Judging from the number Of at
tractive sets Of turnover collars and
cuffs now found in all Of the exclu-
sive shops, they are not destined to
90 out Of style for at least the next
six months.
Silk warped henrietta cloth has
returned to favor and several cos
tunes made Of 1t have been seen trim
med with heavy white lace. Naturally
the white henrietta Is the most
fashionable.
There's a new color in batiste all
overs (and In the edgings and inser-
tions to match, Of course) pongee. It's
a little deeper than champagne, rich
and at the same time delicate. But
the champagne tones are all good, too.
Certainly the blouse and bolero
Jackets will be the approved styles
for spring and summer wraps. We
are never tired Of these modes, and
the infinite variety possible In a
Jacket of this kind always makes 1t
thing Of individuality and charm.
The brilliant color effects are still
introduced, in a refined way, into the
staidest of the coat suits. One seldom
sees anything entirely sombre, either
as to cut or color combinations; the
nun-like garb has been completely put
into the background In favor Of the
butterfly effects.
There is an immense demand for
embroideries Of all kinds as trimmings
10 the gowns Of cloth and velvet.
French handmade raised work is
very popular, while braid designs of
all kinds are cunningly worked on the
dresses. Applique work and Oriental
embroideries, especially Chinese and
Persian, are still to be seen.
The popularity Of leather as a
trimming material was bound to bring
1t within the scope Of the milliner's
plans, and the ready-to-wear hat Is
quite often seen in this somewhat in
congruous adjunct. White, Of course,
is a prime favorite. and the touch of
brown upon white which succeeded the
magpie combination Of white and black
that held sway for so long Is the one
most favored in the leather combina-
tions.
This Is the season Of children's
parties and dancing school, and an
evening cloak or coat is sometimes
necessary to wear over the dressy
frocks Of little girls. For these young
misses there is nothing prettier than
the little Red Riding Hood cap with
its full round hood, which is light
and all-enveloping, but one runs
through a number Of stages between
seven and seventeen. and 1t is natur-
ally very soon grown out Of"
- Shirt waists seem to grow straigh-
ter and straighter in front, the most
fashionable ones now having just a
suggestion of blouse at the waist line,
From the looks Of things now, 1t ap-
pears that before the summer Is over
the fronts will be perfectly straight,
The habit back skirt Is also gone, and
there Is none to weep at the funeral,
for it was not graceful arrangement;
in fact, it was STACEY and horsey. One
can say this now it has gone out Of
fashion.
Princess models grow constantly
in popularity, and most Of the velvet
costumes and the light weight broad
cloths are built on these lines. An
attractive princess frock Of deep cream
broadcloth is plain from hem to the
line Of the bust. A collar Of Irish lace
falls over the puffed sleeves, which are
of muslin to match, and it turns back
in little collar points from the guimpe
Of muslin. A black velvet ribbon en-
circles the neck and is drawn under
the turned-back lace points and knot
ted in front.
A tailor costume Of dark purple
cloth combines several attractive feat
ures. It is made in a plated habit
that seems to be close rival to the
directoire coat. In this case the plaits
are stitched over the shoulder and
again to form a close belt. They are
soft over the bust and the skirt part
Of the habit falls in three side plaits.
The sleeves make a large puff, dim
inishing toward the elbows, where
they meet a series of buttoned over
bands that form a high cuff. There
is an inside waistcoat made Of white
cloth embroidered in gold. 1t buttons
above the belt and simply outlines the
sides of the habit shirt. The skirt Is
plain.
The leading dressmakers continue
to assert that cashmere is to be very
fashionable. A frock recently sent
over by a Partisan house is a bright
red cashmere trimmed with white
cloth and black mohair. The skirt is
laid In side plaits stitched for short
distance, and near the hem there are
three deep tucks taken In the stuff.
The bolero is laid in small tucks over
the shoulder and gathered into a braid
belt put on a little above the waist
line. The decolletage and the front
of the bodice are edged with an en-
broidery of linen Of fine white and
black braid, and this trimming crosses
just below the bust to the belt. This
leaves exposed below the corselet a
double breasted waistcoast Of white
cloth, cut out above to outline the
sides of the bolero. The sleeves are
of moderate gigot, shirred into a mar
row line of braid trimming upon the
inside seam and finished with a mar
row cuff of broad black braid and
white cord.
The new foulards are already with
us, as we'll as a number Of soft silks
for the ever-popular shirt waist suit.
There is nothing particularly novel
yet Chiffon taffetas are recommend
ed and those in pin checks and shep-
herds plaids are especially desirable.
Oriental silks have never been re-
ceived In such an abundance. Habu-
tais are much favored. Merchants are
doing all in their power to make this

making great strides toward popular
