6 or Ires,,vning one that has seen
some service. Beside, they are so be-
coming, especially if they match the color
Of the hat OF its trimmings Wide, very
full ruches OF tulle and maline are the
frenchiest and most becoming style in
the new neckwear. These are rather
short and are finished with long ends Of
ribbon or velvet knotted and bowed in
many fanciful ways.
A new material has just been intro
duced, called "Malinette," that looks ex-
actly like the ordinary maline, but is
waterproof and, therefore, does not crush
and fall with the dampness as ordinary
tulle is sure to do. Women here are so
delighted with it that it is hard for the
popular stores to keep a sufficient supply
It is an ideal fabric for all sorts Of ruch-
ings, especially for wide ruffs, costs no
more than any good maline and outlasts
It many times.
Laces and sheer effects Of all sorts are,
il 1t were possible, more popular than
ever. There is a growing fad for "Ombre"
or opalescent effects; hence, Innings are
usually in contrasting rather than match
coors and often two OF three thin fabrics
are used, one over the other, to obtain
the desired effect. Innings of striped,
checked OF fowered taffetas are modishly
employed under voiles and other trans
parent meshes.
Thanks are due the Mccall Co., makers
and designers of fashion, for handsome
illustration accompanying this article.
Almost every gown one sees has the
yoke or plastron and collar of lace or
muslin tucked, embroidered or orna-
mented in some elaborate style, and extra
waists of whatever material are all Of
lingerie modes. There is an endless de-
mand with these gauzy collars for satis-
factory stiffener.
Dressmakers and up-to-date women
here are using "Tryune," new patented
device for holding up collars, that is
altogether satisfactory in wear and very
dainty in appearance. In the form Of
sllk-cOvered elongated loops, round at
both ends, it is guaranteed not to twist,
rust or scratch the neck and it washes
perfectly. If a heavier stiffener is de-
sired, the same material is made into a
single bone" and in this form is called
Lastlkon" 1t is the slender, double
loop, however, that is being exported to
faquin, Doucet, Redfern, Poret and other
famous Partisan modistes.
What is known as the "Glove Bangle"
Is the latest novelty in bracelets. It is
around plain bangle, in pearl, gold or jet,
Without stones, and is used especially TO
hold up the long loose wristed gloves
mat are now universally worn. In hat
pms the amber balls OF oblong shapes are
very much in favor here and, as they
blend well with many hats and are not
at all expensive, no one need be denied
!ne plesure of indulging IN this mode, if
appeals to their fancy
Long gloves are worn by everyone who
wears the half or three-quarter sleeve,
ana probably more black glace kids are
seen than ever before since gloves were
invented. With warmer weather, the
laonc gloves will no doubt displace kids,
ana there is quite a leaning toward mits
WIN long wrists. These are a good choice
only for the wcmen who is possessed OF
an unusually pretty, well-kept hand.
LINED parasOls are to be used popu-
lauy this year, and handsome parasols
are a mass of chiffon lace and every sort
~. elaboration. The latest fad is the
pliectoire parasol, with an enormously
.J1g, straight stick, such as one sees in
olu.tlme prints and paintings of that
period. 1t is needless to say that such
an extreme style will be confined to the
