CHANGING STYLES.
Pointers to the Women on What to
Wear and How to Wear It.

Wear and How to Wear It.
Sleeves of different lengths and of
different colors are worn in the same
gowns.
Dainty under muslins in the advance
spring STYLES are richer than ever with
embroidery.
Wide braids are seen on many of the
white serge and mohair tailored suits.
Kid gloves on the glace order and
usually white, are worn with any even
ing costume.
White, pink, light yellow and Ameri-
can Beauty shades are the most pop
ular for evening gowns.
Polished wood buttons. of cloth and
silk colors are in great favor for polo
and storm coats.
Irish lace bands-carrying out the
Irish lace vest or collar so much worn
-adorn many sleeves.
Black and white effects are being
made up in many lines. A favorite
with several of the manufacturers is
the back ground with white pencil
lines.
The raglan sleeve predominates in
the evening coat, the kimono sleeve is
next in favor and after that the ortho-
dox coat sleeve of generous size.
For evening frocks select satin, chif-
fon, beaded net, lace or velvet. Trim
with bead landings, hand embroidery,
fur, ribbon or bead fringe.
Wells of solid color-blue and brown,
lavender and even black-have very
brilliant borders, varying from three
to five inches.
Handsome beaded bags show no
signs of waning in popularity, but the
ones done in very small beads is now
considered quite the thing.
For evening coats plush and other
fur fabrics are in great demand, and
they are also used as Innings for coats
of chiffon, satin, lace, ETC., according to
information from Paris.
The new cotton goods just opened
for spring are passing beautiful. The
first striking feature of them is the
prevalence of borders.
The most beautiful pieces among the
novelties come from France. Persian
patterns and colors are back again and
prominent, but they are not alone, for
the flowered borders and the patterns
whose motives suggest vague hints of
natural shapes in the new art style are
also prevalent. Flower designs were
never so beautiful or fascinating be-
fore.
There are hosts of thin materials
all the swisses, organdies, voiles,
crepes and nameless weaves, playing
on the old types. And among these
cottons are exquisite pieces that will
make lovely evening gowns, for cotton
holds a high place in the wardrobe of
today.
In the borders one finds all the pat
terms that have been pleasing the fash
ion makers for the past year-natural
looking flowers, oriental designs and
tones, copies from old French museum
pieces, laces and stencilings. All pock-
ct books and all tastes can certainly be
suited in the new cotton goods.
Many a girl is just now planning
what clothes she shall get for the
spring season. Perhaps the plan of one
of the best dressed women Of Paris for
a successful wardrobe will aid In
spending the dress allowance to the
best advantage.
Says this clever Frenchwoman: Il
buy only four new gowns year.
get one in the spring, one in the sum-
mer, another in the fall and the last
in the winter. One year 1 will get
good tailored suit, an evening dress,
fine negligee, perhaps, and so on. An
other year I will choose a morning
gown, an afternoon dress, a dance
frock, and of course, have some re-
modelling done on last years wardrobe
if necessary. In these gowns special
ize, let each represent a class and in
this way I have a good toilet for ev-
cry occasion.
Then I spend the rest of my allow
ance on the very smartest and best
neckwear, wells, gloves, and other lit
tie things, that I can afford. These
dress esceteras if they are dainty and
smart, count more for effect in the
long run than fine dresses without
them. If you can't afford both, my ad-
vice is to get plain or conservative
dresses and suits and add chic, and
vary their monotony with little things.
Hats, wells, shoes, neckfiXings and
gloves have lot to do with the smart
ness of ones appearance. An eXpen-
sive suit with the wrong hat, doesn't
look half so we'll as a cheaper suit
with the right hat"
One of the first items to consider for
the spring season is the blouse for ear
ly spring wear. The fall and winter
waists are now beginning to show
wear, and the problem is to get some
thing in a washable waist that will do
to finish the winter season with and
will also go we'll with the new spring
suit.
There is a great tendency to favor
white lace and net underbodice with
the transparency in suit coloring. The
simplest of trimmings are used, and
in many cases the waist is quite plain
to the collar line. At this point, hand
embroidery and beading are used as
finish.
A new note is the detachable frill,
which may be worn with several
waists. When the frill is used for
waists fastening in the middle instead
of the side, crochet d edging is ap-
piled to both edges of the frill.
In the tailored models there is con-
siderable elaboration shown in con-
struction. They are made with groups
of plaits, broad ones over the should
ers. All tailored models have full
length sleeves, with straight, starched
cuffs, though some have the soft turn
back collar and cuff finish.
