Getaway coats are much liked and
collars are apt to be comparatively
narrow at the back, but with wide revers
at the front. Ratine has taken an estab-
lished place and will be used both for
entire costumes and for trimming. It Is
exceedingly handsome upon taffeta, upon
serge and upon cloth. Altogether it makes
a valuable addition to materials.
Young girls find the sharp cutaway
effect exceedingly becoming and this
little coat illustrated below IS one Of the
jauntiest possible. IL can be finished
with or without the collar and with three

two pieces and can be finished at either
the high or natural waist line.

Silks of all kinds suggest themselves
at once for gowns such as those shown IN
the illustration, for this is essentially
silk season. But silk is not the only
material that is fashionable, and wool
voiIes and marquisettes will be extern
sively worn; challis is always a lovely
material, and French serge is much liked
for indoor gowns.
Wool with silk will be much used, too,
and satin retains all its favor. Pongee
is one OF the practical materials that can
be utilized in a great many ways, and
every woman likes to include a foulard
in her spring outfit. Young girls, who
are looking forward to school fetes, find
the beautiful marquisettes and voiles
attractive as well as lovely, and the same
materials in simple designs can be used
for the younger contingent.
They launder perfectly and easily, 50
that they are far from perishable. As
a rule dresses of this kind are made
unlined and worn over slips of India
silk. Often clever girls make two or
more slips of different colors with one
gown and so obtain the effect Of several
costumes, while in reality there is only
The Washington herald., 1912-03-31

THE opening Of the spring season brings
the demand for all sorts of attract
i've costumes both for the grown
ups and for the little girls. Children, too,
are looking forward to two important occa-
SONS. Many of them will be confirmed
and many Of them will be graduated.
Both these events mean the necessity
for pretty and appropriate toilettes.
Beautiful fabrics are many and are
varied, but the lingerie materials seem
to make an especial appeal and are
exceptionally lovely. A great deal of
eyelet embroidery is to be used and
numberless beautiful bordered fabrics
are shown which can be made into
dresses for young girls and children
with very little labor and with extremely
beautiful effect.
Marquisette and wolfe are to be ex-
tensively worn, and they are both dainty
and smart in the extreme, and the simpler
lawns, batiStes and the like never were
prettier, while the embroidered flouncings
are to be found in exceptionally attractive
designs and effects. Surplice lines are
exceedingly smart and indeed are promi-
nent in all the spring models.
The Washington herald., 1912-03-31

This year the younger contingent will
wear a great many attractive costumes.
For the older girls suits are closely like
those Of their elders, and much the same
materials are used. but taffeta of the
plain sort is a little mature in suggestion
and the light weight serges and similar
woods are to be preferred, with trimming
Of silk or Of ratine. Linen and silk ratine
in the natural color are particularly well
liked for this use upon the dark blues
and other fsvorite colors of the season.
The younger girls viii wear great many
suits in Norfolk style. They are always
pretty and attractive, and they can be
made very simple and adapted to school
wear or Of a finer material and adapted

pongee and, indeed, all seasonable sorts
are to be worn, and combinations Of ma
terial are exceedingly smart.
The materials are all good. but the
one salient feature Of the spring is the
opportunity it offers for individual selec-
ton and preference, and every one OF
these gowns could be made from diff
ferent materials to be equally smart and
equally attractive. Unquestionably q
great many tunics are to be worn. but
in the greater number Of instances the
effect is simulated, the tunic being joined
to foundation portion, 50 that We are
relieved Of the weight of the double skirt
and also the expense entailed by the extra
quality Of material.
The general tendency Is toward a
graceful, essentially feminine effect. The
long dropping shoulder line is the pre-
ferred one and every possible variation
Of the 6chu 10 to be worn. IL is always
dainty and pretty and it allows a great
many opportunities for drapings-
The simple one that is brought down
and Tapped in surplice style IS always
graceful and attractive, but there are
new models that are arranged to give
more Of the bertha effect and draped
slightly at front and back that are very
charming for the lace and bordered ma
terials that make such feature Of the
season.
Shadow lace is daintiness itself and
fchus made thereof can be utilized for
wear over almost any pretty gown. and
the use of such a garniture means an
up-to-date touch and a sense Of newness
and daintiness that is charming in the
extreme.
Fine muslins are much liked for such
accessories also, however, and very charm
ing hchus are made Of dotted Swiss muslin
with frills Of lace, while embroidered mus
Inns are lovely in the extreme and the
6chu Of that material is always a most
attractive one.
Position extensions are new and greatly
liked, but they are not necessary and each
woman is quite free to select the hchu
that she prefers and to arrange it in the
way that Is best adapted to her own figure.
Almost as a matter Of course sashes
and crushed belts will be worn also, for
the two belong together by right OF
natural selection.

one. For the younger girls there are so
many pretty materials that it is almost
impossible to enumerate them.
White is always favorite, but the
dainty striped voiles and the like sug-
gest themselves at once and are singu-
lariy appropriate, and for the more
sturdy dresses will be used linen. cotton,
popIin. pique, galatea and all fabrics of
the kind.
Peplums are shown upon simple over
blouses too, and the overblouse is such
an altogether becoming little garment
that every woman will like to know
that it has returned to favor. The new
ones are made with deep arm-hoIes and
many Of them are just buttoned into
place over the shoulders. Such over
blousss are made both with skirts to
match and of silk to be worn with skirts
Of wool, or Of chiffon over a lace waist,
or of another similar material.

Spring Suggestions for the Younger Contingent

to dress occasions. They are more youth
full in effect than the regulation jacket
suit, and they are, indeed, altogether to
be desired. French serge is good ma
terial for girls costumes whatever form
they may take, and also for the separate
coats that are apt to be needed, and
blue, brown and tan shades will be ex-
ceedingly fashionable.
For the very tiny children, coats that
cover or nearly cover the dress are
always needed, and the same favorite
serge is liked, while broadcloth always is
used, and there are some cheviots that are
admirable for the purose. The collars are
square at the f-st and of moderate width
at the back.

IS PARTIAL TO MADERO
Government Is Accused of Unfair
Dealing in Mexico.

Washington Dec 11.-W. S. Pence, of
Chicago; H. S. Stephenson, of Los An
geles, and E. K. Warren, of Three Oaks,
Michigan, having interests in Mexico,
have protested to the state department
against what they claim is the prac-
tice of the United States in permitting
exports of arms and ammunition to the
Madero forces in Mexico while prohibit
ing them to Orozco.
Three men recently appeared before
the senate committee headed b.. Sen
ator w. Alden Smith, investigating
whether the revolutions in Mexico have
been full fomented or aided by Amer
leans. The three men have pointed out
that the effect of the application of
such a rule has resulted in forcing the
rebels to levy upon Americans in Mex
leo by a system of forced loans, or ram
SONS to procure weapons of war. They
have urged upon the state department
the only means of meeting the diff
Guilty was to turn to the old practice
of permitting export of arms and am
munition to both sides without restric-
ton.
1t has been pointed out by state de-
partment officials that under the re-
cent neutrality proclamation the gov
eminent is absolutely prohibited from
permitting war supplies to go to insur-
gents.
1t is expected an effort will be made
to have the senate committee recon-
mend either an amendment or the with
drawaI of the proclamation.
