Now the shantoongs. tussorah, pagodas
and all the other fascinating weaves
may be purchased in every shade typical
of the Flowery Kingdom the most deli
cate shades of the wlstaria and the
chrysanthemum being reproduced, as
well as the cherry and the plum, and
other practical colors suitable for the
workaday American existence. For the
street the rough silks are made up on
precisely the same lines as are the wor-
steds and trimmed with similar garnish-
ings; and, as the material is usually
yard wide, 10 yards is quite sufficient for
a three-plece costume. Some of the more
expensive rough silks have Powered or
Persian borderings, which adequately
trim both skirt and coat while those
which are striped to duplicate American
and English weaves may be diversified
by the usual crossed bias bands.
Jaunty WaistcOats.
Many a simple little tailor-made has
been saved from mediocrity by a fancy
waistcoat, such as those to be worn
with the new worsted and rough silk
suits. One of the prettiest of these nat
ty accessories is OF English cretonne
Pompadour pattern, cut with a " neck,
short-pointed fronts, the whole edged
with deep blue pique. Another of
heavily corded white pique is double
breasted and closed with Dresden but
tons. For summer use the wash waist
coat is far and away the more desirable,
as 1t adds UNNECESSARILY to the dainti.
ness of strictly tailored costume, espe-
cially If 1t is one that has had hard
usage.
Collars and Cuffs.
The up-to-date tailor-made girl, wheth-
err she incline to fine worsteds or to
rough silks as material for her street
suits, realizes that she cannot have too
many attachable collars and cuffs with
which to diversity Its appearance. The
plain and hand embroidered linens al
ways look dainty and will continue to be
worn, but at the moment are not con-
sidered quite 50 smart as are those of
pique in the pale blues, pale pinks, rose
colors and orchid shades. Much Gobelln
blue Is used, and any number of the
plain pongee Manufactured shades. The
most popular model for these collars
is the pointed or shawl shape, and they,
like the pointed cuffs. are provided with
buttonholes to be fastened to buttons Of
corresponding size, sewn upon the coat.

at the sides and back, and so tightly fit

woman who essays it should possess. 1t Is
single-breasted, closing midway from
throat to waist and generously cut away
at both extremities. Like the majority
of the shorter coats, it has puffed sleeves
banded at the elbow.
Half Long Coats.
Tailor-made worsted suits, with half
long coats, are much in favor for gen.
eral wear, as well as for semidress occa-
sions. One of the smartest of cuch
models Is OF knee length and half-fitting.
with a single-breasted front opening over
an elaborate waist Of a matching shade
of chiffon and worn with an untrimmed
short-gored skirt. Another long coat of
a gunmetal and whte-striped Panama
suit was ON distinctly Empire lines and
worn over seven-gored circular skirt
trimmed with several graduated bias
bands of the same material. These half
long coats to be worn with short skirts
will be duplicated in the piques and
linens intended for summer street wear
and for travelling, the only notifications
being the sleeves, which will be of wrist
instead of elbow length
Brnids Versus Embroiderfes.
Some of the most attractive of the
spring tailor-mades are trimmed exclu-
sively with broad Hercules braid of a
widely contrasting color, such as black on
Copenhagen blue, gray or black and white
plaid. In some instances 1T entirely out
lines the coat, covers the walstcoat and
bands the skirt In lieu of the usual bias
cut trimmings. There is an endless va
riety of fancy braidings, any of which
may be employed as are the Hercules
widths, and, of course, soutache is high
In favor for decorating worsteds just as
1t is for silks and linens. In fact, braids
are temporarily driving embroideries
from the realm Of dressmaking, simply
because the fad for using handwork was
carried to such IN extreme that 1t became
almost vulgar and women who aimed at
sartorial refinement gradually began to
discard embroideries as too ford and
commonplace. silk bands with CONTRAST
ing soutache embroidery make wonder
fully effective furnishings for the sim
pie worsted suits If 1t is desirable to use
only n very small amount of trimming,
an idea exempli1ed by a navy blue serge
with black soutache embroidering, white
silk bands trimming the coat only, the
skirt being guiltless of decoration. Braid
enriches many of the separate silk coats
designed for semidress and for short dis.
lance motoring, Of which the most at
tractive are in such effective tlnts as
carnelian red, burnt orange, natter blue
and oriental green. They are usually of
the redingote order, outlined with match
ing fat silk braids and fastened as well
as decorated with huge crochet buttons
and military cordings.
Rough SILK Suits.
Time was when the natural -colored
rough pongee was the sole specimen of
Its weave to be used for street suits.
and If that shade CHANGED not to be be-
coming, the woman who considered her
appearance of first Importance admired
and priced the material. but passed ON.

Goes chosen by charity committees are
invariably conspicuous for their ugliness-
no longer appeals forcibly TO the youthful
Lenten worker. She sees no reason why
her pretty, carefully manicured fingers
should labor upon bulky, rough-textured
garments which an ordinary seamstress
can put together, when they might be
constructing beautifully useful articles
that may be sold at an after Easter bazaar
TO persons eager TO pay extrayagantly for
the sake of aiding the charity workers
to augment the net profits which are to
benefit some local orphanage. hospital or
home.
For many seasons past Lenten sewing
class composed of fashionable New York
girls and matrons has held an Easter hat
sale, each member acting as saleswoman
and endeavoring to Guido her associates
in the profitable disposal of her wares.
And there is certainly nothing easier for
deft fingers to make from odds and ends
of millinery than a modish hat such as
those of satin, silk or lace now worn the
year round. the frames for which may be
purchased at wholesale rates IL dozen
or more are desired.
But hats are not the only articles which
will attract people TO a charity sale. ANY
amateur milliner is usually quite an
adept at making the boas and scarfs of
chiffon, fringed ribbon or net which most
women substitute for fur neck pieces as
soon as spring arrives. Prettiest of SIM
pie ruches are those OF malinette, COM
posed OF several six-inch wide strips
double box plated upon an inch-wide
band, the ends finished with long velvet
OR ribbon loops. Boas of II inch, two
yard lengths OF aIlover italian, Irish or
Venise lace are bound all round with
baby ribbon, upon which is sewn mara
bout or ostrich feather bordering, while
scarfs that may also be worn as evening
head coverings are made Of chiffon bor-
dered with narrow satin ribbon quilting,
hemsttched edges and embroidered ends
or with feather-stitched edges and ends.

Strictly Tailored Shirtwaists.
Striped and plain linen and pongee are
used for the strictly tailored shirtwaists
used chiefly for morning wear beneath
worsted taior-mades. These have groups
of pin tucks, resembling panels, in the
center of the front and back, fanked by
wide side plaits, the outer piaits wide
enough to extend over the top OF the
sleeve, affording the desired long-shoul-
dered effect. Another model not unlike
the Peter Pan negligee is sometimes seen,
but it is decidedly unbecoming to any
save a typical shirtwaist figure, as Its
plainness is unbroken unless the left side
breast pocket may be considered an orna-
ment. With both these models, striped
linen, Gobelin blue pique or Shantoong
silk stiff collars and cuffs are correct
and very much affected by the modish
shirtwaist maiden.
New Sailor Hats.
Exceedingly severe are some Of the
new sailor hats, notably those with
broad, hat brims and moderately high
crowns. They come in rough and
Neapolitan straws and are banded and
1at-bowed with plain and fancy ribbons.
Another new sailor shape has rather a
narrow brim and high crown. 1t is
trimmed with a fat band, or with
long, wide bow, but has no outstanding
trimming. Sailors will be prime favor
ties for runabout purposes all the spring
and summer and are precisely the shape
to accompany the simpler trotter suits
Contrary to general opinion, the nautical
hat is becoming to the average woman
If worn. with a veil, as that accessory

Novel Hntpins.
Some of the fancy hatpins are works
of art. They are round, fiat, oblong or
half-moon shaped, formed of stones, metal
and composition of every imaginable hue
and Of mammoth proportions. The agate
is one of the momentary fads, and there
are innumerable combinations of rhine
stones with jet, pearl, silver and gold.
To present n woman with n handsome
hatpin is really to furnish her with
valuable and easily adjusted hat trim
