SPRING. Sly LES ARE
PRETTIER THAN EVER
Evolution In Modes Tends to
beauty Rather Than to showi-
ness Shirt Waist Suits for
Practical Wear Pointcd Fronts,
Box Plaits and the sicilicnne
Sleeve. sI3


AS the season advances II becomes
moro and more evident that II is to
be given up to styles that possess more
of the prettiness than ever before. The
modlstes seem to have devoted their
best attention and time to the evolution
OF modes that have In every limo sotne-
thing that is persuading and pretty.
rather than to the creation Of radical
styles.
1t Is particularly noticeable In the
latest showings that there is nothing
that tends towards the SNOWY or spec
.tacular. Though we do find elaborate
effects, the color scheme, the materials,
and the treatment oil tend towards the
subducd. AS q result. tho spring and
summer will undoubtedly bring forth
moro OF absolute prettiness and loneliness
than has been seen in half OF q century.
There are only ono or two striking
colors In tho new color scheme, and as
these are very trying to all but few
.compexlons, they can hardly BIO re.
gardcd seriously. Gowns OF these particu-
lar colorings will be the exception rather
than tho rulc. What also operates
against tho general wearing Of these
colors Is the fact that they are only
found in the moro expensive materials
as yet, and ns the dyes are said to be
extremely expensive and their handling
difficult, hardly think they will be Of
fcred in the popular priced fabrics.

For Practical Wear !.

For practical everyday wear, the shirt
waist suit is to DO as popular as ever,
,f not moro so. This will DO good news
to a host OF women. who, though they
desire to BIO fashionable, also rejoice IN
being comfortable. The designers have
produced many charming effects IN both
morning and afternoon gowns along
tho popular lines OF the shirt waist suit.
The variations arc almost legion, yet the
we'll known lines OF this garment arc IN
evidence. Z
In materials for the morning gown,
serge, linen. light weight tweeds. cottons
and the new pongee predominate Tho
new pongee Is slightly heavier than tne
pongee VIC hnvo known, and y SHOWS
knots and burrs in the wenvs For the
afternoon gowns the softer and moro
pliable fabrics are used. Wolfe. taffeta
silk, and all tho sheer materials are ABB
The woman wath the small purse
will undoubtedly regret tho fact THAI
with the advancing styles the dec'deo
difference between the morning ana the
afternoon gown becomes more pro-
nouncod.% This means that the woman :,
who would be stylishly attred on AL
occasions cannot make ono "best gown
DO for all occasions. Linens arc TO 20
most popular: in fact, the wardrobe that
does not include linen gown OF Two
will DO woefully incomplete. Ii
