F1ouncings on skirts are to be the
dominant feature of spring and sum-
mer gowns in thin materials for house
plated, shirred or gathered at the waist
| Will have from two to half a dozen
/ fiounces straight or shaped to add to
their VoluninouSneSs at the foot. Two
and three hounced skirts viii be worn
and for grace of line nothing eXcelS
| them.
For young women all tulle and
maline dancing frocks f1ower-trimmed
are the most fashionable at the south
ern resorts where the first indications
of spring and summer modes are seen.
They are as enhancing as they are
perishable, it being impossible to wear
such gown more than twice under the
most favorable circumstances.
A fresh apple green is in vogue in
New York and hats of this material in
maline and covered with yellow and
purple violets are among the season s
mOdiSh millinery creations. The new
printed nets and organizes show the
enormous floral patterns which are
another 1880 revival. Made with the
full skirts, sloping shoulders, shawls
and fichus of the moments mode they
are quaint, picturesque and fascinating.
Big punches of roses, lilies, lilacs,
| hydrangeas and violets in shadowy
| tones are scattered over the surfaces
of these materials and the convention
| alize wreath is also a faVorite pat
tern.
Colored laces which have been worn
for a year continue popular and will be
| much used for nets and mousselines all
| summer. The new laces are lighter
and more cobwebby than those worn
| last season.
But embroideries are also good. All
the fashionable Topeka shops show ex-
quisite qualities and patterns. Knee
| houncingS and narrower widths, all
over for yokes and berthas and inser-
| lions come in matched sets. Colored
. | embrOi6RTiPS tn ha q gain this
year. One of the Kansas avenue
shops has some chic patterns in coarse
linen insertions embroidered in pale
| blue, navy red and Persian designs.
Cross stitch embroideries will embel-
fish the linen and canvas tub suits
| which will soon be Seasonable. A good
model being made for a Topeka girl
is of dark blue linen canvas trimmed
with bands of the same material in
linen color with cross stitch embroid-
cry in dark blue. The bodice has a
Il deep round yoke edged with two bands
of the embroidered canvas, short,
graduated straps extending from the
! lower one down the front and back CT
the waist which is laid in inchwide
tucks below the yoke, the straps trim
ming alternating tucks.
The yoke trimming extends out over the
sleeves, which have narrow band cuffs to
match. The skirt has a rounded yoke
trimmed to correspond with the yoke of
the bodice with two bands and short.
horizontal, graduated straps extending
from the lower one. Below the yoke the
skirt is laid in inverted box plaitS and a
short strap fastened at either end with
a canvas covered button finishes each
plat near the hem. Like all the sea-
sons tub suits the skirt escapes the
ground all around and is considerably
shorter in the back.
White and black lace skirts to be worn
with separate bodices and different col
ored slips are a recent addition to the
fashionable wardrobe The separate lace
waists have been good for some time, but
are now rather passe and the delightful
qualities of the lace skirt with dainty
lingerie waists has been discovered.
chiffon drop skirt and a chiffon slip
waist improve the effect. Flowered or
CANDIES are worn under the all-lace
gowns and the effect is said to be charm
ing.
To return to the embroideries, a beauti-
full, fine sheer, white batiSte or swiss
gown, deliberately trimmed with exquisite
embroidery, will be in the wardrobe of
every Well-gowned woman this summer.
1t is always a good idea, especially for
lOW-necked for evening wear for each
skirt. A similar but effective model has
a full skirt shirred in several rows at the
top to form a round yoke and again half
way between the hips and the knees,
where it is finished with wide graduated
embroidered fiounce. The high-necked
bodice of the all-over embroidery and the
low-necked bodice is trimmed with the
insertion and the narrow hOuncing.
Men of keen spiritual vision are look
ing for some significant occurrence in
the spiritual world. Some think it will
be combination of forces that will
greatly advance the kingdom of Cod
