SPRING FASHION NOTES

Among other revivals the pointed
bodice with edges laced together al
the fronts takes an important place
Most attractive evening costume!
are made with velvet bodices Of this
sort over little guimpe portions OF
soft white net finished with puffe,l
sleeves and with skirts of chiffon or
net or crepe de chine made very full
but with tucks or applied bands or
trimming of some sort that induces
flare. Hens and tucks in which ribbon
is inserted made favorite finish and
a practical one as well.
Undoubtedly gabardinc is a favoritc
material for Spring suits and it is
especially beautiful in the favoritc
grays and soft sand shades. Coats for
such suits vary from the tiny little
Elton that terminates at the waist line
to those Of hip or slightly more than
hip length. Some are absolutely SIM
pie, finished in Military style but
others again are becomingly full AMI
belted. A novel treatment is foun !
in the belt in which pockets are in
serted. Buttons covered with the
material of the suit are greatly IL
vogue.
Fashions that are developed in II?
South during the mid-winter are ex-
cecdingly apt to be generally accepte !
with the coming of Spring, An inter-
esting novelty that has been eSploitc J
in the Florida resorts is coat of creo,
de chine made simple and much in the
line of the sports coat that is iamlll1r
in heavier material. If it is accepted
as generally as now seems probable.
it will make most attractive garment
to slip on over dainty summer cos
tunes.

tans that will unquestionably be the
most fashionable of all things for
street wear There is no feature of
present fashions more interesting than
the development of cotton. Just now
we are being offered cotton gloves in
suede finish that really are exceedingly
handsome and smart while at the same
time, they are ideally comfortable and
satisfactory to wear. They are hand
somely stitched and we'll shaped and
altogether are remarkable products
to be obtained for small price.
The new hats are perhaps little
more remarkable than they are at
tractive as a whole, but if one studies
them carefully. good effects and good
lines are to be discovered. With the
quaint old-fashioned costumes, the
narrow little turbans and the like are
Of course most appropriate, but we
cannot all copy that idea with success
and there are some Sailors" and flats
that the average woman will be sure
to welcome with enthusiasm. Narrow
brimmed sailors in chip and in Leg
horn are found among the showing of
the summer and many of them are
most attractively treated. For be-
tween seasons wear, silk and satin
hats are most desirable and most
attractive and many OF them are
rather quantity trimmed with fiat silk
flowers.
Kimonos are among the needfuls OF
life that are in demand at all seasons.
Some of the new kimono silks are
especially alluring and most fasci-
mating design shows plain soft satin
with a border of peacock feathers in
their own splendid coloring and this
border can be used to either finish the
lower edge or as finish for the fronts.

THE new and haring skirts are
bringing about great many
conditions of extreme interest.
Net and other soft, thin materials are
being much exploited, yet of necessity
they must be stiffened if they are to
flare and edges bound with heavy
material, edges finished with cords
and all similar devices are to be
noted. Among the newest and most
interesting is gown of white net. the
entire skirt covered with hounces and
these hounces bound with white cor
duroy cut on the bias.
Every kind Of quaint "old-fashioned"
trimming is to be seen upon the new
costumes; tiny little gathered ruffles.
pinked-out ruches, bands of velvet
ribbon and many others that might
be copied from the family portrait
gallery. A most attractive little after
noon frock designed for a young girl
is of taffeta in a soft shade Of yell
lowish tan and is trimmed with ruffles
one-half an inch in width, of the same.
three in row, put on the skirt to form
very deep and wide scallops. These
scallops are arranged above the deep
hem; the skirt is extended to the
Empire line and there is quaint little
odice of silk and white net with mar
row ruffles serving as finish.
Never have we had more inter-
esting or more varied display of fab
RIGS and colors than is offered this
season. The new silks and the poplins
and the crepes that have been woven
and dyed on our own shores, are rich
and splendid in their tones and ex-
auisite in texture. for they include
some of the most wonderful blues, the
daintiest and loveliest pinks, and rich
green's as we'll as the soft grays and

left is made of white linen with collar
of rose-colored. 1t is very dainty,
smart little frock. becoming in all its
lines and one that can be laundered
without difficulty. If preferred, it can
be worn with a shield and the sleeves
can be made longer.
Never were prettier materials offered
for childrens frocks than the cotton
crepes Of this season. They are ex-
ceedingly dainty in effect and they can
be found both in plain colors and with
white backgrounds showing little
flower designs. This one is white with
tiny little wreaths of pink and it is
just as pretty and child-like as can be.
Dimity would be found to give
similar color effect or Dresden lawn
would be pretty, and for the more
dressy frocks white material. white
wolfe or white crepe or fine white
lawn would be lovely. The fullness at
the front and at the back is massed
and held by stays.

terials are really fascinating, colors
are the prettiest that could be and
there is altogether an attractive out
look. Here are four models, each
one of which fills separate need.
The little girls dress at the extreme

the way down the front and there are
of course countless materials that
would be pretty made in this way and
Just the effect shown here can be OBJ
tanned from gingham or from other
material of lighter weight. The eponge
is exceedingly attractive this way and
is being much used, but galatea in
plain and in color would make smart
little, frock or linen or cotton poplin
would be pretty treated in just this
way. or, if liked, the blouse can be
made Of fancy material or of figured
crepe and the skirt and the trimming

wanted and many mothers will lik,
the trousers of khaki galatea or linen
with the blouse of gingham or other
thin material such as chambray. Til,
collar is in real sailor style and the
blouse can be finished with or without
the applied yoke.

satin could be used over gabardine
skirt with the sleeves of the latter for
all these treatments are fashionable
and all are good. The new blue known
as soldier or horizon blue, is particu-
larly attractive for Spring wear. The
over-blouse and the skirt of that
shade would be exceedingly handsome
with the skirt finished with cuffs as
in this instance and with the over
blouse braided with black soutache,
while the sleeves Of the blouse could
be of crepe de chine or charmeuse
satin or some similar material.
DOLERO costumes make one of the
n prettiest features of the new
fashions. Here is one designed
for small women and for young girls.
1t is made with Empire waist line, the
bolero is sleeveless and the blouse be-
meath can be made OF lace, of silk crepe

TINE Spring and Summer seasons
always make an especial demand
upon the boys wardrobe. Here
are three suits each of which is adj
mirable in its way. They are all sim
pie, all easy to make and they come
quite within the scope of the home

be finished with cuffs of any shaping;
the over-blouse is made with square
neck, but if liked, it can be cut higher
with turned-over Military collar that
is open at the front with tiny revers
below. The design seems really per.

II TITLE girls are to be charmingly
dressed during the Spring and
Summer. There is a certain
picturesque note to be found in the
fashions that is peculiarly effective
vhen applied to their costumes. Ma

IN SPITE Of the fact that Gradua-
ton does not occur until May.
girls are sure to be thinking OF
their costumes in April. Here is an
exceedingly attractive frock that can
be adapted to such use and still serve
all through the summer for afternoon
occasions. Made with straight gath
cred Aounce and simple tucked blouse
in this instance and there are straight
rufaes arranged over the entire skirt
and set at regular intervals one from
the other. The effect is pretty, the
ruffles are fashionable and altogether
the dress is as dainty and girl-likc as
can be. In the back view, there are
three ruffles only. On the figure, the
material is fine sheer organdie and the
trimming is simple lace and a ribbon
sash is worn. In the back view, one
of the fine cotton voiles is used. For
Graduation, all the pretty fine voiles
and crepes and the like are charming
as we'll as the organdie and they are
to be found both plain and figured.
II cotton is not liked, crepe de chine
can be used or indeed any material
that Is adapted to girls use, whether
the three ruffles or more are used, they
are evenly spaced and consequently it
is easy to adjust them. Crepe de chine
would be pretty with the ruffles headed
with cords in place of the lace for the
cords give little more weight and are
adapted to the material and add to
the hared effect. This season, skirts
must be wide and must fare to be
really fashionable.
n FTER Easter, feminine thoughts
~ are certain to turn toward sum-
mer costumes. Here is an ex-
ceedingly attractive one that has the
great merit of being simple and easy
to make. The material for the loose
basque is embroidered linen and for
the skirt, plain linen; the combination
is good one and is serviceable and
handsome as we'll as in the height of
style and the gown is also one of the
exceedingly available sort. 1t can be
worn for any sport or outdoor exer-
else, is simple enough for the early
morning and attractive enough for
luncheon and for the early afternoon.
The basque is sleeveless and can be
worn over any guimpe or blouse. The
skirt is in four pieces, and the edges of
the front and back are overlapped.
Here it is trimmed with an overfacing
or cuff and that finish is one of the
newest and most interesting. The
blouse. in this instance, is perfectly
plain one with long sleeves that can
Ottumwa tri-weekly courier. [volume] (Ottumwa, Iowa) 1903-1916, 1915-03-18

the skirt can be made to match as
we'll as of contrasting material. or,if
liked, the blouse with the sleeves can
be made of something thinner, as
batiste, handkerchief lawn, with linen
or poplin for the over-blouse and the
skirt. If the model is wanted for inn
mediate use. it could be copied with
skirt of serge and with the sleeves of
the same or of lace or net. Charmeuse

The Russian costume on the boy at a
the left is one of the best of its kind,
1t is finished with most becoming
collar and the full length box-plait at
the back gives the effect of slender
ness and height. The sleeves may be
shorter or longer as liked and the belt
of leather or of material.

BUSINESS MEN
KICK ON RAISES
Committee Calls on Council;
Mayor Lea Says to Be
No Blanket Raise.

A raise to S5O,OOO.0OO in assessed
valuations within the city Is too great
an advance in view of conditions. ac-
cording TO a committee of business men
who waited on the city council sitting
as a board of equalization Tuesday aft
ernoOn.
The committee. consisting OF 4. P.

Y. Bassett, 7. A. Spence, J. J. Mundy,
Frank Ainsa, James Lanier, Lee Orn-
dorff. s. J. Prudential. ". B. Banner
and ". D. Roberts, appeared before the
board at 5 o'clock. at the conclusion of
the hearing Of a number of compliments
against increased valuations.
Want Equalization
I'VE want equalization said 4. P.
Coles. but do not favor any anticipa-
ton Of values. In the past the basis Of
so percent of actual value has been the
basis upon which assessments were made
and. while some valuations have been
higher than that. that basis has been
adhered to pretty closely.
ave are here not to condemn the
present administration. but to protest
against some of the raises that have
been indicated by the notices sent out
We feel that the administration is 90
ing to be fair

c. y. Bassett said: "El Paso needs
and must have certain improvements.
but our needs can be adjusted to our
means. tt Is a well known fact that
MANY western cities that have grown
rapidly have Overtaxed themselves and
sre now toiling under a burden of taxa
ton. We IN FL PasO want equalization
and We want to make improvements,
but we do not want generalization
No Blanket Raise.
Il want to assure YOU gentlemen that
there has been no blanket raise" said
mayor Tom Lea in reply to the protests
The effort has been made along the
lines Of equalization. This council has
no thought of increasing valuations TO
provide for bond issues. There are three
things which We want to do. One bond
issue that viii not be very large will
accomplish them. When we get through
going over the assessments and we have
heard all the protests, one by one. You
will, I believe. all be satisfied. 1 tell
