Helpful Hints on What to Wear and
How to Wear II.
"A new sleeve has little horizontal
tucks that form a band down the out
side from shoulders to elbow.
The new embroidered galoons are
beautiful in coloring and design, as
are the applique embroidery trim
mings.
Stiff linen collars are destined to
be worn in the early spring. Silk pet
ticoats now match the gown instead
of being Of a contrasting or even a
harmonizing shade.
There is a new linen scattered
with small blossoms that will be very
smart this summer made up into the
useful shirt waist suit These linens,
which resemble old fashioned calico,
are very garish in coloring.
A girdle which would be lovely
worn with evening gowns Of any kind
is made Of folds of white satin ribbon,
alternating with folds Of gold braid
with a heavy twist of the braid at the
back, and the girdle fastened in front
with tiny white satin bows.
fuckers are to be In evidence on
great many spring dresses. AS

made, Of hand tucks and fine lace or
Of the combination Of heavy and light
laces that is one Of this springs inno-
vations.
- Heavy lace or batiste, or Swiss
embroidery motifs are extensively
used in combinations with Valencien-
mes upon many Of the fine lingerie
blouses. The shirt sleeve is in some
instances a trifle fuller at the arm
hole than it was formerly, and the
tucks down from the armhole have
disappeared. The regulation shirt cuff
with link buttons Is as much In evil
dence as ever. Handkerchief linen
and French batiste are the favorite
materials for foundations to the sheer
embroidered waists. Both do up like
iron."
One Of the most charming In the
seasons fashions Is the use of silk
bands edging ruffles of silk muslin that
trim evening frocks. An effective
frock recently worn at a small dinner
dance was of white mousseline de sole,
mounted over turquoise blue silk. The
skirt was trimmed with fiounces Of
wide valenciennes, with the points
falling into a straight band Of blue
velvet. The same idea with narrow
er lace and band made fichu ar
rangement around the low cut bodice,
and a wide sash Of the muslin was
edged with blue velvet.
Lingerie blouses are worn exten-
sively with tailored skirts and coats
| They take up little room and are al
most universally becoming. They are,
however, as expensive as the more
elaborate crepe and silk bodices and
great number Of them are necessary
They are cut on the lines Of those
worn last summer, but heavy laces
are used such as torchon, cluny and
guipure. The severely plain linen
blouse is considered the smartest
thing for morning wear. 1t Is either
tucked or laid In box plaits and ac-
companied by a severely plain stock.
Silver appears In all the most fash
ionable dresses and millinery, and
there is no denying how immeasurably

violet and silver, rose and silver, black
and silver are all delightful combina-
tions, whereas the Introduction OF gold
in the place Of the white metal would
at once result in garishness.
| The leg of mutton sleeve, or the
gigot, as the French fashion books de-
scribe it, is shown in many modifica-
tions and variations in the new blous-
es. Sometimes the part near the
shoulders Is cut far fuller than the
rest, and the plain portion begins at
the elbow, or even a trifie above 1t.
Far prettier, though, is the design
where tiny pinched tucks are run eith'
er side Of the single seam all the way
from wrist to shoulder, the tucks be-
ing but a couple Of inches long on
either side, thus giving mousquetaire
effect that is charming in the extreme,
and has the further merit Of being
easy to launder we'll.
Paris is preaching long skirts. but
American women cling persistently to
walking length, giving in only so far
as to bring out a new length that just
touches all around. The simpler OF
dresses, though, will cling to the pres
ent length-an inch to an inch and
half from the ground. The skirts Of
morning costumes will continue to be
cut short, and they will fit closely
about the hips, but they must flare
little below the line of the knee.
With the long coats are worn the
| round skirts, either toucninB OF just
freeing the ground. These skirts are
more becoming than the very short
ones unless a woman has pretty foot
and they are the only ones that can be
worn with the redingotes.

primrose yellow silk mousseline dc

the short sleeve and is used upon the
skirt. Three narrow lace frills run
about the skirt and about the line Of
the knee above a full founce Of NOUS
seline, and above them Is a deep lace
founce with a heading. This f1ounce
Is not allowed to flare, but Is drawn
down and held by little square bows
set on around the skirt so closely that
they form a continuous line.
