FADS AND FASHIONS

New York. March 2.-The woman
lem of what she shall have for Easter
ought 10 see the new bordered mater
ials. They are not limited TO any par
ticuar fabric for one not confined
ticular fabric for one will find them in
cotton muslin as we'll as in charm
euse satin; their colorings are not con-
fined to one-tone effects, for they re-
Oriental effects. They just seem de-
signed to please every possible taste
and If possible, every pocketbook.
Then, too, they are SO varied that
there is not the slightest chance of
these new spring and summer mater
ials being spoiled because of their
universal modishness.
The new materials with their Won
derful color effects offer an opportun-
ity for the display of no end of dainty
accessories of dress. For instance,
there is the toreador sash for daytime
wear. 1t is merely soft sash of satin
ribbon. ranging from eight to fifteen
carelessly about the waist and low
swung at either side with one end
over the other, unknotted. This does
not replace the very narrow, plain CIR
die however, which is coming more
prominently to the front each week.
In fact the belt made of narrow bands
of satin cord lis an accessory to be
reckoned with in getting up the sum-
mer wardrobe.
Girdles and sashes were never more
important nor more complicated than
they are this year. Paquin sends
over a new model which is rather diff
ticult of management or, perhaps, it
would be better to say, of arrange
ment. 1t is curved high in the back,
after the fashion of the peasant bod
ice, and curved again-but more
sharply-at the lower edge. with a
softly folded piece slipped under
meath. 1t is the same in front. The
section slipped under may be of con-
trasting color, or gives an excellent
excuse for the employment of embroi-
derry or brocade.

scarf length caught in with the I'M
der part of the sleeve to the arm
side, this being drawn diagonally
across to regulation belt proportions
at the other side, or perhaps a trifie
to one side, either toward the back or
front. There it is fastened with an
ornament of the girdle silk, or with
one of the fancy metal slides that
are so effective. That calls to mind
new slide that designers have nam
ed after Blanche Bates who wears it
in "Nobody's Widow 1t is a silver
rope twisted into a bow, with long
ends and tassels. 1t is quite the fad
this season to name new trimmings
and materials after popular actresses
or favorite plays. Balkan Princess
satin is new fabric that is unusually
lovely, coming in all of the new
shades of the material and being, if
such is possible, softer and more lus-
trous than any that have gone before.
But we are not done with sashes. A
word must be said of a new feature
in connection with the latest skirts
the Independent sash. The novelties
above described are usually consider
ed a part of the frock of muslin, eta
mine. silk or dainty material But
the independent sash is. we'll just
what it's name implies. 1t is started
at any point from the waist down,
and its ends, hemmed, fringed or tas-
selled are, as likely as not, permitted
to trail along anywhere from a few
inches to half yard or more beyond
the hem of the skirt. This sash is
exploited by one of the actresses in
current play. OF course for street
wear the ends are shortened, but the
effect is very good to look at indeed.
The season is full of novelties
Many of the most striking are to be
found in the tub materials. There
