Embroidered pon Recs havo arrived, Justly achieving tholr fashionable success on tho strength of tholr fiber, tho purity of tholr color nnd the excellence of their necdlo worked design. From purest orcam to the warmest aandy brown tholr tints and tones prevail, and in agroeablo accord tho embroidery Is done In cream on tho brown and In deeper brown on tho cream. Just what effect Is secured In tho makeup of these doublo width goods Is adequately portrayed in tho illustration of an Ideal Juno gown. A very palo brown pongee, full of sunlight glints and brocaded in big pale yellow sun spots, Is tho ma terial of thla1 costumo. Its flounces aro topped off as so many flounces aro these days by an Inset border of cream fantnsy laco that ahovut through Its mesh the yel low silk petticoat on which tho skirt Is founded. Tho waist is artistically treated with lace nnd thin brown grass linen, pin tucked with yellow sowing Bilk, and of this same transparent goods the lower halt of the sleeves Is made. Lnee XorUlf, The woman who makes up nny gown this season without laco has deliberately over looked tho most Important and character istic factor In the dress of this flying day.

Chip hats arc,, of course, tho revolution of clever French brains, nnd are bewltchlngly pretty. So also arc tho thatch straws for country wear, which are trimmed with wreaths of tho lovely and languid vellod popples. Such popples do not pretend to bo copies of tho kind that grow In fields or gardens, but are of nny unnatural color you may please and filled Inside with petals of whlto silk mus lin, which happily tones and softens tho florid color of tho outside loaves. With summer toilets hair barrets aro as frequently worn as ever, but with tho dif ference that theso pins are longer and al ways In the form of an enamelod, or colored gold flower. A spray of lilies of the volloy, a wood violet with its green leaves or a pansy are among tho most popular designs for holding ono's back hair from fraying out la wisps nnd tags.

There Is no drawing a comparison between the toques and shepherdesses and Louis XVIII shapes, becnuio they are all admirable and all apparently equal In tho shares they possess of tho shoppers' affections. Perhaps It is safe to say that wldo hats aro a trlflo mora modish than narrow brimmed ones.

Two young married women of Minneap olis, Minn., are about to engage In a new enterprise In which they hopo to achieve a fair livelihood, if not fame and fortune. Their schemo Is to conduct n shoe-blacking stand In a big new office building in Nicol let avenue. Operators clsowhero would bo grocn with envy and It would undoubtedly Increase- their profits if they were vlslblo In tho transaction, but their plan Is to stand bohlnd tho business with capital and Instructions and not nppcar before tho pub lic. Tho venturo should not only net them largo returns from their Investment, but A HAT OF WHITE OAT STItAW. DEEP CREAM LEGHORN. don it la called Transvaal lace and Is sup posed to reflect the exact color of the vclt. A eholco specimen indeed among laces nd especially adaptable to the bowltchlng muslins of tho hour Is the Rclno Mnrgucrlte pattern, wrought of dellcato whlto braid In an claborato skeloton loaf pattern amid which in full relief small many potaled mar guerites with butterflies, dragon flics and gauzy-winged boctlcs nro scattered. Scnnltle Linen. Hand embroidered seaside linens engago tho enthusiasm of tho mondalnos, who have had authoritative advice, from Paris to the effect that these hand-wrought piques, poplins, coarso sailor llnenB,, eta., aro to adorn tho beaches of tho most famous Fronch watering place Though on this side tho water only millionairesses can afford to wear hand-erobroldered cos tumes, we of tho lesser incomes aro able to buy such admlrablo nmcblnc-mado copies of tho hand-wrought costumes that It would requlro an X-ray and an embroidery ex port to detect tho deception. There Is In all Heaslde things a mild rago for greon, this color graduating in tint and tone all the way from the faintest eau do Nllo down to the deepest follago groen. Two groen suits aro skotched to show the charms of. embroidered decoration. Tho first is a light groen sailor's linen smartly adorned on the baso of tho skirt, edge of mariner's collar, high stock and cuffs with tiny embroidered black rings of varying sites. The socond Is an English mobnlt, dried hay grnen in color and smarteaed with necdlo work done lu vivid cornflower-blue. This may read a start ling combination, but tho drcssmakors al low that any color can bo happily married to any green that is not a mineral tint and they potnt to nature In conllrmatlon of their assertion and coatradictlou Is silenced. Green's the Color. Nino-tenths of tho foulard, veiling and silks frocks nro bung over green skirts, foliage unaccompanied by any blos soms Is extravagantly utilized in -millinery this spring; thus ir straws do 'show which way the wind Is blowing groen is tho color which will most successfully rival tho long dominant light blue. Used as a skirt foundation with Its light, drossy covering, pierced with laco, the green beneath lends just the nice conservative tint of color to tho black and whlto foulard that has so far outaold all lis ollken sisters. This, say the beads of tho big shops, is tho rosuit of the natural preference for black and whlto in England, tho fashion Influouca of which we aro, bound, to fool. Though tho Amorlcan wonma does not strotcU her Anglomania to the point of wearing mourn ing for the lata quocn, nho is nevertheless unconsciously affected by tho dress tendency In Oroat Britain and by the fact that the Parisian coutouneres navo created rorao Nowadays blondo shell Is mado to hold a peculiarly attractive, sunny sheen, that Is beautifying, not to say glorifying, to any hair. Some of It Is very, vory golden In color, and tho pink, gray, pure white or opalescent fresh water pearls when set in It .contribute a charm and gain a luster tbr.t usually over teraptB the most economical shopper.

This Is a row of brilliant Mar casslto buttons. Marcasslta has ,beon known, worn and prized a long time, but only recently has It been artistically realised. It Is a species of jewelry surviving the eighteenth century when tho jewelers set the chips from pre cious nnd seml-preclous gems In dellcato, unburnlshed. silvor frames, that took the form of coat, and cuff buttons, buckles, cravat, brooches, etc. Marcasslto being wrought of bits of truo stones, lasts as long as any truo ruby, emerald, diamond or sapphlro will, and as Its material Is In such mlnuto pieces the bi'Bt art of the gom setter is required In their arrange ment.

Hats with ns many as six brims aro secur ing a well earned notoriety ns welcome novelties. Sometimes the brims are made of tullo gathered on wlro nnd their edges nro bound with a flno straw cord; some tlmes a thin, crisp straw Itself is used, but all tho brims, save, the first ono nearest the face,! ore required to stand a trlflo apart to convey an Impression of delicate and at itractlvo flufflness. Only tho crown, then, needs any off-setting additions in tho way of roses or, bows, and usually a tuft of something Is set against tho balr. Traveling and outing hats of all kinds have showed themselves no less progres sive' in that evolution toward beauty than tholr more splendid, rose wreathed, full dress relations. For tho spring that wo aro now enjoying a wholo tribe of delightful wool hats havo been brought out. In thin, waterproof, satiny surfaced felts they make steamer yachting, boating, golfr tennis and walking f ops and hats of overy color. Some of them are cream whlto, stitched in blue, bolted about tho crown with blue velveteen Bcarfs and fastened with enameled and non rustablo buckles. Postillion caps aro the proper sbapo for bicyclists, who wear a often winged hats of rough waterproof cloth.

Under no clrcumstauces Is a cap worn for traveling or sporting, nnd tho wool or folt sailors are tho only remuants left of this long popular summer shapo. Ordi narily tho new sailors ore mado of very pllablo felt, with brims slightly diminishing nt the rear, and a trifle wider In front than has been the rule. Around tho crown of a sea-going sailor bat goes a scarf that Is fastened at ono side In a soft knot, held fast by a couple of sliver pins, the heads of which represent some nautical beast or fowl. With tho hats that aro now seasonable It seems almost necessary, to wear broad back combs In order to give the headgear the proper support, and the hatpins aro more and more aggressively ornamented. Glit tering jeweled pins have hod a slight sot back in popular esteem, and gold and stiver headed pins, that are discreetly dappled with turquoise or fresh water pearls and that are also designed under tho rulings of the new art movomont, aro distinctly the mode. For cxnmplo, a charming hatpin will show a tragic and coralo masque on Its head, and tho eyes nnd hair of the masque will bo set with small stones. Another popular design Is a fat golden cupid with a Jeweled bow nnd arrow. Doublo veils of white under black have passed out.

She Is al ways ready for duty nt tho old-fashioned wharfhouse.

Sho sells tickets, makes out freight bills and receipts, collects weekly accounts with tho merchants nnd other shippers and checks off every bnle of hay, bushel of wheat or tub of butter that goes on board a boat. Sho oversees personally the re ceiving and discharging of freight. At the age of 15 tho affairs of tho offlco could bo safoly Intrusted to her care during a short absenco of her father.

Ono of tho pretty modes of making a pleated skirt Is to stitch down the pleats at tho top In tho shape of a pointed yoke, the stitching reaching Its greatest lengths on tho front nnd below the hips.

Chicago has taken tho .lead In a woman's venture of this kind and tho feminine pro prietor has mado no llttlo profit in her transactions. It is fully legitimate as a business proposition nnd in furtherance of the maxim about cleanliness bolng next to godliness certainly It is fitting that women should bo backers of tho scheme. It may not bo apropos, but this clrcum stanco Is a reminder of the man living In New Jersoy somowhero of whom t story Is told. Ha visited In England and was so heartily entcrtnlned that bo urged his Eng lish hosts to coma to America, whero ho could rccolve them lu his house. In course of time nfter his return ho hrd word thoy wero on their way to accept his hospitality. Ho put his houso In readiness, endeavoring to lumcmber ovory thing that was essential to tho comfort of a Urlton, mado amplo ar rangements for their morning tubbing, re plenished his larder, stocked his wlnb cel lar and on their nrrlval gavo them a cor dial greeting. Tho first dinner was perfec tion nnd tho evening passed swiftly. Tho Englishmen wero appreciative of his enter tainment as thoy said good-night, and he was ploascd. Aftor they had been in their rooms some tlmo he followed them upstairs. As ho poescd their chamber door he suddenly stopped stricken with horror. Two pairs of boots, mutely eloquent of long established custom, confronted him. It was past the hour of midnight, tho maids had retired. Even had thoy beon available he could not ask them to black tho visitors' boots. Thore was only himself and wife besides, and thero wan only one thing to do. Ho went to his room, removed his dress suit, pulled on old clothes nnd retracted hts stops along tho hall, noiselessly gathering the two pairs of booto as bo passed tho doors bo hlnd which ho heard prodigious snores to assure him of safety. It took him longer to black four boots than It' required In tho days before he patronized the bootblack's stand, but there was nothing elso for him than to polish away, whllo tho sweat dropped from his faco. When he finally deposited tho re sults of his labors at tho door of their respective owners, Joy in his guests' pres enco was tho least bit dimmed. They re mained for a week, delighted with his hospitality, and every night when thore was audible ovldenco that slumber had clalmod Its British' subjects he crawled along tho hall In his old suit and de scended to tho kitchen to wrestle with tho blacking brush, Each day he had tho gratification of hearing hts guests express their pleasure In his home. The night they loft he turned the koy In the door early, went to bed for a long, unbroken rest and was thankful to sco no boots standing outsldo the chambers along tho hall.
