FASHIONS AND FADS.

Coats for spring and early summer are
made with little regard TO fit, for the
newest models hang straight up and
down, While lining and stffening are con-
spicuous by their absence.
Such materials as ponsee, rai jan mirage
and linens are developed into skeleton
coats, and though they look simple,
doubt whether such model would be
safe in the hands of the amateur dress.
maker.
My advice in making such garments
would be TO choose the most conventional
semi-ttting models, dispensing with the
lining If DESTROYS of appearing up-to-date.
Parasols woven from raffia are a novelty
this season. They are in the color known
as natural, but on the maize or buff
shade.
Some show a plain border using diff
ferent weave for decoration. while others
have a fringe of the raffia. The latter
ornamentation is odd. of course but to
my thinking not as pretty as the plain
edge. The parasols are mounted with
wooden handles, some duh in finish while
others are highly polished. Some are dec
Grated with bows of colored ribbon at
the top and at the point near the end

The scarf remains.
Skeleton bodices are popular
Long sash ends are novelty.
There is quite fad for opal matrix
The japanese wash silks are lovelier
than ever.
Fine null ties with colored dots are
very pretty.
Foliage colorings abound and are ex-
ceedingly mellow.
Enormous black cherries are used on
some of the hats.
Coats for girls suits are plain and al
most straight.
The latest Partisan novelty is the hand
tucked waist.
Some of the standing collars are hem
stitched around the top.
Belts will match the skirts instead OF

Most of the new crepe blouses are inset
with Irish crochet lace.
Pretty little neck bows are made of col

WAY OF ARRANGING
MODISH COIFFURES

Judging from the styles and shapes OF
the new spring hats, the couture seems
to be of little importance. for it scarcely
| shows when beneath the up-to -date MILL
merry models. But such conjecture is a
mistake. for the arrangement of the tress-
es amounts almost to ceremony, the
process being 50 long and tedious and the
dressing, which can be only on certain
lines. difficult to perform.
To the unnitiated the modern coifture
looks simple. as little hair is arranged in
the front while in the back there cannot
be too much, bat this result can only be
secured by skill, for such dressing built
by an amateur is apt TO topple over
when enormous hat is placed on the
head.
The first stage Of this intricate hair
dressing is TO part the hair in the center.
then arrange by hair pins Fastening Sc
curely to the head, an enormous rat that
reaches from ear To ear in the back. Over
this the hair is brought.
AS rule, there is only sufficient left to
twist into a tight little knob for a foun-
dation for the false hair 10 be added

by back comb. which. however, is set
so that it lies flat on the head.
/ When the locks are scant SO that a thin
nesss is visible at the crown of the head
!, The comb is an excellent disguise. Any
way. the plain spot between the crown
of the head and the puffs of hair is never
pretty, SO the comb may be considered
an Improvement in any case. Fancy pins
are novelty. and useful as they are
ornamental. and they are aid in wear
ing hat. for they prevent its bearing too
| heavily on the hair. Some of these pins
stand out for distance of three or four
inches and properly disposed of should be
a comfort when large or heavy hat is
! worn.
