manner. Such is fame, indeed, when
the press agent need not even be con-
suited. The Nazimova collar, be It
known, is high under the ears. We
have seen it many time, but now
being introduced properly we can tax
of it in familiar way and even give
the impression that we know Just what
and who Madame Nazimova is. The
kind shown at Lanes is highly gar
injured with trimming, suggestive or
our Indian forebears, and is shown IN
distracting numbers. The directoire
Is another pretty thing in a collar and
the devilshape fancy such collar for
Easter wear) is a weird thing with
long points at the side and colored
bow in front.
Jabots and rabots in Val, baby Irish
and Venise, each with a pretty bow,
bearing out the statement of Madame
Potts as to the coming of color, are
dainty in their suggestion for Easter
gifts, and the feminine heart that can
he satisfied with just beholding is
strong indeed. To see is to buy.
The veil as part of milady's Easter
attire must have distinct part to
play. 1t cannot be selected hurriedly,
but must be given thought and con-
look at the beaded moline or crystal
yelling at Lanes will start the thought
in the right direction.
Behind the scenes at the Broadway a
tub-shaped hat of jumbo braid
trimmed with a wreath of pink moss
buds combined with forgetmenots is
hidden away to await the magic mo-
ment. 1t has satin facings of the same
color as the braid, and is so attractive
in appearance that its debut is being
postponed until the last minute. For
it is one of a number of imported
models that will be snapped up by the
woman who is on the lookout for an
artistic, up to date and within reach
Easter bonnet.
On the first floor of the Broadway
for these last few crowded days and
to accommodate the throngs of Easter
shoppers there is a millinery annex.
Samples of all grades of hats are on
display chaperoned by competent sales
women, and 1t is greatly to the advan-
tage of the tired buyer to have the
millinery department in such airy
quarters.
Dear Things for Babies
Baby's mushroom shapes in pique
with buttoned crown, blue satin ribbon
sash and buttonholed brim makes one
long to be the possessor of a dozen
babies. The pokebonnets of dainty
ers over each ear are just made for
curly heads, and 1t needs no great
stretch of the imagination to picture
the baby face beneath.
In the shoe department at the Broad
way suede boots in all shades are dis
played on fashionably stockinged shoe
trees, the hosiery matching the suede
boots, and these in turn must match
the gown. Nineteen different shades in
GtOokinoc ara IN dicnIaU and tha
watchword everywhere is match,
match, match.
In the floral department in the
Broadway stately Easter lilies rear
their heads, peaceful amid the hubbub
of shopping, and fairly beg to be
bought and given away. The progress
sive young man will buy one for his
lady fair and hide within it's snowy
heart a solitaire which he is keeping
for a beautiful Easter surprise. Hya-
cinths are scarce this year and there
fore expensive, but daffodils, Watsonia
and pots of snowy white bloom with
an unpronounceable name are growing
in such abundance that the Easter
Sabbath will be, if possible, more fra
grant than ever.
The plume is much more in evidence
than ever this year on the Easter hat,
the willow plume being the favorite.
in the willow plume is tied with one of
a different color, thus affording a great
variety of invention and ingenuity.
For instance, a black plume Is tied
with bright geranium, and this, by the
way, is a strikingly handsome combina-
ton. Electric blue and green is another
loveable contrast, and rich new color
is tete de nigre, three tones darker than
taupe. Single layer feathers are used
just as they come, tied with a color.
and raw plumes are being dyed to blend
with straw. Feathers in all shades of
amethyst as we'll as in black and white
are being used for Easter gifts, and it
would indeed be a feather in my lady's
cap If she should quite unconsciously
drop a hint to father brother or lover
as to the shade of the new Easter
gown. A great variety is found at the
Broadway.
Contrasts in Mems Clothes
The men, bless them, are being duly
considered in these mad preparations
for Easter, evidence of which we see
in the gorgeous array of fancy vests
at Harris g. Franks. There are vests
of wooden, imported and fine; there are
vests of the fine French flannel; there
are vests of cotton, with embroidered
polka dots, and vests of madras In all
tints and shades; but the vest that is

pique, which with it's raised figures is
Wonderfully like heavy brocade.
Preparations for summer are shown
in the soft outing suits at this exclusive
establishment, separate coats with
white trousers, and trousers with a fine
black stripe illustrate again the non
matching idea in mems clothes
Harris e. Frank call themselves gen.
eral outfters for men and boys and
women and girls, and the assortment OF
garments they carry includes the most
dependable brands of merchandise.
That tells the whole story.
The New York Store is to Los An
geles what Collot and Paquin are to
Paris, for there is no doubt that the
salon on the second floor shelters more
richness and more new ideas than are
to be found in the average establish
ment devoted to women's clothes. New
importations in spring materials not
too extreme, but conservatively beauti-
full and artistic, and logical to the last
detail are displayed by saleswomen
who are artistic themselves in an I'M
usual degree. A gown of Cunard blue
marauisette over bronze gold satin
makes one think of the afternoon sun
overcast by rain clouds. The satin
shines family through, but the idea
of the bronze gold is there, and If the
gown were worn with this Elusive
shade in hose and shoes, with hat and
gloves of the same tinge, there would
be, indeed, what the fashion plates are
