New York, April 17.-April, with
apple blossoms and arbutus and the
fresh green of the first leaves Of
spring, has become the brides month.
II not the month of weddings, at least
the month when the fascinating gar
ments for the trousseau are displayed.
A travelling costume which saw not
long ago was shown with all the things
necessary for a trip across the con-
tinent or for European travel. The
suit was Of very finely-twilled gray
covert cloth, a fabric which is both
stylish and serviceable. The Jacket,
made with raglan sleeves, had back
slightly fitted and faring below the
waistline. The front was the unusual
and distinctive feature of the jacket.
It might be called surplice, for the
right-front buttoned with cloth buttons
diagonally over the left side, and at
the waist.line it was extended into a
tab, which buttoned again beneath the
arms. Braid was used at the sides, en-
the back and on the sleeves. The eel
lar was rounding affair which reach
ed around the back and the sides, with
the rounding part in the front. The
plain skirt, in two pieces, had the
front cut with an extended tab to cor
respond with the tab on the jacket.
