and go far ahead Of the valentine mails
There has been a decided evolution in the
Easter card and new fashions prevail here
as they do in other things. The old styles,
with the angels, the cross and the egg,
will never lose their popularity however,
and they will reappear season after season.
The postal card craze has entered into
Easter, as 1t has into all the other ami
versaries and threatens the popularity Of
other styles of cards. When the post card
was first introduced as an Easter memento,
few years ago, there were those who
declared it a sacrege and opposed its use;
but that first feeling has worn away, and
now its adoption has become general With
the postal card has come also the element
Of comedy, which seems homogeneous in
connection with the idea Of Easter; but it
is a mild, harmless sort Of comedy with
pictures representing little Dutch girls and
boys having various catastrophes with eggs
and rabbits and chickens. There are some
large cards in the way Of chickens and
rabbits, and by their sides bit Of paste
board, which, pushed back, reveals vari-
colored eggs made Of crinklod tissue paper.
These are among the novelties in Easter
cards In the same way as the egg is
opened in another card a flower pot is
displayed, with a blooming rose opening
from It, and other devices are shown on
the same plan.
The Easter card has been elaborated in
many ways from the simple affair it once
was. The designs Of some are very artis-
| tic showing old themes with modern treat
ment.
The sale of Easter cards by the whole
sale houses has been unprecedented this
year. For several years the increase in
the demand has been noticeable, but the
sales this year have gone far ahead of
those of any year past The dealer puts II
down to the general prosperity Of the
country, but one must allow something for
the growth of the spirit Of giving and re-
membering prompted by the significance Of
the season.
A leading florist declares that within ten
years the sale Of Easter flowers has in
creased threefold. 1t used to be that the
dealer in flowers had his heaviest season
at Christmas, but now Easter is the busiest
time Of the whole year, For six months

ribbon bows and flowers. The flowers are
in every conceivable color and variety, per-
haps the daintiest are the for-get-me-nots
and the French roses. Very catchy are
the poke bonnets with embroidered frills,
bows of ribbons and flowers. They also
come in straw, similarly trimmed. The
wash hats are shown in sizes from in
fants to misses. They are made of piques,
embroidered swisses and mulls with pretty
lace trimmings. Most of the hats this sea-
son come with the buttoned crowns, max
ing them absolutely washable.
Some os the washable coats for the
children one and two years old are very
beautiful, having handsome hand embroid-

Of fine piques and linens and are shown in
most of the delicate tints.
Many attractive shoes are shown this
season for the children. They come in
colors whites, tans and blues. The preferred
styles are the one and two strapped san
dals. The barefoot sandal will be very
popular. These can be had this season in
patent leather, white kid as well as the
Russian leather.
Little short saques for the babes are
shown to match the shoes in color. Among
the attractive novelties shown is the In

Of white cashmere, peculiarly cut with
flowing sleeves and made elaborate with
hand embroidered designs. They cost from

CHILDRENS SPRING STYLES
Charming Possibilities in Material
Presented Despite Necessity for
simplicity in Treatment.

Simplicity should characterize the dresses
foc children but even with this always in
view charming possibilities may be de-
veloped in planning and completing these
little frocks. Wash material is usually
selected for the younger children from one
70 two years of age. Those made with
yokes are the preferred styles for little
girls and are very daintily made with tucks
and lace Little Gretchen dresses are also
shown on empire lines. Both long and
short sleeves are shown in these and the
materials generally used are Persian lawns,
nainsooks and barred dimities. For little
boys the pleated dresses all in one suit are
considered correct. They are Russian blouse
effect, some are trimmed with embroidery
bands and have Dutch neck, and short
sleeves for midsummer. For older chill
dren from two to six years, waist dresses
are fast taking the place Of the French
frocks, which were shown two seasons ago.
They are made very elaborate this season
Very small box plaits stitched close to-
gether worn with a broad sash to define
the waist line are very good. The short
pulled sleeves gathered into lace-frilled
bands are pretty and the lower edge Of the
skirt is either hemsutched or trimmed with
insertion above the hem. The material Is
usually dotted Swiss, Persian lawns OF
checked dimities. These dresses range IN
price from $50 70 SIS. Bonnets for little

Necks-Coat Shirts in
Demand.

In shirts a veritable wealth Of styles, pat
terms and colors are offered, any one Of
which will prove seasonable, and 1t Is to
be strictly a season Of color effects. All
the seven cardinal coloTs have been used
in more than ffty-seven varieties Of shades
both gaudy and subdued The neglge shirt
is to be more popular than ever during the
rush seasons Of the last few years and
the stiff shirt has apparently lost its ad-
herents as but few will be worn or
shown.
PIeated bosoms will be more in favor
than ever, but the pleats will be much
smaller than was the case last year, when
wide box plaits were the vogue. The pres
emit styles are of very narrow knife plaits
and practically make the shirts of one
thickness Of material, which will be highly
appreciated by the wearer with the advent
of warmer weather.
The implicated shirt will also be worn
more than ever, as its comfort is Of I'M
questioned value, and dainty effects in thin
goods are being shown that will no doubt
be much the fashion as the season ad-
vances.
In the realm of colors the manufacturer
has apparently expended his greatest effort

renowned coat Of JoseIh. White as a

MEMS HOSIERY is SUBDUED
Open weaves Are Out of style
and Plain COIOrs Are
Popular.

Plain colors, with possibly clocks Of sub
dued hue, will be the ruling style this year
in hosiery, in contrast to the varegated
color schemes" of last season. Gay colors
may be had in mems hose and will, no
doubt, be worn to harmonic with the ex-
IRENE styles in colored shirts, but the tend
ency is toward subdued hue.
Plaids and other novelties are displayed
in profusion, but the solid colors and the
ever-popular blacks and tans will predomi-
nate, and the louder styles will not be
considered in good taste by those who pay
attention to the dictates of fashion This
is particularly the case to the man who
wears low shoes and displays a goodly por-
ton OF his hosiery TO view by the admiring
public.
The deadly mosquito has at last been
vanquished by the abandonment of the open
work or lace hosiery, which have been less
in demand for several years and are now
without popular support. It is deemed re-
markable that they were ever in great de-
mand on account of the discomfort expert
enced in. their use and their general I'M
cleanliness. The tendency toward the dis
use Of this style Of hosiery was very pro-
nounced last year and the up-to-date haber-
dasher does not carry a single pair of the
style in stock.

trope and blue skirts will be worn by many
discerning dressers, but brown hues will
be eschewed.
For extremely hot weather unstarched
shirts. with or without collars and cuffs,
will be worn a good deal and the silk shirt
Of soft texture will be as popular as ever
for undress wear.
The coat shirt has been firmly estab-
lished in masculine favor and nearly all
shirts Of good quality are made in this
convenient and comfortable style. Of
course, stiff white shirts are not to be rel
egated to the dress-suit class or entirely
| ignored, as this style is established from
custom Of many years among older men
and is as cool in appearance, If not in
reality, as many OF the more modern styles.
Gums and Collars.
The attached cuffs are also in the as
cendancy and some novelties are being
shown in the way Of reversed CUTS. A
novelty in material is a shirt Of linen with

| such as to be practically prohibitive for
| general wear.

changed to an appreciable extent, it has

with low neck has reason for apprecia-
ton, although the higher fold collars will
| be his salvation.
| The turnover collars are made with wide
points, and in fact the width OF all col
lars has increased considerably. The stitch
| ing will not be noticeable on the proper
thing in collars and the plain, indistinct
stitching will be the favorte, This style
will be a boon for the fat men.
In standing collars the wing collar will
be less popular than heretofore, although
its use has increased to a large extent
during the last few seasons, and the band
collar Of moderate height will displace the
wing. There are msny varieties Of the lat
ter style which will be worn indiscrim-
inately for business and dress wear during
the warm months. Straight standing col
lars for dress wear are the only proper
thing for strictly formal functions, but
even the points of these are being made
with an eye to comfort by affording the

SPRING oVERCcATS IN TAN
Light and Dark Grays Compete with
Popular Shade for First
Place.

Climatic conditions are not such in
Omaha as to require the extensive use of
the light overcoat except in the very early
spring, but their use is proving more pop
ular every year, following closely in the
wake of eastern customs.
The styles this year are being shown in
light and dark tans, whose utility has been
proven. but greater prominence is given to
coats Of light and dark gray fabrics. The
collars are often Of velvet, but usually Of
the same material as the coat and the use
Of the satin facing has been almost dis
continued.
The coats, following the general tendency
Of suits, are Of medium length and con-
sentative styles Of workmanship. They
hang very full, but with barely perceptible
clinging at the hips in the longer styles.

NEW IDEAS IN UNDERWEAR
bright COlors Take Place of Tinta
and Athletic suits Are
oRered.

Gaudy colors are the rule and not the ex-
ception in underwear and man arrayed
IN many OF the effects shown would nearly
prove a human Easter egg in appearance.
Blue, pink, purple bright yellow, and even
gorgeous red are some Of the startling
shades which are displayed IN the show
windows and meet with ready sale
The prices for the gaudy garments have
been brought within the reach Of all and
their popularity has been such as to ma
terially decrease the sales in the standard
lines Of balbriggan garments.
Recent novelties displayed are those In
all line fabrics and mesh, which, II is as
serted, are much more comfortable than
those Of other materials. But it has been
said that the corpulent person should be-
ware Of the exclusive use Of the meshed
underwear, as It is said TO have a ten
dency toward congestion in the most IN
comfortable portions Of the masculine
anatomy.
Athletic undersuits for the athletic man
are among the creations manufacturers are
striving to introduce. They present the
knee length loose drawers and a later idea
for undershirts. It is without sleeves, Of
course, the armholes being cut large so as
to give perfect freedom of motion, and the
tails come down CLAW hammer shape, re-
moving all tendencies to bunch" and all
| unnecessary cloth.
The fad has not been adopted to any
great extent in Omaha, but dealers assert
that as soon as its comfort is generally
/ known this peculiar style Of garment is
bound to meet with favor.
The drawers being less than knee length,
the use Of hose supporters of special de-
| sign is required, but the comfort and
freedom Of action allowed makes them
| highly desirable.
