Spring Suggestions in the Shops

II MONG the new spring suitings the
n plaids and stripes are most promi-
nent; but they are entirely different
from the plaids and stripes of last sea-
son. The new designs are very large
in effect. No checks are shown, ex-
cept those so large as TO be practically
plaids. The plaids are very open and
in light colors. many on white grounds.
Others are in grays and tans. pale
green. with tan. red and tan or red aud
white, etc. Yellow and tan is another
favorite combination, the yellow rather
vivid in the smaller lines on a tan
ground. All the black and white ef-
fects are most popular. The striped
designs are not so open as the plaids.

are not wildly contrasting In many
cases they are of the same color, in
slightly varying shades.

New Lingerie in Partisan Designs

- HIS Is the season Of the year
when most women who are at
all clever with needles begin to
replenish their stock of lingerie,
for from now until spring is the best
time for getting in ones sewing. since
out OF door pleasures arc not very pos
sible.
Some OF the new garments which the
French shops are showing are most
elaborate, but the general trend OF the
fashion seems to be toward an effect
Of comparative simplicity, with ex-
treme fineness OF material and hand
work. There is not so much embroid-
cry used as there has been, although
little fine embroidery is used in most
garments with the lace. The fashion
OF using several kinds of lace on one
garment, which has ragged for some
time, seems no longer so dominant, al
though the style is still used One
kind Of fine real lace combined with
little very fine embroidery is consid-
cred the best style Of trimming in the
new French garments.
Pale pink and pale blue lingerie is
highly popular, being shown in ba-
tiste, handkerchief linen, silk muslin,
Aotton crepon, etc. A most attractive
corset cover in pale pink was cut very
low, with a round neck, finished IN Va
lenciennes edging. Beneath this was
fine beading for narrow pink ribbon.
A band of insertion sloped down from
r4ze armhoies toward the front of the
waist. Between the insertion and the
beading was a plain oval piece of the
material having a delicate embroidery
in white. Beneath the band Of inser-
ton the material was slightly fuiled
on.
Very attractive corset covers are
made with the entire upper part or
lace. very slightly fulled, the upper
edge OF the lace having design
through which a drawing ribbon can
be run. Broad ribbons cross over the
shoulders and fasten with bows in
front. The lower part OF the waist is
of fine French batiste made rather
scant.
Night gowns of the colored batiste
are also most charming One OF pale
bille had a shallow round yoke, en-
broidered in white, with a row OF Va
lencfennes above and below this. Va
lenciennes rufies edged the neck and
sleeves. The sleeves were full, tucked

excursion and the principal question
to be settled is that the gown shall bE

be light enough to be worn with com
fort on hot days.
With the exception of the simple
morning frocks (and they are not many
in ngmher), the gowns to be purchased
must be on the elaborate order, verging
closely on the style of the theater or
restaurant dinner gown. No one color
or material is obligatory, and there Is
a great variety to choose from. There
is the rather severe princess or empire
gown, or a sort of compromise between
the two, the front and sides close fit
ting and the back left full from the
shoulders. As may be surmised, this
same fashion is A rather trying style,
excepting to the woman of perfect
figure, and ii is rather too severe and

have resulted in victory for the former

having the visitors completely at his

netted the visitors fye runs and the
game. The features OF the game were
Sibley's home run hit, Eisenhard's

who put up brilliant game at third
base. The umpire had troubles galore
in pleasing the players and was severe
