It's STOCK OL (lully ldCS'
Sweaters in white and red with high
or low neck will be very much worn
for outing, and the assortment mere is
almost ineXhaustible.
Colored linens in waist and skirt all
clinging closely to conservative styles
and strictly tailored effects are on dis
play, in marked contrast to the bewild-
ering effects in lace waists of all kinds.
Baby Irish, Cluny and Val all vie for
first place in feminine affection, but
baby Irish must be considered the win
ner for the present season, at least In
decorating the lingerie waist.
Man has his inning at this shop. The
newest and smartest in mans attire is
here, including the advance suggestions
for Easter and summer. The closed
front collar and the string tie are being
shown; and wash ties in tubular style
in contrasting shades of different colors
are the newest thing.
Nobby gray serge suits and green
mixed effects will be the proper Easter
habiliment for a man, but IN direct
antithesis to women's costume nothing
must match. Suit, vest, hatband. SOCKS
and gloves must be modest in color but
Of contrasting shades. We trembie TO
think of possible results.

firm of Brauer & Krohn he has a repu-
tation to keep up that is thing OF
beauty in its way.
The wide wale-an original idea en-
anating from this original shops pop
ular in gray and is quite as stunning
as anything a man may select. Ihe
wide vale you must know, is stripe
running diagonally across the goods
and of the same shade.
High colors are the thing, such as
light tans and browns, and vest to
be right must be snowy to match these
same high colors.
! A suit made to order from a shop
of such artists will surely please.
Smaller Hats VIII obtain
Mrs. Wood likes medium sized hats.
She sits in her pretty shop at 346 South
Broadway and frowns at the ultra In
millinery. The three-story mountains
of bird, beast and fish that our friends
are wont to attach to their coiffures are
not to be found in this artistic estab-
lishment. Beautiful models-hats that
will appeal to all ages and complexions
are to be found here in harmonious
combinations and unusually attractive
numbers.
A hat on the poke order, covered with
Rotten roses in Catawba shades, with
long streamers of wysteria- colored vel
necessary to attract and yet show ar
tistic selection of color and materials
and a knowledge of the general con-
tour of the human face.
Everything in ornaments is barbaric
and Mrs. Wood shows varied assort-
ment of hatpins. buckles, buttons ana
Persian trimmings-enough, indeed, TO
satisfy any and all Salome imitators.
Pay less and dress better is the slo-
Gan of Stewart the tailor, who has at
tractive rooms In the Exchange build
ing at 321 West Third street.
Mr.. Stewart wants the men OF Los
Angeles to know of his specialties-con-
cave shoulders, close-fitting collar and
never-break fronts.
1den will know what he means, but in
order fully to appreciate Mr.. Stewards
enthusiasm it is necessary to talk with
him and see his splendid assortment
of materials.
White No Longer Reigns
A peep behind the scenes at Madame
Potts establishment in the Forve
building at 512 South Broadway, dis
closed an array of girls pretty enough
to make an attractive setting for the
score of exquisite models that posed
like living things for the inspection OF
the purchaser "Of course" said Ma
dame Potts. in answer to the question,
white will be as greatly in favor
as ever, but the artistic soul of the
modiste is elated over the fact that
color, not rtotous implanted masses or
color but logical development along
the lines of shades and tints, will be
demanded by the spring shopper of
1909. This is a rebound that was in
evitable, for white is a deadly test for
some pale compilations, while a judi
ciously chosen shade of favorite color
acts as a tonic on this same state of
skin.
Linens, poplins, piques and batiste
cate wystaria, lavender, blue, coral
pink, and all the shades of the Amer
lean beauty to correspond with these
same shades in hats. But the fabrics
for spring are not those for summer,
and this is a line along which Cali
fornians must be educated. We must
make the season in order to dispose of
the things which fashion DEGREES for
spring wear.
| A striking example of a spring gown
| and one that will be worn on Easter
morning was made of Chantong, a
new fabric on the wolfe order, and a
symphony in wystaria shades. 1t was
| heavily braided in conventional de-
signs of running roses, the sutache be-
ing used on net of the same shade as
the material. The empire style with
| the long line from shoulder to heel was
in evidence everywhere in this estab-
| lishment, and most particular atten-
ton was paid to the correct matching
of Innings and trimmings. "Touch of
white or gold,'' said Madame Potts,
''may be used to relieve, but the day
of the white yolk or ecru collar is over;
that is, they are not used at all in the
sweller gowns of colored CLOTH"
An oft-quoted new idea to the effect
that the proper study of mankind is
children. is being followed to the letter
at Lanes, who bears well his honors in
sharing the esteem of the buying pub
lie of Los Angeles, especially that part
of it that likes to see its children well
dressed. Stunning outing hats OF
wearable and well-wearing materials
for the tads are shown, such as, for
instance, a Rancho hat, meaning, of
course, a peaked crown with a rakish
flowing ribbon. Another. of white Mi
Ian straw was trimmed in silk POM
poms and grosgrain ribbon. A particu-
! larly taunty effect is achieved in a
Panama mushroom shape by trimming
the ribbon with straw and by fasten-
| ing a straw buckle at the side. An
other intended for hard wear was
made of plaid with black velvet rib
bon ties.
