1T is comparatively an easy matter
when the weather is cold and drenry
TO be sclf-dcuying as far as new gowns
are concerned, and to be philosophically
content with last years fashions, but let
the warm days of late spring and sum
mcr weather once begin and the woman
who can be happy and cheerful with her
old clothes is rara avis, and is certainly
entitled to the unstintcd admiration Of her
fellow beings.
To be prepared in advance for all the
spring and summer entertainments is q
happy fate that bcfalls few individuals
For the most enthusiastic lover of clothes,
as well as the most practical of man
ayers, rebels against the amount OF tiine
essential in getting together summer
outfit that is up TO date IN every detail
not to speak of the money question. For
the first spring days-spring according to
the calendar if not the roiguiug tcmpera-
ture-tho smart street costume is abSo-
lutely necessary TO comfort Then there
must be the smart gown suitable foe the
autumn reception or bridge, and these
two, with an attractive theatre gown, are
sufficient to get through the TWO or three
weeks before the weather has settled down
into much higher record Of temperature

gowns is perfcct-and there are two or
three others of the winter wardrobe still
in fnirly good order
To be quite comfortable there must be
included In the spring OUTFIT more than
one new street gown, for the tnilor cos

the cool days of spring is quite out OF the
question in the warmer days. which. how
ever, arc still cool enough to call for u
gown of more weight.
But In these days of resource there are
50 many different weights of cloth that
tho difficulty can soon be solved. There
must be provided the gowns Tor warm
weather, the coat aud skirt of liGhlest
wool. pongec, silk, linen and, for more
formal occasions, crepe dc Chine and satin.
These, be lt remembered, have always the
coat TO match, even when the gown is iu
one piece instead OF skirt and waist.
Foulard and Wolfe de Sole.
This Is 10 be season of smart thin
gowns. foulard and voile dc sole, which has
been so often described and alluded 10

popularity would write an early dismissal
from the ranks Of fashionable materials.
Foulerd, too, has been sold in such quan.
titles for several weeks as To make the
more conservative minded wonder IL IL can
possibly continue to b. desirable, but il
is material that possesses rare adyan.

a becoming material in 80 far that 1,

styles OF the season is to combine IL with
another fabric, liberty satin. voilc de sol.

material. This all tends TO n variety of

that always exists when a fashion is both
practical and popular of having every
woman dressed alike is obyiated.
There Is an unusually large variety in
color and design in the foulards this
season. The white ground with whito 6.-

ure arc alike TO be found in what seems
like an endless choice. The always pop
