One of the prettiest spring gowns
exhibited recently showed nile green
panne velvet coat trimmed with heavy
cord of the same color at the collar,
cuffs and vest, also with small velvet
buttons. The skirt was of voile sew
'eral shades lighter than the jacket
and had band of velvet around the
bottom the same color as the jacket.
Another pretty costume seen recent
ly consisted Of gray velvet jacket
and skirt of large gray checked
material. The skirt was full plated
and had a self-fold around the bottom,
while the coat had a vest and cuffs of
the gray material.
The smartest linen collars are the
colored ones, and those in light blue,
pink, gray and leaf green are partic-
ularly novel. Usually they are seal
loped and embroidered along the up
per edge. The embroidery is in cot
ton, usually pure white, and the col
lars are worn with white wool or duck,
the collar has full plated frill down
the front the edges of the frill are
usually in color and the collar and
cuffs match these edges. Where there
is no frill some bit of color in the
waist itself or in the tie will give the
mote for the collar and jabot color
combination.
The newest color shown in the ad-
Vanced styles for spring is called null
berry. This seems to be a cross be-
tween crushed strawberry and rasp-
berry, and it is just near enough to old
rose to be becoming to almost any
complexion. The most charming linen
suits are made in this color, the white
cuffs and yoke softening the tone
where it comes near the face Many
of these dresses are trimmed with
white cotton or soutache braid in all
sorts Of intricate designs. The new
mirage silk also comes in this color
and makes a most fascinating material
for young girls.
New hat ribbons show an immense
white polka dot on deep-colored back
grounds, such as dark red, navy blue
golden brown and green. Three yards
will make a generous bow with a lit
tie to spare for draping the crown
The net bows. both plain and ring
dotted, can be bought ready for adding
ito the hat all wired. These are very
pretty AMI airy looking, and just the
thing to take the place of the ribbon
bow on a silk hat.
This is certainly peculiarly TWEEN

!are large, taking the form of brooche:
ior pendants and are made after the
fashion of old paste, intermingleC
with gems. Some of these pendants
and brooches are in the shape of flow
ers or fruit, and faithfully copy tn,

Golden quilts are in great deman
for spring hats. and what could b
leasier than to paint over those tina
fail to match any hat at present
use?
Sometimes. too, the imported hat
are trimmed with artificial quilts {
silk. and some of the new quilts ar
made Of chiffon on a wire franz
These last two are great conven
ence, for in early spring days the win
plays havoc with the brittle quill
while happily wire cannot break.
Combination underclothes are
coming more and more the rage. A
