There are the voiles. IN nan new
weaves and colorings. it is true. but they
are voiles. nevertheless.
The silks. too. are rot radically different
from what the first Of the spring show
ings revealed to our expectant eyes. and
the Siciliennes and fancy crepe weaves are
all Of them pretty much the same as have
occupied the counters for many months.
But It Is in their manipulation and de-
velopment by the clever couturieres that
there is something vastly different from
what we rave seen before.
They may be, and indeed are. the same
materials. but in their fashioning they
have assumed a totally different aspect.
No longer does the skirt cling to and
reveal the lines of the figure. while the
corsage blouses so as almost to make
one forget that lovely woman has a
waistline.
Quite the contrary in the newer modes
the skirts are of the concealing rather
than the revealing kind. while for the first
time in many moons the girl who dons a
gown Of the latest style will become con-
scious that there are dainty and charm
ing curves to her figure. and that these
are above and around as wei! as below
her waistline.

picture gown.
A graphic example of this Is seen in a
gown which We might distinguish as a
Lohengrin gown. since the swan is made
a feature in the design of the handsome
lace which is appliaued on the lace OF the
robe.
Here the foundation of the gown Is the
new cameo lace in which the pattern is
raised boldly and stands out with cameo
like distinctness upon the background of
fine net.
This il mounted upon white chiffon. and
the silk foundation is in a soft shade of
pale yellow.

boned to the figure. and over this il a
ioose-fitting bolero of the lace. the elabor-
ate and serrated edge falling over a girdie

j. K. HACKETT'S MOTHER
IS His SEvEREST CRITIC.
She Never Misses a Performance in Which He Appears and Every
Detail of the Production Must Appeal to Her as Correct Be-
fore the Play Begins.

WRITTEN FOR TIE SUNDAY REPUBLIC
No more touching picture Of love and de
votion has ever been portrayed by novelist
or dramatist than is eEemplifed in Mrs.
Clara Hscliett's devotion 30 her son.
From the day James X Hackett went
to his first rehearsal fun of ambition 20
follow in his fathers footsteps. his mother
has not failed to be present at every re-
hearsal and every performance in which
he has participated. except FOR . few days
once when she was III and confined to her
home.
Mrs. Eackett's remarkable devotion has
been known for many years among the
member of her sons companies ard to
her intimate friends, but so carefully has
che kept herself in the background that
very few other persons have ever heard Of
the important part she has played in her
sons success. That no small share OF this
is due to her is an ~indisputable fact, for
Mr.. Hackett does nothing without con
sulting her. livery detail of costume and
scenery must be exactly right before 1t
passes her expert and critical eye.
Everyone knows that the elder Hacket.
was a great Falstaff. Since the elder
Eacketts death. which occurred when his
son was 2. yerrs old, Mrs. Hackett has
been guide. Philosopher and friend TO her
son. She firmly believes that everything
and anything her son does Is the right and
proper thin ID be done. To n person who
knows Mrs. Hackett it is much more in
teresting to sit near her and watch her
during the play than it is to watch the
stage. She arrives at the theater always
at least fifteen minutes before the curtain
rises and goes to her sons dressing-room
TO cast a final critical eye over his make
up and costume. A few minutes before
the curtain rises she returns TO the au-
ditorium. She watches the play closely.
but to one who knows her it can be seen
that her interest is perfunctory until Mr..
Hackett appears. when her whole de-

this IS admirably achieved in the deep
girdies. which are really and truly the
keynote of current fashions.
1t takes a clever hand. though. to ma
nipulate this feature of the gown so that
there is no hint whatsoever evident of
bulk OF material or OF clumsiness In its
fashioning.
1t Is at its happiest when combined with
some one or another Of the many mani
fes:ions OF the bolero. for with the rather
loose outline of this fascinating little gar
ment the trig and snug contour of the
waist when encircled by a cleverly con-
structed girdie comes on one with some
thing of a delightful surprise.
or course. We have heard from time to
time that the bolero had made absolute
ly its last appearance. for some time at
least. But like PATHS farewelis. each one
seems but to be the preliminary for a
series of further farewells. and. like Patti.
the bolero is still in evidence.
All OF the old-fashioned trimming &C
cessories. If one may so term them. are
to be seen in the new gowns. Frayed-out
silk ruchings made their bow in the late
autumn. and we're received rather doubt
fully at first.
As the styles developed. however. their
reception became more enthusiastic, and

and in contradlstinction to the prevailing
mode the sleeve is not so exaggeratedly
full.
The skirt IS snirred over cords around
the hips. falling in full outward folds
sweeping gracefully to the floor.
Halfway below the knee Il band OF the
swan-patterned lace In black is appliqued
all around the skirt, the design standing
ont beautifully upon the fine net of the
creamy background. and a scant portion
of this same lace is used on the corsage
across the bust. the sprays extending over
the shoulder line and down the arm.
The iva sweep of the gown is adj
roitly maintained by means of a shaped
strip OF princess haircloth in the drop
skirt. this affording 4 sure though very
pliahle support for the swirling masses of
lacy drapcry which fall at the foot and
gives not even a hint of stiffness or awk-
wa-dncss in its Use.
While the materials which will figure in
the new frocks now being designed for
wear at the May house parties-for those
social leaders who have handsome coun-
try houses. are following the English
mode and having house parties while the
country is all green and fresh. and be-
fore the droughts of summer have shriv-
eled its glories-these materials show lit
tie that Is new in themselves.
