Attractive Summer Fabrics.

The choice in materials for cotton suits
this year is wide to an almost embarrass-
ing degree.
In addition to the regulation linens there
are the new basket-weave effects in this
fabric which are at once SO distinctive
and SO new.
y, These, like the close woven goods, come
in a variety Of gooa.shades, in addition to
the whites and creams.
There is an exceedingly pretty pale blue,
a deeper shade Of the same color, sug-
costing bluet. @ sE J. s-w
Some attractive rose pinks begin the
scale Of reds which terminates in tones
Of old rose or maroon.
The greens, too, varying from a pale
sage to a deep grass color, make up very
stylshly. 5.. ~.
The veilings or "voiles," even in cotton
grades, are almost as filmy as chiffon.
Plain weaves are z}favorites, but there
are several fancy patterns that are fash
ionable and attractive. A raised or boucle
treatment characterizes some Of these.
Cotton cheviot and coarse grades of
canvas or scrim are two other popular
suggestions. = =
The fancy weave n1ercerized grenadines
are something new; for warm weather
house gowns. -.
| These come with striped or drawnwork
patterns in all the pale tints, and have q
| soft gloss that is very pleasing.
They are made up over silk or-for
coolness' sake-over colored lawns.
Strongly resembling liberty satin comes
a satin called English"
1t is a delightful goods, with greater
body and less lustre than the liberty"
In the dark colors it is being made VI
in suits for informal wear, altho the more
| brilliant tones are sufficiently rich fol
elaborate evening costumes.
AS usual, many smart little shirtwais
suits will be made from taffeta in black
/ and colors. - .E..-

EASTER EGGS FOR A CZAR's FAMILY
A Court Jeweler Spends the Year Plan
Ming JeweIed TrlfIes to Be Given to the
Royal FamlIy-PrecIous Stones Hide
the Clever Mechanical Devices for the
Czarlna and Her Mother.

q NE Of the Russian court jewelers. de-
votes nearly all of his time to the in
venting and construction Of new devices
for the Wondrous eggs which the car de-
lights to give the members of his family
on Easter Day. Each one receives an
egg cut from some precious material and
mounted with the imperial crest set In
jewels and In those for the cZarina and her
mother-in-law some clever mechanical
device is sure to be secreted.
The Russians make more Of Easter,
perhaps, than the people Of any other
country, and the festival is celebrated not
only with all Of the pomp Of the Greek
church, but also in the homes where spe-
cial dishes grace the table and an Easter
greeting is on every tongue.
The czarina's collection Of Easter eggs
dates back to her marriage and includes
some wonderfully ingenious devices. One
year the egg held a complete model Of the
imperial train and SO perfectly was IT
constructed that the dining car was fur
nished and the 1kons and candles were in
| the chapel car. Another egg contained
| a beautiful miniature Of the car set with
diamonds and a third held the miniatures
OF the imperial children and was mounted
on a golden pedestal set with huge en-
erald. Each egg opened at the touch OF
a spring which was hidden by jewels.
| For his mother the car chose pictures
Of her favorite palaces in Russia and one
year he sent an artist to Denmark Il
paint q favorite view of her girlhoot
home. At another time an ebony mode
Of a favorite horse was concealed in the
egg.
The Grand Duchess vladimir's egg Il
sure to contain a ieweled animal, for {
collection Of these valuable trifes is he

all sorts Of neckgear made with especial
reference to their outdoor occupations,
and the tailor-made girl who goes in for
athletics of sorts is as fussy about her
stocks and her collars and her ties as
ever was her mother over jabots and lace.
The girl who rides wheel or plays golf
or tennis has offered to her serviceable
wash stocks, the Ascot being the favor
tie as a rule. These are made in plain
and figured materials, in white or colors.
The linen collar, which went almost en-
tirely out of use for a while, Is in again,
but now it Is usually In the form Of q
little turnover, embroidered or plain.
With this Is worn a silk or ribbon stock.
All that Is demanded of the neck gear
Is that 1t should be simple and service
able well as becoming. The cost Of the
stocks and collars and turnovers may be
great or small, as the girls purse permits
and her taste inclines. But she can look

MISS ROOsEVELTs CLEVER SAYINGS
The Presidents Daughter Is Quick at

Thing Of a FrIend-countess casslni and
Mrs. Potter Palmer Are Raising a Rus
Sian War Fund.

M ISIS ALICE ROOSEVELT has quick
NA brain and ninble, tongue, and her
clever sayings are frequently repeated in
washington. One Of her friends is the
Countess Marguerite Cassini, the bril-
liant and dashing niece of the Russian
ambassador, who Is exceedingly popular
among the younger Washington set.
The other day Miss Roosevelt heard
one Of the young men who. had just left
the countess exclaim in tones of the deep
est admiration: my, but she's charming!
She's a daisy!"
"Oh, yes, she's charming said Miss
Roosevelt. But you are wrong in your
floral comparison. She is not daisy;
she's marguerite -.,
The countess is busily making plans for
the big bazaar which will be given short
ly to raise funds for the Russian Red
cross war work. and she has already re-
ce1ved two checks, one for $500 and the
other for $1,000, from friends of her coun-

an outing costume that Is far
ahead Of that worn by the women
L. of any other nation.
The Englishwoman Ia devoted
to sport, but In the joy Of this she is SO
Needless of her appearance that her dress
is usually a synonym for dowdiness. The
FrenchWoman cares comparatively little
for outdoor sports, but she INDUCES in
them because one must keep up with the
times. Usefulness Of costume for such
occasions she sacrifices to beauty, and sets
out to play golf and tennis In high-heeled
shoes and unsuitable garb. But the
american girl goes at her outdoor pur-
suits in bustnesslike manner which
makes sensible dress necessary, and to
this adds a touch Of charm that gives
her costume a style Of its own.
There are very few lines Of athletic
exercise and wholesome sport that are
closed to the girl and woman Of to-day.
She cannot afford a suit for each one
of these and she must generally COM
promise on something that will serve for
all or nearly all Of them. The main part
OF the costume Is the skirt. Time was
when q fitted waist had to be made to
go with this. but even in horseback rid
ing now 1t Is permissible to wear a shirt
waist, and the chief attention can be ex-
pended upon the skirt. e.,
II the girl is rational she will econo-
xnize in some other ways and go to a good
tailor In search Of the skirt The per-
lection Of this will make or mar her ap-
pearance, and 1t Is a mistake to save here
in order to spend somewhere else

HER TESTIMONY
New York Sun.

A Methodist clergyman who Of
flciated in town last Sunday vouches
for this story. He has an interesting
5-year-old granddaughter. At prayer
meeting he asked the congregation
to rise and give personal testimony;
and he was agreeab1y surprised to
find his granddaughter among those
who gave experiences. She said:
''The Lord Is my shepherd. shall
not want"
At the parsonage later in the eve
ring the clergyman kissed his grand
child and said that the happiest mo-
ment of his life was when his darling
arose and shamed the older members
by giving her testimony. It was such
as she who made bad men good, he
added. The child listened attentively
to the eu1ogy. Then she said:
well, just had to do 1t. Didn't
want to stand there like a darn fool
and say nussen."

VI VIEW YORK, April 9.-Altho the
N separate shirt waist is no longer
| q considered as smart as a waist
a. made of the same material as the
skirt, still with the tailor suit any
cloth waist would be quite too warm for
spring or summer, SO the shirt waist still
remains in vogue. Not, however, the
comparatively simple waist formerly con-
sidered quite appropriate and smart
enough for almost any form of af-
ternoon wear. Now the waist should be
made to match exactly the color Of the
suit, but may be made up in chiffon, crepe
de Chine, taffeta, louisine or any light
weight material. If the suit be black or
some very dark shade, the waist may be
trimmed deliberately with white or ecru
lace; or, again, it may be quite simple,
with only bit of white at the neck and
wrists.
Accordian and side plated chiffon, Lib
erty silk and crepe de Chine waists will be
much worn again this spring, more, per-
haps, in chiffon and liberty silk, as the
crepe de Chine is apt to be rather warm
when SO much material is used. When the
waist is made in this way it is often left
quite plain, but again handsome lace COL
lar will make an effective trimming. The
collar and deep cuffs should be left I'M
lined and when small, transparent,
rounded or V shaped yoke Is let in at the
neck the effect is at once cool and be-
coming.
Lace and chiffon are now worked in to-
gether so cleverly as to give the appear
ance of open material, and can be made UP
into a delightfully."- cool and at the same
| time very effective waist. For this bodice
one must have a quantity of very wide
but light lace, as we'll as some narrow lace
edging and insertion matching it in pat

made of bands Of the chiffon and edgins

Novel Handling of Black and White.

Black and white as q combination for
gowns Is. by no means new, but from Paris
has come the edict that, far from being
banished, 1t shall be more popular than
ever. The arrangement is to be handled
in novel ways, however, and a model that
particularly well illustrates this is worn
by Miss Maud Hignet in "phe PITT
The frock is composed Of black lace ap-
plique on white chiffon, with the black
figures SO arranged that the white is sub
ordinate, tho showing in pattern. The
black and white blouse is brought into
the tiniest white chiffon bodice with lace
insertion edge, whivh in turn is belted
with narrow crush black satin. A guimpe
similar to the bodice relieves the face
from too much black, and a tiny black v
Is woven into the front Of the high white
collar.
The sleeves carry out the scheme Of the
gown, and the model is especially dis
tinctiVe.

Bits of FeminInity.

A very decided novelty in the hosiery
line is made Of net embroidered in iri-

Little quaint touches Of brown upon

One Of the newest laces is Point de

heavy indentations on wash blonde net.

to characterize this early spring season is
seen to advantage in cotton gowns
A dainty little collar Of white silk has
lace medallions inserted in its points and

the ingenuity of the dressmal1er, for it is

A very large use is being made Of velvet
as trimming, and velvet colored buttons
in all sizes find new applications In the
elaborate trimming schemes which prevail.
Ribbon velvet used in varying and grad

And speaking Of this brings to mind a

Like the running brook, the

The springs Of red blood are
found in the soft core Of the
bones called the marrow and
some say red blood also comes
from the spleen. Healthy bone
marrow and healthy spleen
are full of fat.
SCOTS Emulsion makes new
blood by feeding the bone
marrow and the spleen with
the richest of all fats, the pure
