ADMIRAL TOGO'S EXPECTED
VISIT.

WASHINGTON, April s.-Elabo-
rate plans are being considered for the
reception and entertainment of Admir-
al Togo Haihachiro, the Nelson of
Japan" who will visit the United
States and Canada some time after
the coronation of King George in
June, which he will attend as the off
cial representative of the Japane gov
eminent. In recognition of the high
official rank of Admiral Togo and of
his fame as one of the greatest sea
fighters of modern history the great
est honors will be shown to him and
the program will comprise reception
by the president, state banquet and
numerous other official functions of a
more or less elaborate character.
1t is not yet definitely settled when
Admiral Togo shall arrive and how
long he shall remain. According to
present plans, however, the admiraPs s
visit will be rather brief, as he in
tends to visit Canada before he sails
back to Japan on the steamer Sado
Maru, leaving Victoria, B. c., about
July Is.
Admiral Togo, who is now about
sixty years old, comes from an ancinet
and honored Samurai family, which
gave many distinguished fighters to
Japan and reflected credit upon the
Satsuma clan, to which it belonged.
There was a time when practically
the whole Japanese navy was officer
ed by members of the Satsuma clan,
just as the Japanese army drew near
ly all its officers from the aqually
powerful and warlike Choshu clan
Nowadays, either the navy nor the
army of Japan is entirely given to
these, the two most powerful clans
of feudal Japan; but many men from
all parts of the empire are to be found
in both services. When Togo entered
the navy, however, practically its
whole personnel was Satsuma. Togo
received a great part Of his educa.
tional and naval training In England

FADs AND FASHIONS.

NEW YORK, April 8.-The Easter
displays in the fashionable shops are
attracting thousands of women and
among them are dressmakers from all
parts of the country, who have come
to New York to make careful study
of spring and summer styles, as prog
nosticated in the latest models. The
displays are well worth seeing and
are not only pleasing to the eye but
highly instructive.
Not in many years have good laces
been used SO freely as they are this
season and never within memory have
the lace departments Of the different
fashion shops made so superb show
ing Of real laces, old and new, and of
fine limitations. The filet meshes are
particularly popular, and stunning de
signs are offered in the hand darned
filets, some Of them priced at figures
prohibitive for the d. Arape shappcr,
LJt other less elaborate quite moder-
ate in price, as hand wrought laces
go.
Venetian lace is as mu n favo,ite
as ever and SO is Irish, white Mech
lin, Alencon, Chantilly and all the fine
laces are equally popula.' for their
appropriate purposes. A creamy or
yeilowed tone suggesting the mellow
tint of the old laces Is preferred even
In the new lace and one sees much
less of the pure white Irish and other
white laces than In former years The
spIne is true of the batis.e aid linen
embroideries, and the sJftened tone IL
indefinitely more beet ming than the
white. 1t harmoniles more delightful,
ly with everything save pure white
lingerie materials, and since the big
lace collars, fichus, ETC., which are
prominent this season, are to be used
OH all kinds of material, the yellowed
lace 10 eminently desirable.
1t is by no means an unusual thing
to find four or five kinds of lace in
troduced upon one Of the imported
French models, and admirable results
are obtained in this way, while the
combination of very bold, heavy lace
such as flet, Venetian or Irish, with Q
fine lace Is almost inevitable, when.
ever lace enters largely into frocl
or coat. Beautiful unlined coats oi
lace, long, clinging and exceedingly
graceful Of line, are shown by almost
every importer and In many the EN-
pire idea is recognized by some shor'
bolerolike or deep yoke effect worket
out in heavy lace, while the sof
lengths below are Of fine lace, through
which the outline Of the clinging frocl
shows vaguely.
Coats Of the same general characte
in embroidered chiffon or tulle arr
numerous and are, like the lace coats
often an integral part Of costume
being worn rather as tunic, than a
a coat over q simple short waiste'
frock Of beautiful lines. The coat
Of one kind and another are reall!
fascinating this spring. They run tn
gamut from the shortest and mos
whimsical Of boleros to the full lengtl
redingote and there is extraordinar,
variety in their lines.
These coats are fashioned Of al
sorts Of materials and worn for a
sorts Of occasions. Many Of the SINAI
coats have an air distinctly youthful
due largely to the low necks and col
lars, but there are plenty Of model
from the best houses showing
guimpe and high collar, and whieh n
developed along ~ hnss Tat ass ~
