tail feathers.
The ColIarIess Frock.
This summer will most certainly be
rather trying for the thin woman as
so MANY of the most fascinating of
the tub frocks are made with Dutch
necks. Many of these collarless necks
are finished by jaunty pleated frills.
Chantecler frills they are called. When
a dress of this type is not becoming IL
is always possible to add tiny lace
guimpe. These quimpes to be modish
must be of the simplest order, trans
parent and cut very shallow. FOR SILK
frocks gold, silver or self colored net
is used, or ecru or cream net or fine
quality of allover lace.
Silk and Lace Coats.
All the really smart New York shops
are filed to overlooking with silk
coats. Pongee coats of all sorts Will
be greatly used this season. These
being made up both lined and unlined.
Certain chic models have revers en-
brodered in Oriental designs with but
tons to correspond.
Black taffeta coats will also be worn
and rather short coats of satin. Wraps
for warm weather are made of chiffon
or lace. some exquisite ones being of
Chantilly-much cheaper but. for all
that. very charming wraps are made
of heavy net trimmed with jet or rat
tail embroidery.
Old Fashioned Flowers.
There never was such wide Iati-
tude shown in millinery as at the pres
ent moment Almost all shapes and
styles are fashionable. To make the
hat really modish the only necessity is
that it be becoming. There are wide
roll brimmed sailors and huge leghorns
faced with black velvet, there are tri-
cornes' and bicornes. and toques and
turbans galore. A host of old fashion
ed flowers are used for trimmings.
Roses. of course stand first in all their
varieties. delieately tinted hydrangeas
r rather long irregularly shaped
sprays. snow balls. fox gloves. tulips,
in fact almost every flower one can
think of is represented on the list.
Other hats are trimmed with POM
pons, wings of mixed brown, buff and
red, shower aigrettes phea SAINT quilts
or pure white or irridescent green
cocks feathers illustrating the Chan
tecler influence.

Now that the spring season has real
| ly opened and the modes that have
| been exhibited for the last two months
are beginning to be worn on the streets
the diversity of the fashions shown is
positively bewidering. Anything that
is becoming or rather anything that
she fancies, the Fashionable woman
wears this spring. There are long
coats and short coats, Russian blouses
and tightly fitted jackets, full pleated
skirts and Partisan models drawn into
band so that they are no more than
two yards around at the feet
There are huge spreading hats with
shade brims and hats with no brms
at all in flower pot shape. Women at
present are much more independent of
the set models than they ever were be-
fore and are going in more for adapta-
tions that suit their own particular
style.
The Fashionable Poplins.
Among the silk and wool dress goods
that are preferred to all silk by lead
ing dressmakers, the r. & S. silk pop
Inns are favorites. These have a beau
tful silken surface, and a soft pure
wool filling. that gives them their ideal
clinging and draping qualities, while it
inSureS their wear and prevents the
wrinkling which is so distressing in a
handsome costume. Vourneen, Colleen
and a number of other names ending
the same way are used to distinguish
the various widths and weights of
these silk poplins which come in the
greatest variety of shades and color
ings. including black and the fashion,
able changeables and figured effects.
Combinations Of Materials.
All sorts of materials are stylishfy
combined at present Figured silks
have plain bands or hens. Checked
woolens are almost invariably made up
with plain materials, for instance a
black and white shepherds check suit
had a Russian blouse with broad
band OF black cloth down the closing.
The pleated skirt was made with six
inch hem of the cloth, above which
were two narrow bands of the same
sable shade.
Pipings and heavy corded effects of
contrasting color are also extremely
popular.

ChantecIer Hats,

Bright colors play a prominent part
in the spring and summer modes. The
"Chantecler' vogue brought about by
the popularity in Paris of Rostands
famous play, is accountable for this.

actors take the parts of barn yard
