sIlk Ponlin Waintn.

In striking contrast to the fluffy
blouses or lacy rutties are waists lash
ably on the ivory tone.
These waists are trimmed with wide
silk soutache braid TO match, and are
finished with shallow yoke and
stock of heavy lace.
The sleeves are three-quarter
length and close fitting. There is a
sleeve drapery OF poplin which is
edged with a narrow fringe.
Fringe as sleeve trimming Is a
pretty novelty, and the ball variety
Is most attractive.
One waist of ivory silk poplin shows
that inevitable touch of color in its
trimming or violet, velvet edged with
bands OF taffeta in paler tint OF
color.

Variety In Cuffs

There is a great variety in the cuffs
used on the blouses for the coming sea-
son. Sometimes they are of the stiff
masculine variety, and sometimes they
are turned back. starched affairs; again
they are merely ruftie; and others
are band Of embroidery. edged or not
with lace, as may seem best to the
dressmaker.
Then, too. there are the mousque-
taire or milton cuffs of lace, which ex
tend from small puff in the elbow

a new fad for stickpin Is a genu-
inc rosebud heavily gold-plated. The
idea does not sound particularly at
tractive. but ii mint leaves and violet
blossoms may be candied, there seems
no reason why unfortunate buds should
not be petritied by the application of
good quality gold.
They are used not only as pins. but
also as watch fobs and pendants. and

Practical Collar Bands.

Many women like to make the hand
embroidered collars now worn. and
are willing to spend much time and
eyesight on their o.namentatlon, but
there are some who dislike the more
practical part of mounting these on
bands, as 1t is hard to make one that
fits the neck. and they are tedious in
tho making. To avoid this, try MAX

embroidered with enough to turn I'M

Blnck Velvet Bands.

There are many variations OF The
popular black velvit b-nd worn so un-
tiringly by the woman of fashion at
the present time. While the plain UNI
relieved band of black is perhaps more
becoming, as 1t serves to bring out the
delicate coloring Of cheeks, lips and
hair. 1t is often decorated with jeweled
bands and buckles.
Those embroidered in ribbon work are
dainty, while some ornamented with a
design in beadwork were much admir-
ed. One wide band Of velvet was
brought around the neck, split in two
and two stiff little bows made to finish
the front of tho collar.

Braided Spring SHIFTS.

Many suits for early spring are
made with quite plain cutaway coats,
in which Sits have been made on
both sides of the front and through
which broad soutache braid has been

racing public. and has never yet dis

odds enormous sums of none have

situation last Monday night when the
catastrophe occurred.
'On that evening the horses had
been exercised and watered as usual,
