L-w VHIIK t.Vli 1!) The street! Vl I eosuimts now being designed,' I tut.ll.. u..,T,lr,tr fii unit tl.M Intn season, have neverthelosa a sug gestion of spring. M:iny finali ties of Kngllsh homespun form a number of tho materials, these anil nulty Scotch tweeds .111 I suitings lending themselves Mylishly In stitching or braid trimmings. 1're-ich l r ': i 1 -1 t h Im likewise seen, this boletus showing wide lella and othrr de tails fif embroidered kid. l.lllle velvet Im used In any of these gowns -and when It Is needlework, gen erally relieves the Bin ill quantity cm Il iy il. Fur set imd knitted undcrjHckotn Rive lliem Ihe wnrmtb required for tho still wintry weather. So, when theso mutlliugs are dropped -the toilettes nre in.-ide up without Interlining and In tho lightest wny-ll Ih easy l net) how they tnny do excellent spring service. First and Mt ill triumph:! rit in the Hut of colors Is brown, whieh Ih nhown In buue charming shades tfan ever. In tho tweeds, homespuns and men's suitings, the brown mixture are effective, but a red dish tint In a solid cloth or crepe is the latest fancy for this fashionable color. Ilrown kid, embroidered with white, brown and orange, relieve an elegant cos tume in pale brown cloth. To the hip yoke of the skirt, which has a beetle dip at the back, tho shap.-d bottom Is at tnch.il with narrow horizontal tucks, forming, as it were, a deep flounce. The jacket is In blouse shape, with the tall, cuffs and revers of the embroidered kid. The shoul,ler run down into an odd triple rape, ending short of the front, and the full sleeve are In puff shape. ICverythiug is done to exaggerate the length of the shoulders of both gowns and wraps. 8o much I the drooping emulet admired that even the lace and chiffon pelerines are often alone dosignod to creato this effect. The stole, which are now worn openly mantilla wise, are sometimes hoped Into small capes, the find of ' which there curve Into the tig ore, aro (fathered under the belt. Uelow the girdle the pointed or rounded bottoms fall al raoft to the ekirt hem. Nothing; could be prettier oa a dim figure than such quaint trapping. A tHoto (uid muff of silver fox. In a p- p jUx mode, give the February cacht to plain gown In lJe gray cloth. ThU toilette Is eminently stilted to I,entrn weir, but the superb furs worn with It de mand chief notice. leni'.te tho nearness of i prlrg, g m 1 furs Billl hold their price. Tho great demand' fo:- many skins has, In fact, lucre ised their expenelvcnrsH, and manufacturers de clare th:it Finer tho supply Is dyiiu; (tit, next winter they will be dearer mill. M'liinwhlle, the shops liHve been r:in mirkcd for every stylish bit In a desirable pelt, with the Intention of carrying them over to the new season, of course. Flat milffs and round mufTs have received al most eual attention though the rounil models are likely to long outlive Uic c.th- i$kivtV fnl wMi a i -5181! mfM III t'OSTUMKS OF MEN'S SUITING AND FACICO ers; but the careful observer was not slow to discover that the little cravats, whieh have been so fashionable this sea son, were .tho favorite neck piece. A roll muff of sable fox sets off a dresa In lastleliar homespun. lirowns, tans and wlilteH aro shown In this mixture, which t;tkes in the wearing an invisible plaid. Tho belted Jacket Is distinguished by double tails, round. at the front and deep enough to cover tho hips. A small cai collar covers the thouldcru and the little r vera turn Uuk from the short cravat of saf fron lace. The skirt Is a gored model Willi a stitched hem and a single stitched tuck ef the s.une width. Men's suiting In grays and blues shape another smart gown, and another Is of vio let faced cloth. Men's suiting is an en tirely new material In feminine depart ments of dro.--. With all the lndislinet Stripe and cheeks of tho masculine tex ture, the weaves miptilleil for women are yet softer nnd finer. I'.l.ick braids trim a numlwr of the colons! suiting gowns, but other oven more stylish show only tailor stitching and a little turnover velvet eiillar. Faced cloth, as the title would indicate, I differently tinted at tho two sides, and Uia gown fashioned In such textures are made In a way to show both. Orchid vio lot a now and delicate shade with the un- der side, in mushroom white. Is the color Hchoem of one charming pvwn in French cloth. A novel shoulder rape displays the two sides of the cloth, the panels of tho narrowly gored skirt turning back at the bottom for the same purpose. Silk ami chenille pHssi'menU ries and a violet silk bratd are effective trimmings with this highly decorative treatment. For the first spring- wear nothing more effective or suitable could be found than any of these textures. liut If furs Rive the Icnten Rowns a timely nir, the straw b its worn with them are docidinlly spring like, and for quite three weeks straw hats have b"n seen. Those accompanying tho CIAJT1I. tailored gowns In wool textures, however, conform to Ihe requirements of tho mo ment, in that their straw weaves are so berly hue.! and often braided with velvet. Odd turbans, with the brim widest at t lie sides and tying over the top of the crown, are shown in mixed and solid colors. Tiny steel buckks and narrow velvet ribbons, in loose siraps and Hat rosettes, trim many of the.-! jauntily, and the shapes of ether straw toques mo so elaborate in them selves as to in cd scire-, ly any trimming. Many charmingly blniplo points distin guish the imp.vrled l.als. For one thing, several of the black or while hats are re lieved by a single bit of color, which lit erally nu ls the rye like a ti ish. A tur ban of cafe an hut straw and lace was wreathed with scarlet fuchsia. A draped toque of black net was even madder, for liMi-4-ly scattered over il w. re embroideries of peaeoc feathers in natural blues and gn-eiis. The slemU r beiul of the bird it self ornamented the front of this head piece. A swngger kink with a cloth gown, that anybody might copy to their spring ad vantage, was a scarlet pique vest. This was made exactly a a man's waistcoat Is made, with the excepti on of the dure fit, and when the little black Jacket was but toned over it the effect was gay. Fronts anl entire waistcoats of washable vestings are said to be uulte the thinR for the mo ment across the water, though they are confined to Rowns for practical wear. Belts, Ri'owinR every day wider and every day more decided ns to contrast and elab orateness, bcny th other sorts, dressy Rowns of veiling, crepe and cloth. For ex ample, a creation in bride gray cloth, a shade acarecly lined, Is girdled with scarlet crepe. A black cloth costume h.'is :i pi a cock green kid belt, and a white phiue dress a girdle in shaded violet silk. Still, Hume Fashion'B favorite lectuic 13 on sweet s-implicity. and despite the marvels she Is daily turning forth, the talk is not with meaning. How the thing Is done only those within tho sacred ring can tell, but tho most exquisite materials are m:tde to achieve what might be called midest re Bults. Nothing Is fussed or superfluous, ami with every detail In trimming chosen as If the wearer's neck hung in the bal ance, the cuts of all garments aro simpli fying. And this dressmakers nre willing to vouch for, for all the big sleeve.', capo collars and trimmed skirts that women are wearing. MARY PKAN. Frills ofVasblim. Tho shell is ono of the newest shapes In funs. In novelty ribbons champagne Is a lead liiK color. In laces the snowball and lily of the val ley are popular patterns. The hemstitched edge remains the newest Idea lu tile stationery line. I'.ows of various shapes and sizes adorn the newest I,ouis XV bodices and sleeves. T'l-ar-Khapi 1 spangles aro much used as trimming for handsome afternoon and evening gowns'. A dinner gown seen recentlv was a brown silk net, tin1 skirt being generously l.e lloimcid. Fringe formed of long brown pailletti s edged tin" trimming and adorned the slicves and shoulders. Openwork brown (dockings and bronze shoes were worn with thin gown, ami a. most effective touch of cont.ast was introduced by a twist of tur quoise tullo In the hair and pendant of tur quoise and diamond. All doubts may now be removed as tf thoy. hand-painted stockings" women's hosiery, that is of which we have been reading so much lately. They do wear 'em. "U'cl!. that l:i to say, they are really hand p.iinteil and offered for sale, anyhow. In a New York di parttnent store window threo pretty and quite blushing young women are engaged in "hand-painting" stockings "right in tho presence of the audience." Shirring is more than ever popular in thn old-fashioned way in which it lias been re vived, one charming gown has a deep etn 1 roidereil ruMle forming the lower part of the skirt. There Is n narrow tucked panel ruin ing down the front of the skirt to the rutlle. :, no at the si! vi the skirt Is shirred lu tine shirrings over cords, Intersected with penwork lines filled In with a star stitch. This is for a lew inches a litlla below the line of the hips. A shin ofbrnutij is a Joy forever. D R.T. FtLIX GOURAUD'S ORIENTAL CKfAM, OH MAGICAL Be Aim, IE lUtuoTfl Tiu. rimpica freikiia.
