FOR TIMES WOMEN WHO WANT TO KNOW
What Is Seen in The Shops
BY THE SHOPPER

At the special price of S2.95 each a
department store in F street is offering
some very excellent values In silk
shirt waists. These come made up in
various kinds of silks, including mes
sallnes, peau de sole, and taffeta, as
well as the wash silks, which are so
smart when made up into the mannish,
shirt styles. In this lot which is selling at
such an attractive price, there are some
of the new peplum waists and some
Japanese wash silk blouses In black
and white.
Simplicity seems to be the keynote of
the newest Fats for spring, the little
sailors and tricorne shapes being sim
; ply adorned with stick-up feathers or
iccckades, these forming the only trim
ming. Some excellent sailor shapes, in
iblack milan braid, trimmed with stin
and formal looking cockade In white,
, are being offered by Market space
department store for IS. These are from
a New York house well known for Its
exclusive and correct designs in hats.
Now that shirt waist time has almost
arrived, she who leans toward tailor
made waists will find something in the
! line of cum buttons which will be much
to her liking. These come in enamel In
different colors, which may be bought
in an f street novelty jewe1ry house Tor
60 cents pair.
For 81 each, some artistic bags are
being shown in the leather and fancy
goods store on the north side of street,
between Twelfth and Thirteenth streets
Some of them are in velvet, embroidered
in gold, or the dull Indian colors. Others
are made from suede leather and trim

blue serge, strictly tailored, is an al
most indispensable adjunct to the spring

store at Eleventh street is selling these
suits in the guaranteed army and navy
blue serge, for $35. The skirts are the
newest cut, and choice is given of the
cutaway or straight front coats.
A special sale of glistening, Vari-

especially attractive just now, when
mothers are trimming hats for the

of ribbon for such purposes. In the
