Of Interest to Madam.

DO you know" said an elderly dame
recently, II don't believe that half of us
know what a big debt we owe to the de-
partment stores Of today Just take a
walk through the shopping district and
view the windows. One sees charming
gowns displayed, with all of the latest
and correct accompaniments. If it is
street costumes that fill the window, then
the umbrellas, handbags, hats and all of
the little etceteras are sure to be of the
very latest mode, and If you will stop and
study them for a minute you will be sure
to get an idea or u wrinkle that you can
use afterwards yourself.
Then take the new fashion that they
have of fitting up miniature apartment
the better to display their furniture and
housekeeping stocks. Why the other day
l sent my waitress down to Cash & Cred
It's just to see the way that they had the
dining table set. And the dear old darky
nanny in charge of the little rooml
Well, what she did not know about the
very latest things in table settings would
not be worth tucking away in back hole
Of your memory. She took a fancy to
my waitress and, opening up the side
board, she showed her ali of the new sill

are about half a dozen new kinds
showed her the right glasses for the diff
ferent kinds of wine and really gave her
a lesson that should be worth dollars.
Los Angeles herald., 1907-03-24

"And then, to crown the event, she
brought out a table top, SET it. on a cou-
pie of chairs and told Fanny 10 set 1t for
herself. The silver that she had there,
and all of it solid, too, l would be de-
lighted to get for a gift. She criticised
the way that Fanny did it, showed her
how to do better, and nnally brought
out n perfect stock of ribbon decorations,
artificial smllax, some of that new French
fern--it is natural and preserved in some
way that 1t looks absolutely fresh-and
showed the girl half a dozen different
ways to dress the table for festive occa-
sions.
And all that in a dry goods storel Need
less TO add, my dears, that l shall pur-
chase everything that l possibly can there
hereafter, They won't have lost on that
lesson by me. | reckon that there are n
great many women In this town who
would never know just the right way to
do a great many things If the big shops
did not teach them. And yet you never
hear Of them claiming to conduct an edu-
cational campaign or to spend so much
money annually for missionary service.
And yet that Is Just what they are
doing They are conducting campaign

might call them-and / for one am not
ashamed to say that | have learned quite
lot of things from them, even II l did

This season it is not so much what ma
terial is used as it Is the mode and man
ner of its making that will declare the
frock q SUCCESSOR otherwise.
That there is choice in material, Of
course goes without saying, and the
counters are piled high with diaphanous
fabrics of all sorts and styles and col
ors until the eye is bewildered with the
complexity presented.
Sheer, sheerer and sheerest seem to be
the only adequate way to describe the
latest arrivals from fashion land. The
voiles and marquisettes are even more
TRANSPARENT than before, so that one will
really have to order two gowns-one of
silk and the other of voile or mar
uuisette-when such materials are chosen.
By every steamer models from the
famous houses of France are arriving,
and 1t is delightful to note the smart
simplicity that adheres to even the most
expensive of those foreign creations.
While the shirtwaist suit and the jumper
frock are both of them American inven-
tions, having their origin, their launch
ing and their vogue almost entirely on
this side of the Atlantic, the best max
ers abroad have not been slow to take
the hint and are now sending us over
models of our own invention-but in
a glorifed design, of course.
For school girl wear the speciality shops
are showing extremely attractive little
frocks of the jumper order done In
shelma cloth. This seems to be some
thing between a henrietta and a broad
cloth, light in weight, but strong enough
to be serviceable for school use. That
the guimpe idea is used for all 1t Is
worth in these can readily be under
stood, and the best makers are provid-
ing two or three sets of guimpes and
undersleeves to go with each frock.
The chiffon weayes In mohair, too, are
receiving share of fashionable atten-
ton, too. Chiefly in the delicate tint
ings are they being used, although the
plads are highly popular as well. In
soft raspberry, rosewood and copper
tints those silky materials are at their
most attractive best, and when piped-
as most of them are-with tiny edges OF
black, white and some contrasting color,
all cleverly grouped, even the simplest
an air of elaboration.
And this matter of pipings Is quite
worthy of consideration. They add but
little to the labor on a gown, but they
do add quite tremendously to the result.
No matter what the body color of the
gown may be, there is quite a fancy for
using black piping, then a narrow border
of white, and then the color that either
matches or contrasts best with the funda-
mental color of the frock. Occasionally
very narrow gold or silver soutache is

designate an evening hat. OF this latter
character, however, are the chapeaux de-
signed for bridesmaids use at several of
the weddings that are planned for i'm
medlately after Easter, and where one
plume did duty last season this year it
takes three of that same size, and prefer
ably each one of a different though har-
Ionizing color. For instance, smart cha
peauX have been ordered In which the
brims are fashioned from real lace col
lars, the crowns covered with white
roses, and three plumes, a white one in
the center, n chamols yellow at one side
and pale blue at the other, will be worn
at coming wedding by the attendants on
the bride. Both families being of Revo-
utionary stock, 1t Is to be n buff-and-
blue wedding, and the plumes in the cha
peaux carry out the Idea.
Buckles are destined to play very I'M
portant part in the trimming schemes;
ana broad velvet ribbons are expected
to be very much in evidence. There is
a certain richness to a velvet ribbon that
does not seem to attach to any other
sort, no matter how expensive 1t may
really be- and when drawn through a
rhinestone or a cut steel buckle the ef-
feet is all that could be desired.
Leghorn hats are scheduled for an i'm
mense vogue, and the tlnts shown are
far deeper than we have been accustomed
to for some time. In the early shOwings
there is usually a velvet facing to the
under brlm, the heaviness of this re-
leyed by ruchlng of couple Of rows
of Vaenciennes or Mechlln lace along
the outer edge. All sorts of shapes and
effects are shown, from the stiff tailored
hat for shirtwaist wear TO the romantic
and picturesque affairs that are intended
for carriage and garden party use later
on.
Most, II not all, Of the new models
declare decided preference for some
part of the trimming to fall on the hair
in the back; and this Is so variousy and
so cleyerly managed that there is no dan
ger of its becoming too popular, and
therefore monotonous, early In the season.
From a fingers length of ribbon Tossed
out at the end to an elaborate trail Of
roses, buds and foliage that may drop
to the shoulder It is all a matter OF taste,
occasion and becomingness; but thar
there must be some sort of a trimming
at the back Is already foregone conclu-
sion.
Los Angeles herald., 1907-03-24
Modes Of the Picturesque Type Flow
ers Replace Feathers for Early Spring
Wear The Hat and the Hair.

There is a sweet reasonableness appar-
ent in the models that are daily arriving
on these shores from France. If one is
to Judge by the advance guard of those
fascinating chapeauX, that fine frenzy
which gave vogue to hats worn on the
bias, hats tilted down over the eyes ana
hats worn rakishly over one ear, has al
together subsided; and the new crop OF
headgear Is such that need not make one
ashamed to have photograph taken In
one of them, and boldly acknowledge IL
two or three seasons later.
The millner and the coilfeur seem TO
have gotten their heads together when
manning the modes In millinery for the
new season; for never before have we
had so many models devoted to the wear
ers of varying styles In hairdresslng. only
last season the girl WIKI classlcal tea-
lures and a Madonna parting In her nalr
found IL almost impossible to get hat
10 suit her hair and her face. AS one
of them said when after trying on"
hats before the milliner's mirror for the
hest part Of an hour: II simply cannot
GO out with any one Of them on They
all make me look like saint suddenly
turned sinner, and most wofully wicked
one at that"
The very large chapeau, and the tiny
one that seemed merely an imitation OF
NAT, are Dotu NVHSP'SN N""''' ,,t
from the new show, and one shrewdly
suspects that there are none to mourn
their absence. A moderate size ana a
moderate amount Of trimming Is the
latest mode but both hat and trimming
must be Of the very best quality or
the desired result is not achieved.
The little mushroom shape Is holding
its own manfully against all newcomers

from deep rich golden yellow at the tip
to clear white at the other end. Little
rhinestone buckles are used effectively to
catch feather and bow.
New Turn of the CnnOtleF.
Small hats of the turban order are ex-
tremely becoming to some types OF face,
far more so than any other shape could
possibly be. To such the new reversal of
form in the canotler will be welcome,
since it affords all Of the becomlngness of
the tiny turban, with the added novelty of
the little mushroom hat. Such is the
model of the picture, in which fine white
chip is mounted upon wire frame to
produce the required effect. There is a
shlrred facing Of white malinette under
the brim, and the bandeau that extends
all the way around the headsize is ruched
with the same frothy material. Soft pink
roses and foliage in the natural tints dec
crate the fiat tops; and the palest of pink
loulsine ribbons are tied in n stiff bow in
the back, the Tossed ends failing on the
coiled hgure-of-eight that extends from al
most the nape Of the neck to the crown OF
the head.
Real Lace and the Three Feathers.
In the modes of last season single
plume, II Ii We're of sufficient length and
thickness, was deemed ample trimming
for dress chapeau. This season, quite
In keeping with the general trend toward
extravaganza, three plumes are the fay-
ored quota, and that they must be thick
as to hue and of goodly quality goes
without saying. In accordance with the
changing style of eoiffure, the short-front
chapeau is the one that is selected most
ly for carriage and evening wear. The
bandeau in the back Is still an important
Item, and the bulk of the trimming Is SO
posed that Il leans toward the back of
the hat. The charming one pictured Is
done in white tulline, with a piece OF
good Brussels lace TO cover the tulle-
wreathed frame. Pale blue velvet ribbon

Real Lace and Ostrich PIumes.
Small capote shapes are what the max
ers Of the mode turn out just now for
theater wear, whether they are to be worn
during a matinee or an evening perform
ance. Although they do look like the usual
mans description Of hat-a bit OF lace,
a knot Of ribbon and feather-their cost
is usually out of all proportion to their
material and size. II is that indehnable
thing called style that one has to pay for
In those extravagant little items of the
wardrobe, and It is present TO delightful
degree in hat Of Brussels applique that

to be trimmed In all of the big shops;
and the fact that 1t demands but n scant
amount of trimming on top will be sure
to make 1t favorite with those to
whom the matter of millinery expend-
lures is food for much thought.
While in the late winter shapes that
heralded in the spring ones there was
but little evidence Of the bandeau, later
arrivals show 1t fully as important and
as prominent as ever. 1t is the all-around
bandead, however, that leads, the ono
that goes all the way around the head
size. Most of them, though, are tilted
quite high In the back, narrowing to
almost Nothing in the front; but the
chapeau that dispenseR altogether and en-
tirely with the bandeau does not seem to
hnd any recognizance at the hands of
the modsh milliner.
The short front chapeau, the one that
looks as though 1t once had project
Ing brim in front, but accidentally got 1t
chopped Off, is prime fayorite with
those who follow fashion In all OF her
most audacious moods There is GER
tain piquancy to the mode when well
worn that commends 1t to some; but few
there be who can wear 1t after this
fashion. 1t takes a low and broad fore
head, oval contour OF features and
certain classic regularity of outline to
carry this trying style well-but then
this same type of features would carry
anything at all well, and so comparisons
were mvidious.
One thing that the clever observer will
see at almost the FIRST glance is that most
of the trimmings are posed at or towards
the back Feathers when they are used
are so arranged that their tips most usu-
ally are draped over a back that projects
somewhat, and their curly fues mlngle
with the frOthy mass of tulle or malinette
that decorates the under part Of modlsh
hat.
Another point is that for daylight use
flowers are the favored mode; while real
lace and long feathers are employed TO
