A fine specimen of the wandering albatross, caught on the Pacific coast, has been presented to the natlonal history department of Golden Gate Park Memorial museum by J. B. Wil- llams of San Francisco. It stands five feet in height from back to tail, and the distance from tip to tip of its wings measures nine feet. T while on their! ¢ l']l!![h: Y| lation coat ne. We circle ev- Striking Features of the HERE is one good point about the spring suit this year: coats are made in lengths to suit the figure. The stout woman is not given a short coat, while the slight { woman who looks her best in a hip length jacket may have it. While the short coats are decidedly to the fore, the hip and the three-quarter lengths are shown, too, As to skirts, suit skirts, those de- signed for street wear beneath long coats or for house wear, all are nar- row, though some are slashed at the left or at the side, revealing a drop skirt sometimes most elaborately trimmed with braid. Others are cut in the simulated tunic effect. Summarizing the salient features of the spring suit are the following ideas: The hipless flgure continues; there is a gradual return of the nor- mal waist line; the sleeves are three- quarter and full length and usually set in plain at the airmholes; there s a slight inerease in skirt width, but the straight line continues. The suit Jjackets vary in length, though the lat- est Paris report is that the tendency is entirely toward the extremely short jacket, A great many of the tailored suits are semi-tailered; there is a use of fabric trimming in form of self- covercd cords and folds, There is a large use of silk, pariicularly taffcta, for these demitailored models, Cutaway Effects More Popular, As the scason advances the vogue for cutaway effects, scems to be on the increase, Many of the late models are cut away to an extreme pomt in the back and fastened just below the bust in front. Shopkecpers realize, however, that a garment of this type is extremely difficult to wear and they are modifying these cutaway coats so as to make them a bit more practical. The majority of the cutaway models shown in the shops are not cutaway until they come below the waist line, and then are cut in either round or pointed effect, both being in favor. As trimmings are corfined largely to the collars, revers and cuffs of the suits, these are given a great deal of attention, and it is frequently the cut of a collar or a rever thal makes or mars the entire costume. Shawl col- Jarg are again seen, but in most in- stances they do not have as large { revers as in the last sexson. The : nctehed collar and the small revers ot mannish cut also are seen on many { of the models and are well liked, | Collars and Cuffs of Mull. | Pique, as well as lingerie, collars | and cuffs made of fine mull or batiste edged with lace also are eimployved with exeellent effect, Most of theie collars are cither basted or buttened on s0 that they may be readily tubhed, Machine and hand embroi- dery is used on some of the suits, but only sparingly, In the plain tailored guits the slecve is seen alinost en- | tireiy, In the gier they are making a number of ot in slecve cut with a little fullness belew | elbow and shed off with a ¢ cuff. These are usually three-quarters or seven-eighthg length and are es- regi- dre models peclally designed for warm weather ware. Serges and whipcords are the fabrics that are finding favor at the present time, tafietas are shown, but these, it is ex- pected, will have greater vogue as the semmer season advances, An attractive navy blue mohair serge [ saw the other day emphasized the use of tailor's braid and tailor's buttons of black silk, which outline many of the seams and panels of the coats and skirts. The jacket was twenty-seven inches long and was of straightline cut. The center back panel extended through from the shoulders, while across the front and sides the basque was set on. The lines were emphasized by the braid binding and by the trimming of the braid bound buttonholes. The sleeves were of straight coat cut, medium large, seven-eighths long, and finished with a deep backward turning cuff, braid bound and trimmed with but- tons. Lace Ccllar in Open Pattern. An interesting new feature of the model was an open pattern lace collar which was in shawl shape cut low, descending considerably Dbelow the normal waist line in front. This col- lar was formed of heavy crochet point in champagne color. It was edged with narrow plaitings of black tulle, the coat lined with heavy navy blue satin, rhe skirt was simple, in three pleces, center back panel and two side panels, which overlapped each other to form the front. All over- lapping edges were bound with braid and at the fronts and the sides a tunic effect was given by the trim- mings of braid and buttons, The skirt was only medium narrow, meas- uring fifty-six inches at the bhottom. It was hung from a belt about two and onec-half inches deep. Among the new belts are inch wide belts of fine Morocco leather in high colors, the design being formed by in- terlacing narrow strips of cut leath- er. The interlacing is copied from ancient leather work and is most ar- tistic, the belt thus treated being sim- ple in effect, while at the same time presenting a novel feature in orna. mentation, Other Forms on Girdle Order. Other forms of leather belts, more on the girdle order, are several inches wide at the back and curve slightly in the front. So far the use of leather belts has been confined largely to the simple jackets, many of which are in the belted style. The old-fashioned straight around leather belt does not yet appear strongly on the horizon of fashions. Its appearance, however, Is sngesies in many ways and there is a ¢ possibility of development in that di- rection, An attractive gait shown on this page has the entaway effce’. The jacket has a twent) neh and has a semi-belted effect, suzves "ed in eut and trimmings, The fasi- jonable seallop is also used as o triv- ming motif. There is a shawl collar having oriental emproidery, The skirt is tunie effeet with the new and pop- ular balanced side seam trimming, 3 Pastebsard Pyramids, In silks a number of | | Quite the newest conceit in import-! ired ed place favors has anpe: from abroad in the form of minicture pasie- board pyramids, with tiny flowecing plants secming o have grown in then, The decoration of the holder porcelain, with a color monize with that of the arti tmulates y to har- jcial bl .

The inestimable value of a few grateful lines, and the wisdom | of trusting rather to the carrying ot carefully of one good idea than to the over elaboration of several sche of decoration and contrasts of color, | in one and the same unfortunate gar- | ment, . Most of us have come across, now | and again, that weakminded and ir- i resolute Individual who can never i leave well enough alone, and who add i rosettes of velvet here and groups o buttons there, tucks and flounces, ' frills and furbelows, until all the oriz- inal grace and elegance of the gown disgppear entirely under a mass of ex- traneous and altogether unnecessary adornment. To these more or less meaningless trimmings, the great ; French dressmakers have always been strongly opposed, and it is really a matter of congratulation that their | good influence in this respect should be making itself felt at last, more es- pecially as the beautiful fabrics which | have been prepared for the winter sea- #on, are 8o lovely in themselves as re- l gards both color and texture.
