leading up, as it were, to this one
vivid note that holds them all in har-
mOny.
Small bouttonnieres, worn in the
coat lapel, are chosen to repeat some
color note in the hat, or to match
the eyes. The woman with blue eyes
wears with her dark street suit deep
blue bachelors buttons or asters
which make her eyes ten fold more
blue, and the brown eyed woman may
wear a geranium or a cluster of the
English wallflowers which are now in
tensely fashionable. These wallf1ow-
ers are in warm shades of chestnut,
orange and terra Gotta and they are
the fad now for corsage and hair or
naments as we'll as for bouttonnieres;
having displaced the waxen gardenia
and camelia from a long established
favor.
Artificial orchids are worn during

some women who insist upon donEing
low footwear as a spring perquisite,
AID for them there are new low shoes
which fasten with buttons and which
have very trim and dainty lines. The
foot looks trim-and what is more,
fashionable-in one of these little but
toned oxfords, and they are sure to
have a great vogue during the COM
ing season. They come in patent
leather, in tan and black calf, in gray
and light brown suede and in white
buckskin.

nosegay which will add the final
touch of spring daintiness to her COS

is usually a stay of velvet or silk
which keeps the f1imsy material in
place and offers foundation to which
to sew the ends of the collar stiff
feners. Stocks and yokes of shadow
lace are quite as pretty as the trans
parent cream net sort and are, one
feels, a bit more refined and lady
like in character than the striking,
bare neck effect achieved by the
transparency. There are rumors that
Paris is no longer favoring the little
neck bow of black velvet, folded era
vat fashion, and pinned to the front
of the stock collar with a long brooch;
but this bow and the brooch which
usually accompanies it, are still prime
favorites over here and there is no
disputing the touch of chic and style
which the little neckbow of dark vel
vet gives, poised against lacy white
neckwear. Tulle bows are beginning
to make an appearance, as they al
ways do in early spring, for these
bows have the same spiritual, delicate
suggestion that spring flowers have
and are almost invariably becoming.
The woman who really dislilkes tall
stock collars too much to don one
as a concession to the conventional.
even on Easter, may compromise with
one of the little silk cravats which
have come from Paris just in time for
early spring wear. These cravats are
made of taffeta silk and are about an
inch wide and just long enough to
tie in a smart, fiat cravat bow at the
front. They encircle the neck over
a narrow neckband set on the blouse
or yoke and beneath the cravat bow
in front falls a cascade jabot of
shadow lace or p1eated net. The era
vat is usually in some rather vivid
color like fuchsia pink, magenta, ce-
rise, emerald green, gentian blue or
some other shade that contrasts with
the more subdued coloring of the
tailored garb. OF course the cravat
must not make a discord with the
color in the Easter hat or with the
bouttonniere or corsage bouquet.
Furs Replaced BY Feathers.
Furs are called in on Easter Day
to emerge no more, officially, until
Horse Show week in the autumn; but
there are hosts of alluring feather
substitutes for fur, so no one need
suffer from chill when Easter comes
closely on the heels of March, as it
does this year. A new feather muff
with an arrangement of paradise
feathers across the front is illustrated.
The feathers of which this muff are
made are in wonderful shades of yell

to a soft, creamy tan. and the hand

spring wells are very chic and the
shadow patterns with threads of blacl
in scroll design on the sheer white
ground are perhaps the prettiest anc
most becoming. Scroll patterns are
! Immensely fashionable in veilings
now, and the shadow patterns come in
both black and white grounds. There
are some very striking shadow wells
with a pattern over only one side OF
the veil so that half the face is clearly
visible through the fine mesh and the
other is almost completely disguised.
| Such wells suggest such a happy de-
vice for concealing a Disagreement
that they are rather repulsive than
attractive, but a few women have
taken them up as novelties. Dotted
veilings are worn, and these wells are
becoming to women with brilliant
eyes and clear, blooming compilations,
though they are not as softening and
fattering as the shadow meshes.
Smart dotted wells now have the dots
arranged in geometrical designs rather

If the Easter maid desires to be
extremely up-to-date, she will cover

or as these fluffy bangs are called in
Paris now, a fringe a la CHEN; or
chichi fringe. Foreheads are as much
out of fashion as are ears, and the
chichi fringe, though very soft and
light and fluffy, should cover the
forehead to the eyebrows. Many very
smartly dressed women wear these
little fringes, and in order that the
natural hair need not be cut to make

pity - hairdressers are furnishing
these fringes at from half dollar
to five dollars each-according to the
color and the quality of hair used.
At the back, the hair is usually COW
cred by the hat, but if it were visible
one would see that 1t is dressed very
simply and is held in place by large
fancy-topped pins cleverly placed.
The Easter maid will not wear ear
rings. unless they are of the incon-
spicuous single pearl style fiat against
the ear-lobe. The swinging earring is
worn by the fashionable woman now
only with ceremonious dress.
Tall Neckwear Favored for Easter.
You will not encounter many Dutch
necks in an Easter stroll up Fifth
avenue, or along the Boardwalk at
Atlantic City. Though low cut fFocks
and blouses will come into their own
later on when the weather grows
more settled, Easter always brings
out high, well fitting, trinity boned
stock collars. The reasons for this are
the laying aside of furs, and the sug-
gestion of formality and conventional
correctness in Easter street attire;
but though the new spring neckwear
is high, it is so thin in character
that at a little distance it's wearer

all, and the smart little bow of vel

made of cream colored net which

stock is so daintily attached to the
shallow yoke that the seam is scarcely
visible either. At the top of the stock

HETHER or not one ap-
All proves of the custom of bios
~ soming forth in glorified
w spring raiment on Easter
Day, ones winter clothes, unrelieved
by any trickery of spring gaiety do
seem woefully shabby and somber in
contrast to the fresh, lively spring ap-
parel one meets; and whatever ones
personal prejudice, the necessity for
speedy spring shopping is forced upon
one. She is a prOsaic feminine soul,
indeed, who can sally forth on Easter
especially if the sun shines-in win
ter raiment ungraced by one enliven-
ing springlike touch. Even a corsage
bouquet of bright flowers will make
one feel in tune with the day, and
fresh gloves and veil and a bit of
smart new neckwear to be worn with
out the winter furs, will accomplish
wonders with the costume that has
done faithful duty all winter.
The woman who desires really to
blossom out in Easter array should
divide her funds into two equal por-
tions; one for the new Easter suit,
and the other portion for hat and ac-
cessories. The division into equal por-
lions is specified because the list of
accessories, if these essentials are in
a style fitting and appropriate to the
character of the suit, will sum up
to total of equal size. For exam
pie, the woman who may order from
a smart tailor an Easter suit that
will cost her at the very least hun
dred dollars, will easily expend on a
fashionable hat, boots, silk stockings,
gloves in the latest color, neckwear
of real Irish or Venise lace. an ex-
pensive veil, an up-to-date purse and
the last thought in parasols, another
hundred dollars; and the woman who
has to content herself with a ready
made. albeit good looking tailored
suit at twenty-five or thirty dollars
will be apt to find that her Easter
accessories will exceed that sum.
Beginning at the Top.
Let us begin at the top and consider
the needs of the Easter maid, who
it may be presumed-is already pro-
vided with a smart tailored suit of
blue serge, pale tan whipcord, checked
or invisibly striped worsted mixture,
or one of the new silky chiffon-mo-
hairs which make up so gracefully. If

otherwise she will be quite unprepared
to face the sunshine of Easter morn
ing.
In the first place she will require
a smart new veil, for this season
wells are very fashionable, owing
doubtless to the moderate size of hats.
It is difficult to adjust a veil over a
very large hat and the hair is apt to
blow loose beneath it and stray across
the eyes in the most provoking man
ner after the veil has been adjusted
with painstaking precision. A veil |
over the very small hat is also rather |
hard to arrange, for the mesh comes |
too near the face and interferes with |
the lashes. and If the hat sets back on |

back over 1t spoils its lines. But with |
