while more come up to the general
standard of elaborateness. The little
pun with bands of narrow lace is a
very popular decoration. Pnffs are not
quite as easy to launder well as tucks,
for instance. Still, they are washable.
A Persian lawn gown for young girl
had a yoke and collar made or narrow
puffs and ValencienneS insertion ana
blouse waist trimmed across with three
ruffles finished with narrow lace edging
and headed with line of insertion.
The sleeves were also ruffied and end
ed at the elbow with a little cuh made
of insertion, with lace frill on each
side. The full skirt had five ruffies,
each headed with insertion, and hnlsfled
with lace edging-
Too many of the white muslins are
trimmed with lace. which does not
launder as well as Valenciennes. one
does not care to see Renaissance mo-
tives inset among null tucks. num-
Der of thin gowns are so decorated, as
are also many handkerchiefs and linen
blouses.
A fragile-looking, but very dainty
lingerie waist, with beautifully en-
brooidered front had a yoke of tiny
tucks in groups of five. Between the
groups were narrow strips of fine Brus-
selh net. The upper part of the sleeve
was embroidered to match the front,
the sleeve being finished with an elbow
cuff made of groups of tueks and strips
of the net. E<.s...s

linen preferably. After that madras,
dimity, and lawn. Very few II any
colored shirtwaists will be worn. unless
in wash silk or pongee. The best
models are severe, with plaits all the
way down, and are not allowed to
blouse the least bit. The shirtwaist
which shows the lines of the figure too
sharply is not recommended, and yet
the fit is not as lose as of old. The
sleeves of the tailored shirtwaist are
plain leg-of- mutton or bishop, with mar
row starched cuffbands. Every woman
who can afford it should have her
shirtwaists made to order. The expense
is not much greater than when. the
shirts are. bought outright, and the nj
and style of the male-to-order garment
is incomparably better. A plain linen
shirtwaist may be had for S.. possibly a
dollar more than it could he purchased
for at the counter. If the best linen be
provided the shirtwaist should give two
seasons wear. OF course, if one is very
particular to have ones clothes in the
extreme Of fashion, she would not wear
waist two seasons. The difference in
waist STYLES, however, is too slight to
disturb the average sensible woman.
Children's spring clothes are lovely.
They will wear as many checks and
pIaids as their elders, black and white
shepherds plaid receiving special favor
For early spring nothing Is prettier. A
touch Of bright red in the trimming re-
lfeves the sombreness of the black and
white, and makes the plaid more youth
full Mohairs, because of their wearing
qualities and dust-shedding powers,
are highly recommended for children 5
gowns. Little girl gowns are trimmed
and embroidered nearly as elaborately
as the mother There are one or two
points Of difference to be observed
Young girls do not wear elbow sleeves,
nor are their partly gowns made With
low necks. For one thing a, growing
girl is usually thin, or at any rate her
figure is uniformed. and low necks are
not becoming. Again, they are con-
sidered to be iii bad taste because too
dressy. Al half-sleeve might be per-
Missile on very dressy occasion,
provided long gloves were worn.
The fashionable low shoe is a very
low tie with high box heel and a fiat
ribbow bow. This Is variously styled
the Christy, the Philadelphia and the
Pompeli tie. Black, brown, and tan
Russia, and patent leather are the
usual feathers. The tie Is also made in
canvas to wear with white linen gowns.
There is, very nice looking white rub
Der shoe sold for chidren's white shoe,
and for wear with the white gowns of
grown-ups. The tan rubber is an old
story of course.-New York Evening
