sections, cut exactly alike, and the top

black bebe velvet. Is a simple and charm ns
trimming for this costume.
With cloth gowns of the most tlcraut
nature, the little turnover collar, whl h
seems a modest detail, in still worn. A'any
materials shape the narrow band, which
may take as many forms, and If it is
white, it frequently shows embrt Iderles In
the gown color. For costumes of silk and
dressier textures chiffon, net, mou se ine,
etc. the high stocks are nom -times fin
ished with a piping of satin, velvet or
panne In a contrasting color. A twist of
white tulle In turn tops this, and rare is
the elegantly dressed throat that doi s not

terfly bows of raw-edged tulle are also
pinned tt the back of the stork and at the
front, while several of the more del'cite
of the French gowns show even tulK un

All lace costumes are not numerous, but
late models show a lavish use of this trim

dation, so faintly axured as to teem
scarcely colored, shows Ihreugh these rich'
textures; ribbon rosettes in the same shade
made to imitate flowers, heading the trim
mings of both bodice and skirt.
Another casino toilette, and one even
more delightful, Is entirely of cream Urus
ael r.et with vine applications of black
and white Chantllly.
For gowns of this elaborate description
the blouso bodice, which gathers Into the
belt, is still much in evidence, though it is
varied by the little Jackets that hang from
the shoulders. For both styles the newest
waist girdlings are very wide, while the
skirts hang with an effect as loose ns it

courtly suggestion aa the jacket, and the
little three-cornered hat shown with the
costume may sport lace rosettes embrold- -ercd
with gold or silver.
Veronese green, velvet, declares a foreign
correspondent, forms the coat for such a
get-up, which has been compomd for spring
salon wear. Contrasting vividly with this
green is a vest of robin's egg blue satin em
broidered in silver. The flounced skirt is
of black net, shirred at the hips, but wi h
out other trimming.
The opening of the Paris saltm la always

effort is made to get designs as pictur
esque as possible. Hut the I-oul.i coats
are supplied for any dressy service, und
with the Intention to push such styles
here Importers are bringing over the em
broidered kid vests and cuffs which will
begay many of them.
Notwithstanding, It is woman herself
who shall decide whether or not tailed
coats v.Tl be worn, and there Is no doubt
but that the popular vote will lie for the
looe bolero. Frilled and flounced skirts,
for whl-h thre is just now a furore, no
charmlnsly with these, and hats of tho
isimpTcst line complete the girlish get-up.
The "gunboat" 9nA the "torpedo" are
the warlike titles of two of the new tur
ban models, which are shown In rough
straw. Trimmings of narrow velvet anil
nteel buckles deck the neatest of these, but
if the shape is of tulle and ribbon, a
paradise plume may be put at the front
or loft side. Some of the round sailor
shapes, and especially those covered with
silk, show small, low crowns, over which
the trimming Is put, often hiding it en
tirely. Flounces of lace compose the wide brims
of some dressier hats, whose crowns nro
not Infrequently of Watteau ribbons,
bunched and puffed in numberless ways.
Indeed, the new hat models are too many
to bo counted, and if there are close h;it9
there uro flaring ones, and If modest styles,
extravagant styles. Stilh what might be
called a studied restraint marks the best
designs; as little trimming as possible

Ribbons were never more favored, nnd
some of the wash petticoats are so beauti
ful as to Incline women toward the hope
that some day petticoats will be worn
outride.
For Instance, upon a hand made Jupon

a tender blur of color, though, of course,
the ribbon frills come off with washing.
Trooping garlands of narrower Watteau
ribbons are used upon other petticoat,
which are in tinted lawns and batistes.
