They are pretty in plaids, stripes or
mixtures or in a plain color that may
be relieved by a bright or contrasting
color
Fur coats in natty, runabout length
are made in military, half-fitting or
DoN models. They are usually braided

the neck and also for the cuffs Long
coats of caracal are fashionable and

EmbrOideries in Russian, Greek,
Swiss and Chinese designs are the
popular trimmings of the season.

broideries are used more than the 9TH
ers at present, and these are beautiful

Stripes are rapidly coming to the
front, especially in thin materials. A

Wavy figure running through the back
ground.
Chiffon shawls are shown in delicate
| shades of violet, cream, green and
| blue with wide borders beautifully
| worked in all imaginable colors, but
of course in very soft tints which har-
monte with the chiffon. A scarf of a
! pale silver tone was made of silk
null with a border of misty flowers.
| Two yards is the usual length, which
| is just right to put around the Shout

| The new materials for spring, especial
J ly the thin ones, are certainly charming
| and when made up into gowns they will
| be still more attractive. In Silks SatlnS
! and crepe meteors and libertys, change
able effects is the noticeable feature. The
! luStrOuS crepe de chine shows garlandS
| OF flowers and festoOns thrown over the
| surface. Foulards are showing for the

with an overdesign of a Greek key or

Linen dresses will be much worn
through the coming season. The skirts
are short. very short, and fit tightly
| around the hips with a few plaits at the
foot. The coat, to be really smart, must
| be of the cutaway order, showing ra-
ther elaborate waistcoat. This latter is
made of some lowered material such as
| chntz. cretonne. silk or satin. The coat
| is fastened by one or two buttons but
| is more often let fly open and so display

mustard will be very popular and all
| the yellows from ivory to champagne,
and from cream to the deepest buff.
Cloth dresses are now seen at all the
dressy afternoon occasions and their no
| ticeable feature is the little cOatee that
accompanies them. This is a complete
contrast to the dress, but has touch
of the material or some note OF color
that connects them and makes 1t evident
| that it is a complete costume. A par
| ticuIarly striking dress following this
description was deceloped in the dark
| est possible shade of green. The skirt
was princess with long train and the
coatee was sleeveless but with cape
effect. The latter was of golden brown
cloth, showing an applied design of dark
| green cloth outlined with soutache in
brown and green. Very novel was the
vest of violet velvet which was almost
covered with gold embroidery. The hat
worn with this costume was OF golden
brown satin trimmed with chiffon roses

Belts are receiving much attention at

with plain buckles of gilt or silver.
Fancy girdles are made in innumerable
designs and are lovely. Some are eX-
| tremely wide, while others are narrow
! over the hips and point deeply in the
| back and front. Patent leather belts are
with us again and promise to be the
smgrtest ones of the season. Some are
very narrow. the stiff ones coming only

! ones are of soft leather and fit the figure
with a pretty curve. The buckles on
these are perfectly plain, covered with
