BIouse with Pointed Yoke.

Pointed yokes are eminently becom-
ing to the greater number of figures
and are to be noted on many of the
newest and smartest waists. This one
is cut In drop style and extends over
the shoulders to give the broad line of
the season. As illustrated the waist
is made of pale green chiffon louislne
with yoke of cream colored lace and
bands of pale green velvet held by
fancy stitches. but is well adapted to
washable fabrics and can be made
lined or unlncd ms may he preferred.
The long sleeves are full and graceful
and are much to he desired for every
day wear. but those of elbow length
are extremely graceful and somewhat
more drcssy when the blouse is de.
signed for dinner or evening use.
The blouse is made with the fitted
lining over which the full front. backs
and yoke are arranged. Both front
and backs are gathered at upper and
lower edges ana blouse bccomlngly
over the belt while the yoke is quite
separate. The sleeves are full at the
shoulders and are either gathered into

The ISiInona Craze.

Everything Japanese is now popu-
lar because of the interest Americans
take in the little nations war with
Russia. Consequently, the kimonas,
which were displaced by more artis-
tic styles of negligees, are again in
demand. Lawn, crepon, silk and alba
tross kimonas are seasonable. The
gorgeously lowered robes are no long
er countenanced by women of taste,
who have learned that the japanese
lady of good birth leaves such glaring
garments TO the geisha girl and her
sort, choosing for herself the most
delicate tints, harmoniously combined
and utterly lacking ostentatious deco
rauons and barbarlc ornaments.

That's the time to laugh at fate.

And strike up faster pace.
Get your gait, and keep your stride;
