the combination. while unusual, is
most attractive. When the sleeves

this latter style allows the effective

the washable satins are a genuine
success, too, and they are promised
great popularity for uses Of this kind.
Since these silks seem to lend them
selves both to fancy and to plain
blouses. they are extremely valuable
acquisitions and are Of genuine prac-
tical value.
Advance models sometimes are de-
ceptive and one learns to listen to all
the early rumors yet still be on ths
alert. Apparently the skirts Of tailored
costumes are to be somewhat wider
than has been the case. The latest
models show plaits introduced in
various ways and, while these plato
are pressed fiat and the. long lines
remain, they undoubtedly allow greater
freedom in walking and they do mean
actual width. Many of the prettiest
and most interesting skirts shown are
cut in very few pieces and are caught
up and draped to fit the figure without
seams and to produce attractive folds.
They are little difficult to describe
for they appear to be arranged on the
individual rather than to be cut after
any specified model, but they are. per-
haps, the more distinctive because Of
that fact An extremely attractive
suit that shows a good example of

tone. The skirt is made in only two
pieces, one piece forming the front and
sides while the second takes the form Of
a panel at the back. The panel is
really wide box plait turned under to
about the depth Of some two or three
inche, and the front and side portions
of the skirt are gathered. the upper
edge being finished with cord to the
end Of which are attached tassels and

really made with shocking and the
round neck is finished with a fat
plated frilL The model appears in
different materials and different colors
but an exceedingly smart one for use
at this season is Of soft crepe meteore
in a wonderful shade of amber. The
Romany effect is obtained by the
combinations of colors and also by the
EIiroGuction Of beads. The frill at the
neck is dark blue and there is girdle
of knitted silk in color to match the
blouse studded with red and blue beads
while a fringe of these beads hangs
below and a band OF black velvet
finishes the upper edge and black
velvet again appears at the wrists.
Many Of the blouses Of cotton voilc
and marquisette show much the same
suggestion of color for little bits of
embroidery in the rich Oriental tones
are used and very rich. interesting
effects arc obtained. We seem to run
all the gamut from extreme elaboration
to severe styles in these new blouses
Most interesting models for every day
wear are shown. both in crepe de chine
and in cotton materials. They arc
made quite plain but with deep tucked
bosoms after the manner of a mans
evening shirt The bodice itself closes
with three buttons and button-holes at
the front to give quite the effect Of a
mans waistcoat. Others are made
absolutely plain. quite after the manner
of a shirt. and of the tub silks that
are exceedingly beautiful this season.
Pretty ones of this last material are
made Of white silk with narrow stripes
of color and worn with four-in-hand
ties in color matching the stripes and
they are very charming as well as
practical blouses Of white washable
silk with which are to be worn soft
turned-over collars of the striped silk
with ties to match. It Is claimed that

plain little bodice with the long tunic
or peplum which seems so general this
season and fascinating little coat Of
Bohemian lace in matching brown.
Women who are planning spring
costumes may bear in mind that cos
tunes of dark colors will be smart
frightened by bits Of vivid color or Of
Bulgarian embroidery, that everything
that is oriental or semi-oriental will
appear in trimmings and that there
will be a great deal of embroidery
Of the heavy, coarse sort that is quickly
done, both upon gowns and upon suits.
A pretty feature is the introduction Of
tiny little celluloid rings with the heavy
embroidery and these rings frequently
make the outline of the pattern. A
handsome gown Of palest pink chiffon
cloth is embroidered with heavy silk
floss and the pattern is all outlined
with white rings of this sort scarcely
more than an eighth of an inch in
diameter There are two rows. one
opaque white and one in a pale yel-
Iowish tone, and combined with the
pink. they are exquisite.
A MOST remarkable costume that
~ is to go to Palm Beach is made
Of one Of the new cotton crepes
with wide border Of the rough zig
gag" weave that Shows very heavy
threads irregularly applied and. above
this border. there are quaint. semi
conventionalized roses in pasteile
paints that are a real delight. To
preserve the beauty Of the border.
the skirt is straight but over it is a
tunic with a plain hem-stitched finish
and the border appears heavily in the
bodice. 1t is really astonishing how
much is to be done with a straight
strip Of material. Many Of the new
skirts do not appear to be shaped at
all. Apparently. they are just draped
on the figure but, however the results
are obtained. whatever the means
employed. the effect is graceful and
attractive. A really beautiful gown of
bordered marquisette is made Of the
straight material but j. overlapped

and drawn up at the front to form
quaint drapery while. at the same
time. the border is left intact. One OF
the smartest foulards that yet has been
seen shows a skirt that is made Of one
straight piece Of the material laid in
Burnous plaits over the hips At the
back there is long sash Of plain
silk matching the ground of the foulard
in color. The whole gown is a most
attractive one but the handling Of the
straight material in the skirt makes
the important feature Attractive
little bolero effects will be worn
throughout the spring. This particular
gown is made with a bodice showing
bolero fronts over an accordion plated
chemisette and with long sleeves that
are sewed in at the dropping shoulder
line. A most fascinating one met today
was of golden brown velvet with trim
ming Of skunk The skirt was Of the
two-piece sort that is such a general
favorite but showed some six or eight
rows of narrow fur banding sewed
round and round. The jacket was a
genuine little bolero with plain back
but fronts drawn up in gathers over
the bust to avoid the necessity for
darts and with long. close-htting
sleeves, all the edges being bound with
fur. while the blouse beneath was

with rich. creamy lace and little
touches Of antique gold that were most
effective The same idea would be

little jackets Of the kind can be used
with almost any kind Of skirt.

self government; in fact that seems
to be the sentiment of the people all
over the state of Ohio. The only
amendment to receive the ratification
of the voters was the one pertaining
to the eligibility of women to hold
