Mr.. and Mrs. =. Dog knew only too
well what was meant by these
speeches. and so they hurried in, and
all night long they stood guard over
Minnie and Skinny and Humpy and
Lumpy, who were just about the
right size to tempt the appetites OF

FASHIONS

Dotted swisses in dainty sprigged de-
signs are charming for inexpensive
regligee gowns.
Nets of many kinds are employed as
material for very good-looking frocks
and some OF the late models show an
effective use of ribbon with it.
Bordered challis are charming this
spring and will be popular fabric for
cool-day summer gowns.
Coarse straw hats are the order or
the day, but they are also very soft
and light.
Large sailors Of rough straw will be
In favor with the summer girl.
Most of the spring hats are TO be
more or less tilted over the brows.
Rows CT gilt buttons trim some Of
the tailormade coats.
Heavy linen skirts in colors will be
worn this year with blouses in thin
sheer linen OF the same color.
The round and pointed neck frills
will be fashionable this summer Some
are made of muslin. edged with baby
Irish. others are of soft null with
finish OF cluny, and others are all lace.
There are no bandeaux In hats this
year Everything In headgear slides
down almost to the eyebrows.
| Hand-run tucks make dainty ana
attractive form of decorations for
| lingerie gowns and blouses.
The latest fashion in the new short
coats is 10 have the garments conform
more closely TO the figure.
| The most becoming low collar Is
that which is cut square or round at
least n quarter of an inch below the
lneckband.
Many smart suits are accompanied
| by leather belts. The craze for these
belts even leads TO their use with lin
gerie dresses.
There is strong leaning toward
| old-fashioned laces. such as bruges
honitan and escurial.
Belts are back in fashion, and as
result the shops are full of pretty Cir
dles-massive and frail.
II is said that shawls are coming in
10 popularity again. There will soon
be great unpacking Of old cedar
chests for the Paisley shawls of our
grandmothers.
Smart looking turbans for everyday
wear are of black glossy braid sewn to
a frame, the trimming also being of
braid.
FoulaTds Of every color are being
| produced by the manufacturer.
Plumes to match the gown are used
