styles there have been innovated
some very dapper innovations. Per-
haps the most charming are the new
tight checked trousers to be worn
with a black sateen coat. The most
popular fabric for the trousers will
be a printed velour, altho a bro
caded silk or duvetyn is also thought
to be ravishingly Chic" II these
are not TO be had, crinoline will do
nicely. The tango "waistcoatee" as
fashioned by the French couturieres
will no doubt come in for a great
vogue a young man all fixed up in
the latest male fashions ought TO
make some girl a nice wife.
One hasty perusal of the latest
style hints is enough to make a
regular male person curse assidu-
ously and without restraint.

The female fashion experts have
passed out their annual spring dictum.
The nobby thing this coming season
will be polka dots and the more OF
them a young lady can crowd on her
lovely young person the more dashedly
fashionable will she be. Polka dot
waists viii be adorned with polka dot
jabots and the polka dot jabots will
dutter in the breeze athwart the front
of a dear little polka dot coat Polka
dot skirts with polka dot Sits will dis
close alluring glimpses OF socks all
polka dotty. Beginning at the top
again there will be hats redolent, as
IL were, of polka dots and a special
breed OF birds are being raised that
will provide polka dot feathers. A
polka dot beauty spot will be seen on
Dottie's polka chin. And polka dot
gloves will be seen on every hand.
Medical advisers and other poky
o things who like TO NEEDLE with
fashion have declared that such an
excess of polka dots in the view will
be ruinous to the optic nerve. They
say that looking At polka dots too
long and too hard will bring upon
the spectator an unpleasant malady
that unseats the reason. II IS said
to make one dotty-polka dotty
However. a delectable and curvi-
linear young lady has always had
