LATEST PADS AND FANCIES OF FASHION
 By MAY MANTON

a foundation of palest green char mouse satin draped with ochre lace while the corsage is literally swathed in green and blue tulle that is so arranged at the back as to closely resemble the wings of big butterfly. We will dance in some fascinating costumes during inid-Lent and per- haps will enjoy the dance the more for the consciousness that the re- ceipts will be put to quite another use.
 For. dinners and for afternoon dances and for various functions of half-dress, taffeta, faille silk and gros-de Londres are the favorite ma terials and in their making is to be noted very curious combination of effects. Designers and dress makers are searching the 183o period for suggestions, but they are still clinging to the Empire and we see some combinations that truly are our own. As yet, there is only slight hint of the full sleeves that were such a con- spicuous feature of the 1880 period. but we have the wide skirts that flare and the berthas and they are com bined with bodices that hint of the preceding era. but they are none the less charming because of the fact. Never were silks lovelier in color than they are today. A most exquisite dinner gown Is made of taffeta in a wonderful shade of pinkish mauve with trimming of soft creamy lace. It is princesse, inasmuch as the bodice and skirt are cut in one and consists of gores that flare most generously at the lower edge and it suggests the raised Empire waist-line. It is closed at the front. where it is Tapped in sur plice style and the neck is finished with a rolled-over collar of the silk and soft jabot of lace which extends to the edge of the closing. The long, slightly Mosquetaire sleeves are of the lace also and we have before us gown suggestive of the Empire period, yet measuring fully five yards in width at the lower edge
 All the tiny, little boleros are smart and really exquisite costumes are made with boleros or little fancy jackets worn over lingerie guimpes. A most fascinating one consists of a three f1ounced skirt of bordered taffeta with quaint little coat of charmeuse satin that matches one of the colors in the border and little chemisette with high, haring collar at the back oi sheerest organdie. Very lovely and erliner.ly picturesque results are ob- tai.,ed by using these holeros or little

Two Would Not Go Tcoether.

A certain deacon was one of the best of me;i. but by nature very irascible. A COW was so exceedingly disorderly, as the deacon was attempting to milk her one morning, that the old Adam got the better of him and he vented his excited feelings in a volley of execra, tions very undeaconish in their char. Acter. At this moment the good dea. cons pastor appeared unexpectedly on the scene and announced his pres- eEce by saying:
 why, deacon! Can 1t be! Are you swearing?"
 Well, larson," replied the deacon, ! didn't think of any one being uear by. but the truth is, l never shall en- Joy religion as long as ] keep th,e eOW."

roatees in ~olo- over white act! tisc-, is altogether really fascinating season ahead. If women will only be mindful to choose warily and well and re member that fashions are always adaptable and always offer a choice. we should have Spring of infinite charm. But if the short and the stout choose the widest skirts, if the short-necked sisterhood choose and insist upon wearing the deepest neck frills and the slender women choose the open neck and the long sleeves that only serve to accentuate their thinness. then indeed there will be occasion to weep. A charming cos tune that is Empire throughout is made with a characteristic skirt com pletely covered with plaited hounces of tulle, each edged with d band of velvet ribbon and it is worn with a tiny little bolero of velvet that is finished with Mosquetaire sleeves of net ard this bolero is cut modestly low and edged with the softest and prettiest possible drapery of lace at the neck edge. Such a costume is charming upon a woman of graceful figure and of graceful lines and let us hope that mirrors will be found in abundance when Spring orders are given.
