world has been brought forth for display,

Easter sees her radiant in her spring

Never have the local shops displayed
the extravaganza in variety and in guam
tlty of wearing apparel that they show
this year Never was il less advisable
for the best drcsSers to go to New York
or any other place to obtain the very
newest and best the realm of fashion
affords This is true. not only Of the
materials and of the great snowy gowns
but of the little accessories Of dress that
appeal even more strongly to every well
dressed woman.
Here may be found the very velts. the
very neckwear and even the trinlzets Of
which the Paris Fashion letters treat.

The decree went forth some time ago
in the shirt waist line with the advent
Of the lingdrie waist with its laces and
embroideries. For time it seemed that
these essential articles of the fiminine
wardrobe We're to be relegated TO the
dressy girl alone. But it soon became
apparent that there was methOd-much
methOd-in the scheme. Not only are
the fancy things much more becoming
and daintier in every way. but they are
more economical as well Despite all pre-
JUDGES in favor. the stiff tailored waist
was an endless expense. 1t was SOiled
more easily and Numbered with more DIFF

So much for the general STYLES as shown

are the STYLES shown in New York and
even in Paris.
Hats Are Growing.
OF course the gorgeOusness of the ac-

headgear- In a general way all fash

large or very small, although it may
sGfely be said they are showing a de-

mer hats tend TO be built on more gen
erous scale than those of winter, but even
allowing for this, the general idea seems
TO be that the hats are growing.
Every kind of material is TO be used

Other New Shapes.
Another in the same shape is entwined
with a scarf of the new Dongee ribbon
with shadowy flowers outlined in Japa-
nese faintness. The back is filled with
clusters of yellow pansies and golden
fern, the pansies forming a heavy clus-

and what else are hats for?
Still following the princess style we
find a hat of heavy silvery tan straw.
