Interesting gold braids, which come
In a dozen widths-narrow enough for
a belt, wide enough for a girdle-give
an odd little touch to costume that
is most effective. Dull blues and
greens and silver mix with the gold
Persian and Egyptian patterns and
quiet its too evident sparkle.
The craze Of the season for the
faddish and the picturesque accounts
in part for the number Of princess
dresses that are being developed in all
possible materials. A princess dress
of linen Is almost the last thing one
might reasonably expect to find, and
yet one was included in a recent dis
play Of spring toilets. The linen en-
ployed was of coarse etamine weave,
and was laid in wide, shallow plaits
from the shoulder to the ground. Pad
ded embroidery in bold flower and
scroll effects decked the bottom Of the
skirt, while around the shoulders was
laid a little circular linen cape en-
riched with cut-work, combined with
heavily padded embroidery, the gener-
al effect being very open. Coat. sleeves
and little square-cornered vest were
composed Of shirred and corded lawn.
Needless to say this dress must shun
the washer-woman A princess toilet
prepared for the Inauguration festivi-
ties in Washington was Of supple
black taffeta cut after a stately sweep
ing design. Two hoops of black vel
vet ribbon clasped at intervals by
knots adorned the bottom Of the skirt.
The bodice was made with pointed
vest of black and white striped silk
muslin, this bordered by drapery In.
part of rose -colored and in part by
black velvet, the long ends OF which
knotting over the breast, fell below
the waist line. Add a shoulder collar
Of gold tissue embroidered with vel
vet flowers and capote Of gold gauze
surmounted by an aigrette and fas-
tened by coquettishly tied strings and
you have a costume with elements Of
originality.
Margaret Davis, In "Colors-to-
Wear and Avoid" gives nine feminine
types. and the colors becoming and
unbecoming to each. The brunette,
she says, the girl with blue-black hair,
black eyes and pallid complexion
should wear black, cream-white, pur-
pie and violet, amber, olive green, reds'
russell, and rose-pink, never blue
white, cold blues, grey, mauve pink,
yellow or pale green. The Irish GIRL
with dark brown hair, grey eyes and
fresh complexion should wear dark
green, purple, white, black. fawn, grey,
brown, red, blue, gold and lavender,
never pale green, old gold, or pink.
The Nut Brown Maid, with her brown
hair, eyes and skin must wear every
shade Of red, amber, yellow, cream,
maroon. flame, and warm blue, never
pale blue, violet, black, white or grey.
The Titan type, with her crown or
FURNISHED bronze. has to be extremely
careful to avoid every hint Of blue, red,
green or pink, and must wear dark
colors, black, deep purple, and green'
cream and amber. The neutral type,
with hair, eyes and skin Of no partic-
ular color, may wear every bright col
or, except green and yellow. No shade
of brown or green or grey should ever
be INDUCED In by her. The rosy
blonde, with her bright complexion
fair hair and blue eyes, must wear
lavender, cool greys. white. brown, and
green, but not red, blue, yellow or
tan. The warm blonde with her rosy
skin, light hair and dark eyes, Is a
darling Of the gods, and may wear
everything except cold blues, greens
and violets. The colorless blonde,
rather washed-out type, should
avoid light or pastel shades OF every
thing, and wear turquoise, yellow
greens, peacock blue, amber, cream
red and black. The girl with prema-
turely grey hair can make hersef
very lovely Marie Antoinette IN all the
shades of green and purple and rich
blues, reds and browns. Cream Is also
becoming to her. But she must sedul-
ously avoid black, yellow, light blue
and pink, lilac and light green.
TT Is time for consideration OF
spring millinery, and, although models
from authoritative sources are not yet
numerous, the demi-season hat is al
ready here in full glory" The varie-
ties in the line Of straw hats, we are
told, are legion. From the finest
chips to rough barn-yard braids OF
coarse, round straws, each Is desirable
and appropriate to some occasion. The
majority Of these straws are loosely
woven, or plated, showing any color
placed under them through the
strands" AS for the trimmings. these,
too, seem to be numerous and varied
everything almost we read will be
used Flowers and foliage Of all kinds
seem to be holding a place In the first
rank, In these early or between season
hat trimmings. So much is being
written concerning the satin straw
flowers, that I, too, shall give some-
thing of what have been able to Gull
from a fashion book or so. One says:
Most novel Of all, and, therefore,
worthy Of first place, were wonderful
clusters Of morning glories In satin
straw. So lightly and daintily are they
made, and so brilliantly colored that
admiration is only the natural Sc
quence Of sight. A bright rose color
is especially effective. Violets also are
simulated in this satin straw, but here
let 1t be remarked that artificial flow
ers Of the year are by no means invar-
iably faithful to natures colorings,
though one variety Of each Is sure to
be an exact duplicate in every parti-
cular. From this they depart into
every possible shade Of modish color
pink, green, old rose, pale blue ana
several Others" 1t Is a pity. when
these flowers are so pretty, that they
are not substantial-yet, We are told
that they will not bear constant or
hard usage. Another one Of the new
trimmings which will more than likely
be used upon the early spring hats Is
