N OW that spring is not so far away, smart new coats have begun to herald its coming and to make us welcome the nearing day when we shall see greater numbers of them n the street. The showing of coats for early spring days reveals garments full of style, new and rather intricate cut, many military suggestions and fault- less tailoring. It would be difficult to pick out a finer specimen of the between-seasons coat than that pictured here. It is of light tan covert cloth, trimmed with buttons and stitchings in self color. It fits easily about the neck and shoul- ders, flares in the skirt, and is a loose-hanging but graceful garment. This very desirable combination of. good points is achieved in the cutting and in the wonderfully expert tailor- ing. The sleeves are roomy at the top, sloping to regulation coat-sleeve l|ze! at the fore arm. The smart band cufts are finished with buttons and simulated buttonholes, corresponding a4 SR LL the big stores and, quite likely, the smaller ones are having their annual white-goods sales. Counters are piled high with dainty lingerie of sheer fabrics, trimmed with exquisite laces and embroideries manufactured especially for the finishing of under muslins. Styles change in undermuslins and night dresses as in other clothes, though not so radically. The new de- signs for spring reveal narrow laces, very sheer embroideries, much bead- ing, small tucks and the us. of ribbon in the new garments. Small, fine pat- terns in embroidery are liked much better than heavier designs, and new tricks in placing yokes, shaping | sleeves, letting in medallions, reward the searcher after something new. One of the newest patterns in night dresses is shown here so plainly that 1 it hardly needs description. The body of the gown is made of two widths of nainsook felled together along the sides. At the center of one width at the top a cluster of twelve tucks is run, each about a quarter inch deep and six inches long. At the back the material is laid in box plaits an inch wide, in a cluster at the center. Six or more plaits are laid according to Hint for Photographers.

Add a strong solution of car bonate of soda to the reducing agent and water and the image will fairly leap at you.

Her father, Squire Bel- lairs, was one of the few men who, belonging to the old type, had adjusted himself to the conditions of the pres- ent. R Well, it Griggs was interested in a maid, it wasn’t anyone’s business, and it wasn’t up to us to interfere. ‘You can imagine the upshot. It there is one thing that enlivens Evesham more than another it is a married man paying attentions to an unmarried woman—or & married one, for that matter, unless she happens to be his wife. Of late Griggs seemed to have been making Evesham his headqaur- ters more than his business warranted. The sisterhood didn’t speak to Martha —they ostracized her. They didn’t speak to the squire, for he was not a sympathetic man. They attacked where they thought the best chances of success lay—at Miss Amy.

The sisterhood kept very quiet after that, but they kept their eyes on Griggs. It was about four weeks later that he stepped off the train on Eve- sham platform, with his perpetual smile and jolly air. He hadn’t done so before a female scout was hurrying up- town with the news.
