With the first breath Of Spring
x,eather. costumes begin to take on
Spring-like cOlorings. Hats in gayer
colors or trimmed with bright flowers
and feathers announce to the world
that Spring has returned, even when
the suit or dress remains OF the SOM
Der colors Of winter.
Covert cloth has been the novelty IN
winter suits and is very popular in
the spring, for it is light in color and
combines with many things. A new
cloth called buck-skin covert is the
newest Of this type.
A few days ago received announce
ment cards from Fifth Avenue dress
making establishment, of a private
view of their newest models From
the general salesrooms I was guided
into a gray and gold elevator and
from there to an artistic room also in
gray and gold and white. The SIM
plest of small stages occupied one
side of the room. A few chairs were
placed carelessly around the room,
and we made ourselves comfortable
for the review.

A coat and dress showing the
long and the short-waisted effects are
shown in the illustrations. The coat
in diagonal blue serge, with full skirt
and belt with pockets upon each side
is late and practical model for the
Spring coat. In the illustration the
coat is worn with sand-colored skirt.
In plain and moire taffeta is the
dress illustrated made in the latest
basque effect. The bodice is given the
long-waisted appearance by a panel
front which is cut in one with a wide
crushed girdle. This fits around the
waist and hips rather closely combin-
ing very we'll with the full fiaring
skirt.
On many of these dresses where a
little color is needed to give the pro-
per note for contrast a corsage bou-
quet was used. There are many diff
ferent kinds Of these flowers, those
made from velvet or silk or chiffon
and those made of ribbon. The new
est ones show a picot edging and are
often made Of picot-edged ribbol,. The
trimmings on some Of the early spring
hats is very simple, often being but
strip of narrow ribbon, usually gros-
grain, with strain of beads, in dull
white, blue or other dull color which
will form a pleasing contrast placed
just above IL
New handkerchiefs are showing
narrow-colored frills around Their
edge Of pink or blue or violet. The
very sheerest Of linen is used foi
those handkerchiefs and the result il
fluffy and dainty.

A Smart New Coat on Empire Lines

A Smart New Coat on Empire Lines
Boleros were the most striking feat
ures shown. Short little bobby, sleeve
less jackets, some cut square and
straight around, others scalloped or
slashed. These were worn over full
blouses which bloused trife over the
belt or girdle instead of being pulled
straight down. Most of these were
long-sleeved, while others had the bell
sleeves, quarter or half-length,
wide and unbound at the lower edge.
The skirts were full and short, most
Of them being built on peasant lines,
with full apron-like overskirts front
and back, divided on the sides and
showing a plain or ruffed underskirt
beneath.
Another noticeable feature in these
DIRE ses was the fact that they we're all
made with normal waistline, an in
teresting fact when one thinks of all
the long wasted and Empire lines
which are shown as forerunners Of
Spring and Summer fashions. 1t is a
fact that the frocks made on Empire
lines are decidedly for the girlish fig
ure while the round-waiste1 frocks
suit all styles of figure more or less.
Another type of costume shown here
was taken from the 18th Century
French costumes. The waist was in
doublet effect, slashed several times
front and back through which the
creamy white chiffon blouse peeped. A
short pleated peplin finished the lower
edge Of the waist. This was worn
over a full skirt with a pleated ruffle
on the bottom. An interesting thing
to remember is that these pleateC
ruffles which are used on the bottom
of so many skirts are pressed fiat anC
put on the lower edge without a head
ing Of any kind.
In these dresses the long tunic wa.
shown in many different styles. Some
times with pleated lower skirt show
ing just below, and again with an un
derskirt Of filmy lace,
One Of these frocks | will describ,
in detail. The skirt had long blu,
tunic striped with a thread Of yellow
and crossed win satin stripe. Thii
was slashed up about eight inches ant
faced upon the upper side with plaiI
blue. The pleated underskirt Of plail
blue just peeped out from beneath tn,
tunic.
A short bolero jacket also slashe,
and bound with plan blue is worl
over white chiffon blouse with
narrow pleat down the center havin,

Smart New Empire Coats

narrow frill on either side. The long
sleeves had deep flaring cuffs OF the
striped silk with a frill of the chiffon
around its edge. The collar Of the
blouse was very high with a frill OF
chiffon above and below.
Another little dress which sported
short bolero jacket and chiffon
blouse having deep bel sleeves Of the
chiffon, had skirt which showed q
new evolution Of the tunic skirt. The
skirt was of blue chiffon taffeta with
two box-pleatings around the bottom
, The skirt was the full length in the
back, but the front was the depth Of
the two box-pleated ruffies shorter
| and beneath were two box-pleated
frills of white chiffon. The effect was
stunning.
Contrast is a strong note in the
color combinations of the season. Many
dark Jackets were shown with white
or light colored skirts. Wide leather
belts were used on some of the dresses
One white serge dress had red pat
ent leather belt which was very ef-
fective indeed.
A white chiffon afternoon dress
showed the raglan sleeves with sur
plice fronts of filet lace and a loose
panel of the filet lace in the back. The
unusual skirt was made of chitfor
with three graduated bands of shirret
silk applied. Each band was striped
upon a cord top and bottom which
gave the band a very pretty finish.
A mode which is having quite
vogue and is both graceful and effect
i've has been inspired by the Turkisl
trousers. This dress, however, is no
trouser skirt, far be it! There is
foundation skirt made shorter thai
the outside skirt is gathered an
caught to the lower edge Of the under
skirt and the skirt itself is bloused,
that term can be used, all around tn
bottom. The dress which saw hav
ing a skirt like this had very wild
belt with large round disks or moon
embroidered on it in red and silve
and gold.

ON TRIAL COMING
 TO DAVIS THEATRE.

Local theatregoers are in for a dra- &natic treat. A real one, Confirmation of this assertion is furnished in Man ager Craig's announcement that he has just closed a contract with Cohan & Harris which calls for the presentation of On Trial, probably the greatest melodrama success that the American stage has harbored in the past 25 years, st the Davis theatre Monday evening. April 5th.
 On Trial is a marvellous play with an unusual plot. Much of its clever ness is due to it's structural uniqueness and mechanical ingenuity. But it is it's acting virility that makes the piece stand out in bold relief among recent stage productions.
 On Trial is from the pen of Elmer l.. Reizenstein. It is his first play eff fort, but judging by it's reception in New York and Chicago, this author will have to be reckoned with as a future contributor to the contemporary stage. The play deals with the actual ities of life so true, it is said, that au- diences are electrified by it's reality and stirred to exclamation by its tremen- dous climax.
 On Trial is a wonderful play, won derful in it's technique; wonderful in its staging, and wonderful in the pow erful interest it .arouseS, and it's pro- ducton in this city is an event that theatregoerS can't afford to ignore.
 The sale Of seats is announced to begin Friday at 10 a. m. Mail orders with remittance should be sent now to secure reservations. Seats on the sub scription list must be called for Fri day, otherwise they will be sold.
