 nine Show 1t.

l one need nave no rear lO lOIlON liiS models now shown. as they come with high authority to back them, and indi- cate very clearly the lines of the sea- sons fashions.
 | The pompadour craze seems to have | taken a firm hold on feminine fancy, and not alone for gowns is this the case, but on parasols, ribbons. scattered | on handkerchiefs, in coat Innings. paint | ed, embroidered, printed, woven and \ appIiqued, will be seen the huge, bril- | liant pompadour rose
 | Though every sort of rose is seen | from the great red cabbage down to pale yellow Scotch blossoms and deli cate single eglantine. it is the pompa- dour rose that leads the craZe-the large, ull-petaled, wide-open, deep red rose-vividly sumptuous and dec- orative to a degree.
 | A tinted background, with roses the same hue but deeper tone, is very beau- | tiful, especially if the flowers are shown with shadowy water color outline and in the tapestry stitch wave. It makes the whole fabric changing mass of color, with now and again a huge rose forming part of the beautiful confus- | ion.
 For ingenue gowns the thinnest silk l petal and transparent as a butterfly's wing-in white, and over the entire ground are scattered single sweetbrier roses, exquisitely realistic in color. with here and there q pale green leaf and thorny brown sweetbrier stalk.
 These rose muslins are made up over the palest rose chiffon in some simple. | old fashioned style, with baby waists and elbow sleeves and full skirts that look as though the summer wind from a rose garden had reached them.
 Then, too, there are pompadour pet ticoats and corset covers and pompa- dour wash ribbons to garnish the plain garments of simpler folk. The petit coats are usually in plain color. pale rose or blue, and the flowers are of lib erty ribbon covered with roses in red or pink. The corset cover is white, | with q small rose design, and encom- passed round about with the sweet Ob- servance Of a pompadour sash tied over the bust m a wide bow that is at once sachet and the understudy for a pad.
 And all sorts Of lowered muslins will be made up into nightgowns and pa jamas suits and empire chemises. And although ne pompadour cCs- tune may involve a check for several hundreds with it's hand-painted silk it. lusions, it's chiffon lining and real point lace. it can be accomplished for just few dollars in most genuinely artis- tic effects. A rose lawn for 15 cents a yard. a rose hat of point desprit lace and silk muslin roses a sash of pink ribbon, a pink lawn petticoat, and you have a pompadour girl. pretty and sim
 pie and ingenue a success of taste in stead of money and you feel the Amer
 ican girl may be as whimsical as she likes, with the ability to make so lovely a picture for little expense.
 Then, too, 1t is season of frills and flounces, and it is not astonishing to
 find pinking coming back to favor. Pinked rufties are on some of the latest
 taffeta models and pinked ruches are also used.
 Narrow ribbon or silk finely plaited
 and set on flat like the old-time knife
 plating, is among the revivals of the
 old modes, and another trimming for which Parisian makers show a fond ness is two-inch satin ribbon flutel ' and laid on flat with both edges caught
 down invisibly. so that the effect is that
 of a fiuted band trimming.
 , Upon the ubiquitous taffeta frock all
 of the above trimmings have their in nings, and tiounces wide and narrow . run riot. Valenciennes edges are much in demand for the light hued taffetas, and the beautiful batiste embroideries
 trim silk frocks as we'll as those made of lingerie.
 Often a taffcta skirt and one of the
 frivolous little taffeta coats in vogue are worn with dainty blouse of all-
 over batiste over batiste embroidery Or
 of batiste trimmed in the embroidery and made beautiful by handwork; or
 perhaps the blouse of the costume is of , some light lace, such as Chantilly,
 dyed to ma htcthe silk. but relieved near the throat with white or cream. Two very smart gowns for after , noon wear show one in the new. and l for the moment much loved shade, apricot yellow. Carried out in crepe
 de chine, the skirt is gauged in groups round the waist, whence it flows in Vic , torian fullness, and adorned with wide at least four inches widc-tucks, each tuck being fringed with fine killings and clear lawn. Large lawn frills droop from the sleeve, and there is : quite an important area of lawn vest incrusted with fine lace disclosed by the soft folds of the apricot crepe that
 pass over the shoulder in fchu form, , to be drawn into a quaint buckle just above the high-1itted belt.
 Equally attra active in it's own way is
 the gown of ivory white voile, which is , simply trimmed with tucks and broad , bands of very beautiful gold and white , embroidery of very Oriental character. in addition to which there are trans
 parent appliques of thick guipure lace. The bodice and sleeves are exceptional ly graceful in conception, and they are
 finished with braided ornaments of gold tinsel and hanging drops to corre-
 spond. and the waistband is of folded . gold gauge.
