very funny and may to the I'M
initiated be thought much ado about
nothing" but when you really look into the
matter the philosophy is apparent, and IL
we all tabooed these fashion edicts what
would become of that blessed condition of
smartness?

OLD JEWELRY IN FASHION.
Lucky the Girl Whose Mother Has
Kept the Ornaments of Long Ago.


From the Chicago Tribune.
The revival Of old-fashioned jewelry is so
great as to make women mourn for any
heirlooms that they have ever parted with.
A heart-shaped pendant of Whitby jet,
bought the other day by Mrs. H. o. Stone
jr.. is the fac smile of those worn thirty
years ago. and an importer of this kind of
jewelry says that 1t is one of the standard
shapes in jet, of which there are few, en-
account of the difficulties of working the
material. AS he says, they have been max
ing them in Whitby ever since the Romans
first visited England and sent them home
for earrings it is pretty certain that moth
come back again.
The cross Is also jet perennial. and
crosses of all kinds become fashionable
every time there Is jet epoch
Whether it was the black beads or the
popularity of ecclesiastical things that
started the fashion lately, 1t Is certain that
they have been supplied in most cases from
the old jewel box. There are hardly any
to be found even now in the jewelry stores
except the little ones of plain gold and
silver which are always given as con-
firmation presents. For once, instead of
setting the fashion In such things. the jew
eler seems to have been taken unawareS,
and is only regretting that he cannot sup
ply the demand, which has had new i'm
petus since 'Du Barry and the cross worn
by Mrs. Carter.
OF late the ecclesiastical crosses have
been encroached upon, and that of the
bishop himself has been appropriated for a
secular dangler. At the church stores even
rosaries and crucihXes, in materials which
under the circumstances might be de-
scribed gorgeous, have been bought for
purely decorative purposes.
A, large enamel key is shown as pendant
among a new stock of foreign crosses.
which are of noticeably large size, some of
enamel being as much as four inches long.

A Habit to Be Avoided.

Attention is called to those essentially
feminine habits of putting pins In the
mouth or moistening pencil with the lips
A pin swallowed means only surgical
case, but the greater danger lies in the
contagion that may be lurking In the pin
itself Under the head Of the pin or in the
point of the pencil all kinds Of malignant
germs may be located which will be trans
mitted by the mouth quicker than any other
way. 1t hardly seems possible that any one
needs to be cautioned against holding
money between his lips, yet person can
scarcely go any distance on a street car
without noticing some one INDUCING In this
dangerous and filthy habit

Fruit for Children.

In general terms we might say that any
fruit which is in perfect condition and IN
season may be given to children, but 1t Is to
be remembered that such broad definition
must be qualified by the constitution and
digestion of each child. 1t is wise to teach
them to discard the seeds of apples, grapes,
pears oranges and raisins. Fruit should be
given them in moderation, even when it ap-
pears to agree perfectly. Such fruits as

Historic Jewels.

Among the many ropes of beautiful
pearls given to the Duchess of Marlbor-
ough by her millionaire father. Mr. Van
derbilt, are some which possess much his
toric interest. They were often worn by the
Inflated Marie Antoinette at a time when
she little dreamed of her own tragic end or
the ultimate destination of her jewels.
Hardly less famous the rubes worn at
the Delhi durbar by Mrs. Letter, Lady Cur
IONS mother. Four of these ma gnifcent
stones belonged to Princess Pauline Bona
parte and were constantly worn by her dur
ing the first empire, while the fifth Is re-
ported to be that which William III re-
ceived from Peter the Great when that
amazing parsonage worked as a boat
builder at Deptford. There is always some
thing which arrests our interest in the vicls-
STUDIES of famous Jewels. and their history
often contains much that is pathetic.

known to be produced on many persons by
Strawberries. Fruit in season is better
than that bought out of season. In the late
winter and early spring. when even apples
are scarce and expensive, use carefully
cooked dried fruits, such as prunes, figs,
apricots, dates, ETC. All dried fruits should
