Many fascinating styles will be intro
duced during the coming season. Beauti-
full new materials are already shown in
the shops and the designers of fashions
have given us several distinct novelties
both in cut and trimming.
The popularity of the separate coat has
by no means ousted the tailor suit from
favor and very smart examples are
shown among the advance models. The
Russian idea is the dominant note in all
high class suits. This is varied in a
influence is noticeable only in the trim
ming on the collar and cuffs, sometimes
it + shown only by belt and buttons or
in the modified blouse effect
TOUCHES OF GOLD
Many of the new suits are of an eX-
tremely dressy type and are elaborately
trimmed A few smart models carry out
the military idea with braid and buttons,
others are embroidered in braid in fancy
designs, while some show the INTRODUCE
ton of a vest. Touches Of gold and sill
yer on collar and cuffs are seen on many
handsome suits.
Russian effects are however by no
means the only novelty Dame Fashion
has to offer us this season. The coat
with long, rolling revers fastened slightly
over to one side is very modish indeed
and bids fair to be extremely popular as
it can be worn by both young and mid
again put in an appearance and will be
worn great deal when really mild
weather arrives. In fact all coats that
can be thrown open in front to disclose
the pleated frill with which most of the
new waists are finished will without
doubt be among the favored styles for
the coming season.
SERGE THE PROPER MATERIAL.
There is no doubt at all about it, fine
serge Is without question the most fash
ionable material for a tailored suit this
spring. A number of novelty and change
able serge weaves are to be seen. Checks
will as usual be worn and fine hairline
stripes will be extremely smart. The
skirts of nearly all the new suits are
made short. Tunic and apron effects are
noted and panel effects with the pleats
running up to the waistband are also
fashionable. Some of the new skirts are
mounted on yokes of different sizes. from
small round yoke to deep yoke COM
ing below the hips.

February is the time when the woman
who is ut all forehanded begins to pur-
chase the materials for her tub frocks
and lingerie. dresses. This month all the
very choicest of the new wash fabrics
are displayed in the stores and as the
early bird, according to the proverb, al
ways catches the worm, so the early
shopper gets decidedly the best selection.
For colored wash dresses. figured lawn.
chambrav. batista, bingham. riaue and
linen are to be the most used. These are
shown both in plain colorS, checks,
stripes and figures. The linens are. es-
peciallv varied One Of the newest effects
is the Panama weave with its lustrous
surface and even mesh
with white and coored grounds with
floral or conventional figures and bord y"
effects are among the most effective Of
the summer fabrics.
CORRECT AND PRETTY LINGERIE.
Everyone is now making or buying their
stock of underwear. Buying 1t ready
made for the most part as the white sales
can testify and clever shoppers who like
French daintiness of design and trim
ming with American correctness of cut
and durability are Ms selecting s the D @nr
in a large, well lighted and thoroughly
sanitary factory under ideal industrial
conditions, these give the woman of aver
age means an opportunity to secure the
fullest possible value at moderate price.
Their liberality of material and perfec-
tion of cut is as attractive as their pref
ty up-to-date styles
WHAT THE SPRING MILLINERY is
LIKE.
In all the smartest New York shops the
most fascinating displays Of spring mil
linery are to be seen. Many of these hats
are prepared for wear at Palm Beach and
other Southern resorts where the spring
fashions always make their appearance
in advance of the real season. The new
headgear is charming and amazingly
varied. There are large hats and small
hats. huge turbans and jaunty floral
toaues. Both flowers and feathers are
used for trimming. Another marked fea-
ture is the use Of either extremely fine
straw braids such as Leghorn, Milan or
horsehair or else unusually coarse straws.
what are called cabbage. effects in
straw braids are the height Of fashion.
