Ssrviceable Black Gown.

A good model in a black gown and one
which will stand any amount of wear and
tear Is made in fish net with trimmings of
broad black ribbon velvet. At the feet a
deep entredeux of chenille and zouave OF
the same on the bodice opening over Venise
guipure-old II you have It. The sleeves are
copied from the pictures of Gabrielle d Es-
tres. for the sleeves of that period are
much in vogue.
There are mighty pretty forlard silks in
the shops at reasonable prices that make up
into the most attractive kinu of summer
dr,asses-in fact silks of the soft, glossy
type have almost ousted voiles from favor
for smarter costumes. The skirts of these
dresses are often plain and of sweep length
with the trimming reserved for the bodice,
which is generally of the Jumper order.
All the gowns In the illustration are of silk
made in the style just described.

broadcloth and trimmed with narrow bands
of knife-pleated golden brown satin and
very narrow Irish edging. There were rows
of the pleated satin and the edging around
the bottom OF the skirt, up the front and
around the yoke. The most peculiar feature
of the coat were the sleeves. which were
very long and wide and shaped like kimono
sleeves. They were not caught in at the
cuff but fell free and were much wider at
the bottom than at the top.
They were fiat and small at the arm
holes. The sleeves fell in points on the
lower edge, the upper part being caught
up in the center into pleats and fastened
with rows of the satin pleating and lace.
These reached from the upper part of the
armhole to the lower edge of the sleeve.
There are also most fascinating fancy
frocks for children among the new impor-
tations. Among these are many made with
separate gUimpeS and sleeves of lace or en-
broidered muslin. One such dress was of
white bengaline silk with dull finish. made
box pleated and very long WASTED. in a
Russian blouse effect. The belt of the silk
was trimmed with fancy stitching and
French knots and was run through loops.
The three-quarter sleeves, of medium full
ness, were not fastened into cuff They
were finished with a trimming of French
knots With this frock were worn a. guinpe
and sleeves of Irish lace.
For larger child there was a -frock Of
white embroidered muslin. There was a
new idea in the trimming of this frock
which might wen be utilized for a num-
Der of summer costumes for both children
and adults. The muslin or batiste was EN-
broidered in a striped design, stripes of the
plain goods alternating with the embroid-
cred stripes. For trimming the embroid-
cred stripes had been cut out of the ma
terial and were used crosswise to the de-
sign-that is. the stripes in the material
ran up and down, but the embroidered
bands had been cut out and were used for

wraps. to speak more correctly. in the
theater wrap, which is decidedly reminis-
cent of old days. The double cape on the
circular order but cut away in front, is
favorite for this spring, and while. as has
been said. it is not generally becoming ex-
ceptng to woman who has naturally slop-
ing shoulders, it is expected that it will be
worn by square-shouldered women as well.
Fortuna tely, the best of these models have
rather graceful lines, that there is more
excuse for the fashion than exists in many
of the models intended for the gowns These

to make the figure look thick as when the
arms are held down the fulluess of the
sleeve extends to the waist line, thus hiding
anything but sharply defined. small waist.
Almost all gowns and wraps are made with
the shoulder seam is very long, SO that the
sloping shoulder has come back into fash
ion. There are some women who are blessed
with fairly slopinS shoulders and who look
well in this style of dress, but it requires

looking rather dowdy with the long Shout
ugly features of this fashion many of the
waists and jackets are trimmed In such
way that there folds over the shoulders
of trimming or of the material of the gown
itself, and these folds are draped to
give a little more height than when the
waist literally falls down below the Shout
der line.
The sloping shoulder effect is shown to
the greatest advantage in the new evening

@LOTHES for children for spring and
summer wear are now bein.- sent over
from the foreign modistes, and also
turned out by the large American houses
in such quantities that il is possible to get
a very good idea of what the fashionable
child's clothes to be ike. There seems
to be a great deal of richness, both in the
material and decoration of the new gar
ments. Picturesque effects in headgear are
very dominant, while among the frocks
and coats are surprising number of gar
ments made entirely of Irish lace, certainly
an extravaganza fabric for Juvenile wear.
The little lace coats and frocks are indeed
beautiful, and although generally speaking
they would seem too extravagant and elab-
crate. there are occasions when they would
be in order. for instance, when the child is
to go out in the carriage on fashionable
thoroughfares
1t is the fabric itself which makes the
fashionable chld's lace froc6 and coat
elaborate, for. as il to make up for any
over-elaboration of effect in this, the gar
ment is usually made up along very simple
lines. This does not de;ract from the ex-
pensiyeneSs of the garment. however, for
these tiny frocks are put together with the
greatest skill. so that the design of the frock
and that of the lace acceHtuate each other
by the method OF arrangement
One little frock so arranged was made of
all-over lace of very open mesh, though
heavy In quality; and this was trimmed
with bands of very heavy lace having a
strong, simple design and put on like ap-
plique. The frock was very long wasted.
with a very shallow skirt. 1t had shall
low square yoke of the heavy lace, and
from this vertical lines of the lace ran down
TO the shallow skirt. The belt came far be-
low the waist line. The belt was formed
by horizontal band of lace and there were
two such bands about the bottom of the
skirt. The sleeves were very short and fin

Though the time has gone by when a
lace petticoat spelled immortality. yet gar
ishly trimmed underskirts look ridiculous
and out of place in a muddy London street.

~ ASTER DAY and Easter gowns al
ways are connected in the minds
- of the majority of individuals, and
A whether or not it is fashionable to
appear In a new costume on Eas-
ter day. none the less does almost every
woman make an effort to have her clothes
which she intends for spring wear made
and finished by Easter, in spite of the fact
that Easter this year comes very early and
thin clothes are going TO be extremely I'M
comfortable. Pride is supposed to feel no
pain. and the proverb applies especially to
the wearing of spring clothes, which are
dear to the heart of every woman; and con-
sequently tailors and dressmakers are
rushed to death in order to fill all the or
ders that are being heaped upon them.
First and foremost in the spring "dtft
comes the tailor costume no longer severe
in outline. but made in cloth. with Ger
tain tailor effect to it, so that II shall be
distinct from the yelling and taffeta gowns
made on a more elaborate order. but this
by no means should convey the idea that
cloth gowns cannot be just as elaborate as
any others. Only. as has often been stated,
light cloths, in spite of their very light
weight, are not so useful in summer as
the thinner materials.
From the very best authorities come the
news that the separate waist Is no longer
fashionable; that every smart gown must
to match, and yet again is fashion proved
to he wrong in so far that never We're there
so many different models for separate
waists as there are this season. and these
can be worn with any sort OF gown-the
severe tailor made, the more elaborate veil
ing. and even with the silk skirt The lin
gerie blOuses are exquisite; if possible more
exquisite than last year, more elaborate
and extremely effective, while the eEbroid
cry is of the finest. Then once again have
come into fashion the bOned and fitted
waists of silk and lace combined or of net
and lace. or net and silk; in fact. there does
not seem to be any material that cannot be
combined with one or two others. while the
variety of Colors is endless.
The silk blOuses or waists that are in style

they were intended for waist to match a

In Behalf Of Tourlna Public.

Secretary of the Treasury Cortel-
you has planned an improved system
Of baggage inspection which is likely
to increase enormously his popularity
with the touring public. He believes
that many of the annoying and embar-
rassing features now attending the
search of baggage brought from
abroad may be done away with, to the
advantage of the service and without
involving risk of loss TO the govern
ment. Passengers on incoming ocean
steamers, says Troy IN. " Times,
will no longer be rounded up" in the
cabin at the end of the voyage and be
obliged to swear to the contents of
their trunks. bags and suit cases, but
blanks will be distributed early in the
voyage and there will be opportunity
for leisurely preparation on list OF
foreign articles. The statements will
be placed In the hands of responsible
officers, and each passenger will re-
ceive coupon with a corresponding
number. This coupon, handed to an
inspector on the dock, will be the
voucher for the passengers good faith.
There will be no swearing as to dutia-
BILE or nondutiable articles, and much
time will be saved and Inconvenience
avoided. OF course the new system
will not exempt anyone from penalties
for smuggling. The government sim.
ply gives the passenger courteous
treatment, expecting compliance with
the laws In return.

Baby Rules a Street.

One of the curiosities of downtown
streets is baby in swaddling clothes,
says the New York Times. An infant
of tender age appeared on Nassau
street the other day in the arms of its
nurse. 1t attracted no end of atten-
tion, men and women of all ages and
all conditions of life turning to look
at 1t. In the opinion Of everybody, ex-
cept the immediate relatives, II was a
very ordinary baby; 1t was the mere
fact that it was a baby and was TAX
ing an airing in business streets that
made 1t an object of general interest.
Babies, no doubt, are so thick in the
home nelghborhoods of some Of those
people who turned to stare that It is
hard to walk without falling over one
or more OF them; yet so seldom is a
baby seen in downtown streets that
its occasional presence there is cause
for general wonderment
