effect is unquestionably chic. For aft.
ernoon suits the etamine will be as
frvilous and foolish as possible. II
will trim itself in myriads of little
boillonne effects, and by that is meant
putting and gathering. The etamine
was greatly to the fore six or eight
summers ago, and it is sure to have
great vogue now. The wool etamine
will be stylish, likewise a cotton ma.
terial similar to the real etamine.
Another material known as sponge
cloth will be feature not only OF
tailor-mades but of afternoon frocks
as well. The sponge cloth is by no
means light, for with the fuzzy finish

finish. Rather is it like crash cloth,

Every year it is made more posi-
BILE to determine just what the sum.
mer fashions are to be, so there is no
longer any risk of having the summer
outfit completed while the days are
still sufficiently cool to make the
necessary shopping and fitting tours a
pleasure rather than an ordeal. The
shops are certainly displaying the
widest variety of summer fabrics in
their history. Embroidered linens and
batistes of all possible descriptions
are on view in an infinite variety of
effects at such an extraordinary range
of prices that every purse may be
suited. Perhaps the open English eye
let work is trifle the most in demand,
but heavy filled in patterns are much
in evidence as well, and then there
are patterns showing combination of
the two styles of work which will
make a very smart frock indeed.
1t has been stated that this is to be
a summer when all-white will predom-
mate. This may or may not be the
case, but surely the allwhite gowns
with color introduced only in the rib
bon trimmings and with character
given to the costume by hat, parasol
and frequently silk hose as wen of
bright cerise, electric blue, jade green
or the gentler mauve and lavender
tones will inevitably stand out and be
remarked rather than the sweetly sim
pie, perhaps too simple lead white
costume Then, too, all white is now
permissible in even first mourning,
and this rapidly increasing custom of
wearing according to the climate all
white alternately with black to desig-
nate mourning has done more than
else to keep the bright hues
in vogue for combination with the
white frocks.
Especially smart this year are the
colored linens embroidered in white
or in their own tones. Also white en-
broidered in color is distinctly smart.
Delft bIle, green's of all hues and the
tones are especially numer-
Gus among the embroidered wash
stuffs.
A very dainty mode of using scraps
OF fine lace has recently been invented
by a designer, no doubt unoccupied at
present, since his work of making
new styles was handed over to the

ize and carry into execution. While
the lace is of scraps, the scraps must
harmonic, not only as to quality but
as to pattern also, or II unlike each
other, the contrast must be decided,
but not shockingly so. The idea in
question consists of little apron of
lace, which takes the place of the
straight front panel Of dress. The
edging can be of different lace, and
there can also be contrasting inser-
tions. If one have, for instance, nice
sized piece of all-over insertion, but
not enough to meet the requirements
of an apron, then the original piece
can be eked out to the required size
by insertions and bands of insertions
of various kinds, marked in difference,
those finished with edgings, ruchings
of chiffon or any little banded trim
ming desired put on in stitched effect.
A fashion introduced last summer
which is destined to wide favor for the
coming spring and summer is the COM
bining of chiffon and silk with cos
tunes of both linen and lingerie. Nat
urally in trimming gown of wash
material, either with silk or chiffon,
this trimming must be put on In such
a way that it can be readily removed.
Often two or more sets of trimming
OF different color are provided for the
one frock, thus giving practically a
second gown in the outfit. Unless in
tended for very elaborate wear, indeed,
such as the most formal of luncheons
or garden fetes, all gowns of Soto
speak summer fabric will barely es-
cape the fround all around.

Fads and Eancies

New York, March 19.-The vogue
for silk, especially taffeta, finds ex;
preston in every form of dress this
season. Really there are no exceptions
to the rule, which proves the infalli-
bility of the adage about rules and
exceptions. Hats are made of taffeta
and trimmed with it.; coats are made
of taffeta, trimmed with it and lined
with it. And frocks are taffetaed from
neckband to hem. Even extreme fash.
ions in shoes show tops of taffeta cor
responding with the color OF the dress.
For dressy toques there are some
splendid French designs of taffeta
overlaid with handsome laces-the pat
terms that show very bold designs with
open mesh. Toques with high crowns,
\ round, pointed, square or any shape
desired and the tiny brims rolling at
the sides and back and cut away to
nothing at the front are the acme of
good taste and the latest in millinery
fashions.
They are trimmed either with bows
of taffeta or with malines, in two
shades. Black and white malines
wired in the forms of all kinds of
bows are very charming for spring
and summer hats, only because the
trimming is inexpensive as we'll as
pretty it is apt to be overdone.
The idea of OVERLAPPING taffeta with
heavy lace is pretty one and the
effect is always rich and most desir-
able. Some of the dressy little coats
for spring costumes show trimmings
of coarse lace introduced at the sides,
about the hips as we'll as at the neck
and sleeves. Particularly chic is a
coat of chanegable taffeta, orchid and
dark blue. Instead of pockets there is
an applique of heavy lace dyed the
color of the blue in the silk. This is
stitched onto the silk above the waist
line and the upper part of the coat is
slightly fulled into it, blouse fashion,
but the fullness extends only as far
as the line of the lace. The revers are
also of the lace and the broad sailor
collar is of the taffeta. There are
cuffs of taffeta finishing taffeta
sleeves, with undercuffs of lace under
meath.

of lace are among the luxurious things
of dress, but there are, to be sure,
many ways of gaining the rich effects
without spending rich sums upon them.
Then, for walking or semi-dressy oc-
casions there are one-piece dresses
showing combinations of plain and
striped silks in wonderfully smart
effects.
No one questions the prominence
of taffeta, but there are also many
other charming fabrics in the shops
for spring dresses, both tailormades
and light afternoon frocks. Heavy
etamine will be one of the most highly
favored materials for spring use. For
tailor-mades it is trimmed with stitch
ing and big pearl buttons, and the

"Overhano" Houses.

By the year 1910 wooden chimneys
and log houses of the Plymouth and
Bay colonies were replaced by more
slightly houses of two stories. which
were frequently built with the second
story 5utting out foot or two over the
first and sometimes with the attic
story still further extending over the
second story. This "overhang" Is pop
ularly supposed to have been built for
the purpose Of affording a convenient
shooting place from which to repel the
Indians. This is however. an historic
fable. The overhanglng second story
was common form OF building In
England in the time OF Queen Eliza
beth, and the Massachusetts and Rhode
Island settlers simply and naturally
copied their old homes.

The river is filed with floating Ice.
The ice is soft, however, and there
fore not strong enough to crush the

The persons the ferryman attempt
ed to carry across the river were pas
sengers from the Cotton Belt railroad
who arrived at Birds Point, Mo. The
railroad ferryman refused to attempt
to make the trip and they then hired
an independent ferryman. The boat
was too heavily loaded and the ferry
man lost control in midstream. The
boat was then caught in an ice foe
and drifted quickly out of sight in the
