well, but the result is most attractive
when the skilled one has finished her
work. How it is done we do not pre-
tend to know, there are such cunning
ly hidden cores which come to a mere
nothing at the waist and flare out most
bouffant below. The designers of the
1906 spring gowns have certainly
shown much cleverness.
The 1oveliest flesh tones are seen ir
millinery and gown materials, many
variations played on creamy pinks
and pinky creams The so-called
banana is something much moro
charming than one would think from
the sound, and all the tans are in
highest favor, bid fair to rout the
much exploited grays of earlier proph-
ecy. Biscuit color we have had with
us several years, but the biscuit-colored
cloth is as good this year as when
first brought forward. Fashion may
be capricious often, but she is not
wholly tickle, when she finds a gooc
thing holds on to it longer than giver
credit for.
hat shining splendid from show
window the other day was a lustrout
horsehair whose color was neither vel.
low nor pink, but a mingling of both.
The long plume was decidedly straw
celored, the whole a very beautiful
combination. This would be effective
either as a suit hat or to wear with
white lace gown. With black it
might prove too much of a contrast.
1t is surprising how much velvet is
to be used this spring and summer.
Short coats and boleros are to be made
of it, and it is employed extensively
for trimming. The idea appeals to
us, velvet is SO generally becoming and
such beautiful fabric in itself. OF
light weight, lined with thinnest silk
it need not be so very warm; the little
velvet coat may well have place in the
summer outfit.
The silk glove is fair rival to the
kid as accompaniment to the elbow
sleeve, and the shops are displaying
long silk gloves in about every con.
ceivable shade. They are most at
tractive and mold themselves to the
arm so prettily.

There are Jokes on everything, short
yokes and yokes long enough to meet
the corselet skirt; but, one way or an
other, blouse and even outside wrap
must be cut up by gimp or the simu-
lation thereof. The fancy waist here
pictured seems to us most attractive.
graceful and latest mode. All-over
lace is used for the upper part, the
lower portion is of soft messaline. a
shade darker than the lightweight
cloth skirt with which worn. The
sleeves come well above the elbow and
band of trimming encircles the arm,
giving a full puff at the shoulder. The
collar is quite high, point to note
with this new style of blouse. In the
street gown suggested, the princess
coat is SO cut up by trimming as to
give the appearance of bolero. The
sleeves are very short, disclosing a
puff of lingerie between coat cuff and
long glove.
Speaking of short sleeves for the
street, have you seen the economical
silk wristlet an enterprising dealer
has put forth? 1t is merely a long
glove without covering for the hands,
wrinkles it's way from elbow to wrist,
where it is met by the real glove. One
pair will outwear many pairs of gloves
and one need not feel SO extravagant
about having all ones sleeves abbrevi-
ated.
Flat braid trimming is very much
the thing for the tailored gown. for
black, white or colored gown. So far
we have seen no white serges on the
street, but many very fetching ones
have been made up for summer days.
White will continue to be immensely
popular, and a white wool or mohair
frock is a fine thing to have in ones
summer wardrobe; there are so many
cool pleasant days when one wants to
look summary and yet not blue nosed,
and such a frock as this answers the
bill exactly.
Fine tucks look neat and trim and
we find them employed a great deal
ON late frocks, much used for fitting
in at the waist line bodice and
princess. 1t takes an artist to do this
