on even the best of the old jupons. With
a goring as careful as that which may
distinguish an outside skirt, they fit without
a wrinkle about the hips and flare at the
bottom and at the back, with some of the
suggestion of the old "tilter." The 'tilter"
was a petticoat hoop worn In the seven
ties to keep the back OF the skirts out,
and n number of the new jupons show
the same intention in the stiffened frills
which cover back breadths from hem to
waist. All pettiCoats are shorter than for
merly, and this gives the coquetry of house
fo0tgear chance to display itself. The
bottom of the skirt is a mass of furbelows,
unique treatment showing on taffeta
hOuncngs and puffings. Scissors cut the
edges of the frills in many of the old dainty
ways. and little biases, ribbons and narrow
velvets run around the points and scallops
and crescents upside down. The most friv-
olous OF pinked ruches riot over other skirts
and those which are very aristocratic dis
play a very choice minglng with fine ba-
tiste embroiderles, which are considered
more fastidious than lace. Upon these silk
skirts and upon those of lingerie design,
which are even more coQuettish, with their
pillows of lace and fine embroideries, one
or more ribbon or velvet bows may be
flung with delightful carelessness. Perhaps
they are a the left knee, or the ribbon may
take the form of sashes, tying with stream
ers at the back. When accompanied by
tea jacket in lingerie textures or lace, such
a silk skirt. in a rich color, is considered a
correct and modish get-up for any little tea
friends. Orange, apple green. sky blue and
old rose are colors which blend charming
ly with cream or white jackets.
Here is a field of overwhelming seductive
ness. and one wide as 1t is enthralllng.
1t would be impossible to detail all the cof-
fee and tea and bed jacket models in the
market, so many and varied are the styles.
But an exaggerated shortness is a very evil
dent and fetching point with the prettiest
models. for this shortness gives to almost
every figure a jaunty youthfulness. yoke

front of a very dainty chemise. This get
up is most fetching, and If high-throated
''dicky'' is worn over the chemise 1t is even
proper enough to be viewed by anybody. for

French batistes. These delicate textiles. as
palely colored as the first spring flowers,
wash like long-cloth, besides affording
matchless daintiness. Narrow stripes and
the timer patterns are more effective than
the larger designs, and ValencfenneS lace,

! APPLE TREE M THOMAS CIRCLE
FRUIT TREES
IN CITY PARKS

Orchards in the heart Of a city are
rarity. yet Washington is one city which
may pride itself on this possession. With
its many parks, it's broad boulevards and
it's spacious lawns and gardens, the capital
city is blessed beyond the bounds of ex-
preston. Add to these eye-delights the
many Towering shrubs whose perfume per-
meates the balmy atmosphere of the spring
and summer and dream of Elysium is
easily conjured up. Add still then scores
of blossoming fruit trees and the picture
and sentiment is completed. And Wash
ington has all of these in profusiOn
There are within the limits of the city
dozens of apple, pear, plum and peach
trees, all within the reservations of green
and other harmoniZing colors, yet few of
the residents seem to have observed them.
1t has been the constant comment of yis-
itors to the city during the present and the
past months that the beautiful Towering
fruit trees were the most exquisite of the
floral attractions of the capital at this sea-
son. In the circles and the parks they
have burst forth In all their beauty, filing
the air with their perfume and tossing their
snowy petals on every vagrant breeze.
They have lent an added glory to the awak-
ening of the earth's new life and touched
with their delightful coloring the prominent
points In the splendid landscape of nature.
Strictly speaking, they are not orchards,
for they are not generally grouped, but oc-
cur as individuals against a background of
emerald or loom up floral sentinels be-
fore some great public edifice. Usually
the plans of the landscape gardeners have
been laid with the Idea of getting as much
variety of color as possible into a given
area without injuring the harmony of the
whole. This has been accomplished in
nearly all the parks and circles of the city,
and the beds of pansies poppies and other
spring flowers have been a delight to the
eye.

are possessions to be desired. They are
also the very latest caprice of fashion,
and if the coat Is not worn over an
entire gown it sometimes forms part of
II. For instance, a mandarin coat (the
usual name for them is) chosen for
some specially generous cut, then carried
down to full wrapper length, with silk or
mousseline or crepe killing sewed under the
bottom edge like a giant 1ounce. But this
seems desecration of rich thing whose
own charms are more than sufficing, for
nine times out of ten the mandarin jackets
are genuine importations. The faded pea

tints, as well as the magnificent embroid-
cries, are the mark royal of the genuine

lection. mandarin jacket in a deep blue,

Used in this loose, enlargement way,
the Chinese jackets are also much more use
full than when they form part of the gown.
Thanks to the light addition of their
warmth, the airiest tea gown may be worn
far int othe winter. Also at the seashore
these Chinese jackets may serve as light

Long gowns for spring and summer wear
are distinguished by two sharply contrast
ing styles-the short-waisted, empire effect,

will bring in the Vatican pleat. 1t would
be hard to say which is the more charming
of the two. but the Vatican styles are
somewhat newer than the empire ones, and
afford more possibilities for defective fig

be more daintily becoming than the short
empire bodice. which outlines the bust so

Close down beside the smoky old railway
station at 9th and B streets is another lone
apple tree. 1t is within a short stones
throw of the train shed, yet neither that
fact nor the smoke and CRIME have ever
interfered with its blossoming whenever the
season was propitious, and it was never
more favorable than this year. It is O

its neighbors, screened in measure from
