HIDE AND SEEK.

HIDE AND SEEN.
WHERE'S spring." we ask, with long
drawn sigh.
where's spring.
All, wilful baby of the year.
Do we not know that thou are near?
In vain before your face you hold
A veil of showers, misty-cold;
The crocuses are indiscreet,
Nodding and beckoning round your
feet.
We hear your whisper, sweet and
low,
In every stream of melting snow;
Your laugh is in the southern breeze,
And you have wakened all the trees.
Still hiding? But the sky grows blue,
Your merry eyes are peeping thru,
And as the veil flies, rent, away,
To humor you, in mock dismay-
where's spring? Why, here she isl"
Here's spring."
Adds Dunbar.
Notes From Fashiondom.
For evening, black hats trimmed
with a mass of scarlet feathers, is
i the latest Paris wrinkle.
Black satin and silk hats are
frightened with lace insertion,
though always of the very finest quail
ity.
Among the prettiest motifs in neck
dressing are tiny lace bows as long
as the finger, pinned by brooch to
the base of the collar
Toreador ties Of green satin or silk
are fashionable, they are very ample,
quite filling up the front of the jacket
and it is fad to have a belt Of exact
ly the same shade of Rid to match.
A plain bow of velvet with a jabot
just beneath it is pretty finish fol
simple tailor gown, and the Little
pins in the collar above give just thu
necessary touch and finish to thu
neck.
Dainty watches in gold, crystal ant
enamel figure among the most charm
ing novelties, they are worn on tn
corsage, hanging by chains.
Simplicity is the keynote of tn
hour, and the only trimming permits
sible on these tailor mades, beside
the braids and soutaches, which ar
always in vogue, is the quaint en-
broidery, some of the Egyptian design
and coloring which is seen in tn
waist ocat or appears in the cola
1 and cuffs.
i For the early spring wear an al
vance note is found in the alliance {
fiat plated cloth skirts and coats {
the corduroy velvet, the latter eithe
of the long high waist, picturesqu
green or the simple little hip CO;
shaped to the figure.
For full evening dress there is
tendency to eliminate the sleeves e
tirely, a mere fold of tulle or lace b
ing made to serve or a transpare
drapery, more or less the wing orde
The elbow sleeve is still in evidenc
but upon the newest model it does n
take the puff form so often as it di
indeed one finds the closely fifth
sleeve, or some form of the loo
sleeve falling away from the arm.
