RANCHES IN THE MODES.
Dress Accessories for the Spring Sea. son That Are High in Fem
 mine Favor.

some new collar and cuff sets are made of the increasingly fashionable eyelet embroidery, CT English cut work. A pretty set was made of fine pique, the collar being wide enough 10 droop over the shoulders and the cuffs are quite wide. They are scalloped and buttOnhole stitched. and the embroid- cry is very simple design, reports the New York Post.
 In hemstitched and drawnwerk linen sets the tendency is towards wide bands 10 lie flat over the collar and cuffs instead of being tucked in on a band. This kind of collar is trying. because 1t adds 10 the size of the neck, and thick throat is almost as unbeau- tiful as thick ankles The cuffs are very good and one is able 70 keep them fresh with less trouble than the other kind. The price of these sets is high CT than the others. necessarily. since double line of embroidery or drawn work is involved
 Linen collars are very much worn with tailor gowns The most fashion able of them are of the turnover styles 10 be worn with ribbons Hemstitch- ing, embroidered dots. and even bor- ders of hand embroidery are seen on stiff linen collars nowadays. once or twice going 10 the laundry usually fin ishes them, so they must be regarded as extravagant. Few eolored borders are worn al present
 Among dress accessories belts are a. ways important. The spring importa- tions include many wide belts, how ever. Some beautiful ones in soft. pli- able leather and charming colors are fooled on either edge with lines of gold They will undoubtedly be popular to wear with shirt waists Gold belts are shown. some of them so expensive that they are sold by the inch instead of by the yard. Linen belts with small gun-metal clasps will be worn as much this year as they were last. Tn fact. there seems to be little new in this regard
 If We are 10 judge by the quantity and the beauty of the sash ribbons of fered in the shops there is to be re- viyal of this fashion on an extensive scale. The old-fasnloned conception Of sash was 10 tie four or five yards of wide ribbon around the waist and loop ii in a bow That would be considered dOwdy sort of an affair in these days The sash is shaped girdle, whale boned or otherwise secured in front and having long ends tied or sewed in graceful loops and knots Lovely in- deed are the many designs of taffeta sash ribbons with floral patterns shad- owy and ind.stinct These chine weaves usually have border of satin in one of the principal c0lors used Some ex- quisite sash ribbons in gold and silver gauge have satin borders. ard a center design of flowers in faint pastel tones. These are charming with lace and oth- CT transparent gowns
 Soft, shimmery effects of color are much sought in all departments of dress. The device introduced last fall of putting one thin material over oth- CTS of different colors, thereby making rainbow effects, was not widely copied Neither will the shaded chiffon gowns il is predicted, be very popular Not even the exquisite shadow silks are ex- pected to attain any degree of popular ity The fact is, these effects are too pronounced One would become ex- cessively tired of gown SO invariable in it's appearance. Beades, they are too showy; no woman of moderate income likes to wear gown she knows every one who has seen it once will never fail to afterwards recognize t. The ombres in veilings will have run at the summer resorts. il is safe 10 say They will be attractive with white gowns and wide hats on the beach or the board walk.
