IDEAS FOR SPRING DRESSES
According to information, Printed
Silks Will Be Largely Used in
the New Costumes.

Paris dressmakers are using print ed
silks of rather horid designs on soft
silks and crepe de chimes for Innings,
especially where plain materials are in
question. All crepe fabrics also are
in demand for home gowns, and with
these the introduction of printed silks
will take the form of collar facings
and little touches in the waist bands.
Buttons will also be covered in small
designed printed silk.
Sponge cloths, ratine or velour de
laine, all more or less the same thing,
will still find favor in the early spring.
but serge and suitings in navy blue
promise to be more in vogue than
ever.
In the navy blue suiting the tiny
pin stripe is likely to lead the way,
one or two coats and skirts having
already been seen in this material.
The fashion in tailor mades does not
just yet show much change. The
lines are simple in the extreme. The
inverted pleat at front and back. al
lowing of little more freedom in
movement, but retaining the straight
line, is so far the only innovation.

STYLES IN cHLDRENs COATS AIM SHOULD BE SIMPLICITY
Best Ideas for Dressing of YOUNG
Girls Hair Is Here Given
From Authority

In the Woman's Home Companion
Grace Margaret Gould writes A Talk
With Girls About Their Clothes" Fol
lowing is an extract which presents
Miss Gould's ideas about hardressing
for young girls:
In arranging your hair, l wodld
bear first in mind, if | were you. not
to hide the shape of your head You
may admire the way your older Sis
ter or your best friends mother wears
her hair, but don't try 90 copy it, The
more simply you fix your hair the
more becoming it is sure to be Part
ing the hair either in the middle Of
at the SIDES is very pretty if it hap
pens to be becoming to you. but il il
is not. the soft wayy pompadour worn
without rat is in quite as good style.
The hair which is drawn back from
the forehead in a low pompadour and
continued back over the crown of
the head, where it is then made into a
little coil covered by a big bow. is
very effective, only it must not have
the effect of all bow and little head
The bow should be small enough to
show two cunning little cufls be-
low It"
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1913-03-20
Severe Simplicity Will Be the Ac-
cepted idea for the Models of
the Coming ceason.

According to the Dry Goods Econo-
mist, simple tailored styles for every
day wear are receiving the most at
tention in childrens coats. Such gar
ments are shown in serges. Bedford
cords, whipcords, poplins and fancy
mixtures. The collars, cuffs and revers
are usually of silk, ratine or cloth in
some bright color. On the dressier
numbers lingerie collars and cuffs are
employed. In most instances these
are made detachable, so that they can
be easily laundered Belts are a fea-
ture of many of the best selling
models. Frequently the belt is seen
only in the back section. When the
entire belt is used It is placed several
inches below the waist line and is
made of satin, silk or velvet. Plain
or crushed broad velvet belts are con
sidered particularly smart and are
used with excellent effect on bright
colored coats In red, Wilhelmina blue,
tan and rose. Sashes are also being
used in a similar manner These are
frequently in black or of the same
shade as the coat itself.
