performers to the city TO get them
at reduced salaries. they have been
busy explaining how II happened
They admit that there Is a great
over supply OF 10-cent histrionic
talent az the present time. but they
declare that IL has been brought
about by conditions without their
control They throw up their hands
helplessly and lay all the trouble
az the hands OF a series of mistakes
and the unprincipled manipulations
OF Sutton.

charmingly artistic and becoming neck
wear in use during the coming spring sea-
son. There will be some plain stocks,
others little more elaborate with lace or
passementerie ornamentation. fichus of all
kinds of lace, neck fixing of lace and EN-
broidered silks, with or without shoulder
coverings and some highly ornamental and
elaborate berthas matching the lace of the
neck piece and the cuffs. Bows OF silk.
satin, chiffon and silk crepe promise to be-
come highly popular in connection with the
various kinds of neck and shoulderwear
during the coming spring season. Soft
chouX, of maline or chiffon will also be
worm but they will be smaller and more
compact than was the style last season.
Ruchings in every conceivable color and
either plain or lace-edged will be used to
some extent and many lace collars have
the ruching already set in.
Some of the latest stocks shown here
have tabs or loops of the same material
held in place by fancy buttons instead of
the buckles which We're so fashionable dur
ing the last season. Some of the more
elaborate stocks are ornamented with
paiettes and irridescent beading in artistic
designs. Some are inserted with silk me-
dallions, embroidered in color or even
edged with fur. Fur-edged stocks are
quite appropriate to be worn with fur
trimmed costumes, which promise to hold
their own until hatcher late in the spring.
Some changes in TIE style of walking
suits are promised for spring and summer
wear Skirts will be shorter and laid IN
plaits of varying width. The same will
probably be true of the wooden cottons,
light woollens and linen for later spring
and summer. The skirted coats are. APP
parently going out of style. Short jackets,
either cut off at the waist line, or reach
ing just few inches below it, will be
worn.
Linen suits in pale blues, pinks, lavender
and ecru promise to be more popular than
ever during the coming season. Whites
will not be worn as extensively as last
year. but creams will hold their own.
Among the Swisses and dimities for the
coming season are some very pretty ones
with white grounds upon which are print
ed delicate patterns of sprigs and sprays
Large dotted materials. with dots in blue,
pink. yellow or lavender upon white
grounds or white dots upon a colored
ground will be used quite extensively.

THE NEW YORK
FASHION LETTER

NEW YORK Feb. S.-Mohair seems to
he unusually popular as a dress material
this season and the demand for all grades
is surprisingly great For some reason or
other there is rather scarcity of the
cheaper grades. However. large orders
have been placed with Europe6z manufac-
tuners and good supply of spring mohairs
will soon be displayed in the stores.
The remarkable demand for dress ma
terials OF cream color seems to continue
undated and there is every prospect that
1t will rather increase than decrease for
spring and summer wear, unless the sup
ply becomes exhausted before the summer
season begins.
The variety of colors which is displayed
by the importations of French dress goods
is perfectly bewlderng. All the princi.
pal colors are represented in the color card
which includes many new shades and var
leties. There are many colors of rather
outspoken and brilliant hue, but the gen
eral tendency seems to be toward broken
ana subdued tones, Judging from the
evidence of these samples imported re-
Gently there seems to be little doubt that
light and delicate tones will predominant
during the coming spring and summer sea
sons.
Some beautiful theater gowns have been
shown here lately. Silks. chiffons and
erepes are the favorite materials and the
colors run from white to cream or the
most delicate suggestions of color tints.
Laces are used extensively on hodices and
gowns. Spanges either very large or very
small are also used for decorative purposes
with great ingenuity. The round Dutch
neck seems to be great favorite for recep-
ton, theater and evening wear in general
Black gowns and hodices are not used
much for theater wear and only once in
great while bodice in black net decor
ated with spangles and jet, is seen.
Chiffon velvets in beautiful glossy black
are displayed in show windows and will
probably be in great demand All kinds
of velvet, particularly those of great soft
ness and pliablity, are all the rage lust
now, but not so much for theater. ball or
reception gowns as for outdoor use.
There will be a bewildering variety of

COLD BREATH FROM
THE SNOW COUNTRY

Tacoma was visited by sort of an imi-

that gave the inhabitants of this garden
spot something of a taste of what their
less fortunate neghhors in the East are
enjoying While it lasted the storm was
severe and called to mind the storm
which swept over this section in January
1902 On that date nearly four inches Of
snow fell and the wind blew from the
north at the rate OF 40 miles an hour.
Great damage was done along the water
front Wharves We're carried away and
lumber, drykilns and machinery precipi
tated into the Sound, Telegraph and
telephone lines were blown down and
traffic of all kinds tied up, Water pipes
all over town were frozen and plumbers
were kept busy many days repairing the
damage, Yesterdays storm did not do
such freak things.
