WHAT WILL BE WORN IN SPRING
Linen Still Correct-Cheviots and Mad
 ras for Waists.

Linen will be the correct thing for
 smart waists and may be made in mum
 erous charming designs; on the plain white linens or piques. black stitching in rows is effective and also carries out details in designs in various color
 schemes; small plaits with edges stit-
 ched in black in irregular pattern will be decidedly popular.
 The new lightweight silk flannels will likewise prove in favor and valuable for both comfort and durability; the
 weave is as fine as silk, but generous amount of wool is introduced, giving it little more warmth;proving except ionally good for sea trip or outing pur-
 pose, for while there is comparatively
 no great warmth, yet the woll does re- sist the cool winds.
 The prettiest designs are in plaid stripes; one in particuluar was
 unique and striking, having a cream shade pattern, and another showed the
 plaid effect in a stripe probably two inches wide. The center box plaid had
 this stripe running horizontally with
 the contrast in white stitching yer tical and close.
 Cheviots and madras will be much sought after and are always stunning for mannish effects. For slender girl with we'll developed figure the single
 breasted cheviots with two breast pockets is a becoming model. This
 novel idea, although severe, is really
 more attractive (due to it's tailored simplicity and ft than any of the many fancy waists now worn. The very idea of the single breasted fasten- ing is in itself an attraction, and the at cid nar fhA
 'rakinsh" idea completely. With a waist of this kind nothing but the sew crest kind of stock would be in har- mony and white linen collar and small bow of either black or solid col
 ored silk is best fit.
 With the advent of the large bow in- troduced for the winter waist the spring suggestions will be on practic- ally the same lines. Bows of the same material or of a contrasting silk are made to accompany many of the new
 blouses and are strikingly becoming to the majority of faces, unless one has a very broad or plump face. But for the girl with the oval countenance and long neck their could be no more stun ming neckwear (and an added bit of neatness at the same time) than would
 be the latest "nouveau" design in turn over collar and cuff sets. These charm 1 ing accessories give a tone of refine
 ment to the wearer and distinction to the shirtwaist
 The belts are of washable fabric and should always be immaculate, the
 buckles are all adjustable with the eye lets handworked with very close but ton hole stitch, thus making their laundering an easy task. As a rule these buckles are of simple design, of gilt or pearl. in shapes oval. round and square. A very sensible and clever idea Was noticed in an innovation for the fasten- ing of pearl buttons of both the waist and link sets on the tailored waist.
 This new arrangement allows for the ready removal of all the buttons when sent to the laundry and there immed- fate adjustment upon return of the
 waist, thus enabling one to retain in tact the original buttons with their prey brilliancy.
 As a matter of fact these severe ~ N, their ntting accessories, are essentially for the tailored outfit or TOT day and outing wear when the coat is laid aside. So many of the younger set wear these mannish styles exclu-
 sively and are always exceedingly neat and attractive in their appearance.
