any advances from the S. 500 900 estate OF
her husband she must decide whether
to accept the bequest under his will or
her dover right, according to a decision
of Chief Justice Shepard. of the Court
OF Appeals. handed down yesterday.
The court held that Mrs. Hutchns is
not required to make a selection before
the probate of her husbands will, I'M
less she demands advances. but says
there is nothing to prevent her from do
ing so. Mrs. Hutchins. according to the
court, is free at any time to claim her
statutory rights of dover and distribu-
ton, but without exercise of this right
she has no interest in the rust estate
Justice Barnard. in the low sr court,

$500 a month out of the rents, in which
she claimed she was entitled to more
than that amount, no matter how she
elected to share the estate. Justice

SOME OF THE NEW
SPRING FABRICS

Bedford cords are very fashionable.
And wool ratines are more than ever to
the fore.
New. too. are ratines with embroidered
spots in color
Then there are plain colored ratines,
with deep filet-like borders, and then
printed designs in color, just above.
Very sheer wool c-epes are charming
Crepes also are bordered--one delightful
fabric with small posies and foliage
worked out in silk to form the band
which finished the edge.
Ottoman cloths are numbered among
the smart suitings.
Whipcords will make many tailored
suits.
Diagonal serges promise to be moro
worn than the plain weaves
VoiIes of very fine weave will be used
for gowns.
For the severely plain tailored suit
there are masculine-like suitings of
smoothly finished fabrics In soft grays
and pretty tans.
Eponges are members of the ratine
family that will be included among the
well-liked materials.
Gray tweeds were used to make some
of the new smart walking skirts.
Not only are plain colors well liked
but stripes of varying degrees and checks
Of many sizes are fashionable-particu-
larly in black and white effects.

This may be overcome by careful ap-
