HUGHES AND RUFFs SEIZE FANCY
 OF WOMEN.

l The woman who wishes to be up-to-
 date must have ruching for a finish to
 the neck and sleeves of her gowns, and
 as many ruffs as she can afford. No 1 gown or wrap is considered complete | without touch of ruching some where.
 l Instead of a stiff white collar stocks are made of the waist materials. either l fagoted or plain, and a double fold of scrim. crepe de lisse or ruchiug added | to soften the effect As these ruchings ! come in every shade and quality, there use is IimiGess.
 i Combined with chiffon. ruching is made into ruffs the nuffiness Of which l is beWitching. Some of these rufls are made to fall nearly to tLe bottom Of the gown in cascades.
 1 Aiurs, too. are fashioned out of ruching and liberty silk or chiffon. One
 of the pretticst sets seen is made of white ruching with a double lace edge.
 The ruff is joined with lengthwise and alternate strips of ruching and white maraboUt fur. The huff is made like | wise and is circular in shape. It is fin ished with accordion plaited chiffon
 rufles. Another set is made of cross
 wise strips of white crepe de lisse and [ cl ltlI4ts IliliSIltl dl Allt tOSS NlNil tttE ! plaited liberty silk Tuffies.
 An occasional hat is seen covered entirely with ruching, and miiliners
 say that this foretells some Of the eff l fleets which will be seen in Easter chapeaus. Tie lat which was made to wear with the maraboUt muff and ruff described in the foregoing was an exquisite creation. toque shape and literally covered with white ruching. Around the brim was d row of white roses, edged with dainty white ruch- ing.
 An all red hat. made of red silk ruch ing, was worn with blue gown which
 had red ruching at the neck and sleev- es. An all black hat vas made of ruch- ing. as was also a cape with stole ends Wide black ruching with d lace edge
 was used to finish the cape and hung from the jacket sleeves over the hands. Some of the prettest ruchings are hemstitched; others are stitched twice or three times with white silk to give a richer effect. These are especially
 favored for use on children's coats and
 hats. Another dainty rUcbing is made
 deep in the back and graduates at the
 sides. IL is to be worn to give the
 Medici collar effect.
 Evening coats and wraps never ap- peared so fluffy as they do now Some
 of them are covered with row upon
 row Of ruching, which gives the effect
 of d pillow of lace. It is especially de-
 sirabe for use on crepe de chine. Ruching is also made into artistic
 hair ornaments, and gives pretty fin
 ish in the guise of ponpons to evening slippers. Some of the new flower fans are edged with ruching and when fold-
 ed look like lilies. Evening sashes are
 also likewise beautiied. Evening glov-
 es are shown buttoned up the arm,
 with an edging up the length of the fastening.
 Even the new golf jackets have an edging of green ruchiug around the
 neck and down the front to soften the general severe effect. Since the in novatOn. mOdistes declare that they
 will not be surprised at any use it may
 be put. They all agree that it is des-
 tined to play a still more important
 role in spring and summer millinery and goWning than it does now. This
 is foretold by the handsome textures
 and jeweled and beaded designs which are already being shown for gowns an1
 parasols. The revival of the Queen
 Elizabeth collar. which is prophesied will offer another medium for its use
 Tn the making of dressing table ar
 ticles it is particularly adaptable.
 Pretty handkerchiefs. and glove cases and pincushions are to be seen made of this beautiful material. Inexpensive curtains for the summer time can be obtained by using net edged with the
 popular trimmings, which comes in cheap grades-as well as in washable
 fabrics like scrim.
