Embroidered linen waists have al
most supplanted the silk waist, the
English eyelet work, being in strong
est demand, either in an all-over pat
tern or in sprays.
A remarkably pretty frock Of fin
est white lawn, seen recently, had
skirt, surplice fronts and the full
elbow sleeves trimmed simply with
groups of hemstitched tucks.
| - Smart parasols, moderate in price,
are Of sheer white silk embroidered all
over in large dots and lined with
silk checked In white and the color
of the dots. The checks show dimly
through the white silk.
| - Heavy Irish crochet ornaments and
guipure of the embroidered linen va
riety, so heavy that they seem to be-
long with the passementeries rather
than the laces, appear on everything
from mousseline to broadcloth.
- Tucking will do much toward
trimming a frock, and fine lawn or
batiste daintily tucked and with little
other trimming Is preferable to the
frock elaborately trimmed with coarse
lace inset or applied carelessly by
machine.
Fancy gloves with embroidered
wrists or fancifully embroidered backs,
with facings Of contrasting color, and
with embroidered straps swapping
closely around the wrist to hold a
mousquetaire glove simply, are among
the novelties.
| Goats made even to wear with thin
dresses Is one Of the fancies of the
season, and II is true that the short
ones are beginning to be the preferred
ones. These little coats are made Of
the material like the dress or often
entirely Of lace, and are both pretty
and dressy.
| The short sleeve Is undeniably the
sleeve Of the season, and in midsum-
mer it be as comfortable as 1t is un-
becoming to the average woman. The
long close cuff Is happy compromise
/ for tine woman who knows that her
arms are not all she could desire In
point Of beauty.
Linen costumes In coat and skirt
designs are many and varied, the coats
ranging from the long fitted tailored
garment in firm. heavy linen to the
most frivolous of little boleros
Jaunty capes and nondescript little
wraps, half cape, half bolero, are also
developed In linen.
Checked silk, preferably in large
checks, is used under plain voile on
other sheer wool with good effect, and
a particularly attractive French frock
was of what appeared to be a very
sheer white serge made over bright
red and white checked taffeta and
trimmed in white fiber braid and pip
ings Of red.
Turnover collars with four-in-hand
most popular and will continue so un-
til warmer weather demands a looser
and cooler style Of neckwear. Perhaps
the newest thing in less fiimsy neck
wear is a stiff linen collar slit at in
tervals all the way round to allow a
tie to be threaded through the linen.
Excellent for a standby Is a black
silk shirt waist suit, because 1t can be
lbrightened with a lace shoulder col
lar for dressy wear or with fancy neck
be worn with all sorts of dressy waists
and thus enlarge its sphere Of useful
ness.
For graduation and commence
ment gowns young girls are wearing
organdies, linen lawns, wash chiffon,
and other delicate cotton stuffs In
preference to silk or crepe-de- chine,
although the wash silks in white are
as inexpensive and serviceable later as
the cotton goods. Embroidered swiss
is also being used for graduating
gowns, and all these dresses are
trimmed with lots Of valenciennes lace,
embroidery motifs lace insertion and
sometimes tiny satin ribbon. Deep
girdles Of white satin ribbon, or sash
es of white ribbon are worn, the
llong ends sometimes finished with ro-
settes Of tiny val lace or bows Of rib
bon.
This spring we are getting differ
ent combinations besides the black
skirt and a white waist. Shirt waists
are to be worn with skirts Of harmon
izing or contrasting colors, although

about the contrast. Grays, light tans,
and even greens are being shown In
walking skirts and in those made for
dressy occasions. Brown Is a fast
fects are made In ecru or light tan,
voile and brilliantine. Pongee, always
durable and generally useful, promises
to attain popularity in many delicate
shades. All shirt waist skirts are cut
walking length-a little shorter than
just touching.
-Mohairs have come out in the
prettiest Of pastel checks, and mohairs
have no end Of wear in them. They
make the most satisfactory travelling
suits and dresses imaginable. Chif-
fon- taffeta, in the tiny broken checks
and hair lines, copied from old-time
silks, make up exquisite suits. Regu-
lation shepherds checks are being
done to death, but the broken checks,
and, most of all, the shadow checks,
are stronger than ever. In wash stuffs
linen leads. But chambrays and ging-
hams, relieved from too somber a
style by chemisettes, and a hundred
other materials are used. trimmed or
plain The broderie Anglaise suits
are stunning, and the embroidered
ones and a severe little kind Of plain
suit that is just coming in-more
mannish as to style. yet anything but
masculine, is very popular.
In the making Of waists, both for
those worn with separate skirts and
for the entire costume of one material,
the surplice style continues to grow
in popularity. Materials of all kinds
are made up after this manner and
perhaps we shall not have a more
popular design during the spring or
