SOME PRETTY SKIRT EFFECTS.
Buttons and Braid Much Used, Either
Together or Singly.

There are some very pretty skirt
effects, in skirts outlined with but
tons and braid, though either can be
used alone. The effect of the tunic
Is always heightened by a border of
velvet or sontache buttons, and Pa
quin glorifies model in white satin
faced cloth by trimming of dark
amethyst velvet pastilles. The tunic
is square front and black, reaching al
most to the ground and slashed up
the sides. almost to the hips. 1t
shows an underskirt of softest crepe
de chine with a hem of panne velvet,
and ala around the tunic are small
velvet pastilles, those down the sides
being twice as large as the ones
around the bottom.
Border effects find their highest ex-
preston in the tunic, and nothing is
more elegant than tunic Of cloth or
velvet bordered with heavy cluny or
coarse net embroidered with silk and
gold or silver threads.

Marvellous are some of the newest
models for 1908 in their compactness

For carriage and auto use there are
some especially attractive things. Very

SOUGHT AND FOUND THEM NOT.
Few, Indeed, There Seem to Be Who
Really Love Nature.

One came from another world. He
went down Fleet street and saw the
weary, witless men who wrote daily of
Nature and her beauties. He went to
a theater and heard those who sang
of her charm. He went into the coun-
try, and heard peasants grumbling of
their lot and signing for the town.
He watched "sportsmen," who rent the
magnificent silences with the harsh
crack of rifles, and destroyed wanton-
ly the blithest birds and beasts. Then
he met philosopher.
II have seen those who live with
Nature, those who ravish her splen-
doris, those who write and sing of her.
Now, where are those who love herr"
And, like all men with reputation,

Your veil is an important affair 1t

fects the youthfulness of the face.
Particularly is this true in the case Of
the bordered wells, which accentuate
the line from the chin to the back Of
the couture or hat, and, according as
this line is raised or lowered to

Loose draperies are especially help,

fer exceptional facilities for bringing
out handsome dresses that are out Of
date and remodeling them in line with
present modes. Double tunics and
trimmings that produce such effects
are increasingly popular with the
well dressed, and these may be worn
by the women inclined toward en-
bonpoint if the style is combined with
long, straight lines in the front

as a rule the double jupe is best
adapted to slender, girlish figures.
Women who are clever enough to
dress very well on small or mod

themselves to few becoming styles,

so that few people recognize their
limitations. In fact, such a plan usu-

New Haven. April 2.-The Yale Alumni Weekly tomorrow will say that the excellent showing made by the athletes of Cambridge and OK ford in their annual dual meet last Saturday. makes it seem likely that these universities will accept the joint challenge of Harvard and Yale for a meet al London during July. Taking for Q comparison the re- suits of the games of last Saturday and the prospective estimates of what the men of Harvard and Yale will do in the dual and intercolle- gIate meets. the Weekly gives the opinion thag the Englishmen would probably win the half. the mile, the three-mile and broad jump. the Americans the 100-yards dash. high jump and hammer throw. with the quarter and hurdles in doubt. The benefit of the doubt would forecast the Englishmen as winners. Roose- welt Of Harvard. the Weekly thinks. would beat BeIlery of Cambridge in the high jump.
