There are certain, so to speak, regulation

not look quite suitable out of their own
especial season. This year is to be no ex-
ception to the rule. for already there are
seen numherless afternoon gowns in all
grades of wolfe and all sorts of ponge
and rajah cloth that are exceedingly
handsome In themselves and look particu-
larly well. as they seem an integral part
or the coming spring. Plain voiles are
rather out of vogue, but there is a narrow
striped yelling to be had in all colors that
Is exceedingly smart. and then there are
the little checks. plaids and figured yoiles
that won such favor last spring. BY far the
majority of yelling dresses are made on
the empire models, and particularly with
the striped materials, the white line show
ing up we'll over the close fitted silk lining.
This model Is good one to follow Most
voiles made empire have high grdle of
silk or ribbon. but some are finished with
embroidery or lace applique, while in the
back a lace cape or collar trimming the

materials also keep up the popularity of
this style. which, say what one will. does
shorten and broaden out the figure.
Perhaps the empire style is seen at its
best in the evening, for a decollete gown
calls naturally for soft, loose lines, and
the long train which is so necessary a
part of this design Is always most suita-

models If these two terms are consistent,
there are some few made with comparative

LACK and white petticoats are to be
X very fashionable this spring and sum-
- mer for general wear under cloth
skirts and under those of dark silk or voiie
They are shown In both wide and narrow
stripes and in silk and satin or brocade' OF
with the black satin stripe on the White
silk ground. Black and gray stripes are
also very effective. Generally speaking the
broad stripes are handsomer They are
made usually with bias fiounce. although
sometimes the stripes run straight on the
hounce also. Some of these skirts have the
ruffles edged with ruchings of black.
Others are made with under rufties of plain
white or black silk, these being narrow and
fuller than the top founce. For street wear
with cloth skirts the best taste suggests no
more elaborate trimming than these silk
ruff1es and ruches. The idea is to have the
skirt sufficiently full and fluffy about the
feet to make the dress skirt set well. while
at the same time it retains the IN APP
pearance which is correct for the stree.
When the skirt is to be worn under silk
skirt or with an afternoon costume 1t is
now the fashion to trim it with narrow
black velvet ribbon, black or w.te lace
fiounces or flowers of chiffon, in
black or white. One handsome black and
white striped skirt of this sort had a
fiounce Of white taffeta, over which was
deep fiounee of black lace. Another skirt
whose upper part was of black and white
satin had ffounce of white taffeta with
white chiffon iounce over this. the latter
being trimmed with black velvet ribbon
put on in points and supplemented with
narrow black lace insertion.
Lingerie founces are the most attractive
decoration for the light silk petticoats
which are worn for afternoons d even
ings with fine light colored dresses. The
lingerie ruffie has come to be favorite
piece of handiwork for those gifted with
the needle. The skilled needlewoman puts
less embroidery upon it than in former sea-
sons. the vogue at the present moment cali

Spring Is this year SO unusually early that
cloth gown will not be at all amiss for
the first Of the Easter weddings. and it is
now possible to procure cloth OF such an
exceedingly light. fine quality that the
gown will be little heavier than silk. White
cloth or q pale shade of blue. mauve, pink
or green is exceedingly pretty always. and
when 1t can be worn with a light ruche In
stead Of furs and a charming fower-trim-
med leghorn there is more attractive
style OF dress. There are embroidered
cloths this year that are really beautiful in
their workmanship and of such fine quality
of cloth as would be possible to wear even
during the summer months. Then. too
there Is SO much lace on the waist. with al
ways a transparent collar and yoke, and
the majority OF cloth gowns are made with
chiffon cloth or net sleeves, that there
is little to fear from their warmth. The
first empire cloth gowns were, 1t must be
confessed, rather dreadful, but the dress
makers were firm in their opinion that
the style was a good one and presented
great possibilities that they finally sue
ceeded in evolving most attractive style
of dress, while still keeping comparatively
well within the limits of the prescribed
model. The cloth empire dress does not
