Scarf Dresses the Fad.

MANY of the handsomest evening
AVA gowns of the winter have been
fashioned from he tinseled Syrian scarfs
which may be bought now in most de-
partment stores for much less than the
extravagant prices asked by the solemn
and craftyeyed Egyptian nomads VINO
proffer these wares to summer-resort Nis-
.itors. In these days of narrow skirts
ard sleeveless evening bodices. half a
dozen OF the scarfs should make a very
graceful dress. and one may choose white
tinseled with silver or black wrought
with gilt The Egyptian maids wore
their scarfs. or yaZmaks hanging straight
from the shoulders and confined about
the hips by heavy girdles. A stunning
evening frock along this idea was hung
in surplice fashion over tunic of old
gold chiffon and the girdle was of cloth
of gold sewn with jade-colored beads.
Another dress. made of black scarfs, was
draped about the figure in the style of
the Tanagra statues.

Ribbon and Lace Economy.

deal of 1t is used in trimming sleeves
after the Japanese style and cut, whlch
is extremely modsh at this period.
In dying soiled laces and ribbons small
packages of reliable dyes can be bought
at drug stores or OF grocers, and, If intel
ligence is used in deciding on the darker
color to be used, splendid results can be
gotten and a great economy obtained
The dye should be made carefully as 10
directions and it must be remembered
that the slightest detail is most important
Then the dye should be tested with a
small piece of the ribbon or lace 1t Is
proposed to dye.
This should be allowed to dry. as the
dye frequently changes color after drying
If the sample comes out according to the
intention of the dyer it Is then perfectly
safe to insert all the soiled ribbons. IL
these are very much soiled dip in gaso-
line or benZne will take much of the dirt
off and make the dyeing proposition easier
ito handle. All articles dipped in either
gasoline or benZine should be allowed to
dry in the open air before going ahead
with the use OF the dye.

Not every one knows why the rabbit

Easter rabbit comes to us from Germany.
The German Easter rabbit however. is
not a rabbit. but hare-quite different
animal To little boys and girls who
have been very good all through Lent
snow-white hare is supposed to come on
Easter eve with gifts of Easter eggs.
The hare Is emblematic of Easter by it's
relation TO the moon. Easter is lunar
festival and the hare. because it is the
only animal born with its eyes open, was
classed by the ancients with the moon.
as ''the open-eyed watcher of the night"

Easter they are donned apologetically,
because the east wind is unkind enough
TO blow. Everything else bespeaks spring.
Yellow daffodils bloom in the gay little

wraps. and smart men accompany them
garbed in frock and cuta way coats un-

fascinating solitude a deux divide favor
with the restaurants. The hotels are
packed to the roof. and in the vestibules
of the fashionable hostelries piles of
trunks promise rich interest for dress
curious eyes on the morrow.
Easter Settles the Question.
After Easter at Atlantic City there are
no doubts. Everything is definitely set
tied; the width of sleeves. the length of
skirts, the height of neckwear, the size
of hat brims. No more feeling the pulse
of Paris. and making tentative expert
ments on the part of the dressmakers.
With Easter American styles are fixed
for another three months at least, and
the home dressmaker may safely set forth
to invest in summery fabrics and paper
patterns.
Paris style promises. boiled down and
cooled in the mold of American decisions,
offer this food for summer consideration:
That skirts will he short enough for
comfort. dragging skirts being considered
intolerable in hot weather; that sleeves
will remain long and tight; that frocks
will be built in one-piece effect, shirt
waists being entirely ostracised except
for travelling wear with coat and skirt
suits and with white linen skirts for
morning use; that straight lines are cor
rect and hips are still out of favor, but
that the waistline will gradually get
down to its normal place again.
The New Frocks All in One Piece.
The 1899 one-piece effect will be achieved
with long lengths of fabric fitted to the
figure; not in the facle manner of last
season. when n blouse and skirt were COM
bined under a belt, a panel being added
in front TO suggest a ne-piece effect. The
1909 dress Is a much more serious propo-
sition for the inexperienced dresslnaker
to undertake, for II must fit apparently
without fitting. and only the master hand
can accomplish this effect without bum

This fancy for one-piece frocks amounts
TO a veritable craze in Paris. Every cou-

A L the present time the use of ribbons
~ and lace is SO considerable an item
in womens dress that any little
tricks whereby their use can be extended
will produce noticeable economies In the
dress bills of the fashionable woman
Ribbons dye very easily and can be so
treated by any careful housewife.
All the soiled ribbons from any season
can be dipped in a dark shade and en-
poyed as ribbons for the hair and for
belts. AS for several seasons past it has
been the mode to have all the ribbons
and laces on any costume carried out In
one tone of color, much money can be
saved by dyeing various soiled laces ana
ribbons darker shade.
For instance, lavender dresses are
trimmed frequently with ribbons and
laces dyed to the same shade, and brown
laces are frequently made up into entire
guimpes to be worn with brown cloth
suits. Hats can also be made up ot
these dyed laces and ribbons, and great

One of the Easter brides at Atlantic City

frock may be seen under the cape shown

polonaise and the rich cape accompanying

pinks and baby blues are yielding 20 gay
oriental shades with bold embroideries
IN gilt and silver threads. The inexpen-

for summer wear and many of these
gay little negliges are being fashioned
for Easter gifts. Five of the handker-
chiefs are needed one for the back, two
for the fronts and two more TO form the
sleeve portions. The point which hangs
over the arm may be turned back and
the sleeve tackled together under the
arm: and, of course the upper points of
the kerchiefs which form the fronts and

make finish at the neck and to afford
