BNTAL BOYS.
Spring Fashions.
Black velvet jackets embroidered in
jet can be used to renovate black' silk
waists.
Long ostrich feathers will again be
used and are most gracefully disposed
so that one often rests on the hair.
The English walking hat will be
quite as much in favor as it has been
all winter and the lines on many of
the new shapes are very artistic and
becoming.
Small bonnets are exceedingly at
tractive the Dutch and the Norman-
die shape and also those made of jet
or ihinestones in coronets.
Big picture-hats will be fashionable
and some have narrow high pointed
crowns others soft broad ones. Very
often the brim will be made of straw
and the crown of velvet satin or silk.
It seems in some instances as if the
very elaborate hair ornaments which
have been worn at the opera were to
be the summer bonnets with the ad
'dition of bows of tulle and lace.
- Bolero jackets may be included in
the trimmiogt of a gown as they are
only adapted for that purpose and
are as a rule made of lace embroid-
ery of. some very thin material in
which there is no warmth.
One of the prettiest waists worn re
cently was a Turkish jacket o! white-
cloth embroidered in gold with front
and sleeves of white mousseline de
soie trimmed with jabots of white Uce.
A smart style skirt has two rows of
braid around the bottom and an elab
orate patern across the front and side
breadths. Others again have five
rows of braid halt-way down the skirt
just Lelow the hips.
A queer fad is a tiny ruffle around
the bottom of the skirt and big velvet
bows at the side of the front breadth.
These of course are not to be used
on an ordinary cloth costume but are
more suited to a reception dress.
The disadvantage of all circle styles
is that they are much more becoming-
to tall slender figure;; but it is not
Unfashionable although pethaps not
quite so smart to trim the seams in-
stead of the bottom of the skirt and
this gives longer lines.
It would not have been thought pos-
sible a short time ago to have Eton
jackets made of light-weight doth; or
foulard and yet they are now most'
.successfully carried out.
A smart walking gown of dark
brown basket cloth has the teams out
lined with a. pattern of cut work in
green velvet. outlined with black braid
end the waist has the inevitable jacket
front which is completely covered
with the cut work.
Gold embroidered on white satin
sounds very expensive but there are
many qualities which can be bought
for little money and nothing makes a
more effective trimming than sowe of
this material put on as a jacket front
in a long plume the end of which will
go down on the hair or over the brim
on the outside of the hat Knots of
flowers are also put under the buss.
All the real Turkish jackets are very
expensive Any woman who knows
how to embroider can make for her-
elf a handsome and effective one is
satia or cloth with gold Waid. Gold
braid should be sed i prefer tact to
gilt braid 1 for the fereUr aktatgh
