Helpful Hints on What 70 Wear and
How to Wear II.
In this day, when q blouse must
match a skirt with which It is to be
worn, colored blouses Of all kinds have
been discarded. If they appear at all
1t is in the guise Of a low-necked lin
ing Of pale blue, pink, yellow or Law
ender silk. Entire blouses Of Irish
crochet and other heavy cotton and
linen laces made severely plain will be
worn with linen skirts and boleros for
morning as we'll as for afternoon.
THAT 80 essentially smart little
blouse coat has come back to us with
added charms for the warm days Of
spring and early summer. Triple rev.
ers are the accompaniments Of some
Of the newest Louis coats, with cuffs
and collars in the same style. In each
case they are superposed, the upper
ones being the smallest, while they are
identical in shape. AS an example,
costume of mouse-gray faced cloth
was treated with pointed revers Of its
own material, over which were revers
Of light copper colored velvet, which
were quite an inch narrower. These
in turn were partially covered with
smaller examples In cream embroid-
cred silk.
The tricorne is, in the hands Of the
present day milliner, a thing Of beau
ty, even If 1t is not going to be Joy
forever (the Fates forefend that we
ever be doomed to wear the same
shape in headgear eternally!) There
are countless developments upon this
popular model, and so graceful and
charming is it in every phase Of its
variety that there is no possible
chance Of our wearying Of 1t ere Its
race be duly run. The round, bowl
shaped crown is the latest develop
ment in these, and the brim is wired
so that it may be bent and pinched
and twisted to the angle most becom-
ing to its wearer, and that without In
any way losing the lines that are char
acteristic of this shape.
The vogue Of color combinations
and color contrasts that Is growing
steadily In favor in all departments Of
dress has its due expression in the
spring millinery. So far 1t Is chiefly
to be seen In a use Of two different
color braids, Of which one shall be
white or ecru, and the other some
complementary tone. Thus smart
tricorne has the round crown and the
inner side Of the upturned brim all In
a Panama straw Of the natural un-
bleached tint; while the outer side OF
the brim Is faced with loosely woven
rice straw Of a medium shade OF
brown. A piquant touch is afforded
in the ruchings Of black chiffon which
encircle the crown and are hotted into
huge chou that overlaps the brim
and piles itself high on the crown, this
being centered with large disk OF
apple satin having a fiat strass
and gold button sewn fast to the mid
die.
One Of the latest developments OF
that tickle Dame, Fashion is the fad
for a plain cloth coat with a plaid
skirt. The touch Of connection be-
tween the two Is often afforded In the
waistcoat, which matches the skirt
rather than the coat as to color and
material. There are some charming
sicilliennes-one importing house calls
them wooden louisines-in the checks
and broken plaids which combine
beautifully with the dull finishes In
cloth. Browns. dark and light greens,
some exquisite blues Of the violet and
sapphire tones, and the tan shades are
all in good standing for these. The
clever dresser will hail these with Joy,
for with the coat and shirt fashioned
after the latest model, there is sim
ply no end to the smart effects she
can manage in the matter Of vests and
blouses. Worn with a simple shirt
waist and a wash waistcoat they are
absolutely CONNIE II faut for morning
wear.
The milliners are borrowing from
every possible style and period to
make tiny hats becoming. A simple
but effective one consists Of crown
Of yellow roses surrounded by bands
Of black velvet, with a bunch Of silk
loops on each side rather fiat against
the hair. A more elaborate bonnet Is
Of gold lace over white silk trimmed
with a small but thick ostrich plume
tinting from white to bright yellow.
These small bonnets demand elaborate
hair dressing. There Is a sudden
fashion for a low coiffure. Fashion
able women still continue to wear the
vertical side comb and the hair f1uffed
over the forehead. There are many
small hats worn aside from theater
hats, and the toque turned up smartly
on the sides is a model that Is popular.
The Louis XVI style continues to pre-
dominate, though the polo toque seems
coming more and more into favor. A
charming model Of the latter kind Is In
cinnamon straw and velvet Of the
same color, trimmed with uncurled os-
trich feathers.
PLAIN mohairs will be greatly worn
this spring for tailor-made suits, Sc
parate skirts and for general wear.
Panama voiles will have next choice.
Broadcloths in lighter weight will con-
tinue to be worn, and Henriettas are
increasing in popularity, as are the
eoliennes. In wash materials. the
broderie Anglaise waist will be univer-
sally accepted, and with these the lin
en- collar will be worn and the lego
mutton sleeve obtain favor. There is
new and pretty tweed called game
feather" which looks extremely well
made up as a Norfolk suit. This can
be procured in waterproof, made by
new method recently discovered and
said to be founded on much the same
principle as the plumage Of birds,
which successfully resists all wet. For
rough wear there is nothing like a
