| terials in colors. During the winter
this idea has been carried out in fine
cloth and velvet, and it Is promised
that silk and MORE of the same color
will be used during the summer the
moire being used for the Jacket. A
separate coat is an addition that is
acceptable often in an outfit for
wear with all sorts of skirts, pro-
vided 1t is of color.
In colors the advices from Paris
tell us that the natter blues and the
shade called Copenhagen are to be
worn again this season in a perhaps
more vivid tone, the old rose shades
both of the deeper and lighter shades
the Empire green's and the ecru
shades will. be seen; but some of
these colors are SO brilliant that they
will be worn only over white or some
color that will subdue their color.
Many of them seem only fitted to the
evening party and not to the street.
Silks are to be worn more than
ever this season and are of a lus-
trous surface and very pliable in tex
ture. So great is their demand that
they have been simulated in many of
the cotton weaves and a new class of
woolen goods that closely resemble
them.
Jumper suits, house dresses.
street suits made with jaunty little
Etons will be made from the rough
spun silks as shuntungs, pongees, ra-
jahs and the popular tussor. All
these are found in cotton that have
close likeness to them.
A new material that will be used
extensively this season is the chevron
satin cloth, that is, a satin cloth with
a chevron stripe. 1t is something
similar to the herringbone stripes
seen on serges and English worsteds
and cheviots. 1t is particularly suit
ed to wraps or skirts for separate
wear.
There are some pongee linens
shown in the shops this spring that
are admirable materials for the new
shirtwaist and their laundering quail
tiles are unsurpassed, it is said. They
come in many designs as well as in
the plain shades.
The bordered foulards promise to
be one of the favorite fabrics of the
season, they are particularly fitted
for the tunic skirts and the flounced
semi-princess gown. There is also
cotton foulard that makes up into
very dressy modes.
A new three-piece skirt is shown
that fits closely over the hips with
a long panel in the front, from waist
to foot. To the hip pieces is attach
ed skirt portion that is laid in
groups of plaits.
The separate long coat has become
an Indispensable part of the ward
robe. A most practical mode is ma ,e
from grey taffeta. The seam in the
middle of the back allows of an ad-
ditional width in the skirt of the
coat the seams terminating in vents
some distance above the lower edge.
Turnback cuffs finish the sleeves
which are abundantly full, with the
extra width laid in plaits at the low
er edge, and the armhole is large
and deep which is stylish feature
as well as one of convenience. A
notched collar finishes the coat.
Broedcloth, oxford cloth, satin chew
ron. shantung and taffeta are all
suitable materials for these coats,
which may be in full or seven-eighths
length.
Etons still continue to hold their
own and will be more seen as the
weather gets warmer and many are
made in cutaway style with rolling
collars and narrow vests of flat
collar band. The sleeves are short or
long or in three-quarter length as
preferred.
Linens will be as much in evidence
this summer as usual but many will
be seen in supple weaves and come
with borders.
