NEW MEMORIAL STONE
 FOR WASHINGTON MONUMENT
Secured by D. A. R. chapter-On Ex.
 hibition at Hartford.

The tablet for the Washington mon ument at Washington, D. C., bearing the arms of the state of Connecticut, and intended to replace the disinte- grat slab of red sandstone now marking the position of the state as one of the original 13. is on exhibition at the capitol lobby. Hartford, and will remain there until May 1. when it will be packed and shipped to Washington. It will be inserted in the monument by the engineers corps of the United States army, which has charge of the public buildings of the district.
 The stone was secured through the efforts of Orford chapter, D. A. R., of Manchester. F. l.. c. Hohenthal of Manchester, on a recent trip to Washington noticed the condition of the slab of Portland sandstone. and called the attention of Orford chapter to the matter. After some core spondence with Gov. Simeon K. Bald win. the chapted went ahead and bought the new stone. The aggregate amount obtained by Orford chapter from the other chapters of the state was S7s.50. As the stone costs $I50 delivered at Washington, it will be seen that Orford chapter is respon- sible for great part of it's value.

a strong influence.
Its coming has been gradual. But Il
has been sure. At the spring OPEN
ings many capes, in various guises,
were shown. There was the alien
veloping Neapolitan cape, worn in the
day time. There were cape-like even
ing wraps. Some of them hung from
shoulder yokes, some of them were
reminiscent of the dolmans Of the past
with small capes instead of sleeves
over the arms.
And the cape is recognizable in bou-
doir finery. There are long. circular
cspes of satin for rest robes. And
there are short matinees built on cape
lines.
One that is particularly interesting
is a short little cape that falls just
to the elbows. II is made of lace, over
deep pink tulle, edged with wide white
marabou. The ends are drawn into an
ensmeled clasp at the end OF the low.
v-shsped neck. Under this Is worn a
petticoat OF pink crepe de chine. edged
with a band Of marabou about the
straight lower edge and little turbsn-
like boudoir cap OF pink net. topped
with a tiny pompon of deep rose,
adds the finishing touch.

both small and large, for the large hat
has not disappeared. With certain types
of face and with certain types Of dress
a large hat is essential. One that is de-
cidedly becoming for afternoon wear Is
a big black chip. >aced on the upper side
with softly draped black mousseline. The
brim droops almost to the shoulder on
the right side, and on the left is tilted
straight up in the air. It Is edged with
little question marks of black ostrich.
A sailor quite as becoming is made
of black and white straw. The brim on
the left rolls to show q little Of the
hair. About the crown is double frili
OF white tulle. fastened on with band
of cut Jet and two jet darts are smartly
arranged on the left side.
Jet, by the way. is losing little OF It's
charm. 1t is used in thousand and one
ways. But it must be used with wisdom.
A careless use of IT suggests dowdiness-
rusty black and broken fringe and frayei
seams.
Last summer there were a good many
The Washington herald., 1914-03-08

children's hats that suggested sun bon
nets. And the shape is still persistent in
hats for little girls.
A charming hat Of the sun bonnet type
worn not long ago by a little girl whose
mother is especially interested in the
clothes Of childhood is made with a brim
of tan straw. There is a puffed crown
Of brown taffeta and a band of dark
brown velvet ribbon Is brought around
the bottom Of the crown to end in two
streamers in the back. The frock worn
with this hat is made Of a thin crepe,
trimmed with brown velvet ribbons and
worn over q cream null guimpe.
Laxsrious Neslisees.
In all the excitement connected with
the showing. OF the new French mod
els. negligees have. perhaps, been neg
lected for a moment. But they have
not been forgotten. They are just as
dainty. just as luxurious as ever. In
fact. perhaps the newer models sur
pass those Of the winter in their elab-
orate and fanciful use Of silk and sat
in, chiffon, net, and lace.
II Is very Interesting to watch the
working out Of new idea In fsshion.

Another frock for Southern wear in
which tulle was used has a three-tiered
skirt, made Of rufies Of cream tulle,
pointed on the edge and finished with
tiny silk tassels. The topmost ruffie is
edged with an Irregular border OF blue
chiffon, and the foundation silk slip is OF
a deep blue. The bodice is shapeless
one Of blue crepe, with taffeta cuffs, and
an odd little belt, lifted high in 'front.' OF
deep blue velvet ribbon.
For formal evening wear nothing ID
iovelier than the gorgeous metallic fig-
ured silks. They are q little heavy, but
they can be SO combined with thinner
fabrics that they are not too heavy for
spring wear.

use of lace, net and tuIle have many
advocates.
One Of the interesting gowns made for
a fashionable woman going South was
an odd combination Of white silk net
and serge. There was q serge skirt, scant
about the ankles and rather short The
bodice was made Of net, trimmed with
bands Of heavy cream silk braid. two or
three inches wide. There was a box
pleat. folded but not pressed or stitched
in place. down the center front Of the
skirt. and a tunic Of net reached from
the waist to the hips. fastening under the
box pleat on each side. The tunic was
edged with braid at least eight inches
wide. and this heavy. braid served the
purpose Of holding the tunic in about the
hips. The girdle vss. made Of the braid.
The Washington herald., 1914-03-08

A list Of the materials shown in the
Paris openings sounds like a list Of all
the materials that are sold in the dry
goods stores. But from all the lists Of
all the fabrics favored by al the bIs
dressmakers their choice seems to have
given prominence especially to taffeta,
crepe in many forms, gabsrdine and the
poplin weaves and serge.
Lace is more used than it was last sea-
son. and probably its use will gradually
and steadily increase. It is used for
evening wear, and for the more elaborate
afternoon frocks. And separate houses
OF lace. to wear with suits Of taffeta. are
more and more taking the place OF those
of net.
Nevertheless. in spite Of the increasing

makes a charming combination. And pet
ticoats Of lace are a feature of many Of
the new fabrics.
Hats and Their Trinning.
II one of the many struggling influences
in the new fashions predominates we
may settle into more definite type of
hat than we can picture at present. Just
now. dozens Of hats in dozens of fashions
are worn. and all We can do Is to make
choice Of the most becoming.
There are a good many sailors That
is the dominating shape. IL there is such
a thing In the hats of the spring. But
the sailor shape itself Is modified in
many ways. Sometimes the brim is mar
row and curved. sometimes 1t is fiat and
straight. Sometimes 1t is sharply tilted
up on one side or in the front or back.
Sometimes the crown is high and some
times It is rounded. and sometimes IL Il
made Of pun Of silk. plaid or striped
or plain.
There are many thres-oernered hats.
