What the Styles Are Likely
to Be In the Coming
Spring.
SIMPLICITY MARKED
Long Shoulder Line Seen IN
Lat st Modes Frills and
Ruffles.

with the coming of the New Year
there is always more or less-and chiefly
lnore--of an expectancy as to what the
newer styles and fashions are going to be-
ana this although the ushering in Of the
new calendar really marks the between
season period, the time when the fash
ions Of the early winter are just being
assinilated and when the approved mo-
ment for the launching of the newer fab
ries, modes and ideas has not yet ar
rived
In the days of our grandmothers, and
of our mothers, too. for that matter,
there we're bus two, Or. at the outside,
three seasons recognized in the sartorial
year Bur now there are as many sea-
soas as there are months, and new IDEAS
are launched just as they occdr, for the
opportunity 10 exploit them is never lack
ing.
Anticipating the early spring de-
maad, Paris has sent over many
handsome gowns, and the sartorially
smart will not be slow to take
heed Of the many novel ideas and inno-
vations expressed in these frocks
The FIRST taing that strikes the observ-.
ant eye Of the girl who follows the fash
ions is that the outlines of AL the new
importation are markedly simple; and
while as we have already remarked,
these are Innovations, they are not suen
as to mar lie siklplicity of outline or 10
detfaet in the slightest from the .harmosss
OF the picture. Quite the contrary. The
newer modes conform more ciose.y -
the female form divine, as the poets
have it. The fit Of the bodice is TO be
markedly closer. The sirdle is daily
growing deeper, and is row feathernonad

out my approval the following resolution

December q, 1903, and certified to me

Resolved, That all proposals hereto
fore submitted to this Board on the first
day Of December. instant, for the oil
lighting and gas lighting of the streets
Of Jersey City, for the terra ending No
vafaber 80. 1904, be and are hereby re-
jccted. for the reason that in the judg-
inent Of the Board better terms for the
city can be secured. and that the Clerk
be directed to re-advertise for proposals
for such gas and oil lighting for the term
Indicated
"Nly reasons for Withholding my ap-
prova of this res Jon are as follows:
For the first time in many years, in
response to your advertisements for light
ing the streets you have received COM
petitive bids. The Public Service Cor
poratlon. hitherto ssupposed to hare a
monopoly Of this business, bid $1,000 per
lamp, aud the American Lighting Com
pany bid 81. 90 per lamp. The latter
company has no gas plant. but proposes
to carry ont its contract, if awarded il,
IN the following manner:-It appears that
the city owns the gas lamp posts On the
streets. and that the gas company installs
the lamps, supplies the gas, and by an
arrangement with the Welsbach Com
papy. installs the burners or mantles
which form the medium Of the lights.
The American Lighting Company are the
owners Of new mantle or burner which
they claim produces light superior to
the Welshaeh mantle with less con-
sumption Of gas. They propose 10 install
their lamps and mantles upon the lamp

ing them at all times ii the first fight Of
the fashion.
And as for the new skirts, the first
thing one observes is that they are dis
tinetly wider than they have been for
many seasons past. Plaitings, shirrings,
broad double box plaits, in short, every
thing that can be deftly manipulated TO
increase the width of the skirt without
increasing the size of the hips or in any
way giving the figure bulky appearance,
are to be in high favor.
Paris has always made an ideal Of the
tall, slender figure. and, indeed, for the
girl Of that build are all of the most ex-
ouisite styles designed; but the clever
girl will find no difficulty in adapting
these to her own measure One smart
model which is bouAd to attract attention
Of the right kind is fashioned of very
short and fine sicilienne with a silky,
lustrous surface An elaborate Maltese
lace is spangled with tiny gilt and silver
paillettes, and this is arranged in hands
kerchief fasion for a yolk and bertha,
Here the shoulder seam is eliminated al
together, the yoke being cut IN one piece
and extending well down over the curve
of the arm. The sleeve is tucked to form
a fitted upper portion, and the tucks are
let out to make the elbow puff, this be ng
caught into deep mitaine cuff of the
spangled lace. The novelty in the cah is
that it extends over the iaad and is cut
With cute little thumb piece, 81 that all
The effect of a lace mitt is sai-led in one
with the sleeye--a very eisver idea, in
deed
The skirt is strikingly different from
the current models in that it is built in
several sections. The very different
hip-yoke effect is attained by means of
| shirred puff, this being stitched down to
the perfeetiy1ftted lining. From there
down the skirt consists of a series Of
LOUNGES, the upper portion of each being
tucked vertically into the straight edge
of the preceding founce. double row OF
crosswise tucks concealing the joining. A
very graceful line is made BY having the
hounces applied in apron fashion -that
| is, with a slight dip in front and cor
responding lift in the back, this obviating
the cutoff effect which pertains at times
TO hounced models.
Another frcck which shows the ex-
tremely wide skirt has graduated box
pialts. narrow ones, 50 pressed nat that
the eject is almost that OF sun-piaiting
