wool-hack satin as a material for tai
lored suits as well as one piece frocks.
Women like ii. and possibly the manu-
facturers have much of il on hand yet.
The objection to taffeta is that il
cracks at a touch. A defect which dot,s
not appeal to the thrifty American. but
rest assured il does not appeal to the
French woman either, so if she wears
it there must be really an added sta
bility to its weave which the manufac-
turers claim for il.
White trimmed with marrow fur is
chosen for an afternoon gown for the
south. and a quantity of blue and pink
and grass green taffeta is sold for
evening gowns. The white is the best
choice SO far. Attractive frocks are
of it without the fur. with some good
lace crossed over the bust surplice
fashion, long sleeves with minaret
cuffs fiaring over the hands. and wide
loose girdles of silver brocade
The story comes from the other side
that the manufacturers are attempting
the introduction OF imitation white
broadtail because the black broadtail
was successful. But il seems an UNI
fortunate time to bring out Il cloth
that looks warm whether it is or not
ne Was NtIS Sooi anu iildil
women wore il who got the credit OF
wearing the real fur. Bernard brought
out the first suit of this kind. but il is
safe to predict that no woman who
must pass her summers in America
will think of such weave for a
spring suit.
Scotch plaid viii be worn again this
coming season: there seems small
doubt on that subject. Paris has been
using it during the winter with more
or less success as aprons sashcs and
girdles, cuffs and collars. and as skirts
below coats of plain material in the
dominating color of the plaid. one
piece froclls are already making theiT
appearance in uaffeta and thin woods.
Ribbons will play an important part il
the new fashions. They are striped and
plaid, but rarely Powered. The Roman
ribbon has been used fashionably for a
season, but this spring the manufactur-
ers will be sorely disappointed If every
one does not wear a piece OF it. Enough

LILLY POND FOR PARK.

sides and will slope 1t will be built
out of concrete, reinforced with iron,
and will be built one block east OF
the bandstand.
Flower pots can be set in to hold
the lilies, which of course will be
taken out in the fall and set back
again in the spring. The cost for
it's construction will be considerable,
and when finished will be an excep-
tionally pleasing feature of the hand

more and more each year. The way
the commissioners are working, il
won't be long before DEBORAH can
claim one of the handsomest parks
in this section of the state.
