The skirt is fitted over the hips and the ab- domen and it sbows.every small imper- fection of figure. The tartans, the little stripes, the flecks and the grays are smart for spring with a touch of red. The black and white pin stripes have an occasional pin stripe of scarlet and the gown is trimmed with scarlet. R > A skirt of black and blue and white pin stripes was finished with stitching down each seam. The sleeves were also striped with pins of black and blue and white. The jacket wds one of the blouses of the season, double breasted. with buttons in groups of three down each side of the double breast. - The collar turned back in rolling revers and there was a facing in green velvet ‘and white cldth. Green and blue will be very much worn this -spring and some of the green and b.ue combinations are {nvigorating to the eyes and the nerve. A waist in navy blue lace, dyed and made up as a solld lace walst, was worn over ‘4 corset cover of green muslin. It 'was run with green velvet ribbons which were tled in bows on the front. The New Green and Blue. This walst was worn with a skirt of green and blue tartan with a blouse to match. There was a hat in green and blue tartan plaid and big green and biue glass - orriaments were stationed around the brim. It gives one a liberal education In color to. examine the midwinter hats, for they are made in such varled ways and with 50 many colors combined. A hat of tartan cloth was made round in. turban shape. It had no trimming . whatever except a bunch.of cloth loops at the back; while in front were set big black jet hatpins as large as crab apples. In the spring gowns one notices the presence of fruit and fruit colors. Crab- apple red was the shade of a cloth’ gown worn by Mrs. Oliver H. P. Belmont. It was trimmed with apple green bands. The hat was an apple green cloth toque trimmed with crabapples. One will need to own a great deal of ar- tificial fruit this spring, and- one can trim one's gown with crab apples, little red love apples, early green apples and all the variety of the grape family. Very small pineapples, mock oranges and green pears are also seen, but they rather give way to the small and very pretty cherry and the lovely red currant. Many of the Easter hats will be trim- med with fruit:and fruit follage instead of with flower§, and in the street suits one will hotice the fruit colors in preference to the pastel cloths and to the delicate light shades which have so long prevailed in the gentte springtime. In the shapping suits one notices the cape-the-ground skirt, but it is not as generally worn as hitherto. It is not graceful except on petite women, who can wear anything. . And where Mother Nature fashioned one nice, trim little wo- man of irreproachable figure she made one thousand with a long gawkiness or a short stubbiness, both of which forbid forever the abbreviated skirt. The Escape-the-Ground Skirt, But for those who can wear the ankle length there come vepy ladylike sugges- tions. One of these is for the Russian blue cleth skirt, very neatly strapped and stitched as to the seams and made with a fullness that gradually increasés from the hips downward. There is no fiounce and no foot flare. But the skirt gradually widens. Around the foot it is stitched with curves of black stitching. This is done with coarse silk and is made as no- ticeable as possible. For wear under this escape-the-ground intine pet- skirt there comes'a little bril 1 get than ticoat which i a little the knees.

The button mold, all covered with silk threads, wound in and out and round and round, with French knots decorating the top, is seen upon shirt waists. So also is the blg round white pearl button. The large flat mold, which is covered with silk to match the waist, is also In evi- dence. And there are button molds that show a big glass head on top, of Parisian fety, or an expensive carved wood Chi- nese bead. The Chinese beads of red wood. bright as a firecracker, a glowing Chinese red are used upon the tops of the button molds that are covered with deep blue silk.
