NEW YORK FASHION LETTER:
BY ESTELLE CLAIREMONT
NEW YORK. Aprn sss.-rh. opening

I NEW YORK. April ses.-The opening
Of the spring season WIS by NO heans
suspicious. The weather was cold and
raw and consequently the display OF
spring fashions. in the customary East
er parade on Fifth Avenue was not as
gay and bewilderingly beautiful as in
former years. The weather continued
cold after Easter Sunday and 1t may
be said that the spring season this
year is from two to three weeks late.
As the spring season, even under the
most favorable weather conditions. is
never very long in this peculiar cli-
mate, this unexpected abbreviation SER
iously interferes with the usual parade
of spring styles on the fashionable
streets and avenues in the upper part
of the town. The wholesale merchants
in f1neries complain that they had a,
very poor spring season and that the
inclemency Of the weather is also caus-
ing falling off in the advance summer
; business.
There was a time w:len tailor made
suits were extremely plain, in material
fact, most Of them consisted merely Of
. tailor jacket and skirt from the plain
, est material, without any trimming.
Times have changed since then. Today
the tailor made suit is almost as dressy
and elaborate as any other and there is
no lack of trimming and ornamentation
Every imaginable material, from the
most expensive silk to homespuns and
. tweeds is used for those suits and near
~ every kind Of trimming in the line
OF passementerie and needlework is
employed. Recently reports have come
b from Paris, that the plain tailor-mades
are again coming In fashion, but 1t Is
old style will be accepted by the fash
ionable women on this side of the
ocean,
William A. Brady, manager of the

Grays Of all shades will be worn ex-
tensively this season and there is a new
shade among the darker grays, which
promises to become quite popular Gun

the avenues, it did not quite so much !
interfere with the display Of spring !
millinery. 1t must be admitted that !
never before was there more beauti- |
full and interesting variety Of styles |
shown than this year. There were, of
course. some that were conspicuous
merely by their unusual form or some
freakishness in their arrangement. But I,
the overwhelming majority of the hats
observable were handsome and tasteful. |
They had enough original features to
save them from being commonplace
and yet. were conservative enough in
their originality not to be freakish.
Quite remarkable is the large variety
known styles. from the finest and most
delicate chips to the coarsest barnyard
braids were represented in the display
and each seemed to have some feature
to commend it. Many Of the hats are
made of loosely plated or braided
straw and they are invariably used
with some colored lining, which peeps
through the open work of the straw.
Some very pretty effects are produced
thicker makes. like moss straw and
similar patterns. Leghorns have been
observed beside chips and all kinds of
fancy braids.
One must not imagine for a moment,
however, that stray is the exclusive
material from which spring hats are
made this year. There are some ex-
ceedingly handsome silk hats. skill
fully constructed of minute plaitings
quillings, shirrings or cordings, either
! in toque or turban form. or in any Of
the modern shapes. Tulle and chiffon
are also used with considerable sue
cess in the construction of hats. Hats
Of that material have been worn nearly
all winter, but now they are more num-
erous than ever. They are seen In light
and dark colors and promise to become
extremely popular.
Brown straws seem to be more in
and seem to have displaced to a con-
siderable degree the black hats. which
used to be SO popular in former years.
The shades Of brown, which color
seems to be greatly in favor range from
the lightest and most delicate cham
payne to the deepest chestnut brown.
Several hats of shaded brown tulle.
shirred and trimmed with fine lines of
straw, matching the darkest tint of the
tulle, were observed and proved highly
attractive and dressy.
Among the most conspicuous novel;
ties in the hat line displayed during
the Easter parade were some hats with
lace scarf and curtain effects. Some
of them were very becoming and artis-
tic in their arrangement and makeup,
while others were decidedly insists.
The arrangement OF the drapery was
stiff and clumsy and they offered no
mitigating feature to atone for their
conspicutty. Great care must be exer-
cised in the selection and arrangement
Of such hats, as the beauty Of the gen.
eral effect is too easily marred by the
slightest defect II the draping Is not
done artistically.a or IL the hat is not
worn by the right kind Of a woman, II
becomes a perfect carricature. It may
be said that there were some Of both
kinds to be seen in the Easter parade
on Fifth avenue. 81

The Lot Sale.

The lot sale of the Sherrod
tract just west of the Southern
railway shops occurred last
Monday afternoon. and was at
tended by a fair crowd. The
bidding was good, and there
were sold twelve lots, bringing
good average price. Those lots
adjacent to the Southern railway
tracks were irregular in shape
and were sold as prospective
manufacturing sites ranging in
price from 800 to $500 The
larger building lots brought
from 500 to $3.50. This prop
erty is very advantageously
located, being close To the vari-
Gus manufacturing industries
which are now in course o.
erection and also within easy
walking distance of the Indus
trial Institute and College and
the public school.
There is no city in the State
that is growing more rapidly
than is Colum bus, and the peo-
pie are evincing their confidence
in her future by investing
literally in real estate. A great
deal of money has already been
made in this manner, and the
demand for desirable property
seems to continue undated.

The Athletic Club.

The gymnasism outfit of the
Athletic Club has arrived and
has been placed in position at
Concert Hall, which building has
been leased by the organization
and will be used as a club house.
The stage and the old wooden
benches that formerly occupied
the second floor have been torn
away and the space heretofore
occupied there will be devoted
entirely to the gymnasium.
The outfit is complete in every
detail, embracing stationary
rings, a full set of swinging
rings, horizontal bars, a German
horse. a full set of dumb bells
and Indian clubs, and in fact
all paraphernal;a necessary to
the equipment of a first class
gymnasium.
The first meeting of the club
to be held in the new quarters
occurred Monday night was
presided over by President
Kaufman. The first business to
be taken up was election of a
director in place of Mr.. Joseph
Donoghue, who, the president
stated, would be unable to serve.
upon motion. Mr.. Louis Hirsh
man was unanimously elected
as director To succeed Mr..
Donoghue.
Upon motion the secretary
was instructed to have mem ber-
ship cards printed and distrib
uted among the members of the
organization. The question of
fixing the secretary s salary
came up, but Secretary Lin
coin stated that he was willing
to serve without pensation
until the club became more
firmly established and positively
refused to accept any salary for
the present. This generous
act on the part of Secretary
Lincoln was loudly applauded
and he was rendered a vote of
thanks by the club.
1t is the intention of the
organization to give a reception
or house warmingat an early
date, SO that the public may be
able to see how nicely the gym
nasium and club rooms are
fitted up.
