As SHOWN IN THE
NEW YORK OPENINGS
Skirts Of Wool, silk or Organdy
ScallOped at the Lower Edge.
New Modes In Collars

New York, April.-All dresses are
full short whether for morning. aft
ernoon, revening wear. Collars
are high in the back with some OF
kind of an opening in front. One
dress of black taffeta has collar
high in the back with flaring white
organdy colalr above: around the col
lar and tying in bow in front is a
piece of black ribbon, giving the col
lar an old-time stock appearance.
Below the ribbon bow is an open v.
where the bare neck shows. Anoth-
err rather military model with a Y
neck has a collar high in the back
and coming little forward, where
1t is caught by q loop of cord to e
brass button on each side.
Many skirts are finished with
slashed or scalloped lower edge
which is bound with the same or
contrasting material. One striking
and practical dress which I have re-
Gently seen with thsi feature was OF
black wolfe over taffeta, in shade
of plum verging onto old rose. The
bodice of the dress had almost the
appearance of jacket The wolfe
was fitted plain over the silk and
both we're gathered together at the
waistline, so it had the appearance of
being shadowy solid color.
The high collar lined with the taf-
feta was high at the back, and on
the sides were separate pieces, which
looked like petals. to frame the face.
The skirt of black wolfe hung indie
pendently of the silk underskirt and
was slashed around the bottom and
bound with black wolfe and piped with
the tiniest edge of tn esilk. The un-

A SHRUB SHOWER

A young woman who was an Apri
bride declined all prefers of showers
before she was married, so severa
of her friends decided to go out il
the country where the new home was
and each take shrub, plant or per
ennial for the yard. So they sale
nothing of the shower. There were

over the mysterious packages, many
of them bulky and displaying theiI

due ceremony; the hostess said she
could just imagine how she would
enjoy cutting MARY Ellen's roses,
shipping sues honeysuckle,' etc,
There was a purple wisteria, clmif
ing and tree honeysuckles, purple
and white clematis, hardy hydrangeas
and hOllyhocks, and spires, not for
gettinfi Persian lilacs.
This affair reminds me that it is
now quite a fad to start friendship
gardens; one l know of contains
plants and growing things from many
famous personages. This shrub show
er seems adaptable not only to brides
but to friends who move to the coun-
try or for those who may have only
a small garden plot. All sorts OF
savory herbs may be grown in win
dow boxes; pea and bean vines are
hardy climbers and quite number
of vegetables are satisfied with win

and colors. One very pretty white
orgahdy which / liked had a skirt
slashed up at the knee-length. about
twelve inches apart al laround the
skirt The bottom of the skirt and
the slashes wer eedged around with
a continuous three-ineh ruffle of the
organdy. These deep slashes and
scalloph are very airy and pretty.
A Strikingly pretty evening dress
was designed by La Crox. The ma
terial used was greenish-yellow. call
ed exposition gold, grosgrain silk
striped with a broad satin stripe and
three narrow ones. The bodice was
perfectly straight under the arms
and fitted loosely about the waist;
the lower edge of the bodice was fin
ished with a band of the silk with
the stripes running around. The skirt
was also straight hanging, with a
wider band of the silk at the bot
tom. The sleeves and yoke of the
waist are of black maine with
cape-lilse piece of maline lace fas-
tened in the middle of the back and
extending to the end of the long
sleeves, The combination of black
tulle and greenish yellow was strik-
ing and artistic.
My second illustration is of flow
cred voile. The skirt is ruffled al
the bottom and in che middle with
two narrow ruffles. The waist Is
quite simple with three-quarter bell
sleeves. A vest and collar of white
wolfe gives the dainty touch of white
which adds so much to the dainty
colors of the new materials.
Girdles and belts which are to be
worn with the spring frocks and
suits are both wide and narrow anG
many dresses have none at all, sc
for once thes may be suited to the
individuals taste. Wide pleated cir
lies are to be seen on some dresses /
ending with long sash-ends, which
are crossed either back or front and
lied loosely, and ribbon girdles are
very popular.

Travelling Mans Route Probably
Too& Him Into Cold Country.
An amusing incident happened at
the Putnam house yesterday lore
noon. Monday evening a travelling
man registered for the night. paid his
bill after breakfast yesterday morn
ing and went out on the street, leav-
ing his large alligator skin bag in the
cloak room.
Soon after he had left one OF the
chamber maids informed Clerk Wal
lace J, Burritt that the bedspread
was missing from the room that had
been occupied by the travelling man.
When the alligator bag was opened
the bedspread was found inside of it,
In short time the travelling man
returned to the hotel and was sum
moned into the cloak room by Land
lord p. G. Cornell and told to open his
bag The r. NJ did as he was told
and the bedspread was removed Mr.
Cornell then summoned Sheriff God
frey and the officer and the landlord
proceeded to read the riot act. In
order that the experience might be
remembered, the trayling man was
taken out into the Office and given an
introduction to several other knights
Of the road to whom the incident was
explained
The man was told to repack his bag
and move on" but when the hotel
employees began to search for the bed
spread they found that it was again
missing. Landlord Cornell at once
assumed the role of tracer" follow
ed the man to one of the stores and
recovered the bedspread.
Employees at the hotel do not be.
lieyc that the man deliberately at
tempted to get away with the
spread the second time but are in
clined to think that he was so ratified
by his experience that he slowed the
fabric in the bag while not fully
realizing what he was about.
