1ldent that its acceptance will

and we repeat it, that if more
OF the energy now spent in

voted to the betterment of

be better off. When a farmer
changes his location there

shirt waists made after the same fashion
are quite practical also since these wash
perfectly in lukewarm sOapy water and
are ironed on the wrong side when
nearly dry after the same method as the
regulation wash silks"
Ksat and Trim
Neat and trim and comfortable also, is
the woman, even of very full figure, who
wears above the top Of her corset a well
designed brassiere. This while light and
fexable holds the upper waist gracefully
erect, securing a fiat straight back by
means of a patent strap across the
shoulder, just at the top Of the corset.
Another clever feature in this "La
Refine" brassiere is q little hook that
catches in the corset laees and thus pre-
vents it from slipping out Of place.
whip Cords and sergsS
Whipcoards and serges are the
materials most employed for wool tailor
made attire and every woman who can
compass it is having as many white
serge costumes as her purse or needs
permit. These are 60 useful and becom-
ing if we'll selected that their popularity
is easily understood. Wool fringe is
used considerably as a trimming but
discreetly. If it follows the overskirt
lines that run in the fashionable
diagonal on the skirt the lapels and
sleeve cuffs are apt to want it, and be
finished in broadcIoth or ribbed facings
of silk, wool or cotton corduroy or terry
cloth. Figured ponges printed in dull
tones of red or blue makes effective
revers and sleeve iacings.
White Skirt and COlOrsd Coat
A white skirt worn with a colored
coat is one Of the present fads aud coats
of this sort are apt to be built either on
Blazer or Norfolk lines. Blue coats are
first fsvorities, but black and other tones
are permissible il preferred. The dark
coats usually have white faCings aud
buttons and Is often outlined with the
heavy cordiDg which is one Of tie Iate
wrinkles. Lucy CARrKR.

new YORK FASHIONS

NEW YORK, April. Fussy tafteta frocks
and suits of this and other elk are q
feature notable wherever the we'll dressed
assemble. ChanReables are a veritable
craze aud are used not only for froCks
and hats and their trimmings but for
bags, Innings, scarfs and coats.
The New Quaker Bag"
The new Quaker Bag in long saddle
bag style with rings in the centre to close
it is out not only in eilks but in English
Morocco. This bag opens at both ends
where gilt frames and secure fastenings
hold it for the closing hang downward in
carrying. One end holds the purse and
the other the vanity fittings, between the
two, in the centre, are the rings and
chain for carrying. In leather this style
costs $40, in moire lees, while in white
piuue trimmed with lace aud fringe it can
be mad at a very moderate figure.
Neck and Sleeve Fixings
Hand embroidered Quaker collars and
cuffs edged with Irish or Cluny lace are
fashionably worn, and frills of hemstitch
ed lawn or fne net finish most of the
three quarter sleeves that are popular for
both tailored frocks and coats. These
ruffles can be bought with rubber ribbon
fitting them to the arm which saves sew
ing in. Macrame lace for waist trim
mings in bands and collars and cuff
shapes is we'll endorsed and is most often
used with decidedly contrasting textures.
A waist OF fine Brussels net will be drest-
ed up with the heavy lace, or it will
relieve tbe>f1at look of taffets or satin.
Girdles or velvet ribbon that tie once and
have the ends weighted with fringe or
other danglers, and similar contraptions
of silk or satin are universally worn.
Very fancy belts of leather in 0colors
or soft crushable styles are also desirable
additions now that the shirt waist sea-
son is upon US.
New Waists
Severely tailored shirt waists in wash
able silks are in excellent vogue. These
have soft, close fitting collars of the
material closed with links to match those
in the turned back cuff of similar shape
which finishes the sleeve. White satin
