New York, March 23.-It is really
necessary to have at least two coat and
shirt costumes for the spring, and. be-
sides these, a handsome afternoon
gown of silk or embroidered pongee or
wolfe and a smart short walking dress
of foulard Or taffeta in the wardrobe
for the coming season. These frocks,
with their hats, should be all ready by
the 1st of April, for the real secret Of
dressing well is in having the appro-
pirate costume at the desired time, and
it is always trying to be overtaken by
the weather, so to speak, before ones
outfit is complete.
Again, there is a distinct line drawn
between short and long suits and each
style now is worn at certain times.
Walking and travelling costumes are
always smartly made to clear the
ground. Reception gowns are not
permissible in walking length. This
year all afternoon robes and those for

long skirts. 1t is always said that
spring reception garments are to be on
the most elaborate order, but a simple
style of dress will be found just as
smart and infinitely more serviceable.
Chiffons, crepes, etc., make most at
tractive frocks, but are unnecessarily
dressy save for those receiving at a
large reception or for the hostess her.
self at some more or less formal enter
tainment.
Striped and figured silks are in great
favor at present, and, as they have not
been worm to a great extent of late
years, they look new and will remain
in fashion nov for some times. Light
colors are more attractive for spring
than the more somber tones, which
have been worn all through the winter
months. 1t is well known that the
cause of the popularity OF the spring
wedding is due to the bright effect
given by the effective light rocks that
help so to give everything a festive air.
Material which is being smiled upon
by the dress authorities is the new
white silk ''linen This ma
teria1 is remarkable for the soft silvery
simmer on it's surface, almost like the
scales of a fish, but it is too costly
to outrival the ordinary linen, and
except for those who can afford
to snap their fingers at expense it
will be trimmed with thick Irish GRO

fancy veil pins that are SO popular.
The wraps of the coming season are
putting in appearance and are interest
ing in all their phases, from b travel
ing automobile coats of silk or tweed
to the elaborate CONNECTIONS in lace or
silk which will add beauty to elegant
toi]ettes. It is evident that the fanci-
full wraps of this last mentioned class
are to be more popular and more x
travagantly handsome than ever, and
the advance models shown by ex-
elusive houses are in many cases priced
at figured calculated to make the aver
age woman gasp. The lace coasts of
the finest grade are perhaps b most
costly of their kind, though hand en-
broidery brings some of the silk and
lace trimmed coats to b level of the
lace models in point Of price.
