colors are always in demand by the
southern tourist. White serge suits and
dresses, as well as the new crepe which
is called mistral cloth, and the lingerie
dresses are seen in many attractive de-
signs. Black and white combinations are
again popular, and are shown in variety
of effective ways. Lingerie dresses are
exceptionally dainty, made, as many of
them are, of a combination of 1aces and
sheer materials. Hand embroideres also
enter conspicuously into the designing of
lingerie dresses, the heavily padded de-
signs being especially noticeable. Lin
gerie dresses are sometimes combined
with black taffeta, or black taffeta
dresses are combined with lingerie ma
terials.
Black satin is used to quite an extent
in the making of lingerie dresses, and
black velvet in the form of buttons and
girdles is frequently used as a trimming
of lingerie dresses. Some of the crepe
dresses trimmed with combination
of black and white braid, the trimming
being confined as a rule to the upper por

TUNES in various forms are extensively
used in the designing Of dresses of all

The normal waist line will be seen to

which have a normal waist line show
some fullness, generally in the form of
double box pleatS, which are arranged
in the back of the skirt and are shall

the foot of the skirt.
The set-in sleeve in the kimono effect
continues to be the popular model. While
the sleeves made in one with the waist

A Dainty Bedroom Belonging.

THE slender little table, standing be-
side the bed and bearing nothing
but candle and perhaps miladis prayer
book. gives finishing touch of daintiness
and refinement to the bedchamber. Now
adays the ready-to-hand candle is re-
placed by an even more ready electric
bulb, which may be switched on in an
instant if occasion requires. One of these
bedside candlestick arrangements In up
to-date style is an exquisite affair OF
white celluloid. matching the celluloid
bureau fittings now so fashionable. The
candlestick is a tall column of the cell
luloid and the shade is a lattIced affair
of paper-thin celluloid over shade
of pink silk. OF course, no candle flame
is used with the celluloid. tiny electric
bulb is hidden under the shade and a
white silk cord extends from the bulb to
the electric button convenient to miladi's
hand.

"7HEN one enters the millinery de-
w partments of the large dry goods
stores just now it is a difficult
matter to determine whether it is mid
summer or mdwinter, as half of the de-
partments are given over to a display OF
millinery typical of winter, and the other
half to leghorns and the most summary of
millinery, which is suitable for the south
ern resorts.
The small and medium shapes in mil
linery are the center of attraction, and IN
the ma jority of cases the upturninS OF
the brim is a noticeable feature of their
designing but the dropping brim IS not
by any means neglected, and some of tile
shapes are of the typical mushroom de-
sign. Combinations of materials are quite
frequently noted, velvet and hemp or leg
horn beng shown. The crowns and uii-
derbrimS are many times of velvet, ana
the upper brim of braid. Many of the
hats snow deep tianges of velvet or taf1e-
Ia and underbrim faclngs either OF vel
vet or silk are shown on substantially
everything.
One of the newest features in millinery
is the taffeta hat, and in practically all
instances it is shirred, or else put upon
the frame full. The crowns are many
times of the tam-o- Shanter design, put
not in the straight fiat style we are ac-
customed to, but instead lined softly to
give it some height, and caught on the
side back or front to give it irregularity,
and therefore making it UNNECESSARILY
more becoming to women.
Fancy feather effects in ''stick-ups' or
in cockade effects, the latter being made
of ribbon. feathers or malines, are much
used as a trimming for the tailored mil
linery. while flowers, algrets, paradise
and ostrich are used on the more dressy
millinery.
Displays OF dresses for the southern
tourist are attractiy and are full of in
terest, as the features of their designing
embody the newest ideas in dress FASH
ions for spring. White is shown to a
greater extent than color in dresses ana

Tariff Board Gets s225, 900.

Washington.-Pre Tafts tar
iff board has secured the promise of
one more year of life from the Sen
ate. After a short fight, that body,
by a vote of "a to 20. authorized in
the sundry civil appropriation bill an
expenditure of s225,OO0 for another
years work of investigation by tho
tariff experts.
Whether the appropriation is made
will depend on the strength with
which the House resists the Senate's
demands. The House refused to pro-
vide for the tariff board when it
framed the sundry civil bill and its
conferees are expected to fight the
provision.
The presidential tariff board was
made more subservient to Congress,
however. by an amendment of Sen
