THE POMPADOUR ROSE
From the New York Tribune:
The snowy. beautiful design of the
Pompadour rose is the motif in the
| color decorations of half the lovely new
| spring goods. 1t haunts over dress IA
| brics and upholstery. trails over para
soils and down springl1ke curtains. 1t
| is splashed in pale shadowy outline on
the soft mesh illusions, and stands out
| in brilliant Vividness on damask, linen
and corase crash.
For the stout woman or the small
room the Polnpadour rose is Winsome
| mockery and an alluring deception; no
matter how diaphanous the lawn or
| how graceful the null, splashes of rose
| twelve inches in diameter in lavish
! profusion of June kissed pink are bound
| to add to the bulk of a portly woman,
! and crowd tiny apartment until there
is no room left for friends or thought.
This fad is rightfully for the slender
girl and the spacious room, both of
which can stand decoration.
| All the newest gauzy >cottons show
the P0mpadour rose design. large. or
small. punched or single. 1t is beauti-
| full in the grasscloth organdies. the
! crystal crepes, the silk mousselines, with
silver stripes; dotted maline and cob

pears only with some sort of a. rose de-
sign, and it is; called Pompadour crepe.
! =. In. the spring ribbons there is per-
feet craze for Pompadour designs, not
| only with the famous POmpadour rose,
but with the old fashioned flowers of
every vivid and pale hue. The most ex-
| quisite of new ribbons show marvellous
light and dark shadows woven in about
the flowers, which make the blossoms
stand out like life, and give lialf yard
| of ribbon the appearance of a clever
! water color panel. And lot of girls
| paint their own sashes in Pompadour
effects, with the famous flower of
Nine. Pompadour or any favorite bios
| som.
| Combined with the Pompadour de-
sign. one often sees the shadowy effect
Of the pale outline of old tapestries,
and even the tiny square of the tapes

tapestry design is seen on ribbons and
| stuffs. and the huge wide open rose is
used more than any other flower.
Tn Pampadour gauzes and silks will
| be made up this summer over net,
rather than silk. All the soft stuffs
will be full in the skirt, the waists
have the dropping 1880 shoulders, and
plain and colored chiffon sashes will be
