PARIS, April 1, 1905.
These lovely afternoons are spent by
smart Parisians at the various spring pic
ture exhibitions. The world" though,
goes to the galleries with very little idea
of gazing ct the cauvasses unless they hap
pen to represent portraits of it's friends. 1
have noticed numbers of people at these
salons quietly turn their backs on the
paintings when they are not portraits. But
there is one picture - Dagnan Bouverets
Observation-Disclosures which it is the pleasure
OF the hour to stand and comment on the
headdress. The majority of the visitors
come to talk and to discover the faults in
their friends dress arrangement and to
note who makes the most hattering like
ness among fashionable painters
1t is rather soon for the best dress pa
rade Of the season. but pleasant days bring
out many stunning costumes. The changes
in styles are so subtle that at first glance
one sees nothing really different from the
best late winter models. Upon closer in
spection there little manipulations of
trimmings and change in silhouette which
just make the sartorial difference betwlxt
tweedledee and tweedledum, a distinction
with great deal of difference to the wo-
man who is ambitious of being in the van
guard of fashion. The uninitiated in the
modshness of things are apt to say as to
style that everything is good" But every
thing isn't good by long odds. although
there never was a season which started
with such bewilderng variety. Skirts are
fuller. and the modiste who discovers a
way of accentuating this 'bouffantness'
about the feet without adding to the waist
measurement holds the trump card in the
game of modes.

ELABORATE STYLES
Designs Puzzle the Home
Dressmaker.
ONLY FOR THE RICH
TOO GREAT DEMAND ON MoDER-
ATE PURSES.
Models Are Cut on Exaggerated Lines
and Trimmings Are Very
Fanciful. ..

Written for The Evening Star.
The home dressmaker who has been read
ing Paris fashion letters and studying Paris
fashion plates is by this time on the verge
of nervous prostration. Elaboration has
done Its worst for her, as it will do for
any woman who takes the mandates of
Dame Fashion too literally. Paris letters
and French plates are drawn up with a
view to pleasing the fancy of the million
are class, which has given foreigners dis
torted view of the American womans
needs.
These guide posts on the road to dress
should be taken at their true value-that
is. merely as pointing to desired results.
The American woman Of good taste does
not follow them slavishly, but merely keeps
safely within the sartorial limits. Be
cause Dame Fashion has said that this is
to be a season of silks, the economical
woman does not spend her entire dress al
lowance on two more silk frocks, but
she introduces silken note into each cos
tune in guimpe trimmings, ribbon garni-
lures, rosettes or by employing silk
laceS.
A well-gowned woman, however, should
count among her summer possessions at
least one silk frock, and for general use
nothing is more suitable than the supple
taffetas In an inconspicuous check or one
showing tiny flowers in Self-tone or har-
monizing tints, scattered over the checks.
Blue and White Check.
An imported frock In blue and white

instances the treatment is highly success
ful. A lovely frock of the new blue. which
is pale steely sort of gray and resembles
nothing more than lingerie which has been

in cloth a shade deeper. The design Is
detached and starts almost at the bottom
of the hem in front, then gradually rises
toward the back, keeping well below the
knee at Its highest point. The natty little
waist is tucked q few inches at the Shout

flight of pink pompadour bows. A round
lace collar outlines the neck The bodice

frilled black and pink silk. three of these
attractive ornaments being placed down the
front, and a fourth catches the bodice full

Another pretty conceit which applies to
lingerie, separate waists and tub dresses
Is to soften with a narrow frll of Valen-
ciennes the embroidery medallions that
adorn SO many OF these CONNECTIONS. The
material is cut from under the embroid-
cry, and the effect is lacy and fluffy. Bands
of wide insertion edged with tiny lace
make a most effective trimming for sur
pliced bodices.
The lingerie establishments here In Paris
are showing some wonderful batiste waist
creations in dainty Powered designs, all in
set and incrusted with lace and embroidery.
A new model has runnings of gathered
satin ribbon between the horizontal inser-
lions of cluny lace. The empiecement is
cut in a very becoming line, widening out

The Short Sleeve.
Those who can wear them affect the

the transparent mitten cuff of lace or en-
