Leaf designs in embroideries are very
new and striking among the spring i'm
portations.
Some of the new white cloths are so
silky that they resemble crepe de chine
IL texture.
The long used checks have cropped
out again in suitings and certain of
the silks, notably the foulards.
Many of the new tailor-mades ready
for southern wear show the popular
hip-length coat and the jaunty little
eton.
Satin stripes and bars on silk and
wool grounds are especially prevalent
among the voiles and other sheer cling
ing fabrics.
Stripes and cross-barred effects are
as much in favor as ever. Checks, dots
and spots are also numerous in the best
classes of fabrics.
Gray and white striped marquisette
IS among the new shOwings of spring
dress material. 1t is delightful in its
Sneer, Silky beauty.
New plaids in ginghamS are charm
ing, nor are the tartans the only va
rieties. Sizes vary from quite large
pattern down to the smallest of checks.
Mechlin lace, both in fiounces or as
an Overdress. seems to go exceptionally
well with these same oriental satins of
oh do
this winter
The rough pongees have come back
with re-enforcements. Heretofore the
majority of them have been plain, but
this season they are plaided, blocked
striped and cross-barred.
Like rajah in weave, though of a
much higher luster, is a new silk ma,
teriaI 1t is made only in the light
pastel shades, so will be used more fol-
afternoon and evening Irocks than for
street suits.
Loose coats reaching an inch or two
below the waist line are also smart
These are seen in stylish linen suits
for Southern travellers. When we'll cut
easy and graceful, they are chic beyond
words.
The woman whose fancy does not
lead her to appear in any of the eXag,
gerated couture ornaments of the sea
son contents herself with exquisite
combs, barettes and hairpins most del
icately chaste and inset with jewels.
Small bows of orange velvet adorr
q lace blouse worn with a white clOtt
suit The girdle is also of orange vel
vet and the whole is worn with ermine
furs and an ermine tOque showing a
CLINT of orange in its trimmings
The foulards shown are decidedly
pretty, and, unlike those that have
been worn the past two or three sea
sons, few of them are in floral design
instead, the backgrounds are of wide
or narrow stripes, with geometric OF
scroll patterns.
BIouses of soft white oriental satir
cleverly treated with lace and in the
shape of chemisettes and yOkes are
very chic. Many jaunty little effects
are gained by inner waistcOats of hand
embroidery or velvet, surplice fronts
OF the satin or plastrons embroidered
or inset with lace.
