near and far. and the Rialto is literally a
moving mass of color.
As IT is stili qulle cool here. one does
not see so many gowns and dresses out
Florence, Rome. and the Riviera, but
there are any number of wonderfully
smart tailored suits. and these are more
or less elaborate, for the simplest are
jackets with basques inclined. to follow
the form and cut on the bias are among
the newest. They are worn with long
waistcoats of " hite cloth or fancy bro
cade, which fasten with crystal or Jade
buttons
1t is also possible to find the quite
short jacket on the bolero order, whose
general effect is completed by tunic
skirt which makes it look like a long
jacket. These boeros are particularly
modish and more generally becoming to
the youthful than the first mentioned
style.
The sketch shows a clever tailored
model with a bolero jacket and grace
ful skirt. 1t is a willow-green. sponge
surfaced cloth with a heavily embroid-
cred belt and sash oddly designed and
colored.
The jacket fronts fasten at the broad
belt over vest of fine white flannel, the
points of which show below the belt in
front, and there are turned-back cuffs
and a broad collar of the same.
The portion which appears to be the
coat tail is in reality a tunic skirt. but
if desired it may quite as readily be at
tached to the belt of the jacket
The skirt is draped upward in front
and laid in fiat folds under the belt A
girdle of the oddly emb roidered cloth is
used about the waist and tied in a
couple of long loops at center front so
that it shows with the jacket on. too
If the tunic is used as part of the
skirt it will be well to mount it over a
silk hip-length foundation to the skirt
for. with that hidden portion of the skirt
in CLOTH it would be found uncomfort-
ably warm and bulky for the spring.

Now that the ceinture and train are be-

ties for the introduction of black or d
fresh color scheme into the design of

with bands of black velvet which at the
back falls in straight stole. narrowing
to a point where it trails upon the floor

sorts. tied in a wide, outspreading bow.
Sometimes this back is left straight and
full, while at others it partakes more of
the old princess line. But it is the very
last word in silhouettes. and of CO.
quetry that the latter-day eleeante will
undoubtedly find irresistible.
The first impression conveyed by the
evening dress of today is that it is 4
thing so light and fragile that it scarce
ly bears description. The gay plumage of
tropical bird is suggested by the eS-
quisite colorings that are mixed together
to produce it, and for the rest it is merely
a vague manifestation of the beauty OF
gauzy fabrics and rare lace.
| But due reflection makes the truth clear
that many subtle details go to produce
different effect for each gown. One
| frock of fiesh-pink tulle mounted upon a
deeper shade of rose is trimmed with
chains of pearls which furnish for the
arms a framework in the absence of
| sleeves.
Another charming trimming is a gar
I land of roses which supports the bouffant
folds of a lace tunic and repeats itself
as a single bracelet twisted round the left
/ wrist.

he oriental whose fashions have not
changed for centuries.
Checked Skirts; Plain Coats.


For the last four years there has been
a leaning toward the suit COM
posed of two fabrics and two colors.
The idea has always had a following
among the elect and the indiscriminate
strange as this may seem. Possibly the
reason was much the same in both
cases: the rich woman could afford many
clothes and the cheaply dressed woman
desired many clothes
The dominant class of women between
these two. had to content itself with
suits of one color that were not too
easily observed from month to month.
The fashion never died out. yet it
was never considered popular. Its critics
said it could not last because 1t was
earish. and vet il has outlived many
other fashions started at the same time.
have a skirt of large checks in dull. un-
defined colors that melt into one another
and q jacket in solid color that har-
monies with the skirt.
The two fabrics differ. one is usually
of rough material like homespun serge
or -abartline. and the other is of smooth
er cloth. When taffeta is used for
one garment. it is often chosen for the
other. although that ribbed material
called solfine goes very we'll with it and
there is q fine quality of serge that is
idmira BILE.
These plaid skirts have drapery of
some kind They are rot made in the
Turkish fashion of last autumn, although
there are women who, preferring straight
lines to horizontal ones, cling to this
style with notifications. There is not
so much drapery at the hips as there
was in the original Callot skirt

FASHIONABLE DRESS
FOR DAY OR EVENING

Choices in taffeta dresses are bewilder-
ing, but preference is given to the two
deep fiounces set OH with a little upright
plisse frill of the taffeta. An entirely
original aspect is brought about by the
placing of these flounces their own depth
apart, although only a tall, sim figure
could quite successfully carry off. such
pronounced breaking up of lisne. The
vest and collar are of vellum-tint lawn
and the charming little bolero corsase is
gathered at a long shoulder line into an
applied fold that vanishes into nothing
jast above the elbow.
Below this the sleeves fit the arm
closely. while at the wrist UP and down
plisse cuffs of the lawn are divided by
a bracelet of the taffeta.
There is no doubt about it at all that
very serious determination prevails,
where evening toilets are concerned, to
bring iii a very slim. frankly speaking,
trouser effect as the basis of operations,
which is accentuated by the extreme full
ness of the long. upper tunics. 1t strikes
one as singularly inelegant and unbecom
ing. but model after model follows on
these lines. and one can only hope that
in process of time some amelioration will
come about.

Pretty shopping hats are of the sailor

LUDLOW APJONES GIVES HINTS FOR
RAISING FRUIT IN THIS STATE.

Ludlow Apjones OF Springfield
Ohio, is showing keen interest in
the welfare of Louisiana. In cor
respondence with Senator Rams
dell BIO offers suggestions as to
fruit cultivation, and intimstss he
has in mind products that could
be raised in this State even more
valuable to farmer and planter
than sugar or corn.
Mr.. Apjonss' interest is in a
measure due to patriotic sentiment,
as according to bis letter he once
lived in Now Orleans, where his
father practiced law. Through
reading the Congressional Record
Mr.. Apjones became acquainted
with Mr.. Ransdell, and was so i'm
pressed with the Senator'S speech
on the ravages of the boil wesvil
in Louisiana and the distressing
conditions following the decline of
the sugar industry that he felt
constrained to offer suggestions.
He recalls having recently seen
California figs, sugarsd and wrap
ped in paratfins paper, sold at 10
cents for five on tho trains of his
State, and he is Of tho opinion
that Louisiana could better sup
ply such q demand than Cslifor-
mia. He says an acre of figs in
Louisiana, systematically cuItiva-
ted, will produce q great many tons
of fruit, commercially OF great va
lue.
II have also thought it might
pay we'll to protect the oranges
from the occasional cold spells
which visit tho State" writes Mr..
Apjones. "A friend of mine sold
a ten-acre orange orchard in Pase-
dena, Cal, last fall for $50, 900, and
it was worth it, because of the in.
come derived from tho ten acres
each year."

The account of the Hammond

convince every Louisiana farmer
Of the value OF cooperation. Glow

oesses afar off are rather persua-

tsrs can "come back" with sug-
gsstions that conditions are more
favorable there than here. The
Tangipahoa demonstrations strike
down that contention. They have
been long enough continued, more
over. to prove that tho success rs-
corded is due to organization and
not merely to a lucky season"

rendered by its selling plan it
buys seed, fertilizer and crates for
