spring is the white shirt waist of linen
or lawn with plain blue collar and cuffs
embroidered in white French knots.
Heavy raised work and padded en-
broideries done in flowers is the newest
style of trimming.
Waisteoats are prominent on many
coat and skirt suits and are made very
elaborate and gay.
High standing feathers, flowers. rib
bons and gauZe of silver or gilt are the
fashionable ornaments for the evening
head dress.
Linen collars of the smartest make are
embroidered in colored linen and little
bows embroidered to match are worn
with them.
Tan shoes will continue in popularity
throughout the summer and the pumps
viii be worn fully as much as last
year.
Elastic belts IN dark colors are stud
ded with jet or steel with buckles to
match.
Net boleros jetted in black, silver gray,
steel blue heliotrope or white are very
new and are made of fine soft net,
sleeveless, or with short wide sleeves.
Silk waists padded with roses upon
the front, very elaborate lace yokes and
very high stocks are worn with jumper
effects; the sleeves are long and embrod-
erad beautifully.
Chiffon lisse, French organdie and bor-
dered and monotone wolfe arc new ma
terials that will be seen much in the
coming season. Embroidered and St
Call swiss are especially lovely.
Jabots of fine white net edged with
lace are extremely chic; also bows made
very full and round, that are fastened
on by a diamond horseshoe or crescent.
Pongee bands used for trimmings are
embroidered in duh reds. green's, blues
and old gold in Egyptian and Moorish
designs.
Foulard is one of the leading fabrics
of the season and comes in unlimited
designs, but with a predominance of
rings and dots of many sizes.
Chiffon and liberty scarfs in delicate
colors showing a wide Powered or Per-
sian border are worn with low neck
gowns at dinners, theaters or at ones
home.
Belt buckles of oxydized metal are
made in the shape of dogs or OWLS heads
with jeweled eyes of brilliant red or
green.

ing sleeves come in delicate tints of
broadcloth lined with heavy satin or
brocade and trimmed with embroidery
braid, cord and tassels and huge buttons.
Ginghams of very fine quality will
be fashionable for skirt waist dresses
and are attractive in medium sized
plaids, small and large checks and
stripes. The colors are charming in light
blues, greens, violets and even reds.
Belts of silver braid 3 inches wide are
bordered with a wide fold of gold velvet;
those of silver or gold show figure de-
signs and lowered belts of chiffon elias
tic arc lovely.
Tulle and violets worn at the throat
is a late fad which is vastly becoming
Delicate pink or creamy white bows
caught with an enameled violet. with
vlolets upon the corsage and on the hat
and violet gloves are remarkably pretty
accessories for the spring toilette.
Wide belts folded once through the
middle come in the fashionable shades,
some with deeply fooled border in a
Greek key design. The buckles are of
plain gilt or silver curved to fit the waist
snugly.
Velvet dresses are much favored, and
the plain rather than heavily trimmed
are liked better for they show off the
material to better advantage. The
street gowns have very short skirts with
deep hens, and the coats are made plain
with the exception of the fancy vests.
Semi-long sleeves will be worn this
spring, the top part reaching halfway
below the elbow and from there to the
back of the hand is a tight lace sleeve
with place cut for the thumb. Three
quarter sleeves will be favorites owing
to the ever-popular long wrinkled gloves.
Border designs seen on the new chif-

are in self-colors woven in the material
instead of being printed. There are
groupings of stripes, large dots and zig

there running close together to rounded

An evening gown which was most

green and silver. The bodice was formed
by the border of the material and
crossed in front in surplice effect, then
