The Bravest Battle.

The Bravest Battle,
The bravest bate that ever was fought
Shall | tell you where and when9
on the maps of the world YOU viii
find ii not
II was fought by the mothers of men
Nay, not with cannon or battle shot
With sword or braver pen;
Nay. not with eloquent word ol
thought
From mouths of wonderful men.
But deep in a woman's walled-up
heart,
A woman that would not yield.
But patiently, silently. bore her part
Lo. there is the battlefield.
No marching troops, no bivouac song;
No banners to CLEAN and wave:
And oh! these battles they last so
long
From babyhood to the grave,
Yet. faithful still as a bridge of stars
She lives in her walled-up town
Fighting on and on in the endless
wars,
Then silent, unseen-goes down.

be cut from bordered material. The
skirt is a plain one in two pieces and.
as there are only two seams, it means
very little labor. The bodice is
pretty one with the kimono sleeves
that are to be extensively worn this
spring and summer. They have re-
turned to favor. have met with doubled
interest and are among the smartest
of all things. II round neck is pre-
ferred 10 a square one, the blousc can
be shaped in that way and. for dressy-
occasions. the sleeves can be made
shorter.
There is almost no limit to the pos
sibilities of the tunic idea. The little
dress in the center Of the group, which
is designed especially for small women
and young girls. is trimmed with
shaped band that gives quite the sug-
gestion of a double skirt yet requires
only one The blouse that accom-
panies it is a very new and very
charming one. The little opening in
the front that reveals a chemisette
makes a dainty feature. The long
sleeves are very smart for spring and
a great many girls are wearing high
necks. but this blouse can be worn
without the collar or with the chemi-
sette cut out at the line OF the blouse
and the sleeves can be left as illus
trated or cut off at the elbow. For a
palmer dress, the skirt can be made
without the band. There is no more
useful gown to be found in the spring
wardrobe than the one in semi-prin-
cesse style that can be worn either
upon the street or within doors. The
one shown here is very simple vet
exceedingly smart in effect. 1t can be
worn with or without the chemisette.
In the illustration, it is made from
serge and trimmed with striped material
but it would be very handsome made
from plain eponge with trimming
of brocade or from brocaded eponge
with trimming Of satin. The skirt
is cut in just three pieces The plain
sleeves are sewcd to the armhoIes.

Silk will be much worn and all fab
rics with a crepe finish are in the
height of style, while ratine effects are
found in silk as well as in wool and
cotton. Lace too makes an important
feature OF the spring and summer, and
it must be added that there are bor-
dered fabrics more lovely than ever
seen before.
In general way the straight narrow
lines remain, but there is greater grace
TO be found in the costumes than
existed in the earlier models.
Foulard is one of the standbys
and foulard this year means a very
beautiful. durable silk. shown in
multiplicity of colors and effects, but
especially notable in designs Of tiny
flowers over both light and dark
grounds.
The gown at the extreme left shows
favoritc use of the lace founcing
that IS to be so extensively worn this
season. The skirt is a very pretty
one and really elaborate in effect yet
simple. for it is plain and circular
in shape with a little over skirt ar
ranged over it while at the back is an
applied train. The bodice includes
rsvers at the right side that make
a novel feature. If the high neck
is not becoming. the little yoke can
be omitted or, for evening wear, both
yoke and chemisette.
There are so many pretty bordered
stuffs this season that girls will surely
want numberless gowns made of them.
The one illustrated is charming in the
simple way that always is youthful
in effect. The tunic has a straight
lower edge and. consequently. can

a finish are used two little fat bows
OF the material which hold the Tapped
portions in place and there is just a
slight drapery formed by few folds.
The brocaded figures in the upper
portion of the skirt. that is, from the
waist line nearly to the knees, are
outlined in japanese blue floss and
there is a little bodice, the lower por-
tion of which is of the embroidered
brocade, the upper part Of yellow
chiffon, and over the whole gown is
worn a tunic of plain black net, this
tunic being cut off slightly below the
hips and finished with deep ruff1e
The sleeves extend to the elbows
where ruffles finish them and there is
a tiny little fiat collar of Mandarin
yellow satin The whole costume is
an exceptional one and it stands for
the best in the brilliant coloring of the
day. A very beautiful costume, dis
played by leading importer, shows
the wonderful Japanese blue with trim
ming of green and illustrates not the
color effect alone but the way in which
materials are combined We are talk
ing Chinese influences as we'll as those
of the semi Oriental countries and
Chinese coats are much seen. In
reality, they are only variation of
the Mandarin idea but the name
is a new one and the effect is good.
This particular toilette consists of a
simple plain, two-piece skirt of black
charmeuse satin with tunic and blouse
Of exquisite. soft, creamy lace while
over it is worn a Chinese coat of blue
MORE with collar and cuffs of green.
The coat extends just to the waist
inc and is made with the three
quarter sleeves that belong to these
loose coats by right. The sleeves are
in kimono style and there is little

w WONDERFUL materials, inf
w mite variety OF styles and
marvellous color effects seem
to be the salient features of the spring
display. We are taking much of our
suggestion for the prevailing fashions
from a semi-barbaric source and the
brilliant somewhat crude coloring that
belongs thereto is apparent, but already
it is being largely subdued and it is so
cleverly handled that excellent results
are obtained. Really rich emerald
green is being used and green is always
a restful spring color. The rich, warm
blue and the dark red found in the
Bulgarian coloring are fashionable and
yellow is to be extensively worn.
In many of its shades, it is cool in
effect. altogether delight, and it is
being treated in way to give its best.
Altogether the outlook is an attractive
one. While it undoubtedly is true that
the coming of warm weather will see
the bright tones laid.aside to be revived
perhaps in the autumn, for the nonce.
they. are exceedingly smart and some
really wonderfully interesting color
effects are the result of the fancy.
Among the costumes Of an Easter
trousseau is to be found an afternoon
toilette that combines brocaded crepe
in a wonderful shade Of yellow known
as Mandarin with japanese blue and
black. Recapitulation sounds startling
but the gown is delight The simple
skirt is made Of the brocaded crepe
which is soft and lustrous, falling
in graceful folds about the figure. Itis

CIMPLER evidence OF the rich
y bright color idea are found in
the prevailing use of red in the
jaunty, fascinating little coats that
are worn over skirts of quiet tones
and in various similar ways. Some of
the new colors are really wonderful and
defy description. A costume Of the
new, soft moire silk in a purplish blue
includes a blouse Of really brilliant
red yet is exquisite in effect. As seen
it was exploited by the model of noted
importing house and made a singu-
larly good impression. The skirt, in
walking length, was a simple one.
The soft chiffon blouse was made with
full threc-quarter sleeves and its color
was largely subdued by an over blouse
of the moire with the girdle to match,
these two in combination giving almost
a little coat effect, while the moire
sleeves were curved and slashed to
allow the red chiffon to fall through
The hat was a small. close fitting
one Of the purplish straw with trim
ming of the red and such combina-
tions must be seen to be understood.
The shades are so peculiar, the tones
are so blended that they fit one another
in spite of the crudity that the words
seem to suggest. A very interesting
costume that is in readiness for the
first mild days consists of a skirt of
champagne colored foulard with straw
berry colored polka dots and just a
little coat of plain cloth in the cham
pagne with the collar and cuffs Of the
bright colored silk. Oneof the smartest
and most interesting of the simple
tailored suits exploited is made of blue
eponge with collar of coarse cream
colored linen embroidered in purple.
yellow and blue with a few beads to
give weight. A very charming costume
of blue serge that goes south this week
is made with plain belted coat and
plain skirt with overlapped edges.

n GREAT many suits of Bedford
~ cord ale to be seen and the ma
terial seems to combine with
silk peculiarly well. An effective Cos
tune is made Of taupe color with a
slashed skirt that falls over a PIisss
panel Of Bulgarian silk. 1t includes a
little coat of real box cut that hangs
Just little below the waist line and
with an individual touch found in the
shaping of the collar and cuffs of Bull
garian silk and an applied belt that
is adjusted over the back at the high
waist line. Really wonderfully effect
i've costumes are made with skirts Of
the cord in tan, gray or other quiet
tone with the coats of satin in bright
color. The cords arc extremely hand
some and charming in effect and the
new material is so soft and supple that
it takes exquisite lines and folds.

Tiny little coats, some In bo.
style. some belted and som.
suggestive of the Eton, are
among the smartest of all things both
for wear with separate skirts. Almost
uniformly, they are made with kimono
sleeves, with sleeves set in at the droop-
ing shoulder line or with regulation
sleeves showing slight fullness at the
shoulders. The perfectly plain "set-
in sleeve, as it is called, does no.
seem suited to their lines. Almost
without exception. they arc finished
In three-quarter length and with some
kind OF prettily shaped, haring cuff.
A few models show the Eton or
bolero short fronts with the back
elongated to form box with pointed
lower edge or a jacket that terminates
below the hips. Belted coats are Of
every possible kind from the simple,
plain Russian style to the very fancy
creation held by belt just below the
bust.

OUCH an carly Easter is sure to
y mean long spring season. and
there will be somewhat unusual
demand for afternoon and dinner
toilettes. Both materials and gowns
are bewildering in their very beauty
and fascination, for styles have been
developed to a very charming state
and fabrics are really a delight both
in color and texture.
