EASTER FASHIONS IN new YORK.
The Peasant Dress=-=FOulards Much Worn
Emerald Green===Pongee Sailor Hats.

As Easter approaches tlc fashions for
the coming season declare themselves
with no uncertain note. Paris has voiced
the mandate that certain things are to
be worn throughout the spring and sun
mcr and New York has already modified
some of the cNtravagant ideas of the
French designers to bring them into per-
feet harmony with American good taste:
The peasant type of dress, as il is call
cd. Is the latest idea from across the wa
ter and very pretty and sensible little
frock II IS with a most becoming blonsa
waist that adapts itself to all occasions
and can be utilized in Il chic morning
frock of the smartcst of evening cos
tunes.
THE TUNIC IDEA
The tunic effect in some form or other
! is shown on more than half the new
skirts. These ovTrdrcSScs are called by
different names in the various shops.
as ''pepuns.'' ''polonaises" ''Graped
skirts on even apron fronts" but TIL,
lines are very much the same. The fish
wife ovcrskirt that was brought out in
the winter is still the very height of
fashion. 'E-~
INDRO STANDINGS ANrNFOIuARDS
Foulards have come into their own
again and ar shown in Il greater variety
Of patt rms than for years. The double
widths that sell at 81 80 per ward up arr
| most desirable for dress purposes but
the single widths ut only about onc-thiri
thlS price, nr' excellent for Innings and
trimmings. Lord and Taylor is making a
fascinating display of these and of the
new indru Standings six, which cones
in all tn" fashionable colorinsS. AMI i,
The idea, fabric for the in,ii ;p,.nsablc suit
or dress that fits in snartly for any "c a.
sion yet is durable enough To stand the
wear of travel motoring or shopping
Woven in regular irreSulaiity," With
n soft sheen that distinguishes them fro
commoner silks, these sell for 81 per yard.
Because the blacks are skein dyed they
are perfect jet with none of the dusty
gray appearance that is SO distressing.
FASHIONABLE COLoRs.
The fashionable colors are various soft
shades of tan called pongee tnts, pink
and lavender orchid shades and delicate
hyacinth blues. Catawba is also much
very bright tint of green. the real emerald
green. is the latest Paris novelty and SO
also is a very brilliant shade of deep
blue. These two rather garish colors are
when the effect of the color shining
through the misty black covering is very
lovely. "Chanteclar'' red is another novel
tint
EASTER HATS
The early date of the great church fes-
tiVal makes it imperative for the we'll
dressed woman to begin soon to plan her
Easter hat. While few freakiSh styles
are shown the majority of the millinery
is eminenty sensible in shape, and some
eSCue. TurbanS are popular especially
the Bcorne or those which are oblong in
shape and pointed in front. Some very
smart turbans have rows of rather fiat
| roses forming the brim. with fancy straw
in a shade to exactly match the flowers
forming the crown. The trimming con-
sists of a bandeau and big bow of vel
vet of slightly deeper tone than the
roses.
| SAILORS AND 1850 BONNETS.
The sailor hat has come to its own
again. a large. rather low crowned
sailor with rolling brim. These hats
are trimmed. sometimes simply with a
rakish bow of velvet. or lace. or maline
| or they are made more dressy by garni-
! lures of flowers. Sailors made of natural
| colored pongee or tussah silk, faced with
velvet and trimmed with Il band and bow
| of velvet ribbon are shown as an OK
| IRENE novelty for early spring travelling
| wear.
! Another novel fancy is the 1850 bonnet
in shape. rather like the motor bonnet
popular in the winter but made of shirred
| moussclinc de sole. chiffon or net and
| trimmed with a wreath of tiny pink rose
buds. 1t has broad strings that can be
tied beneath the chin or left flowing
