Fashions of Sprin r BY MARY MARSHALL. UT of the melange of fash- ions that were offered for our inspection By Inventive dress- makers and miluners last Spring some were bound to persist. And there were some of the novelties for which even their in- ventors did not expect survival. They were merely thrown in for the sake of the variety they would lend to the general scene of fashion. But though there are always some of the digres- sions of fashion on which you can put your carefully manicured forefinger and say “This will not survive six weeks,” it is pracfically impossible, without chancing mistake, to point to certain other novelties and say will persist.” . For apparently fashion it is not always the survival of the fittest, orif it then it’is im- mensely difficult to say just what fit- ness consists of in fashion. Now it is quite safe to make a re- sume of the Spring’s fashions. You need not say this style of coat will survive, or this shape of hat will be smart t Sumnier, or frocks of this sort ure to have a vogue, but These hats and frocks and ‘wraps have persisted, and having survived the mobile days of Spring, will persist throughout Summer.” To the makers and designers of women's clothes there is perhaps no period for breath-takinz. To them fashion seems to flow as incessantly along as the Hudson or the Seine. But for the women whose interest in clothes is that they simply wear tHem there surely are interludes when their clothes, if well chosen, seem to remain in style This season is such an interlude. The faring silhouette for evening j= a well established fact fo mer. This usually means a irly long waist with almost all the trimming re- served for the abbreviated skirt, Un- Iess otherwise specified, one takes it for zranted nowadavs that the eve- ning frock is of chiffon feathers and lace form the trimming. Georgetie and chiffon ensembles that women are wearing for the street have proved to he far more serviceable and really durable than at first seem- ed possible. These are made with a quite tailored simplicity for morning. The very htness of weight of the material, its very fragility, seems to zive ft a sort of resistance to go through the requirements of a warm Summer day better than garments of heavier, more substantial material. ok ¥ % JHEN the season hegan. we are told. numerous women. old and voung, who couldn’t afford or didn't want to afford a new coat for this Spring and Summer vear's coat and. having measured it round the hem, bought a sufficient length of fur border and fastened this on as best they could for the sake of a new fashion. These fur-bordered coats, though you still see them. do not seem to have persisted very well At any rate good taste are not buyving them so eagerly as they were, and 1 known of women who have sent their | fur-hordered coats to the tailor lately to have the fur removed. That is sometimes the fate of a fashion that waxes 100 popular at the outset There seems to be a strong disposi tion now to leave the making of a coat entirely to the tailor, ignoring the furrier entirely.

(Up in the great lonesome woods of the North the old guides have made up many yarns, which they tell over and over to the tenderfeet from the cities—their own way of explaining the strange tracks and weird nofses. Mr. Childs, who used to be a game warden in the woods of northern Wi consin, collected these stories himself from the “oldtimers.”) “0ld White Deer, that Indian chief that came into camp one day to confab with me. says his grandfather could remember very well the days when the hears in these parts had beautiful, jong, hushy: talls,” declared the Old Gulde thoughtfully. He was seated comfortably on the ground. his back against a tree trunk, cleaning his un FUN certainly never heard about any hears that had long. beautiful, bushy tails,” declared Sonny, who was stretched out full length at the feet of Snowshoe Bill, the Old Guide. “Oh. I'd heard tell of it.”" declared the Old Guide, in an off-hand sort of manner, “but I never got the straight of it before.” “Well, what is the straight of it?” ed Sonny, swallowing the hook. ‘The bears wore thelr tails clean off, that's what they did,” related Snow- shoe Bill. “One nice sunny afternoon after a heavy shower a bunch of young bears were going up a steep, muddy_hill_hereabouts when one of them happened to slip. He lost his balance altogether, and away he slid down the hill, plumb to the bottom. ““Well, sir, that bear had never had such fun in his life. While his friends were feeling sorry for him, he climbed back up that hill, sat down, took hold of his hind feet and slid down agai The others thought he was crazy hut one of the bravest ones decided he'd try_ the trick. too, and away he went down the hill after his friend. “The pest of the voung bears saw that they must be missing some sport, so they joined in, and pretty soon the whole bunch was sliding down the hill,’| again and again. “They kept on until they wore their tails clear off, and ever since then there haven't been any bears with tails.” Misunderstood. “Surely, John, you haven't brought any one home to dinner?” “Sure T have. Haven't you got any- thing for them?" “Why, no. you told me vou'd bring home a couple of lobsters for dinner.” “So 1 have. They're waitnig in the parlor.” S At Last.
