the fast warm days to find her with
out a sufficient and complete outfit,
and whether spring arrives in the
middle of Lent or not, there will be
no excuse for not having the gowns
to meet it with
An indispensable costume in the
early spring is short frock of med
ium weight sufficiently smart for
luncheons, bridge parties, etc, but
not too elaborate for use later on as
shirt-waist dress. This gown fash
toned of wolfe combined with satin
will be fashionable-or of foulard, or
raiah trimmed with bands of embroid-
cred silk or of filet lace dyed the color
of the dress. A combination of two
materials as satin with silk or voile
with foulard is much in evidence
among the newest spring costumes,
while in the plain fabrics tussah, is
as popular as ever. Fleece-back
satin is TO be worn in whole gowns
as we'll as in coat and skirt costumes.
while for the last Lenten days
simply fashioned shirt-waist gown Of
highest weight serge worn with white
linen collar and cuffs and soft lace or
embroidered iabot is exceptionally
smart.
A charming little frock for after
noon wear is shown in the first figure.
It possesses excellent lines and at the
same time exhibits a simplicity that
is becoming to any figure. IL was
fashioned of a black and white foulard
over a foundation skirt of white
broadcloth. There was a little guimpe
of Princess lace and net and a strik-

Combining Materials.
The manner in which combination
of materials is worked out this year
is most Interesting. Often the up
per part of the waist will be OF satin
while the lower part is Of wolfe and
vice versa, and the skirt viii then
he worked out in the two materials.
The mandarin upper part Of the waist
when of a transparent material, as
wolfe or chiffon or marquisette, is ire
ouently laid over a foundation of pale
mink satin regardless of the color OF
the dress, and this lining is further
adorned with little ruchings OF lace
and small bowknots of ribbon which
show prettily through the bodice. A
narrow cap of the satin with its lace
ruching then falls below the sleeve OF
the dress, covering the elbow.
A combination Of two materials is
attractively shown in the second IL
lustration. Here a mauve cashmere
was used with a blue and white foul
ard This combining of violet with
blue is one Of the smartest color
schemes Of the season--although it is
combination which the French de-
signers made popular on the othel
side long ago. With the costume was
worn a dainty little guimpe of Vicy
lace, and the various sections OF the
frock itself were made noticeable will
an outline trimming of blue satin
bands.
Satin Folds.
Folds of satin on the principle of ;
piping, but about an inch wide, trim
every kind of gown this spring. Some
times the folds outline the yoke oil
vest, sometimes they are laid In bands
upon the material as braiding or lac'
is used. or. again, laid two or three
deep they form a larger fold to finisl
off the end of the lace yoke. A SAITH
fold which trims the waist of a gowI
does not necessarily appear agail
upon the skirt but often it outlines tn
different parts of the skirt II It is Of al
