Or. Bray Visits Bryan to Investigate
the Mistletoe

the Mistletoe.
Or Bray formerly occupying the
chair OF botany In the University of
Texas. and at present filling a sim
liar position in Syracuse University,
New York spent Monday here for the
purpose OF collecting data in regard
to mistletoe In this locality. Or
Bray has been commissioned by the
4. $. Department of Agriculture, Di-
vision of Forestry. TO make a study OF
mistletoe, It's geography, it's habits,
its commercial value and especially
It's injurious effects upon the trees
upon which it grows As result of
this investigation. bulletin is TO be
issued in the near future which n Is
believed. will give publicity to some
interesting and rather surprising
facts.
Perhaps all of ms have heard that
mistletoe is In demand IN the larger
cities about Christmas times and
meets with very ready sale but few
of us know how great and general
that demand is and how incompletely
II is being met DR.. Bray holding
In his hand fine bunch covered
with white berries, remarked THAT
would readily sell for five dollars In
New York City" How TO get II into
the Northern market with the least
cost and in The best condition Is the
problem. We learn that car load
was recently shipped from point IN
South Texas
But whether mistletoe may become
a commodity OF trade commercially
important to the people of Texas, Is
not half so interesting a question
To us as is the question whether or
not this little parasite is destroying
our trees. We presume few people
ever gave this matter passing
thought. Yet It is this phase of the
subject which chiefly interests the
government Just at this time. And the
Department of Forestry al Washing
ton deems the matter of sufficient Inn
lportance to commission an expert and
send him on tour of investigation.
IL will be interesting to the people
of Brazos cornty TO know that Or
Bray states that he has visited nc
section In any state where mistleto'
is more abundant than il is here.
/ As to the destructive effect OF mis-
tletoe upon forest and shade trees
the writer would simply ask thos'
interested TO observe for themselves
There is abundant material for oh

NJ RING Is coming. and with its adj
vent returns the old, old Ques-
ton OF a dress that will not be
too light for cool days nor too
warm for summer weather. The solu-
tion suggested by the couturiers Of
Paris Is wolfe. This simple material
may be either cotton or wool, SO 1t is
almost sure to please any woman:
then. too. 1t is the softest and cling
lest of dress stuffs. Mohair makes a
nice spring suit. but it must be very
simple and smart, and somehow or
other Spring costumes in this country
lean toward dressiness.
The accompanying sketches all show
the latest touches of a master hand
touches that as yet only appear in
the models finished by the greatest
of French "confectioners.
The first Is a gown Of pale blue
pongee. the blouse hand embroidered
with large dots in blue silk in the
same shade. The yoke and sleeves OF
sheer lawn are minutely tucked.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1908-02-16

green striped mohair. The only adorn-
ment of this serviceable costume con-
sists Of the green bone buttons and the
yoke and cuffs of Irish lace. Tucked
net or lawn might be substituted for
the lace which is really so great luz
ury.
The hat is a green straw. trimmed
with long fe2thery quilts.
There seems to be tendency in the
spring models toward broadening the
shoulders and maintaining a short
wasted effect. Sleeves. too. while they
are not as short as they were year
ago, are still only little longer than
elbow length. and the advocates OF
wrist protectors are proven false
prophets.
The hats are not noticeably din. ene
in shape or size, while chip seems g be
the only straw possible to procure TOT q
walking hat of such rakish angles
Quilts have displaced the impractical
ostrich plumes Of last spring, and hat
pins are growing larger and larger S.
the days pass.

New Dress Gloves

THE gloves shown for spring are
but little different from those
L on sale during the winter. but
one of the newest styles is three-quar-
ter glove Of dressed kid. finished at the
back with crows feet and buttoned at
the wrist with two big pearl buttons.
These characteristics are a novelty in
dress gloves. but the popularity about
the newest importations Is their color.
This As a sort of cross between an april
cot and a champagne color. and it is
said to so we'll with all the new models.
Indeed. champagne color seems to be
the prevailing fashion for spring gloves.
while suede and kid are equally popu-

Spring Styles in Shoes

A s THE empire and classic styles
n keep supreme in the cut of wom-
a ems garments. the buckled shoe
is appropriate for the first time since
its introduction several years ago.
The bow of last year and the stin
pumps show signs of giving place to the
slipper with Cuban heel and square gold
buckle. while for evening dress. satin
slippers are shown. trimmed with a sim
gle rhinestone button. which display
the foot TO the best advantage.
IL is yet too early to say whether
brown shoes will be as popular for sum-
mer as they have been this winter. but
they are always good style and very
comfortable.

A New Shade

THE newest color shown in the ad-
vanced styles for spring is called
L mulberry. This seems to be a
cross between crushed strawberry and
raspberry. and 1T 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 Gums and yoke softening the tone
where 1t 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 house dresses and dancing
frOcks for young girls.

Our Letter rom
aris
PARIS, February 8.


LREADY there is an atmosphere
~ of spring about the bouleVaros
All of the shops are showing
spring clothes. and the only CONVEX
sation one hears when women are
about concerns the new models Tor
warm weather. Perhaps this air OF
spring is a little previous. but. or
course. every one is buying gowns TO
wear in Nice and Monte Carlo. ana
the strange part is that still there are
many winter costumes visible and
furs have not yet been discarded. The
last gaieties before Lent are bringing
out all the evening finery. and never
were so many sumptuous dresses
shown as during the present season.
The Paquin skirt with the front
drapery has changed to a skirt of
the same cut with drapery at each
side. The shirred waist lines have
given place to frightened material
tackled here and there to give the ap-
pearance of shirring. but the effect is
less rigid.
The evening dresses, and. indeed.
some of the afternoon dresses, are
made with a deep fold of the material
that curves almost to the waist. while
lace fills in the space to the line Of
proper decollete. Sometimes this lace
is point de Venise or duchess, but
more often it is point de Flandres or
real valenciennes. Little bead medal
lions are used in the center of the front
tust above the fold. and this trimming
on a plain white satin dress detracts
from the bridal look.

Lace Collars

sive Of the stin collars have
Irish lace insertion used In q
sort Of conventional design. While
they are less satisfactory than are the
hand-embroidered collars, for the lace
will not hold the starch and constant
heavy washing soon tears the fragile
material.

AFTERNOON MODEL

A charming afternoon model shown
In one of the largest houses is dark
blue chiffon cloth. finished with a
deep square yoke of Japanese en-
broidery in a lighter blue. This is
piped with a fold of magenta velvet.
which is also used on the cuffs. The
girdle that matches the dress is worn
in the fatima style. and the skirt is
trimmed with bands of the velvet and
finished at the bottom with four deep
folds.
The fatima scarf. by the way. IS
simply piece Of chiffon. about half
yard wide. brought tightly around
waist and hips and tied in a knot on
the left side.
A clever idea is shown in a dancing
frock of white chiffon made up over
white silk. The skirt is finished at
the bottom with fourteeninch band
of lowered chiffon. while below this
and for four inches from the floor is
a hem of black. This prevents the
white from soiling. and the dress will
last about four times as long as 1t
otherwise would.
Peacock blue. which Is so very popular
here, is used in an afternoon dress.
with silk underskirt of deep blue.
while the chiffon dress is lighter
and of a more greenish hue. This Is
heavily trimmed with silver braid
around skirt and collar.
In one of the pre-Lenten weddings
the brides gown was rarely beauti-
fui and well worth mentioning. 1t
was of white satin made in the
princess style. for any looser fashion
would not be becoming under the
bridal VEIL and was made quite plain.
except for the panel of rose point lace.
which began quite wide on the Shout
der. became narrower at the waist
and broadened to the bottom OF the
skirt The lace was edged on each
side with a bias band of satin. which
was heavily embroidered with silver.

while the skirt Is pleated and stitched.
But the latest Of late ideas Is the

and laces the jacket across the front.

made up in natural pongee embroid-
cred in dots to match. with a tie OF
delft blue.

.Frocks for Easter
Festivities

THERE is nothing that requires 50
much reflection as a party frock
for a girl OF Is years. Ii IL the
time when she Is just emerging from
childhood and the plain white batiste
dresses are no longer quite dressy
enough. and yet silken fabrics are still
for her older sisters. China silk is APP
propriate. ii 10 true. but Is such perish
able material. and IL really has not a
very dressy appearance. for some rea.
SON.
Just now anxious mothers must begin
to plan dresses for Easter festivities.
and at the same time most OF them
want to make a fortunate choice Of ma
terial. so that the party frock" for her
holidays will be best frock" for the
rest Of the summer.
There are several materials to choose
from. but as hand embroidery Is SO
much the rage 1t cannot be altogether
overlooked, SO scrim. or wooden canvas.
odd as 1t sounds. is a very good choice.
1t Is a material that wears well and IS
soft enough to cling to the figure. and
at the same time 1t may be embroidered
with drawnwork. for the threads are
easily pulled. 1t is. too. a very pleas
ant material to sew on. and there Is no
right or wrong side to be taken into
consideration.
A good model for q girl OF this age ID
a combination OF the empire back. the
panel front and mikado sleeves. The
latter are cut in one piece with the
waist, but split on top OF the arm to
the shoulder to add the necessary full
ness so that the sleeve does not bind
the arm. The undersleeves may be q
series Of ruf1es made OF fine batiste
edged with valeneiennes lace, and the
guimpe may be made to match.
The drawnwork should be done
around the sleeves and on each side Of
the slit. around the yoke. down the
box pleat which runs from yoke to hem
Of dress and. IL desired, around the
hem. It may be done in the form OF
hemstitching or wide, double hem
stitching The back OF the dress Is bet.
ter finished in two box pleats or one
double box pleat: and the belt Of POM
padour ribbon should extend from the
outer fold OF this to the outer fold OF
the front pleat. being tackled slightly
higher than the waistline In the back.
Thus front and back will retain the
staight, unbroken line. while on the
sides the figure will be outlined.
To make the dress will require a lit.
tie handwork. but the materials used
are very inexpensive. and the dress IL
practically untrimmed. so the result 10
sure to be economical even II made at
the dressmaker's.

Black We've tDots

TN MAKING up a black spangled robe
over a ruffie of pleated chiffon It
Is a clever idea to connect the two
by sewing to the ruff1e at regular inter-
walls big disks of black velvet.
These may be cut out, leaving the edges
raw. for they will not fray and they re-
Heve the cead whiteness of the ruff1e in
contrast with the black above and make
a connecting link between the two ma
Ssrials.

The model with the surplice front
Is a louisine or wolfe Of dark blue.
The trimming is black soutache silk
braid two inches wide and the but
tons are covered with the same. The
lace Of yoke sleeves apd jabot Is
valenciennes. and the hat is q black
chip with black quilts.

This costume Is .aost becoming to a
slim. rather tall figure. for the cross
lines of the skirt always tend to shorten
the wearer. Therefore. In making up
the dress for q small woman it would be
wise to run the two front stripes OF
braid to the end of the skirt.

lines Is the shirtwaist suit of brown and

EMBROIDERED LINEN brooks

White embroidered linen trocks for
very young girls are always beau

buy an embroidered centerpiece, not Of
the heavy white linen variety, but the
covered with a design including bas.
kets or bouquets Of flowers.
Having acquired this. some material
must be purchased to match. as nearly

plete portion of the design. and these
may be set into the material with a
band Of insertion or beading. Whatever
Is left Of the centerpiece may be used
with the insertion or beading. and a
very handsome. hand-embroidered gown
is made at little cost and almost no
trouble.
The material used on each side of the
design may be finely tucked. and the
model for the dress may be empire or
plain. to suit the taste of the mother.
1t Is better. though. to arrange for a
signs Will be detached in any case. A
pretty belt to wear with this frock is
a boned girdle Of Dresden ribbon or OF
the softest ivory radium silk.
AS both dresses described above are
Of such sheer materials, white taffeta
slip should be worn under them: but IL
this IL not procurable, the usual fluffy
skirts will look very well with the
white embroidered frock: while for the
scrim dress a slip made OF Powered
dimity and finished in many ruffies
would be charming.
For summer wear few slips made OF
white longcloth or nainsook and two of
dignity or lawn would be very useful and
1t Is better to make them now than TO
wait until later In the season when the
new styles are settled and summer
gowns must be made.
For the very young girl no selection
Of material could be better for this
season than a bright Bingham made to
wear with a guimpe. The latter by the
way. Will take most important place
in summer gowns for both mother and
daughter. and they might as well be
made now
They must be OF batiste, French main.
sock or lawn, trimmed with valen-
ciennes insertion or hand tucks and
seam beading; while a few OF them will
be made Of allover embroidery or fow-
cred lawns.
These little details are we'll arranged
for at this time Of year. for later every
to come on SO suddenly that those that
have not used little forethought are
never prepared.
In regard to the aster party dresses,
there Is nothing SO hard for a child, be
she young or old. as that painful UNI
certainty about an unfinished frock
when the party Is but a few days of.
And as it il only fair to the little
holiday maker to let her have all the
pleasant anticipation fate allows, 1t il
much the better plan to begin the dress
several weeks ahead Of time.
