universal, either pliable or stiff and
there are some examples in black

be effective in bringing out the gay.

will lead by far and as If natures sup
ply on this order were insufficient
large blossoms are diminished to small
sized and arranged in thick bouquets
or garlands. Tiny roses set closely to-
gether are conspicuous and rose buds
of course lend themselves readily to
miniature adornmcnts. Some very
large, even mammoth, flowers are no
ticeable, but are not expected to be
much in demand. Champagne tints
are new in colorings, but of course
very trying and can be worn only by
persons Of very fresh compilations or
If otherwise, must be so relieved by
additions of more decided hucs as to

New Materials
as in millinery, Lord & Taylor give us
a forecast as to what will be and for
utility wear, a prosperous season Is
predicted for mohair, both plain and in
fancy weaves of dots and lace de-
signs. Tweeds will be in much de-
mand Also for those utility dresses
that are now a recognized necessity
and both when jauntily made up in
walking skirts and Jackets, will be inn
portant factors in woman's dress.
Semi-transparent materials on the
yelling order, will figure largely in
dress, either in plain or in fancy
wcaves among which are dots, boucle
threads and the ubiquitous lace pat
terms. Summer foulards in silk or sat
in finish are important, showing dots
on hair line stripes and taffetas will
likewise be in demand
Trimmings.
Embroidery Is conspicuous, either
done on the material, or in bands, the
latter being sometimes in moits joined
together and separable should oocos-
ion demand it. Braids are also in
great favor as garnitures and in black
or tasteful mixtures Of color, will do
very much TO adorn plain material
Gold braid will ba especially stylish
and just here 1t can be added that a
frequent mixture of gilt threads in
both passementerias and braids, is
very apparent. Fringes likewise are
to be very fashionable, particularly as
a completion to the deep yokes that
are a distinguishing feature in dress.
Lace is used in almost illimitable
quantities. Valenciennas leads, and
expensive gowns in sheer fabrics will
be we'll nigh as much in lace as in
fabric propeE
Jackets
run from short boleros and etons to
lengths that may be
either tight fitting or loose. Very
iaunty little boleros are lad in wide
box plaits with box plated elbow
sleeves and these win be a rejoicing

being in the line of finish and closing.
Yokes that extend over the shoulders
and epaulettes are prominent features.
Epaulette straps that reach to the
nuffs are new and embroidery is the
Inevitable finish
Skirts
are in general much fuller around the !
hips. but fullness is so confined by
closely laid plaits that the outlines do
not diher essentially FROM what has
been in vogue. The plaits. however |
are released at a point much higher
up than formerly, thus giving a hint !
1f greater skirt fullness than formerly. /
