These seem to be the days OF bar
gains and sales Just now there is
neckwear sale, two or three anniversary
sales, and openings galore right here in
Washington, and a famous clothing
store has added 10 Itself a womans de-
partment; so that tie woman on bar
gain thoughts intent has but to saunter
forth ana make her purchases.
In one shop the prettiest little collars
turnovers, stocks and the thousand and
one varieties Of necl1wear worn may DO
had for 10 cents up. and these Decent
goods are worth more than double the
price. which speaks well for the higher
grades.
Another Of our large stores, which is
having its spring opening, has on view
some beautiful new materials. Pompa-
dour net, new this season. being white
brussels net with a running pattern OF
flowers and leaves all over 1t, the ground
being white and light shades. the flow
ers and leaves in natural colors, IS sold
for 81 a yard. This is just right for
evening gowns and waists.
Voiles and veilings are sold in this
same shop from 80 cents a yard up. and

UP
THE SPRING SUIT

Women with limited bank accounts,
and their name is legion. who have
long-skirted fall suits laid away until
such time as the flowers shall bloom in
the spring. need not be discouraged
when they read that tickle fashion has
taken II into her head to veer around
from three-quarter coats to extremely
short ones-indeed the Eton shape
The long. slim woman would better
leave her coat alone. but the general
woman Of tidy figure, neither too stout
nor too thin, will take her long coat TO
the tailor who does odd jobs for her
and have him cut the tails OF and fit
II over into a short Jacket or an Elton.
Then, II her skirt Is too long. or
trails, she should have that cut into a
round length skirt, which viii be the
thing 10 wear for shopping or business
in the coming spring. If she has grown
a trine too stout for her coat she may
have a vest Of cloth in some contrast
Ing color added. or mayhap one made
Of some fancy braid. galloon or passe-
mC nterie, for trimmings have returned
to our midst, and by these means her
old suit VIII appear like a new one
If perchance the suit Is all right eX-
cept for a few spots here and there and
a wrinkled appearance due to being
packed away in the cedar chest, she VIII
take the spots out carefully with ben
ziCe, being careful to use IL on the back
piszza OF away from danger of contact
with fire OF flame Of any kind, and then
hg taking her suit to the tailor to be
pressed she will have a trim looking
suit for the spring
ings. They will stand so much wear,
then they get tired and need short
rest. or perhaps some fresh air, little
tonic in the way OF brushing, cleansing
and a few stitches here ana there, and
they are ready to take up the cudgels
again for some time.

SMART PARIS
MOTOR MODES

In the realms of Madame Ia Mode, If
there is one form of apparel more than
another I'm which IL IS difficult TO dis
cover a novelty. 1t IS certainly I'm the
garments specially adapted to the pas
time Of motoring.
One of the very newest coats is made
OF soft leather with a Suede effect. in
reality ooza calf used with the inner
side turned outward. This is dyed in
the most exquisite tones Of color OF
which the French are masters, and, an
additional novelty, is adorned with ap-
pliques C beautifully painted and fooled
leather
To give a verbal sketch Of one eX-
ample. This leather. with its bloom
ike appearance. in a rich tone of We
netian red. appears in a three-quartcr
Semi-ntting coat
Across the bust and around the sleeve,
forming q combined yoke and epauIet
effect and taking the fashionable Vic
terian line. IS a strip OF leather ap-
plique In a design OF roses ana Inelr
leaves in the softest pastel shades. The
large rOIl-back cuffs are embellished
with the same elegant trimming, which
presents an entire innovation 10 the
mOdistiC world
Another coat in the same style, but
somewhat longer, is very effective The
skin is dyed beautiful mOrdore brown
and the deep lapel collar SHOWS an APP

brown leather on patent blue-red- The
full sleeves are drawn into a gauntleT
cuff treated in the same way.
Roth these coats are arranged with an
luuper part in zOuave shape, which Is
perfectly cut and gives an effect or
symmetry and siapeliness which sounds
stlrnoSt incompatible with so solid ma
tcrfaI as leather The longer coat has
the decp basque also shaped TO half
defnc the waist and then flows out
/ Real reindeer is built into a sumptuous

appears particularly applicable as a
I lining The inimitable shade OF the
natural leather makes this garment
| feast to the eyes, and desirable ele-
rance is again attained by means OF
| that most excellent zOUave cut.

gether honorable he would burn the let
ter after reading II. and # he happen
ed to be Mr. Right he would put It
avyav safe from curious eyes; but if he
Is Mr.. Wrong and the girl comes Of the
same family. of course he cares moth
ing either for her letters or for her.
Now, of course. man with a capital NJ
never betrays a girls confidence, but
unfortunately many Of those who go
about DISGUISED as men are but base
irnitatIons. and these are they who let
the letters written by unSOphiSticated
and misguided girls lie around careless
Iy. where he who runs may read. If he
is so disposed.
In one Of John Luther Longs charm
ing stories of Japanese life, the native
mother of a japanese girl, whose father
was English. often upbTaids her for her
white" traits. particularly that Of
wanting 70 be loved by some one, and
always desiring TO have that person
/ close to her
! Now that is the way with many girls.
/ To love and to be loved is a natural

Nowadays irs shirt waists. shirt
waists the whole year through They
arc just as essential 10 the winter girl
and tho spring girl as they are TO the
summer girl.
But. after all. IL is in the warm season
that the shirt waist blossoms and
blooms ia true Ioveliness.
An winter this garment has been
worn but the new materials for the
summer are distinctly different from. the
heavy vestings and piques that have
been in vogue.
The latest shirt waists are fluffy, fine
and farclful. They are dainty and fem
mime iu the extreme.
One Of the very newest ideas is TO
have your white SILK shirt waist en-
br0idered in a design IN white or colOrs
A very pretty one has Teneriffe wheels
OF white set IN a leaf-Hke design.
on the wheels are French knots Of any
desired shade. The turnover collar re-
peats the design.
Tiny perpendicular tucks, commencing
at the neck. are carried acress the
shoulder and down the sleeve. giving
the long shoulder line even 10 the shirt
waist
The long cut is another new feature.
II carries the turnover 20 match the
collar. Tiny pearl buttons are worn on
these shirt waists. and. indeed, on an
the new summer goods.
THE belt shows an open design in
heavy white silk. The white belts wiz
De WORN more than ever this summer.
They are very chic with the new ligla
summer shirt waists.

BUapo1afed and Dried Fruits

carefully washed. should be soaked
overnight for at least twelve or four
teen hours. IL should then be slowly
cooked for three or four hours in the

with "a silver or "a wooden spoon.
For cooking. a stoueware stcwing pot

any similar fruit cooked in this way

rich favor of the fresh fruit The

For afternoon calls and the comfort
able little chat over the teacups the
costume must be chic and dressy, with
out Eeiug too elaborate.
A very smart suit is the one shown
in the sketch II is Of brown wolfe over
a white taneta lining. 1t shows the
eton jacket so popular this spring. with
the inevitable deep lingerie frills in the
sleeves.
The coat is made with wide lapeIs
giving the broad shoulder effect, and
trimmed with lace medallions and mar
row straps Of brown silk. caught with
ruby buttons. In the front is a Persian
vest and the fun sleeves are gathered
with a band OF stitched silk above the
lace ruhles.
The skirt has a panel front and box
pleats at each side. The bottom is I'm
ished with four tucks Of graduated
depths With this suit is worn one Of
the new white pomDadour hats, with
a border of pink crush roses.
The costume OF the hostess is of blue
crepe de chine The wide collar is set
with medanions and insertion. The full
sleeves are entirely of lace, in which
are two clusters or tucks.
The skirt all the way down is in al
ternate clUsteres OF narrow and broad
tucks.
Crepe de chine, though it has been
so popular for over q year, shows no
signs of losing favor. Il IS such a
dainty material and lends itself so read
ilv to graceful flowing effects that il Will
NOT easily be abandoned
The thrifty woman has discovered, too.
that Il not only cleans admiral bly,, but
actually Iaunders. and comes from un-
