The Pompadour rose promises to be
extensively used this spring for deco
It's use will be quite general and will
not be confined to the various kinds Of
dress materials. 1t will blossom on
dresses, parasols, ribbons and even on
upholstering fabrics and wall paper.
Many of the newest gauzy cottons show
the Pompadour rose pattern, large or
small. the roses arranged singly or in
punches. There is even new material
called Pompadour crepe, which comes
only in some sort of rose design.
The same POmpadOur roses appear
on silk ribbons and the workmanship in
some of the more expensive of these
ribbons is exquisite. The same de-
sign is used in upholstery goods. some
times combined with tapestry effects
and it is also showns in some charming
cretonnes and Chintzes and drapery
silks. The Pompadour patterns have
even invaded the realm of hosiery and
most of the new fancy stockings are
embroidered in the daintiest rose de-
signs.
One of the surprises of the coming
summer season is the temperance of
the olain linen collar That style of
collar and the wash stock, with which
go string or Ascot ties, are really the
only forms of neckwear suited to go
with tailor made shirtwaists. 1t is
true. that lace collars, with ribbons
or embroidery are more ornamental
and. perhaps, more becoming to many
women. but they surely do not har-

Laces of all kinds will be the ia
vorite material for trimmings this

of various kinds as just now. Rus
sian laces, point de venise. brugee and
Irish crotchet seem to be the leaders
in public favor and will probably be
used more than other kinds. Net top
laces will be used more than ever, and
there Will be a brisk demand for ORR

Inns. Nalenciennes and Point d'Alen-
cons. Embroideries will also play a
promiennt part this coming summer
and will be used extensively not only
on elaborate gowns for dress occasions
but also on simpler dresses for street
wear. Linen embroderies will continue
in favor in trimming linen skirts and
waists from the simplest 70 the most
elaborate. Some of the sets shown in
the shops. including collar. wristbands
and shoulder pieces, are very handsome
and ornamental.
Sashes seem destined to be exceed

Some beautiful and highly artistic

time. Stockings with dainty embroid-

for the temperance of hosiery in va

Something novel in the line of en-

new button effects, which seem to have
taken the fancy of tn women of fashion,
