Leaves from Fashion. Notebook.

The short jackets, which are seen in the
newest walking gowns, are very attractive,
and to slender figures very becoming. They
are loose box coats or half-htting jackets,
high-waisted and fitting snugly about the
shoulders.
We are to wear sashes again, It appears.
Ribbons of sash width are everywhere
exhibited among the new things. and many
of the model gowns are fitted with them.
Many of the sashes are edged with wide
silk fringes.

ermine, all white, with no eyes at all,
and the effect is indescribably soft and
pretty, the creamy white Of the ermine

fetching.

The milliDers are making a renewed ef-
fort to induce their patrons to wear the
effort failed last year, but the millners
are confident that 1t will be more sue
cessful now that women have grown more
or less used TO the idea. In this particu-
lar group of hats were many with long
chiffon wells.
Effects suggesting grenadine, though
finer and produced by little closely set
flowers and garlands on a ground of fine
open work, design and ground all in one
tint, are among the pretty things, and
narrow alternating stripes of small en-
brodered dots on plain ground, and open
work weave are also among the elaborate
yet inconspicuous monotone materials in
silk and cotton mixture.
The form which the linen princesse most
often takes is that of a frock with en-
brodered panel all the way down the
frock, and with blouse and skirt cut sep
arate at sides and back and Joined at the

models even more radical are shown. The

Nowadays the revived fashion of wear
ing nighlcaps is ascribed entirely to a
pretty charitable way people have of COW
ering multitudinous sins in the shape Of
crimping pins and unwaved hair, for what
woman in these hardy Spartan times would
acknowledge that a forehead which spends
its days under the all too warm protection
of a massive pompadour protests some
what on being exposed undraped to the
icy wind which fashion demands shall

health as in other things and that these
are the days when doctors demand that
we shall harden ourselves, and will take
no denial.

Life of women's Clubs Lengthenine.
A New York correspondent reports that
the average life Of women's clubs is grad
ually lengthening in that city. Not many
years ago most of the clubs practically
went out Of existence after the second an
nual meeting, but today there are over 100
clubs which have survived FIVE or six an
nual meetings without serious rupture. In
the state of New York there are over 200
clubs allied In a federation, each keeping
its own identity and all working together
in harmony toward the general end of Sc
curing for women a dignifled place In af-
fairs. OF these at least 90 per cent were
organized on purely literary lines. The
others are mainly clubs for educational
purposes and for civic and political study.
There are also several patriotic societies,
working girls associations and state
daughters clubs. the latter organized
on the lines OF the various state societies of
the city. The Eclectic club reaches nearer
than the others to being distinctly fashion
able and soross is generally regarded as
the embodiment Of that which represents
brains, independence and aggressiveness.
This organisation Is now eighteen years old
and II regards itself as the mother club. In
fact II took the first step to form the fed
Grafton few years ago and IL has been
successful in directing most of the big club
movements in the last few years. Alto

city and the number, like the circulation OF
a country newspaper, us constantly grow

OF their own and the disposition is not to
encourage this feature. The big uptown no.
tells and the many cozy lyceums afford all
the accommodations needful for the pur-
poses of the average women's club. Few OF
the members have time to devote to more
than a weekly or monthly attendance Of

yet simply made, 1t is all the more de-
sirable. Here is a small dress of serge
which is very effective with its broad
pleats and square yoke with panel front
1t is style which will prove becoming
to any child, as the pleats suggest height
while the square yoke adds breadth to the
shoulders. The stitching and huge but
tons give modish finish, so that no trim
ming is needed. For school and general
wear dress made after this design would
be very attractive and serviceable. Pan
anna cloth at 95 cents a yard in a small
check would be pretty for any kind of
wear. The design is one appropriate to
linen and madras as we'll as pongee. In

in a hurry-and they are at their prettiest
