HOSIERY ALWAYS AN IMP RTANT ITEM
 WITH SMARTLY CLAD

Smartly clad folk must look to their hosiery, for this season will bring not few changes in style. For the past few seasons, one could not deviate fro mthe plainly knitted silk, but now even the most elaborate tastes may be exercised. For spring will usher in many new modes.
 There are interesting mixtures, for instance, black and white, prettily clocked with white, or black; and mauve and white or any other color. marks the height of smartness and novelty. Then there are open weaves in all colors, and lace clocking that is both new and pretty.
 The woman who would be smart must not forget the cleverly made wool stockings for sports wear. They come in various mixtures, and various start ling colors, but they are the very es- sence of smartness on the golf links or the tennis court.
 But modes in hosiery never really change, except to usher in novelties of the day For the woman who cares for them, may always find the fads that she desires, and she who doesn't may see hosiery that is exquisitely plain, made just to please her.

Would you--or could you-or did you ever dream of wearing lingerie as black as night? New York says you may, and to tempt you, shows charming un- dergarments of sheerest crepe and lace and tulle--black One need not be in mourning to wear them, black gown is veritable excuse, but the very love- liness of them would be their principal reason for being.
 But we. in the south. I daresay, and in Birmingham, I am sure will cling to our linens and cambrics and laces, and as of yore, prod our laundresses in cessantly if they bring them home any thing but white as snow. New Workers do not know the luxury of such perfect laundering as we have grown to ex- pect, taught by our old "mammies,' '' and for them the modistes have created perishable things of georgette. crepe. organdy, tulle and chiffon. exquisite in their very insubstantiality.
 But the vogue for the rainbow hued garments of corduroy silks has not superseded entirely the muslins and

Handkerchiefs and Gloves of Season
 Are Very Attractive

White gloves, it matters not what the costume be, winter or summer, are always de rigeur, and the woman who, when asked what her idea of happiness was, promptly answered: "Oh, a pair of new white gloves to wear every time I go out" voiced the sentiment of femininity at large.
 White kid gloves for summer have been largely replaced by the "chamois'' gloves, which come in such fine tex ture and fit so nicely that few can de- tect the difference between them and white kid gloves.
 There are those stitched in black, for instance, which are very smart. The natural colored chamoise glove is also very popular.
 less expensive glove for summer wear is the "chamoise- ette," or near chamoise," which is tub" glove and can be kept as immaculate as the driven snow
 Handkerchiefs of crepe de chine, hand embroidered, are very new and pretty, and some of them are quite elaborately done, including a beautiful monogram, while others have just a tiny little embroidered line edging the border.
 Colored handkerchiefs to match the costume are quite up- to- date and many 'modishes" use them, while others who are more conventional, still cling to the dainty, fine, white linen hand kerchlefs, sometimes without even spray of embroidery on them.

part of the infinite variety of things that will make this summer interesting along lines of personal adornment. Of course, when dresses are full, or mar row, undergarments are necessarily so. and this season. the designers have been given full range in width And never were things, though full so dainty, or sheer, nor so lace-trimmed as now.
 Not every thing is white, for a pale rose has crept in through the offerings of Premet across the seas, and a white which lis neither white nor cream. |" And seams are no longer seams, but lace insertions, says one who knows, for no one sees disfiguring stitches, but narrowest and finest entredeux. There are ruffles. and puffs and fril- Hest fluffs of lace and tulle and net for trimming, and though the daintiest bits of fineness may look the very soul of insubstantiality, they are truly sub- stantial and wearable.

Dresses for Daughter

Such a delight it is to visit the chil- dren's departments of t,-e large stores of the city and see the exquisite little lin gerie dresses for tiny little girls, or the 'teen-age girls first real pretty dress. They are all there in great assortment organdies lawns, nainsool1, batistes, and figured white goods. And such lovely play dressses in Devonshire and cham bray. Some with boomers and some without, long waists and short waists.
 One lovely little batiste dress has an extra long waist effect, trimmed with three rows of Valenciennes lace. The skirt is tucked and ruffled. Another has solid tuclling and low knots of Val; the dainty double skirt is also trimmed with lace.
 For the older girl lovely changeable silk of pale green, with lace flounces was exhibited; but the lovely tub dresses were the most attractive One especially stylish had bright red middy with a pleated white skirt.

BLOUSES FOUND
 TO VARY MUCH IN
 COLOR AND FORM

One may have all of the joys of an old-fashioned garden in midsummer dur ing the coming season, for fashion has decreed that the softer pastel shades with here and there touch of holly hook red or cornf1ower blue, will be in vogue The blouses that were so fasci- natingly varied in hue last summer, and during the winter, for that matter, will be worn again, but even more varied in color and design. There will be stripes and solids and just a hint of color in pipings and bindings.
 Then those who feel the charm of sheer white linens and lawns, with never a deviation from their snow-like whiteness, may have them befrilled and ruffled and capped, and of any material they desire. For there is great variety in the new blouse styles. One finds in the shops dressy blouses made of chiffon and lace, or sheer silk crepe or novelty crepeS with full sleeves crepe collars, boleros, or any other feature, new and fascinat- ing. that indicates the whims of the mode
 There are more practical models, in semi tailored styles made up in linens, or novelty materials, with touches of color in bindings down the front, pock- cts collars and cuffs or materials of different weaves and contrasting colors.
 An interesting characteristic that marks the blouse of tomorrow is the cape which covers the shoulders of everything. They are particularly bewitching, these be- capped blouses, and especially demure when worn by very young persons. Then there are frills to be found-sngle side frills or double ones-so full that they ripple and fluff, in an altogether lovely way. The colored waist has not outrown it. self, as is demonstrated by the bright hued things-soft purples and blues-that one sees ready for spring, some of them unadorned and some trimmed with but tons or pipings of white.
 Laces are lovelier and more in use than ever, and the lingerie blouses that have been rather in disfavor for the past few seasons are this year more ex- quisite than ever-mere cobwebby entan- elements of lace and lawn, to be worn with coat suits or skirts. Surely Dame Fashion has aimed to please the whole wide world, so varied and charming ate her modes in blouses.

WHITE SHOES

White shoes seem to hold forth now in their purity, and are the real aftermath of the very popular white spats. There seems to be no limit to the uses and t.,es of the white shoes, for they are worn from evening dress to shopping coatsuit
 The main objection to the white shoe has heretofore been the idea that wear ing them made the foot look larger But the French heel has done away with this objection.
 The most popular white shoes have been made of calf. but with the warm season canvas or linen will be used.

WIDE VARIETY OF
 HATS SEEN IN THE
 BIRMINGHAM SHOPS

Hats are going up-at least in height for the shops are full of models the trimmings of which have a decided tendency skyward. But that does
 not mean, that they are shown
 to the exclusion of all other shapes and sizes, for they are not. It would seem that never before were there quite so 1 many attractive hats as those for the
 coming season.
 Buying ones first spring hat is much more fascinating than buying ones 1 first winter hat, or even the second in spring or summer. And so the shop keepers are making it just as tempting ! as possible by showing things that
 beguile the most unsuspecting. One that has been seen in a Birmingham
 shop is the faintest, prettiest, pink just the color of strawberry ice cream ; and another is like field of bluets in April sunlight. Both of these were
 broad and soft looking, which, as the exception, goes to prove the rule. For it is a decree of Paris and New
 York that hats shall be small, and tall for early spring. Some of them are velvet, or velvet and straw, and the
 only change from winter days is bow of sunny ribbon, or a wreath of flowers,
 or twist of tulle. Then there are the quaintest and most fantastic turns
 Perhaps a velvet hat will be ruffled with taffeta, or topped with a puff of ribbon, or merely twisted upward with a knot Most of them are black, some of them are Joffre blue, and some of them are rainbow -hued enough to win the heart and tear the purse strings of the most obdurate.
 Some of the hats of the season, Ma poleon might wear with perfect pro- priety; some might have been made for a French soldier boy; but most of them are so charmingly, alluringly feminine, that no one but the irresist- ible American woman could call them her own.
 It may be feathers or flowers or tulle that trims your new bonnet, it is certain that you cannot wait for Easter. For with Easter still two months away and spring almost knock ing at the door, your Easter hat" will be Lenten hat, but no cause for penance.

PUMPS

The pump is very narrow and has an extremely high heel and is in almost all cases perfectly plain, although one Bir- mingham shoe store shows bronze slip per with an exquisite beaded bowknot instead of a buckle which is entirely out of date.

 Oxford ties are shown in the same leadthers for golf or other sports.

 Exquisite coral and seed pearl jewelry| is also shown, designed as our great grandmother wore her coral necklace be- fore the war
 -~~~~S~~l~4~~~-~4~ tiny rosebuds used on the corsage and on the lace flounces of the skirt.
 A street gown of navy blue and green checked silk marquisette showed the wide skirt trimmed in bands of navy blue taffeta. The jacket effect was used on the corsage, whiles the wide sash of the marquisette made stunning trimming at the waist line. A white crepe hands embroidered collar was used and an or- nament of braid in Oriental colors fins ished the corsage.
