Odds and Ends for Feminine FoIks--Recpes and Hints
FASHION AND FADS
BY Maudc E. Ciuey.

The coats are bolero. Eton or
straight hip length effects. Many of
them are overtrimmed with braid,
sailor collars, buttons and fiat orna-
ments.
Blucher ties have a side-quarter off
corded cloth, a patent leather vamp
and a short heel foxing, in modified
French type. The tip is perforated.
Among the new barettes are large
ovals Of fine gold wires set In uar-
row gold rim. The wires are so strung
as to resemble a mesh of gold net OF
gauze.
Blouses Of transparent goods over
white or colors are in the spring
showing, although they do not hold
the attention as closely as they did
last fall.
A remarkable feature of tho spring
millinery is the extreme pliability of
the hats; they may be twisted and
turned to suit the face Of the wearer
at will.
Large hats and small, picture hats
and those of tailored style are all the
vogue, and all unite in their endeavor
to conceal the face of the wearer as
completely as possible.
There is a tendency to combine sew
eral varieties OF laces and embroid-
cries in the ornamentation OF one
waist. but the result is not one Of
great transparency, rather of rich
ness.
Among the new waists one sees \
great number made of the new wash
silks and Of China silk, silk muslin,
nets Of various kinds. and all-overs Of
both lace and embroidery.
Some people have blue de roy, green
or violet ribbon tying their patent
leather walking shoes, recalling the
belt, or the embroidery, or some sort
Of trimming on the costume
A combination Of fiat venise lace
on heavy filet net is very beautiful
and modish, and so are darned filets,
especially a new variety, in brilliant
colOred Oriental designs on ecru net
The directoire note is struck over
and over in the new spring styles. II
is in the coats, in the hats. in the
revers, the plated frills, and the long,
tight sleeves. 1t isn't new; far from
it; but It is ppoular.
There are some dainty handker-
chiefs TO be seen. In the morning
people use. with their simple tailor
dresses, tiny squares Of white batiste
embroidered in khaki, rose, blue, gray,
with small monograms 10 match.
The prettiest handkerchiefs are
edged with the narrowest width of
real Valenciennes, and have an inner
wreath worked very finely i'm white
satin stitch, or else simply the corners
with embroidered butterflies, flowers
or dragon flies.
Everyone is trying to be tall and
slim, so there is a great fancy for
very high heels, and chaussure is
elaborate I'm the extreme. A pretty
idea is to have it match the scarf
or the bandeau If the dress is black,
white or neutral shade.
! The very latest Paris modification
Of the artificial corsage bouquet is the
single flower, an orchid, chrysonthe-
mum, or what not, worked in delicate
shades Of fine wool, wonderously
wrought both as to form and color,
and nestled within the scarf.
A very pretty lace fichu consists
Of three inches Of black mousseline de
sole as a band, and below that is a
wider band of fine old point de Milan
lace, falling on a strip OF double nous
seline de sole. The fichu crosses at
the front and falls at either side in
| two long ends.
. The trouser skirt-the jupe-culotte
may not become popular. but it Is
so modified and refined that it Will be
worm The harem skirt is impossible.
The two are entirely different; the
public does not have this difference
fixed in their minds when the fashion
was first cabled to this country.
One may say that every style OF
coiffure is fashionable and with equal
truth add ornaments as we'll" No
matter how the hair is arranged there
is worn on the head a mass of curls
Duffs, braids, etc, and some dainty bit
of shell, gold, silver. semi-precious
jewels, beads, ribbon. flowers, chiffon
etc.
