| lishments The late offerings repre-
sent styles which designers have got
ten up since the first of the year to
act as leaders in tho department
stores. Many OF them are in high col
ors and the pastelle shades IN broad
/ cloth suits and costumes are again
shown as favorites. II appears that
tho princess and empire styles for
general use are passing and that OF
the directoire style Of gown is coming
into the lead For suits, the Elton
jacket and the pony jacket styles in
all colors and fancies are moving sat
isfactorily. Manufacturers are charg.
ing up large orders and in their cut
/ ting rooms the spring orders are he

prOmptness. In misses lines the de-
livery for spring to date has been un.
usually prompt and for this reason
the strong recorders coming to hand
can be handled.
The new color cards put gray at the
foot OF the list and give the place Of
honor TO all the mustard shades.
Iellows, with brown tones, and brown
with yellow in their makeup. are in
the lead while green in reseda, goslin
and other vivid tints are also in the
fore. Broadcloths In strips and the
linen checks are in many smart COM
binations OF color. A ground of yell

brown and royal blue in narrow line
effects, and the same colorings are
shown with the lines making over.
plaids of various sized checks. Mus
tard with similar lines of brown and
green or black and olive is another
variation.
Already the new silks and veilings
are being shown and the majority OF
these are so attractive in both pattern
and coioring that there is every rea.
son to expect season noted for its
costumes. Foulard. from all present
! Indications will be extremely smart
this year. although IL has been rather
out of favor for some time. SO many
OF the newest models call for a ma
terlal that is rather soft and clinging
and easily draped that stiff silks will
ce in nearly as great demand as was
the case OF last year. Foulard is only
appropriate for a rather severe style
of dress-that is, one rarely uses foul
ard in a reception or luncheon cos
tune. For q rough and needy shirt
waist dress this goods is excellent,
az even the less expensive quality
wears admirably and the silk is gen.

The polcadot OF last spring and
summer have given way to stripes of
all widths rrd cours. There is the
one inch stripe and the narrowest
threadake band OF colors, and some OF
the fonlards have stripes OF graduated
| widths arranged In clusters or verg-
ing gradua' from wide to narrow
Good effects can be obtained in the
| wide tucks by J ding the solid color
together wherever the material needs
to be gathered in, as about unc waist
and hips. Sometimes the stripes are
in two OF more tones OF the same
shade, and again the white stripes
against any color desired Is seen. The
so-called Alice Blue is to be one of
the foremost spring tones, and naure
and a pastel green will also be con-
spieuoCsly numerous. Brown and gray
are not apt TO be effective in a plain
silk gown, but in the mere delicate
tones will be popular in lightweight
cloth and yelling costumes.
A satin finish. or at least a certain
amount of sheen, Is noticeable on
nearly every kind OF spring material.

is always more effective than a dull

less trimming-often a decided adj

Many OF the newest models show
some pastel tints, others match the
