LATEST FASHION NOTES
FROM THE FASHION CENTERS

mentioned last week, we have those
that are named after the Western
Exposition whose doors are so soon
to open and we have also the grays
that suggest the quiet tones of the
uniforms of the soldiers when it is
desirable to avoid recognition and then
we have the brilliant Military effects
of the dress uniforms that are worn
upon parade and we have indeed
great many echoes Of the prevailing
conditions that differentiates the
season from any other we have known.
One of the newest blues is called SOL
dier blue. 1t is not the tone we are
accustomed to think of by that name,
but beautiful, grayish blue that can
be trusted to blend with the horizon
and render him as iuconspicuous as
moving object can be. We have a
lattice green that is just the color that
will be shown on some of the decora-
tons of the Exposition grounds and
we have various other colors and
names that are equally suggestive.
In fabrics are many of notable beauty
that are soft and lustrous.
That we are to have wide skirts
and extended skirts. notifications of
%bo Cr:oo1;o. ;Jo, :. Je,,,o,c<.,+oJ
day by day. In the union Of such
fashions with the soft silks, is to be
found another interest. The silks are
lovely as those of our grandmothers
were not, for they take beautiful folds
and beautiful lines and are without
stiffness. To obtain the desired effect.
cords, ruff1es, founces and trimmings
of all sorts are used. We are taking
our suggestions from the Victorian
Era but we are making them our very
own by means of variations, adapta-
lions and the like.
For the dance and for all indoor
functions, there will be a dominant
picturesque or quaint note; for the
street, simple styles and tailored
effects will prevail and no matter
what notifications will occur, it is
certain that these two conditions will
remain. In Florida, white serge, white
gabardine and white flannel made into
simple coat suits make the prevailing
costumes for morning wear. For the
dinner and for the dance, there is no
limit to be set, but it is safe to say
that nothing that is extreme, nothing
that is bizarre. nothing that is over
done will have any permanent place.

7 YERE are three garments that
will go a long way toward
making the wee baby comfort
able. There is a simple little dress
to be worn in the daytime and there
is almost dainty little wrapper en-

Miss Highness is cold, and there is
a plain little wrapper that is per-
fectly adapted to morning wear
while baby is waiting for her bath.
The dress is made with round yoke

the material and finish make the diff

and the one designed for more formal
occasions, the one pattern can be
