Three boas are shown here, n in.
white, one in the natural tan and
white color of the feathers, and the
third in black tipped with white. In
the last the white flue is tied or pasted
on to the colored fiue, and there is
an endless variety in combinations to
choose from in boas made in this way.
But the boa may be had now in any
color, even the most unusual new tints
and shades.
II is to be remembered that a bit Of
rich and fluffy neckwear presupposes
a hat to correspond. In the group
pictures here a white fabric hat is
shown trimmed with q pattern applied
in small black beads about the brim
edge. 1t has a collar Of white ribbon
with small squares of embroidery in
black, and a white rose is mounted.

The weavers Of cotton cloths have
become expert in making fabrics much
like the heavier weaves of wool in ap-
pearance, as we'll as some novelties
that appear only in cotton. These
heavy weaves. including cotton cordu-
roy and corded materials, are also
shown in basket weaves. They are
all used for the popular sport skirts
and summer coats that are featured
SO strongly for street and outing wear.
All Of a sudden %cretonnes have sprung
into use In the making of apparel. Gay
ly Powered and quantity figured ere.
tonnes are used to make bright morn
ing dresses and are called garden"
dresses. Floppy-brimmed hats or
beach bonnets (Which are sunbonnets
parading under a new name) are worn
with them and made of the same
cretonne.
One Of the best models for a coat
of cotton corduroy, corded cloth, or
fancy weaves in cotton, is shown in
the picture given here. Like a few of
the heavy linen weaves, it is unmus.

upon machine stitching and buttons
made by covering button molds with
the fabric. 1t is cut along the same
lines as popular sport coats Of wool,
with high, convertible collar, big peck.

The ostrich boa has met with an
unanticipated but enthusiastic revival
Of popularity, and seems destined to
outdistance other kinds Of fluffy and
airy neckwear, The unusually cool
weather of spring has made some sort
Of protection almost a necessity, and
there is no denying the becomingness
Of soft feathers about the throat
White fox, red fox and light gray or
tan fur neckpieces n see with the
most summary Of white turbans and
fiower-trimmed hats. This vogue is
probably a reflection from the west
ern coast, for visitors to the Panama
exposition have found the weather
cool and everyone indulging in the
San Francisco privilege of wearing
furs with summer gowns.
The feather boa of today is short
as to length, long as to fber, and liked
best in white, natural color or two
toned combinations. Occasionally q
boa more than long enough to lie
loosely about the throat is seen, but
not often. They all fasten with bows
Of soft messaline ribbon, apparently,
or the exception is so rare as to
prove the rule.
Very smart sets consisting Of boa
and ostrich-trimmed hats are shown
and there are great numbers OF cock
AIDES, fans, and other fanciful orna
ments made Of ostrich to be used OF
midsummer hats.

"Mr. Gregg" exclaimed the girl with
agitation, as she put forth her black
gloved hand, IL suppose you know

claimed, much surprised.
My remark caused her to hold hel

me:
