One of the smartest gowns which will
be worn this spring by the new tailor girl
Is of fine broadcloth. As it is wooltex, it
will stand the toughest sort of wear, yet
be rich enough in appearance to use for
dressy occasions.
Sudden April showers have no terrors for
the April girl in a woolteX gown. for she
knows that not a rafndrop will leave its
mark to cloud the freshness of her Easter
frockS.
This especial gown is becoming to both

the fiaring black lace hat designed for Il.
And where the larger. well-proportionel
girl wishes her tailor suit plated. she so
takes thought that the plaits shall make
her dress stylish yet not add one inch 20
her stature-in circumference.
A plated suit in a combination of green
and white illustrates how effectively the
stout tailor girl manages her fashion whims.
The plaits in the skirt give height and are
tackled fiat as far down as the knee.
The fiat plaits in the blouse have a half
Gibson effect and the waist-skirt is pointed
so that it may not give an impression of
bulk at the hips.
The very novel collar and the cuffs are Of
tan broadcloth, featherboned, and then
featherstiched in green silk. The sleeves
are full. but the large girl knows that his
only makes the waist look slender. A
fancy tan straw braid hat is trimmed with
a single snow-white quill.
