Analostan Island for Park.
Washington should have the most
elaborate system OF public parks Of any
city in the world. Its parks should be
more than improved grass spots: they
should be real pleasure grounds. Much

looking over the opportunities for park
development one OF the most evident
and Impressive ones has been neglected

The possibilities Of AnalOstan Island
as public park instantly appeal to all
those who have had the pleasure Of
visiting Belle Isle at Detroit, Mich.
Formerly Belle Isle was a wild, uncul-
uvated island. lying midway in the
Detroit river between Canada and the
United States. Il was overTuu with
dangerous reptiles and altogether unin-
vitluE. Then the interest OF The people
was aroused and the city OF Detroit de-
/ tcr1nined that the island should be made
one Of the most beautiful spots In tht

ambition is a matter Of opinion. and

reason is all too true, but, Of course, we
appreciate its comforts, too.
Tan footwear was worn all winter by
smart dressers with severely tailored suits
of dark serges and natty English suit
ings Young girls especially effected this
style of footwear, and now that spring
is here and summer not far of, the tan
walking boot and pump are enjoying a
vogue which promises to overshadow that
of some 10 years ago, when tan shoes
were first introduced
Many OF the walking boots are high
15-button, they call them, Just as they say
20-button gloves. The cloth-top boot Is
novelty. The suede top is likewise new'
and will doubtless take better than the
cloth top because of its wearing qualities.
These novelty tops are shade or two
darker IN tone than the vamp of the
shoe and are matched with fine silk or
cotton or Isle hosiery.
The new pumps are distinctive In their
trimming of the tiniest leather bows,
which take the place of last years large
fat bow of ribbon or leather. Some
models are finished with a narrow braid
like beading edge. while others are
simply stitched around the edge. Tips
are seen, but the plain, round-pointed
toe is the better style.
This model is seen in black and col

1.-THE shoe business has undergone a
wonderful revolution in the past few
seasons" remarked the affable salesman
in an exclusive Broadway shop one day
last week, land we attribute 1t solely to
the short skirts which women-Amerlcan
wOmeu-are now wearing.
"You see, madam" continued this COM
municative person. with these short
skirts women must of necessity wear
good Shoes and not only good, but smart
shoes The old long skirt was menace
not only to health and cleanliness, but the
shoe business as well. Women bought
one pair of street shoes in those days
where they now buy three and four. Why
shouldn't we advocate the short skirty'
And from present indications 1t looks
as though the vainest hopes of the shoe
man were TO be fully realized.
Paris continues to wear long skirts, as
doubtless she ever will. The Parisienne
does not take to the short-skirted cos
tune, knowing that 1t does not be-
come her as 1t does the American
woman, who for once has failed to
emulate these promoters of the worlds
fashions.
Is II because we like the comforts Of
this short skirt, or, fashion-bound as we
are, appreciate the ultra smartness Of
the abbreviated skirt length in company
with the most fascinating footwear we

ors such as represented in the dress
fabrics of the season.
Natty shiny and dull kid button boots
are topped with cloth in black and white
striped pattern, white grounds with black
stripes and black grounds with white
stripes. These are made especially to
meet the demand which has followed the
popularity of striped tailored costumes
Large white buttons are seen on some
of these boots. but these being more or
less conspicuous, are passed by In favor
Of those with black buttons.
Aside from tan, colored shoes have
lost caste with women of refined taste and
individuality in dress, their place being
usurped by the patent kid boot With
black dull kid top or top matching IN
color the material OF the dress Such
shoes are for dTessy afternoon wear only,
The new hosiery is not as modest 40
its shoe companions. Stripes and even
checks are represented in a goodly num-
Der Of designs and colorings calculated to
rival the dress fabrics which they aim to
consort with In the summers costuming.
Bizarre as some OF these efrects may
be, they will not be conspicuous in the
wearing, for they are intended to ac-
company the high walking boot, leaving
the sheer, plain Isle to the company OF
the low pump or oxford.

having decided vogue this spring.
Fashionable women who went South In
February took this little princess In half
dozen lots-two pinks, two blues and two
whites, made exactly alike, fastening in
the front with large pearl buttons and
finished at the bottom with two or three
bias bands spaced from the knee down.

The coat fronts are loose and fasten
with the large buttons In double-breasted
fashion.
Automobile headwear all tends toward
mushroom effects. The leather cap or
bonnet finds little use In this year of
grace, its place being taken almost en-
tlrely by the hat Of straw. Cap effects
in straw are among the late novelties.
One mushroom shape In coarse tan
braid has the crown draped with long
brown chiffon veil, which hangs straight
down the back and is held In place with
a band of the braid which extends In
fence fashion three inches below the
back of the crown and down over the
coiffure. The back of the head is thus
well protected and the long ends of the
veil are drawn around to the front and
arranged to suit the wearer.
Still another novelty In straw. a soft.
pliable Milan, has the brim very short
In front aud wide In the back. This
back brim turns up close to the crown,
but is so shaped that 1t can be bent
down protectingy over the hair, forming
the most fascinating bit of auto headgear
yet seen.
A glove which recently attracted the
writer's attention because OF its extreme
novelty was a heavy, soft, pliable kid In
12-button length without they wrist open
ing. The arm was Jared In gauntlet
shape, and at the wrist were two-inch-
wide straps fastened to the inner side
Of the wrist with two tiny leather but
tons. which fastened with kid covered
patent glove fasteners on the top Of the
wrist, leaving the top OF the glove to
pleat In gauntlet fashion over the lower
sleeve.
Leather for the Utility Costume.

set In the top Of the collar, and known
as the Marie Antoinette rufie. 1t had
Its origin In Paris, and may or may not
attain vogue here There Is no ques-
ton about the fact that II is trying
style. Even a full frilled ruche is apt to
spoil the throat lines. and anything like
this deep rutie should be approached with
discretion.
One of the wtsest fads that fashion
able folks have adopted for a long time
is the building OF many Of the seasons
costumes along certain general lines.
There Is a difference In materials aud In
slight details OF trimming, but the gen
eral outline OF the costume remains the
same. This Is a fashion which French
women appreciate aud follow. II certain
lines and styles are becoming, why not
follow them In ell ones tollettes, rather
than change for less effective stylesf A
good example OF this Is the use Of two
piece princess. with full-length front aud
back panels, introduced last ysaE and
Los Angeles herald., 1907-04-28

Quite the newest thing in fabrics is
the vogue of striped linens. 1t bears the
stamp of the exclusive styles, models In
these striped linens being sent over by
the best designers in Paris. 1t is fash
ion likely to remain exclusive for this
season at least, since the supply of
striped linens is limited, and the great
shops seem to have cornered the market
In them. The patterns of these linens
are very much like the English worsteds
and siclliennes, being more or less regula-
tion stripes of blue, brown, gray ana
black combined with white.
Even newer than the striped linens
are the striped galateas and striped
sateens, as some Of the houses call them.
Francis sends us a smart tailored suit OF
tan and white striped galatea, with
touches OF red. We hardly need add the
last phrase, since Brancis has made
scarcely a tailored model the past two
seasons that has not borne this touch OF
red.
The neck Fuchs has a rival In

show the least wear and tear OF the
road and combine well with trimmings
In variety OF lighter tones. Red Is
favorite trimming color. 1t gives just
that necessary touch of dashy color
which the otherwise somber garment
needs. Those tan and gray rubberized
silk and satin garments of last year so
charaeterless In their monotone color
lngs are charming this season with
touches of brilliant red IN collar. cuffs,
belt and buttons. The fabric button
with bone rim in the trimming color Is
used exclusively on coats of this char
acter. Bits of effective braiding feature
strongly in some Of the best models,
Though the wraps Of plain materials,
waterproof satins, English siciliennes.
tussahs, lansdownes and similar light
weight, dust-repelling fabrics, are among
the smartest and most exclusive displays,
we must not lose sight Of the novelty
check, plaid and striped silks and sicll-
iennes which appear as the latest novel
ties.
In these, as in the plain fabrics. the
eolors run about the same. One of the
best auto garments seen this season Is a
full length coat of brown waterproof
taffetas plaided with black and red.
Brom/a round yoke extending well over
the ghoulderline hangs the all-enYeloping
circular skirt. The back OF the skirt Is
arranged in a wide watteau pleat. aud
covering the Joining OF yoke and skirt is
a Wide circular band trimming, giving
the graceful effect of a hood. The sleeve,
which is the unique feature OF this gar
ment Is the new mandolin model by
soloyici, OF the Rue de la Paix. The
top OF the sleeve is cut IN proportion to
the size Of the exaggerated armhole.
which exteAds several inches below the
natural waist line. 1t is circular In
shape and set into the armhole with but
a suggestion OF gathers, and the lower
part Is eased into band cum fastening
rather snugly around the wrist with
large brown bone buttons ana braid loops.

ors-T The Latest in Auto Gloves.

With France the birthplace Of the motor
,ar and its capitol the center of the
worlds fashions, 1t follows quite naturally
hat Paris should give us the best Ideas
In garments and accessories for auto
wear. Yet, strange as 1t may seem,
Paris, in the very beginning of this motor
furore, was responsible for those many
atrocities Of dress which not only the
foreign autoist wore, but we Americans
were forced to emulate. Happy the day
when designers oke up to the fact that
service aud utility could be combined
with smartness of cut and materials, and
beauty be introduced without In any
wise detractlng from the praeticability
of the garment.
The awakening was sudden, and the
promptness with which designers pro-
ceeded to make amends for past offenses
in a large measure made up for their
early failures
Today many OF the best fashion ideas
originate in auto wear. Automobile en-
thusiasts belong to the classes who have
money and are willing to spend 1t, and
being faddists, they insist upon novelty
In its most extreme form. Small won
der, then, that designers have become
their willing slaves. Many OF our suit
and costume models this season take their
best features from those novel auto coats
which came 10 these shores among the
earliest spring importations. The Japa-
nese tendency which has carried all be-
fore Il In the world of womans costum-
ing this season fnds Its most exag-
gerated expression In novel auto coats
varying In length from hip to skirt hem.
The shorter models are not favored as
strongly as those which quite envelope
the d ure In loose, flowing folds, yet
there are numbers OF attractive examples
OF little short coats or coates as they
are more often called, which viii be
worn to some extent for short city drives.
In materials the color tendency Is
toward grays and browns. colors which

these latter, of course, being given ad-
dltlonal weight by the soft flannel inter-
lining. The coat and skirt Of leather is
preferred by many autolsts 10 the long,
loose coat, and a splendid model of this
type Is shown In this instance. The
skirt is plain and of walking length, but
the coat shows a bit of dressiness in the
novel cuffs and sleeves, with their pip
ing of tan leather. half dozen shades
lighter than the brown of the suit. The
coat is rather tight fitting, and is made
with skirt which reaches almost to the
knees. Worn with this is a quaint poke
bonnet, covering the coiffure 80 emec-

OF for the weekend Trip.
The weekend trip is looked forward
to with much pleasure by the city
motorists during the spring and summer.
The tours at these dmes are, of course
but short, and the clothes are not neces-
sarily OF too severe a character. The
coat OF rubberized silk or satin, Ia 9
variety OF shades from the lightest tan
to the daepest brown, navy blue ana
even red, Is both smart and Serviceable.
One fetching model Is of tan colored
waterproof satin. with vest OF brown
satin trimmed with red and brown passe-
menterie, and buttons of the satin set
in brown bone rims at the end of simu-
lated buttonholes of soutache. The cen
trail figure OF the picture wears gray
rubberised coat. long and enyeloping,
buttoning closely around the neck, with
a wide turnover collar inset with red
leather, the fronts fastening with but
tons Of the satin set In red rims. The
third Of this happy looking trio wears a
similar model In brown, with trimmings
In a deeper shade. The bats exemplify
what Is most modish In automobile head
wear for this season.
