 Dark colors dominate in the spring suggestions.s
 A great many border linens appear on the counters. Fancy hosiery grows still more won derful every day. vioiets and gardenias are among the favorite flowers. A jeweled band may be worn back or front on the hair. Heavy cardb board hand-painted cam dlesticks are a novelty. Checks figure but little in wool goods for early spring. French crepes are out In many new effects for spring styles. | Wells are discarded with rakish l headgear. such as the shako. shot-velvets in wonderful two-toned effects are in high favor. The aIl-white theatre hat for young girls is a Paris innovation. | Very smart with velvet gowns are black velvet hats with white feathers. Jet cabochons and strings of large cut beads are millinery novelties. l Foalards in small figures are given q leading place in new materials. The big armhoIe and round neck are still in favor for jumper style gowns. The butterbowl shape hat is still with us and threatens to stay another half year.

 It is predicted that there will be no more high waists after the spring be- gins.
 Twists of silver ribbon are as efTect-
 i've as they are simple for hair orna- ments.
 All corsets are being worn as long
 as possible over the hips with but | few curves.
 Guimpes are made of eambric. 2 pleasant change after the. too frequent use of net.
 Some of the new foulards and taf- fetas have inch-wide satin borders of plain color. ! | Nearly all of the late hats are made | without bandieaux, and must be. worn
 with the fiat hair-dressing. | For the opera one must have long | gloves. They are even drawn up over the modish long sleeves. | The envelope nun matches the cloth | of the coat in color and fabric and is banded with color.
 Most of the new linens are in natur- al color, but some have narrow color stripes, wide apart If one has large hands the sleeves may be given the narrow effect by hooking them blindly at the wrist. | Thin wools, which make up into charming house gowns, are found in all the. fashionable shades and tones. Despite evidences of coming changes, the vogue of transparent
 yokes and sleeves holds on as firmly as ever. | Huge square buckles. studded with mock stones, are used to clasp the | drapery of the much used tunic.
 To so with the gols slippers which have so suddenly sprung, Into vogue, there are 1ustrous gold silk stockings
 A dainty robe dress of white batiste
 with tiny black dots and border of
 dull pink stripe is very stylish. Little hats that call for only a bit
 of fur, a whisp of gauge and an aig-
 rette. are fetching for theatre wear. | One of the late winter costumes Is
 of ecru broadcloth, the waist made ot
 green silk. draped with ecru chiffon.
 With some of the soft old coIors in
 use this winter. the combinations of cloth and gauge are passing beautiful The new and fashionable coat suits l have the appearance of a dress and al
 the same time many of the-coat feat ures. one new cut of bodice shows no shoulder seam. The sleeve that tightly moulds the arm is cut in one with the l shoulder.
 The one sure thing about spring hats is that they will be smaller; and
 that the Merry Widow is to be put to | death.
 Some of the new hatpins are fin the shape ot huge tortoise shell buttons, 1 inset with gold or silver and stone | brilliants
 Shades that promise to lead for the 1 early spring at least are wood rose, wisteria, catawba. amethyst, mulber- ry and dull rose.
