THE FASHIONS FOR SPRING.

Goats and skirts are now being made
If the same material, but they are no
topger fashioned upon lines of almost
geometric severity. The newest mate
'ial for these, and one that is rapidly
coming forward is crepe de Chine.
The Tpring coat may be made in any
one of three distinct shapes; one is the
short sack coat, loose and straight,
which was seen last season; another is
modified Russian blouse, somewhat
suggestive of the kimoni; third style
s plain, loose caot with cape.
From presenl indications, two note
worthy features of the new gowns are
kelly to prevail. The more important
3 the ever.increasing vogue of the
hort skirt. The other is the frequent
Sc of drapery across the front OF the
waist.
Too much Importance cannot be Civ
en- to the soft, sheer fabrics that lend
themselves so rapidly to the graceful
flo, ing lines of the seasons modes
The voies and veilings are, perhaps,
in highest favor. Bordered materials
in soft silk and cotton mixtures, sheer
cottons and linen canvas are among the
popular novelties. A CLINT of COLDS
introduced in everything. Gold braid,
buttons, cords, frogs and pendants are
some of the forms of this military dec.
grafton. Laces that are fine and fimy
are the choice of the moment. The col
ored cotton embroideries are among
the novelties. There are lingerie frills
and ruchings without number for the
sleeves and neck of the fashionable
gown, and buttons are conspicuous. -

PATENT EXHIBIT AT FAIR.
The United States Is TO Show Some
Interesting Models of Early
Inventions.

The exhibit of the United States Pat,
ent Office at the Worlds Fair will
show series of models designed to
represent ideas that have made epochs
In the industrial history of the world,
So far as possible, the first thing of
its kind in every line of human inven-
ton will be shown. For instance, Wis
itors will have an opportunity to see
the actual sewing machine which was
the first practical contrivance of its
kind ever constructed. 1t was patented
in 1876 by Elias Howe. Previously, in
1912, J. ]. Greenough had obtained a
patent for sewing machine, which
carried the cloth along automatically
having a needle with a hole in the mid
die. o.,
Equally interesting in its way is the
earliest typewriter, which was pat
ented by c. Thurber in 1912. The type
Keys are set around the periphery OF
horizontal brass wheel, and in or
der to print letter it;is merely neces-
sary TO punch one of the buttons
which causes the type to descend
through little tube and make mark
upon a slip Of white paper.
The exhibit will include model Of
the first cast-iron pillow, which was pat
ented by Charles Newbold in 1897, ant
the first screw propeller, which wa;
invented by Robert Hook in 1880.
The invention of the steamboat Ii

THE FAIR AT NIGHT.
Lights Of Changing Hues Will Flood
the st. Louis Picture.
Electric Effects nre Combined with
Other Ingenious COntrivRncesi in
Revealing Beauty of the
Worlds Fair In Her Robe
of Darkness.

The night effects of the Exposition
will be symphony in color. The ex-
hibit buildings will be bathed in pure
white light, which will bring out into
strong relief their beautiful outlines
and the richness of the tints and mural
paintings on their screen walls.
Chief Henry Rustin, who is head of
the department of electrical design, has
charge of this important feature. Act
ing In the same capacity at Omaha and
Buffalo, he set so high a standard
there that his effort to Guido it at
st. Louis is the supreme one Of his
life.
BY ingeniously contrived lights the
whole picture will be flooded at night
with changing hues. At one time the
scene will be harmony of violet,
changing into amber, emerald, crimson
and amethyst, running the whole
gamut of color combinations so skill
fully that the spectator hardly will be
conscious where one color leaves off
and the other begins. But through all
the changes OF colors thrown on the
buildings it will be possible for the
cascades to retain a distinctive tint.
Mercury vapor lamps are cleverly
concealed in the bases of the sculp-
ture, lining the sides of the cascades.
the rays being thrown from concealed
refeetors through small windows at
an angle that will not meet the vision
of spectators from any point of view.
In this light the waters of the CAS-
cades will have the appearance at one
time Of ghostly phosphorescent tor
rent, at another moment of floods of
opal gems and again of cataract Of
living flame.
Every source of the wonderful ka-
leidoscopic effects will be ingeniously
hidden. 1t will be possible to pick out
different parts of the hill and its
structures in different colors. Thus
while the hall in the center will be
a rose color, one arm Of the colon
made orange, the other violet and the
twin pavilions emerald, the whole
splendid effect will be attained without
confusion of colors.
The night effects on other parts of
the site have not been forgotten. An
electric fountain, that will be thing
of beauty and a riot of color, surpass-
ing anything of the kind ever designed,
will occupy point of vantage on the
grounds. The exhibit buildings at
night will appear to be giant cornices
of white light supported at the four
corners and the centers by immense
pavilons of light. The rest of the
facados will be so treated that their
massive columns will be silhouetted
against the screen walls which will
be banks of blazing white light.
