LATEST FASHION NOTES.

A USUAL we are having very dis
 "A agreeable weather in old Gotham 4 for this is the season of rain and ot wind, of snow and of ice, but the Avenue suggests the sunny South nevertheless, it's displays are fasci- mating and it makes most inter- esting promenade. The fact that few of us will require these garments tor many weeks to come, in no way inter feres with the truth. We love to look ahead, we love to know what IS coming. we are always interested in new fashions and new dcsiens. What would become of the feminine world u there were no gowns to be bought costumes to he considered and all the fascinating details of the wardrobe to be worked out. At the moment. atten- tion is perhaps especially called to the materials. and they are very charm ing. We shall wear great deal of SIX and great deal of cotton. They are made and they are combined in most wonderful ways and there are color studies that are really dream. Often it is the simplest materials: that give a new suggestion, and after all, it is the new note. the treatment, the touch ot color that means novelty and not the fundamental design, for the last cannot be changed as frequently as we, have been endeavoring to change it, without confusion that is unfortu- nate from many points of view
 One of the prettiest blouses de- signed for the South is. ct fine white cotton voi1e with high neck, turned over collar. long sleeves and cuffs finished with turned over portions. The euffssand collar are of soldier'ss g blue linen and the over portions are oi the same material in lovely shade of rose. At a glance one realizes that Paris is the source. the color is SO cleverly handled, the shades are so perfect together that only the artist could have thought them out.
 Undoubtedly wc shall see other com hinations of similar sort Let us hope they will be as: happy and as successful. Every known period seems to have been searched for inspiration and tor suggestion. FDht IT -fcanno1 DE said that the spring is to reflect one period or another. Indications point rather to combinations that really belong to the season ofnIoI6 alone. That we shall see quaint effects is a forcgone conclusion. and quaint effects mean full and fancy skirts and plain hodices. Here many readers remember when that combination was in vogue durine the latter part of the last cen- turv. These features are here today. bu+ they are different; they arc modified and the gowns which we are to wear during the spring and summer are copied from nothing else, are designed for our own needs.
 A fascinating afternoon gown which exenrpli6es certain novel features, including this combination of plain bodice and full skirt and which also roints to the way in which cotton is elorihed and used for dainty and even elaborate costumes, is made of a cotton voile showing an aA-cver flower design. Tha skirt IS made in three sections

CYPRESS STREET OWNERS OPPOSE
 SIDEWALK PLAN
Proposition for Formation of District Appears Doom
 ed to Failure.

The proposed Cypress street side walk district, petition for the formation of which was Ssrs ceived and granted at the regular meeting of the city council last week, appears slated for failure, owing to the op- position already registered by resi- dents property owners of. the dis trict.
 The first petition had the ten sig nature required by law, but it was stated yesterday that one of the signatories does not live in the dis trict, hence is not qualified to sign the petition, which therefore becomes void because it has not 9 sufficient number of legal signatures. This little defect can be easily remedied, however, should it be necessary, with no other harm done except to delay final action.
 Physical conditions prevailing in the territory involved, however. are said to be such as to preclude any probability at this time of the for nation of a sidewalk district. Side walk lines, for instance, are unusual ly irregular, some lots extending out as much as three or four feet, others being as far back of the line. It is stated that before the city could organize and enforce the building Of a sidewalk district, a considerable quantity of property would have to be appropriated, 1T the sidewalks. whsn built, would run "around and around" and in and out"
 q A~p<bow hoSi. fNr thc Ohicr rfiOu fC the district is the fact that unless the street is graded and drainage. ditches provided, it would be, question of a shcrt time only h;fore the eartt under the sidewalks would Dc washed out by the floods and heavy rains, causing the expensiN con crete walks to fall out of place and bc ruined Sections of the streets T the proposed district are subject te unusually heavy traffic, from ths mills west of the city, and this heavy traffic makes it impossible to build cf maintain an unpayed' street, ex' oept at unusually heavy expense te tic city.
 A movement for the organization cf a sewer district, which has al ready been; proposed. is likely to re suit from the sidewalk agitation however. according to, present indi, cations.

and these sections are joined by little upstanding quillings of old red silk. which exactly matches one of tne colors found in the flower design. It is gathered at the upper edge ana joined to a belt. The bodice IS a plain one with a point at the front and a point at the back, but the sleeves are very full pufs that are joined to it well below the shoulders and which terminate above the elbows: The neck has an oddly-shaped fr'll that is high at the front and forms little V at the back where there is bow and streamers Of ribbon. Down the front of the plain bodice is strip of lace matching the collar. To glve the modified hoop skirt effect which un- occasionally is feature of the spring the skirt is arranoed over an under one of soft silk and in this under skirt are two tucks in which reeds are inserted. We shall not wear hoop skirts. It would be impossible to do so under the existing conditions. but we shall see a great many distended skirts and treatments of just this sort that are suggested by the hoop skirt idea. -==..-@
 Taffeta retains all its place.. It is so perfectly adapted to the nuaintness that makes such an important feature that we cannot well do without it. A very lovely costume in delicious shade of blue is made with full skirt gath cred at its upper edge. It is trimmed around the bottom with succession of lace medallions that are oval in shacinp and generous size. There are two ruff1es of the silk set vide apart. one at about the kneee and one well above and these ruf1es are hem. stitched on their edges. The bodice is fitted cnd plain with quite novel sleeves. They consist of short puffs that are extended to the neck edoe in raglan style and below them long. c1ose-6ttine under portions. At the edges of the rufFs and of the wrists are arranged ruches of the silk. Fin- ;shinr the lower edpa of the bodice is gathered fri1l like those on the skirt which gives the short pep'um effect. The neck is cut to form modest V at the front and at the back. The silk costume IS scarece1v more dressy than the cotton. both are adapted to afternoon functions and each is fasci- hating in it's way.
 As has been stated again and again. there seems to be no limit to the pos- sihilities of the gathered skirt idea. These that are mentioned are good. They are new skirts made in two sec t;ons. the upper of which extends to about yoke depth. Each of these sections are straight and gathered. consequently without undue fullness over the hips. there is abundant breadth at the lower edge. The model is an excellent one for Aouncing and for bordered materials although it is to be seen in many others trimmed as the occasion requires.

he extensively used both for gowns and for street costumes. On the street we shall wear also great many suits made of silk combined with wool. We shall see the cape idea developed in thousand interesting ways.
 A very handsome coat suit that is to % to Florida during January is made of banana-colored silk with cloth. The skirt is gracefully full with a panel of the cloth at each eide. It IS laid in an inverted plait and extended to form a short band around the lower edge. At the front and at the back silk is the material and there is a short tunic of the silk which extends just a few inches below the jacket. The coat is < +0 the tailored sort but the belt is formed by ribbon inserted in casing and drawn LID to form shirrings. ltis buttoned right up to the neck with high collar that is finished with a flarinc frill, and the sleeves are cut in one with it in kimono style finished at the elbows with circular ruffies. These ruffles, the jacket, the peplum and the lower edge of the skirt all are cut in big scallops and bound with SILK.
 A very handsome bolero costume is of blue serge with faille. The short skirt is very full with draped apron over skirt. The bolero is of the serge with silk sleeves and deep silk cuffs. The sleeves are in leg of mutton style. The collar forms a good effect at the back which is of silk edged with a fold O! serge. The vest is of silk embroidered and it extends below the jacket to reveal this last feature. DESCRIPTION OF PATTERNS 8637 Loose Coat for Misses and Small .. Women, 16 and IS years.

Mayor Simon Bloom and City Engineer Allen are figuring also, it is said. on same msthod of improving the drainage conditions in that section, by doing some grading and ditching, laltho the heavy cost involved is a matter of serious moment, especially in view of the condition of the city's finances.
