The simple, attractive dreBS, of
butcher's linen, shown hero, lays no
claim to lnnovatfons and Improvement
In shapo, but Is a model that persists
from season to season on the strength
of Its many merits. It Is a little two
piece affair, just a dress and wide
belt of the same material.
The dress nnd upper part of the
Bleoves are cut In ono piece with ki
mono Bhoulder. The lower part of
the sleeves Is set in under a hem In
the upper part, which has the effect
of a tuck In the sleeves. This makes
it possible to use narrow as well as
wldo materials for thlB pattern.
The neck Is square and finished with
buttonholed scallops. Small sprays of
flowers and eyeletB embroidered in a
colored floss like that used for tho
scalloped edges provide tho decora
tion and enliven the design. The
sleeves aro also finished with scal
lops. Tho belt is run through slides of tho
linen placed at each side and fastened
with a flat pearl button at the front.
Bright red and delft blue arc tho
colors liked best for embroidering
these linen dresses in white or un
bleached linen. On tho latter white
floss Is often used, but tho red or bluo
gives opportunity for matching up hair
ribbons and embroidery.
Among the novelties In children's
models are those little dresses of sheer
white materials cut much like the
linen dress shown hero but having the
portion below tho belt made of single,

All Sorts of
All sorts of new bags were brought
out to meet tho demand for new ac
cessories of rtresB which arrive with
each Easter.
Besides tho bags of pin-seal and
other leathers, of which examples are
shown in tho Illustration, there aro
bags of moire silk and of brocaded
ribbons. Tho handsomo beaded bags,
never out of style, appeared also, with
new fastenings and handsomo silk
tops.
Bags aro medium and smaller than
medium in size, but manage to carry
tho essential fittings. Tho small coin
purso and tho small attached mirror
are conveniences that cannot bo dis
pensed with. In tho now bag tho lit
tlo coin purso Is fastened to tho bag
with a fine chain of gun metal or sil
ver and tho mirror Is attached to tho
framo of the bag with a narro'w rib
bon. There is no trouble In finding
them, nnd they cannot be misplaced.
Many of tho bags of pin-seal are
lined with flowered silk. This makes
a striking contrast with the outBido
of tho bag, which Is unusually plain.
Soft leather and good workmnnshlp In
making aro the points that spell suc
cess in tho new bags. Some or them
aro mado with Boveral compartments,
bo that women may practlco some sys
tem of orderliness in carrying the
number of th(ngB which will accumu
late in a handbag.
The bags of silk and those that aro
beaded aro long and, rather narrow.
They are mounted . on collapsible
rims which may be pulled out to a
mouth as largo as tho bag is wide and
pressed back again into a small neck
which la covered with a metal cap In
which a Jewel Is sometimes set. But
double or triple ruffles. Tho belt is
made o wide messallne ribbon shirred
at the front, back and sides. At tho
back a short full bow adds to tho fluf
flness of tho dainty dress.
Instead of embroidery at tho neck
a narrow ruffle outlines It. Small ro
settes at( each side give the "finishing
touches.
Shoes with white kid tops and pat
ent leather vamps are' worn with
ribbed stockings of lisle thread.
New Bordered Foulards.
Borders, which were just a trifle
out for the last season or so, aro
coming back Into favor. Tho em
broidered flounclngs aro always more
or less In use, but just at present
there is a showing of rich colored
foulards with riotous borders of
black and colors. One silk in a dark
American beauty has a border of
largo, black roses, about ten Inches
deep. Tho same border appears on n
white foulard. A Belgian bluo silk
has a border of narrow vertical
stripes of bright magenta, almost fif
teen inches deep. On another blue
foulard a tropical growth of yellow
and red and green flora and black
ferns springs from a narrow black
band, while small black "stars" are
scattered over tho blue sky. Suggest
ing the far East is still another blue
not quite so deep as the Belgian
shade, tho border of which Is an
oriental and conventional pattern of
dull tans and greens and black.
New Bags
these are not bags for general wear
like those of bather shown in tho pic
ture. There aro great many dlfferont
shapes to choose from among the
leather bags, and several colors. The
greatest number aro in black, and two
very good types aro pictured of black
pin-seal.
JULIA BOTTOMLEY.
Beauty Hints,
A Ilttlo rougo carefully applied
will often freshen up the skin and
give a bright, youthful appearance,
but paint and powder, put on with
brushes and slap-dash mako most
women 109k anything but charming.
Ono might as well rub green cheese
on one's face aB to uso gray-blue
chalk on tho eyelids tho effect Is
that of facial mildew.
Tho same exercises that reduce
flesh will put flesh on tho thin, ema
ciated Individual. Tho reason Is that
exorclso, good diet and general hy
gienic living will create a normal con
dition. Swinging Indian clubs will do
away with unnecessary fat on the
arms, also tho same, treatment will
causa angular nrms to fill out with
muscle and tissue. Tho motor car,
good food and lazy habits are the
commonest causes of moBt of the
cases of obesity. No woman is hap
py who is carrying about twlco as
much weight as she should. No worn
nn who Is willing to do a Ilttlo work
and practice self-sacrifice need suffer
from an oversupply of adiposo tissue.
