Ties in Plaids and Stripes.

Cravats and ties are now exceedingly chic
and becoming. The most fashionable collar
of the moment is the high turnover. But
the newest feature is not SO much the COL
lar as the tie. Ties In every shade and
design of plaids and stripes are seen at all
the fashionable shops. The ties are made
to fit the collars and to accord with their
style to a large extent
With an embroidered collar, a high turn
over, were shown bows Of accordion plated
null and fine linen. These were plain white
or polka dotted in black and colors. These
bows were also made OF three pieces Of
lawn accordion plated and trimmed with
lace, bound together by knot in the CEN
ter.
The white embroidered collars in linen are
also worn with very large made-up bows
of Roman striped silk with four-in-hands
of the Roman silk and Scotch pIaids and
with quaint small bows of narrow striped
ribbon made with four loops, no ends and
two knots.
There are also plated sat nstocks of
white with the lower part Of plaid or strip
ed silk, ending in q four-in-hand or Windsor
tie. Other plated white satin stocks have
the lower part Of plaid silk ending in a
fat pair of crossed ends In front. Again the
plaid silk is used for the upper part OF the
stock, and the lower part Is made I'D of
plain silk. with the crossed tabs or a four
finland In front.

of the deep red tissue flowers that have
golden yellow centers and the dark green
crepe paper that represents the stem.
The skirt for this costume Is of accordion
pleated crepe paper, green. and hangs full
from the waist. At the bottom there Is a
border of large peoples made of red tissue
papers petals, with the yellow Seed-like
centers that give a decidedly natural ap-
pearance to the entire frock.
Like the skirt. the waist is green and
accordion pleated and thus forms a splen-
did background for the huge poppy that
is worn directly on the front of the little
gown. This flower should be large enough
to reach from the low-cut neck of the waist
half way down the skirt to the poppy Dor
der at the edge.
Small green crepe paper puffs will do for
the sleeves. and large poppy should make
an effective hat for little girl and will
be particularly becoming if she has dark
hair and eyes.
A simple dress. but one that will look
very pretty on the average small tot, is
a sweet pea frock.' It, like the others
accordion pleated. The trimmings are, Of
course, sweet peas, in delicate purple. pink
white and light red tissue. These are at
tached to a green vine fashioned from
milliner's wire, and are draped across the
little skirt and down the waist In festoons.
Short puff sleeves of green have clusters
of sweet peas for decoration, and large
bunch of these pretty spring flowers tied
with white or pink chiffon, worn on the
yoke Is effective. A peaked hat Of white
crepe paper, trimmed with sweet peas, puts
the finishing touch to remarkably pretty
costume.

LINEN COSTUMES
Will Be Quite Popular Again This
Spring.

BY A. i. Ashmore.
For some years now linen dresses have
been extremely fashionable for warm
weather. whether for a winter resort or
for midsummer and their popularity Will
probably continue this year, for they are
now in vogue in the south. SO are almost
sure TO remain smart throughout the en-
suing summer. There are many different
qualities of linen. some fine, others de-
cidedly heavy. and there arc numberless
materials as for example. taffeta batiste.
which come under the head of linen; and
these. one and ALL are very much in de-
mand for both afternoon and morning
wear.
There is the so-called shirt waist dress
in linen that will be so much worn next
summer but the material is trimmed
with lace and embroidery and the frock
gives little or nothing to suggest snort
waist. Many of these morning gowns are
made princess and few empire, but the
majority are comparatively simple. made
in two pieces with a narrow embroidered
or stitched belt or a wide ribbon glrdle
There Is nearly always Transparent lace
collar and wide cuffs. for the majority or
morning dresses now have long sleeves,
full at the shoulder, with deep lace or
transparent lingerie cuff.
For embroidering taffeta batiste is
even more satisfactory than linen and
this year it is seen trimmed with SOU
tache braid instead of embroidery. or has
the braid working in with the pattern of
the embroidery. 1t is effective to have
such hand work upon the skirt and
makes a handsomer dress, but at the
same time an elaborate skirt is not really
necessary and is bound to add much to
the expense. White linen gowns are al
ways most serviceable. and. of course, do
not fade, but with a moderately large
outfit there should always be a certain
number of colored morning dresses.
Suspender and guimpe models although
not exactly new, are still in favor They
are made on much the same lines as
formerly, except that wide embr oidered
girdle is generally seen on all the skirt,
or else a low corselet skirt is chosen.

You Should Eat Fruit.

If people ate more fruit they would need
less medicine and have better health. There
Is an old saying that fruit is golden in the
morning and leaden at night. AS a matter
of fact. 1t may be gold at both times but
then it should be eaten on an empty stom-
ach and not as a dessert, when the appetite
is satisfied and digestion is already suffi-
GENTLY taxed.
Fruit taken in the morning before the
fast of the night has been broken is very
refreshing, and 1t serves as stimulus to
the digestive organs. A ripe apple or an
orange may be taken at this time with
good effect Fruit to be really valuable
article of diet should be ripe, sound
and in every way of good quality and. IL
possible, it should be eaten raw, says Wo-
mans Life.
Instead of eating plate OF ham or eggs
and bacon for breakfast, most people would
do far better if they took some grapes.

Is to be had, and after that they can fall
back on stewed prunes. figs, etc. II only
fruit of some sort formed an important
item in their breakfast. women would gen.
orally feel brighter and stronger, and would
have far better compilations than Is the
rule at present.

DAINTY Flounces.

Lace fiounces and insertions will be much
used for frocks this spring and summer
Some of the pieces shown in the shops are
wide enough to make long trailing skirts
while other lengths are cut specially for the
waists and sleeves. These lace suitings are
made in both simple and elaborate designs,
some being plain enough for a debutante
while others are so decorative that they will
be appropriate for ball and dinner gowns.
The patterns in which these hounces are
made are mostly floral devices, with occa-
sional scroll or geometric figures to make
the whole more compact and elaborate.
With these dress laces the background Is
of net, with or without dots, and some Of it
is exceptionally fine, while others are Of

us that Women's forearms will be covered
with hair almost like paws. Only the girl
with scrawny, shapeless arms is happy
over this ultimatum, and I'm afraid hers Is
only postponed joy, for most women will
cheerfully run the risk of resembling g.

There are so few modistic straws about

let these ornaments be Of the wash crochet
variety, and it's good plan to buy them
early. as the supply has an unpleasant
fashion Of giving out at the wrong moment
Humiliating as such an admission may be,
the hint I have given concerning the sum-
mer wardrobe is all my stock in trade for
the moment. But IL fads and fancies are
scarce 1t Is reassuring to note the fact that
clothes generally are being brought to the
height Of fine art. We are getting learned
In silhouette and texture and color and all
the subtleties that decree the suitability
Of decoration to material. or the mate
rial to q decoration and the suitability of
one lace to another or laces to fabrics, and
the relation Of color to texture. Now all
this sounds very learned, and perhaps be-
cause OF Its intricacy the learned woman
with learned letters after her name Is not
despising the time spent on mere clothes.
She has found out the significance and in
terest OF dress. The appearance OF the
learned lady used to be misfortune to
herself and to others She wore skirts that
hung six ways for Sunday. clodhoppery
boots and impossible hats which made her a
laughing stock. Now the wider learning
and the better preparatory preparation in
the schools enable her to take her uni
versity life more easily, so the girl graduate
has buried her big boots, dresses her hair in
the prevailing mode and selects her tailor
and dressmaker with care. And who knows
but what the girl whose hair you think so
charming as you see her sitting in front Of
you at the theater may have some awe-in-
tractive little head But when she puts on a
fetching hat from the Rue de la Paix, well,
you love her still with all her uncomfortable
learning. CATHERINE TALBOT.

Fine lingerie and lace guimpes are still

In some way to be in keeping with the

most popular, because the most sensible

Linen coat and skirt costumes are every
bit as smart and as necessary for COM

must be one or two white suits in a
wardrobe, and certainly as many more
colored ones, for while white looks cool
est, the colored suits are most attractive
at this time of year. and all white has
been popular now for so long a time that
all colors are receiving undue welcome
this season. Both long and short Jackets
are worn and one style seems about as
popular as the other. The short coats
are rather deliberately trimmed, either
embroidered or braided all over, or at
any rate have lace collar and cuffs, while
the long ones are plain and short, or
three quarter in length with a fitted or
semi fitted back. Many of the linen
guimpes and suspender gowns have jack
cts to complete the suit, making a most
attractive costume
Lace and embroidered linen coats are
as fashionable as the first day they were
introduced Embroidered boleros in all
linen can be worn with any white skirt,
and of course, the lace Jackets are also
most serviceable. Long lace coats in both
black and white are too handsome to ever
go entirely out of fashion.

that more fair people than dark ones re-
main unmarried. and people residing in the
country have lighter hair than those who
live in towns, owing to the fact that they
are more in the sun and fresh air. Black
hair was most esteemed by the ancient
Jews, while the Greeks and Romans gave
the preference to the golden shades. Those
with dark hair work most those with fair
hair think the most. Red hair is sign
of passion, jealousy and ardor; auburn
shades Indicate delicacy and refinement OF
taste; dark brown hair combines strength
and susceptibility: while black hair denotes
hasty temper, self-will and revenge, says
Woman's Life. AS to complaints, some one
has said black-halred people are most liable
to consumption, brown haired to rheuma-
