Wicker hampers of white lacquer
are ready at the florists for Easter
giving. The baskets will be filed with
wet sand and beneath the propped
up lid will be a mass of blossoms,
forming solid bank within the top of
the basket. Violets used in this way
are exqutsitely lovely; yellow jonquills
also are spring-like and attractive in
the white lacquer baskets. When the
flowers have faded, q sachet may be
put in the bottom of the basket which
will make an admirable glove or hand
kerchief receptacle.
1t is quite the fad to present work
baskets disguised as flower or bonbon
holders; the daintily lined and fitted
basket being of course very carefully
protected by oiled paper before the
candies or sand for fiower-stems are
added. A large two-pound bonbon
box of light blue satin is square in
shape though only two inches high
and on the cover of the box is a Wat

suits being models selected for Board
Walk wear in the morning at At
lantic City. Very conservative is the
suit of white mohair with a pin stripe
of gray. This coat has a slashed
skirt but under the slash is a petit
coat of white satin, and on this the
slash Is buttoned down with fiat pearl
buttons. The coat is a cutaway but
the cutaway is extremely moderate
and is confined to the front cores.
At the back this coat has a raised
belt of the fabric on which are fancy
buttons and loops. There is a mar
row white satin collar and below this
is a square collar of white toweling
fabric with pearl buttons and braid
trimming. This toweling collar is
slashed and through it passes a knot
ted tie of pom egranate taffeta which
repeats the color scheme of the hat
trim ming.
Another white suit of very lustrous
silk serge has a coat which suggests
the cut-away in that it slopes at the
back into a long coat-tail which
reaches far below the hips. This
white suit is trimmed with pearl but
tons and a chic touch of black is in
troduced by a shawl collar of black
and white striped gros- grain silk and
a black and white parasol. Footwear
and gloves are white and the hat is
in the new shade of cardinal red.
The third suit is not white but
very delicate champagne tint, fash
ionable in Paris just now, and the
material is a new chiffon mohair, es-
pecially lustrous and silky. This suit
is by Laborde and has a double
slashed skirt (another hyphenated
styleD, the skirt opening to the hip
at both sides under a row of loops
and buttons. This champagne mo-
hair suit has a shawl collar and cuffs
of the modish toweling and the cuffs
reach part way between elbow and
wrist, displaying long gloves of cham
payne silk embroidered with white
Though this mohair suit is quite de-
mure in style the hat is very dashing
and is made of chantilly lace over gold
tissue, with a plume in pale tan
draped along one side.
Quaint Victorian Fashions "Take
HoId.'
Nobody thought women would
think well of early Victorian styles
after the slinky, snaky draperies that
have been IL vogue for the past sea-
son or two; but everybody goes into
raptures over the cunning frocks with
quaint puffings, pipings, ouillings and
other trimmings of the Victorian era.

1T would be too banal, nowadays, to

lets, or box of roses, or even a
= growing azealea on Easter morn
ing, no matter how many dollars the
floral offering might represent. The
Easter gift, to be worthy of my modish
Iady's favor must have an original
ity-an eccentricity about it that
marks it as something above the COM
monplace rememb rance of mere bios
SONS that anybody might think of.
The florists rack their brains, at
Easter time, to evolve new and I'M
usual effects, and needless to say, one
pays a substantial sum over the very
substantial cost Of the flowers them
selves, for their fashionable mode of
arrangement.
Two new conceits for this Easter
season are pictured here; both of these
arrangements showing roses appar-
emily growing in dainty white porce
lain jars with empire decorations in
silver. OF course so many roses could
not possibly blossom on a plant set
in one of these small receptacles-
there would be no room for the roots,
to say nothing of the branches re-
quired to bear so many large and per-
feet roses. The roses, on long stems
from WHICH lH0 leaves nave OOOA
stripped are massed together in the
compact shapes pictured; the stems
are tied firmly and are set in the
earth and moss which hold the struc-
ture from topping over. Until ready
to be used on the Easter dinner ia
BILE the roses are kept in a cool place
and well sprinkled with water. The
sphere of roses is made of pale pink
La France blossoms, and the cone
shaped bush is formed of tea roses
with pink arbutus masSed at the base.
There is something very smart about
these new dinner table centerpieces of
roses, though the stiff arrangement of
the flowers could never be called
graceful or artistic.
Tall ascension lilies are arranged
in the same massed fashion, and with
the beautiful green and white of the
flower arrangement a flower pot of
sparkling cut glass makes very beau
tiful combination. These cut glass
f1ower-pots are trimmed with silver
and the glass pot is lined with white
paper before the earth is put in.
A luncheon during Easter week will
have four of these glass pots with
s'IiIy-treeS'' at the four corners of
the table, and in the center will be
one of the branching candelabra with
eight candles Shaded by pierced silver
shades over thin pale green silk lin
ings. Cut glas5 and silver dishes of
green candies, olives and sailed al
monds will be grouped about the can
delabra and at each place will be

from the time of the youthful Queens
coronation to about 1850. 1t is part
of the Victorian fad-this craze for
taffeta, and though the new taffetas
are so wonderfully soft and supple
there is a certain crispness in the
softest taffeta that foretells the doom
of clinging fashions. It has been
cleverly said that the new fashions
"are early Victorian in everything but
width" but already skirts are begin
ming to show ''godets"-an old fash
toned name for inserted cores giving
fullness; and the set-in sleeve, full at
the elbow, is the forerunner, SO the
wiseacres insist, of a decided hell
shape soon to appear.

wear hints at this fuller skirt effect

bottom but the ripple is kept in sub
lection by the weight Of the bead bor-
der trimming which holds the tunic

subdued, but not too somber and sub

up skirt referred to above. The lower
edge is slashed and drawn up to a
point above the left knee where the
drapery is held with two stitched
flaps of the material buttoned over
fiat, silk covered buttons. The little
cut-away coat (another hyphenated
effect on this costume) is adorably
chic, and the fitting of the front gore
by means of sIanting seams defined
with loops I'D buttons, is most in
teresting. Cabot Soeurs are noted for
the eccentric placing of seams and
rarely does a Callot seam go straight
up and down or across in ordinary
well-behaved seam fashion. The suit
pictured is of prune colored silk serge,
with collar Ind cuff facings of black
satin. The hat is prune colored hemp
with five roses in burgundy red ema-
mating from the crown. The parasol
has an ebony stick and a white taft
feta cover striped with black velvet.
The gloves are white and so are the
boots.
There seems to be a veritable craze
for snow white footwear and the boot
makers are deluged with demands for
white boots for wear with Easter
frocks. OF course with these white
boots will be worn white gloves and
neckwear, for the white footwear, to
be chic with a dark costume, must
have an echoing note of white. These
white boots are built for practical
street use, for they have welted soles
and heels of darker leather and the
lines are those of a well cut street
boot intended for comfortable walk
ing. They have tall buttoned tops
so that the stocking never shows even
when there is a slash in the skirt.
Afternoon costumes and trailing din
ner frocks are accompanied by de-
lightful little satin boots-one says
little" because even a number five
or six looks adorably slender, petite
and helplessly feminine in one of these
exquisitely cut satin boots which are
quite plain except for the row of small
buttons set close together, the beauty
of the boot being in its dainty cut
and fit. Colonial pumps and new
buttoned oxford that gives the instep
a pretty arch, are being ordered for
wear at Atlantic City by some women,
but the breezes are apt to be bit
chilly at Easter time by the sea, and
the wise woman abides by her smart
buttoned boots and lets well enough
in the shape of pumps and oxfords-
alone.
Light Suits in High Favor.
Three very attractive light tailor
ed suits are pictured; all of these

A Luncheon Frock BY Paquin.
This frock, as the photograph
shows, has a straight skirt of satin,
slightly fulled into a natural waist
line, and slaShed away at the lower
edge to show the foot. For Ameri-
can patrons a petticoat of some sort
Is always added to these slashed
skirts, for in America there is an un-
conquerable (by the couturiers) preju-
dice against revealing the neither ex-
tremities in anything but a bathing
suit. The satin skirt of the "Ori-
entail fantastic is in a lovely dull
blue shade and the gay cutaway
Jacket is made of cerise chiffon en-
broidered in the same shade of blue
and trimmed with crescent shaped
motifs of white silk on which are en-
broidered suns and stars in this dull
blue and much darker Indian blue.
The embroidered cerise coat fastens at
the bust and then slopes away over
full cream net vest to form the
square position at the back. High
over the cream net vest is folded
a soft cerise taffeta sash and at the
back this sash is drawn down and
knotted, beneath the coat, at the left
hip. The coloring Of this PaQuin
costume sounds more than a little
crude and bizarre-on paper; but the
dull blues, deep Indian blue, white
and cerise are really blended with ex-
Quisite harmony and beauty and the
frock is one that pleases and never
offends the eye. With it will be worn
a smart hat of navy blue milan straw
with two bows of cerise and dull
hlna faffof1. hot
side of the crown so that the ends
interlock on top.
The Natural Figure Silhouette Now.
The spring silhouette is adorably
natural and the average woman of
slender proportions casts a shadow
like unto that of Venus upon a wall
a Venus discreetly draped of course,
but with not enough drapery to hide
the graceful lines of shoulder, waist,
hip and thigh No better example of
this effect could be given than the
dainty-Callot SoeurS suit, pictured to-
day. This delectable suit is part of
an outfit which will appear on the
boardwalk and in one Of the large
hotels at Atlantic City during Easter
week. The possessor of the PaQuin
suit has just come from the French
Riviera and has several trunks filed
with costumes designed by Paris cou-
turiers for Riviera wear. These crea-
lions will undoubtedly arouse their
share of attention, even at crowded
Atlantic City; and as interesting as
any costume in the collection is this
graceful little promenade toilette by
Callot- Note the soft drapery on the
skirt and the beautiful skirt lines
which reveal without undue frankness
the curves of hip and limb, yet sug-
gest in entirety a straight, narrow
cut. This model is an excellent exam
pie, also. of the hyphenated caught

dued to be interesting. The tunic
of black shadow net, weighted with it's
pearl trimming, is dropped over
skirt of pale gray taffeta. The scarf
drapery on the bodice is of crepe
charmeuse lined with pearl gray satin.
The hat of stone colored chip is trim
med with black velvet and white hy-
drangea. Bead and metal trimmings
weight the diaphanous fabrics of
which evening gowns are made, and
the effects are clinging and classic
and very, very glittering. for diamante
effects are the grande chic and rhine
stones and other flashing stones are
sewn thickly along the edges of chif-
fons and satins, and are wrought also
into wonderful border embroideries.

lew DraPed Skirt

~ NE may not run down to Atlantic
"a City for the Easter weekend,
equipped with a suitcase con-
~ tanning a dinner frock and a
change of linen, as one. could a few
years ago. Nowadays, in order to
have a place to lay ones head on
Easter Eve, the pillow-or in other
words, the room-must be engaged for
an entire week, and must be en-
gagged, also. sometime in advance.
This, of course, if ones longing is to
stop at big and fashionable hosiery
like the Marlborough Blenheim OF one
of the other hotels where the sar-
torial display is a feature. The hotel
keepers maintain that they cannot
afford to hold rooms and suites for
the two days of the Easter Weekend;
and so the accommodations must be
taken for a week with the choice of
staying two days or seven, as one
pleases. OF course there are cheaper
and Quieter hotels which are glad to
accommodate Easter week-enders,
and at these hotels four or five cos
tunes will carry one quite comfort
ably over the Saturday to Monday
stay. But it will be necessary to
spend most Of ones time on the Board
Walk or in the corridors or dining
rooms of the fashionable places in
order to enjoy the dress pageant which
is the supreme interest of Atlantic
City at Easter time. Women-and

habnaments will feel like a dull

fine feathers.
Hyphenated Fashions Now.
new styles are described by hyphen-
ated words2 The caught-up skirt; the
cut-away coat; the set-in sleeve; the
one-side opening are all at the top
notch of fashion. These are quite
simple phrases which any woman can
comprehend, but when the styIe-de-
scribers begin to talk of godets pep
lums, positions, hat brim movements,
cravet-bows on belts. quilts of roses
and the like, many unsophisticated
folk are at their wits end to know
what these unfamiliar terms may
mean
But the cut-away coat, the set-in
sleeve, the caught-up skirt and the
one-side opening will all be important
features of the Atlantic City Easter
pageant this year, for these effects
have been adopted indisputably not
only by the Paris couturiers who
brought out the spring styles, but by
all the lesser minions of Queen Fash
ion who follow these great ones from
afar. Every woman knows now that
the cut-away coat is the thing and
unless her hips are hopelessIy prom
inent-has determined to have one of
these dashing, chic little coats. Four
varieties of the cut-away are shown
on today's page; three in tailored
suit models and the fourth in very
elaborate satin luncheon frock de-
