Suits are being shown In a rtjmber of
charming style, varied sufficiently to meet
the demand of the several typs of fash
loniible women whose favor makes or ninrs
a newly introduced mode. It nviy be said.
In general, that the a vera?" suit avoids
xaggersted lines and itriltet a happy
medium, eKpreiwed either in the new pony
coat or the new Eton. Although the llr.es
between the two are distinctly drawn, yet
frequently the Eton approaches the short
pony leiiKth and the pony resembles In Its
brevity Its fauhlnnable rival, the Etun.
Then there are the loose box coat or hose
cf mannish cut, which co:ne In various
lengths and ore popular alike In woolen or
Uiien fabrics.
The most conspicuous change In styles '
la In the lontf shoulder effects. The skirts

made of linen, ser;e and some of the voile
lultlngs, although many of the dressy subs

bailors and dressmakers are alo short.
One must, of course, be Influenced In the
adoption of the real short length by the
height of the figure and the c irrliiL-o, f ir
what would look chic or smart on o.ie pcr
on might prove most unbecoming to an
other. Tho materials accorded first place
In these stylish suits are the voiles nnd
Panamas, which are shown In fine stripes,
checks and outline plaids. White nnd
black combinations are very populur, us
they ure most striking.
Ilrown Is again In high favor. Several
beautiful designs are being shown In which
champagne and brown are charmingly com-
mingled, and some of the most appealing ,

are white and blue, white and green and
white and violet. The stripes are par
ticularly stylish.
. For trimmings, the silk suits arc much
lven to embroidered garnitures, to lace
encrustations and fancy t Ilk braids. The
woolens are trimmed with silk In matched
or contrasting color, with braids, silk
passementeries and batiste, embroideries
tnd laces of the crochet and lilet variety.
One of the indispensable garments of the
spring wardrobe Is the long iooso coat
n mi II in piiitwn in u. gioii variety ui
models as they are offered for a variety .
of purposes. For the tourist coat, which
may also be the motor coat or the steamer j
coat, there aro tho new mixed cheviots
and tweeds In check and broken plaids,
many of the smartest materials having
distinct black and white, brown and white
or green and white checks of fairly large
dimensions. These, coats are constructed
for the most part on box lines cut very
full from shoulder to hem, a semi-circular
back with center seam aiding to bring
about this desirable breadth. Velvet, soft
leather, or kid and cloth of a contrasting
color trim the collar, sleeve and pockets.
One coat that attracted punlculur atten
tion was made of a pretty red and blue
plaid, had lurgu, roomy pockets and was
rubberized throughout. It was on sale for
. tuO. Several white suits which were greatly
. iulmlred were made of serge, voiles or mo
V balr. White will again play a leading part
In the realm of fashion this season.
Handkerchiefs of the very r.nest linen,
Very plain In design, with perhaps the
hemstitched edge or a dainty embroidered
or lace pattern artistically arranged In the
four corners, Is the correct thing this sea
. ion. Tho barred or checked dimity hand
kerchiefs aro also very good. Those that
come with the fancy colored borders aro
only a fad and not one that has been
fenerally accepted. The regulation sizu

In price from too to $1M.
Tlie fashionable women will pny a great
fleal of attention to her selection of hosiery
this season, as the tints and pastel colors
which are so popular In the new spring
fabrics are to be matched In the stockings.
White linen and embroidery suits are to be
again in vogue, so white hosiery will hold
a prominent place. The lace lisle which
has held such a conspicuous place In the
j, last two seasons is being forced to tne
background by the pluln gauxo lisle. There
bus been an Increased demand for silk
hosiery. Merchants nre carrying a more
xtenslve lino than they have carried for
many seasons. They range In price from
$1. 50 to $1G. Ixmd patterns are not shown
at all, but neat embroidered work ls con
sidered very good. Advance in labor ii
making hand-embroidered work more ex
pensive, but the Increase, will not be par
ticularly noticeable this season. They cost

The veils are shown this season In all of

popular colors shown foe street wcuir.
llrowna and other colors are good only In
matching a suit or costume. Killing the
Veils with velvet and silk ribbon bands or

also the lace veil. These regulation vela

Very largo and very small hats seem to

j visedly extremes shown In the fashion
I plates art being exhibited in the Omaha

forming to all the best tne season has to

I reappeared with possibilities hitherto un-
dreamed cf and will be one of the moBt
effective and dressy bonnets of the mid
summer. Hound thtcad and handkerchief
linen will both be employed In Its construc
tion combined with quantities of val lace
and flowers and ribbons. The tarn shape
will be much In vogue, and will be deco
rated with tho Kngllsh eyelet and the
French embroidery. White and colored
linens will be employed.
Evils of Light Shoes.
French hcela are not the only things to
come under the ban of the wise. Another
cause of much suffering la the height
of Imbecility expressed In the Idea
that shoes or slippers shorter or narrower
than one ought to wear will make the foot
look smaller. Nothing could be more ob
viously foolish, for short shoes are the
sure road to bunions and tight shoes are
the suro road to corns, beside which a foot
"spreading" over the edges of a shoe too
small for It (as It will Inevitably do) ls one
of the most hideous things Imaginable.
Furthermore, tight shoes always so mar
tho walk of the wearer as to be Immn
dlutely obvious to all beholders. Who
husn't heard the comment passed on some
silly girl hobbling by: "Her shoes are a
size too small, all right?"
Small feet are not especially esteemed
In this country; proportionate feet are, but
even a foot be disproportionately large It
can be imade to look attractive In well
Iltting shoes, and If the shoes flt and the
wearer's gait Is graceful her large foot
will not be nearly so noticeable as If she
limps around In a shoe too small. Women j
do not torture themselves with tight shoes
to win each other's admiration. Every one
of ua has gone home at some time or other
with the girl whoso new shoes were, as
she expressed It, "nearly killing'1 her, and
once masculine society was left behind
have seen her wrench oft those shoes al
most before she took oft her hat nnd get
Into a pair of shabby, "down-at-the-heel"
slippers. No! It wasn't for our benefit
she wore shoes too small for her. And
yet, curiously enough, men are very un
appreclatlve of these tortures. Time and
time 'again I've heard young men no, not
spectacled college p.-ofessors or stdate Sun
day school superintendents, but worldly,
good looking, "daBhlng" young men who
set a prolably quite exaggercted estimate
on "looks" In their summary of the g.rl
question say that they were sure of one
thing the future Mrs. So-and-So wouldn't
do and that was to wear high heels. And
as for tight shoes, why, tiny always laua
quite frankly at the wearers. Who
doesn't? Tet girls will do these things be
cause they think men admire them. If
you are that kind of a girl ask some of the
men you know ar.d see what they say about
your tight shoes.
Career of a Whaler.
Captain William H. Allen, a veteran
whaler, died a few days ugo near New
tndo. Conn., aged 8i. To hltn lelonged
the honor of having made the most suc
cessful voyage on record In the annals of
the whaling Industry. This was In 1V3,
when. In command of the ship Onward of
New Fedfor.t he cruised In the Eastern.
Yellow, Japan and Okhotsk seas and off
the California coast. On the voyage he
cautured 134 whales, the catch netting 6,873
barrels of oil and 62.00 pounds of whale
bone. This cargo sold for $117.0"', of which
Captain Aliens share was $."!. VA Th

The first glint of the newest, daintiest
and nv-st exclusive of spring underwear Is

exqu'slte array could go awy w'thout
maun .a sausraciory se.ecnon. 1 r.ere is
every variety from which to choose, from
the severely plain to the most elaborate
patterns possible to conceive, and of coiitse,
prices range accordingly. Daintiness Is
noticeably the aim In every garment, and
the fabrics used are either handkerchief
linen, batiste, nainsook or longcloth. Nain
sook In the handsomer pieces Is given the
decided preference, but everything is con
anlruouslv anft. fine and free from dressing. 1
All of the very latest, up-to-date underwear
is shaped to give a round bust and a taper- j
Inp waist, nnd to flt with as few wrinkles
over the hips ns possible. This Is noticeable ;
both In the domestic and Imported goods.
In all other points, however, the two kinds

Delicate Embroidery,
To examine the French embroidery dis
played on this season's lingerie ls to pro
nounce It a work of art. The most ex
clusive designs and daintiest of patterns
presented, and often very Intricate
.iiicirai .o nnw" " I
u.ilic enece ainieu Hi. r.acu ui wm hijmuu
stitches is set with painstaking precision,
and the embroidery work ls always done
directly on th material. English eyelet
work and medalllo.i effect Is very popular
In this kind of work and It ls used on the
separate garments and matched sets. A
gown, chemise or corset cover and drawers
compose a set. Collarless night dresses, to
be slipped over the head, are considered
better than those with collars. The draw
ers are made with a circular flounce, which
la generally almost solid with trimming
and completed with a lustrous bow of rib
bon which adds a charming touch of color.
The chemise In these matched sets almost
repeat the pattern of the gown, but usually
they are more conspicuous with bows or
rofcettes of wash ribbon. These sets cost
from $13.50 to $35. Some very handsome
petticoats are shown and are more or lesj
elaborate, according to their purpose and
the material of which they are made. Knee
I'.ounces are shown on almost all of the
skirts. Tucked flounces with medallions
outlined with lace Insertion and edging to
match, and lace-edged dust ruffles witu
large, effective bows of ribbons are de
lightful for dress occasions, but wholly
out of place under a walking costume.
!ew Line of Skirts.
Morning and street dresses demnnd a
plain skirt of heavier material, embroid
ery of the heavier pattern making a sub
stantial flounce or the plain hem-stitched
ruffles may be used. These petticoats cost
from $3 to $10. One of the very newest
fads shown In gowns or chemise are thoBe
made of pearllne mull, which has the same
luster as silk and with dainty trimmings
of tucks, German vul lace and bows
of ribbons makes one of the most
attractive garments shown this season.
Another entirely new style Introduced In
underwear Is the princess slip. It Is a
combination corset cover and long skirt
and opens down the back. One of the hand
somest on display fits over the corset al
most plain, but Is Inset with large, oblong
medallions, which slope to the waist. At
the belt line there ls a wide beading
threaded with ribbun. A deep, sheer flounce
with clustets of tucks and insertion of
German val lace completes a very beauti
ful garment. These princess slips cost
from $8 to $15.
Fascinating; Fnolwesr for Sprlntt.
The traditional spring bonnet, in spite of
Its gorgeousness, is positively not to be
compared. In point of lewllderlng charm
this season, at least, with the eprlng
output In shoes and stockings. One feeU
after an Inspection of the exclusive shops
that nothing but a millionaire bank ac
count will suffice to procure all the rich
ness and variety In this direction that the
feminine heart lonijs for. Last season's
shoes and stockings were well enough, but
this Benson's stockings and shoes surpas'i
them a hundredfold in every point of at
traction. The charm Is not In the brilliance of their
coloring. On the contrary, a deniuro re
turn to mild Quaker grays and browns Is
a very noticeable feature of the new
styles. Hut, demure, though they be, the shades
of these quiet colors which ore employed In
this spring's footgear are Imlnltely charm
ing, distinctive and coquettish.
In the stockiaps nre quality and desl:;n
shown to greater ad'-nntav,es in these quiet
thades than In the brighter tones. The
silk is of the handsomest quality and the
design both new anl beautiful. There ls
great variety of design and both the open
work and heavy embroidered stockings
are shown. The plain silk storking, how
ever, of a fine quollty and In one of the
new shades, ls considered the most perfect
stvle for the street.
Undoubtedly this Is to be a brown season
In footgfar. The brown boo. with brown
stockings to match ls to be the fashion
able footwear for the spring. There ls a!o
the brown He snd 'he t uiitp. both fashion
able, and r.o doubt as soon as the season
gets at all warm these wli-4e more popu
lar although net more stylish.
The brown footgear lj shown In an ln
finite number of shades. There are brown
ooze boots, with yellow vamps and dark
brown uppers. These are shown to be
worn wlth'plala silk stockings of the dark
shade of brown. One of the nlc-tles of
dress ls shown here. Tho boot, being In
two colors, gives sufficient variety to the
ensemble, and so n plain stocking ls worn.
With a perfectly rlaln one-color tie or boot
a figured stocking might be more in order.
With a low tie of yellowish brown kid a
dull mustard stocking Is shown. These
ties had steel buckles of medium Bize. A
p'.aln gray stecklng would also look well
wltU the combination.
An exceedingly attractive new shoe was
made- of very dark broni- kid. No vety
dark was the bronze that at a llttlo dis
tance only the slightest suggestion of color
dlstlngulshenl It from black. And yet It
was Infinitely richer than black ai.d would
b In harmony with almost any coaluius
much more completely than a black shoe.
The bronrc shoe was low. with a very blgh
heel. It was fastened In front with a
dashing bow of very dark brone gros
graln ribbon, and the stockings, of plain,
heavy silk, were In the same shade. The
storku.ps bad clocks In the same color.
Next In popularity to the brown shoes
for street WfHr. bit a long way behind
wl en It comes to a question of general
use. are the gray shoes. These are shown
Iti pumps anil ties. A very handsome shoe,
but one too elaborate for anything but
house wesr or evening wear, wns of gry
undressed kid, made very high for a low
shoe, that Is, quite to the ankle Joint. The
shoe had a very h;h French heel. It
opened down the front so ns to show the
stocking. Above this opening were two
strnrs of the kid which crossed each other
snd encircled the top of the shoe half way
toward the back before buttoning down.
The shoe was heavily embroidered with
steel bends. These shoes were worn with
gray stockings, embroidered In gray.
In spite of the crate for Brown shoes
there must always be plenty of black foot
wear In every wardrobe. There are any
number of new block shops, pumps, slip
pers and boots In a great variety of styles
and many different materials. One pair
of black patent leather ties, very low In
rut. had a flat, straight black bow of
corded ribbon for Its only ornamentation.
Another pair or black patent leatner
pumps had a clumsy looking little bow,
which, In spite of Its clumsiness, was not
without a chic effect. Another very chlo
low shoe, said to he the most exclusive
design manufactured, was fastened across
the front with one little strap, which hut-
charmln(T for aresa wt,ar than the mor9
elubortt.u lireuwork designs in black stock-
lngs.
The black stockings embroidered In white
are newer and are considered most desir
able. The white embroidery sometimes
supplements black embroidery or openwork.
It is put on In most striking fashion, not
In dots, squares or flowers, but In a ser
pentine design which starts at the Insteps
and zigzags up the stocking In front or
from the side to the front. It Is a de
cidedly novel and striking effect, but hardly
in such good taste as the plain black stock
ing.
The black stockings which have colored
embroidery are meant for wear with black
satin slippers. The embroidery ls of floral
design, done In clear, vivid pinks and blues.
The embroidery ls solid, the flowers being
small morning glories, rosebuds, corn flow
ers, etc.
TELESCOPE HATS POPULAR
Pearls nnd I.luht Gray to Have
Large Rod with Good
Dressers,
The telescope styles will hold the center
of the stage in hat lines, as nearly every
i soft hat shown is made In this peculiarly
effective fashion. The new hat ls modeled
after the pattern which was so popular last
year, but the crown will be slightly
higher and the brim slightly narrower In
contrast to the broad brims of last season.
Pearls and light grays will have a large
run, this year and the Increased popularity
of tho pearl ls assured, but the season ot
gaudy bands has passed after what dealers
term a temporary flt of mental aberatlon
last season and a "safe and sane" season
is now predicted. The bands on the new
hats are usually of material of the same
shade as that of the hat, although black
bands on gray hats will be worn to a great
extent and will be strictly proper.
The extremely light gray pnd very light
pearl shades In soft hats will be worn more
than ever, and few, If any, blacks will be
seen on properly dressed persons during the
coming year.
W hlle the lighter colors are more likely
to be adopted by extreme youths and young
men, It 1b predicted that they will be more
popular with the hitherto conservative
dresser of more mature Age.
The hat makers are trying to bring light
brown shades Into popular favor, for the
reason that the owner of a brown hat will
necessarily have to buy a hat of another
color as well and thus Increase sales con
siderably, but the brown shades are
deemed passe and, It Is believed, will not
be worn to any extent by careful dressers.
Stiff hots of the present season present
more stylo and a more chic effect than
ever before, the tendency being toward
smaller dlmenHlons In both crown and
brim. The brim has more ot a decided
roll and fits closer to the body of the
hat, which Is somewhat flattened In ap
pearance as compared with former styles,
but not to an extreme.
Novelties are shown In a hlgh-crowned
hat with a flattened crown, but novelties
and brown shades will not prove popular.

PREPARED BY

Garment Which Has TnTed Iti Service ii
in Active Demand.
DESIGNERS HAVE SOME NOVEL IDEAS
sieves Will Contlnn ; to lie hor(,
bat Mack of the Fnllaess
llaa Been Tnken
Oat.
It seems Ss If the designers have put
forth unusual efforts this spring to please
the shirtwaist enthusiast. Never has there
been a lsrger variety, daintier or more
effective designs to select from, and better
still, there Is a stamp of newness on every
garment. For very early spring wear the
light weight sliks are th correct thing
and are displayed In foulard silks with
coin spots and small dotted designs, some
having tha background covered with narrow
white stripes. Fancy loulsines in plaid or
striped designs will he worn not only for
shirtwaists, but for the shirtwaist dresses.
Other popular silks are the messallnes. In
dia silks, rajahs and chiffon taffetas. Many
novelty silks sre also displayed. The lin
gerie wnlrt still continues to hold its
prominent place In woman's affections and
the great poslbllltles of making them plain
or dresf-y to suit every occasion makes them
more In vogue than ever If their popularity
had not already reached the superlative.
Lawn, batiste, handkerchief linen, sheer
madras In cross-bar designs and small col
ored dots on a white background, nre the
materials which are given prominence In
the spring line. In the construction of
these waists nothing strikingly new ls In
troduced, with the exception of the fact
that the shoulders are broader than they
have been for several seasons.
Sleeves Are Short.
In fact, the long lines In trimming are
returning to favor. The predicted absence
of short sleeves did not materialize, as
with few exceptions this ls the established
style for this season. The sleeves, how
ever, show less fulness, and what there Is
has dropped toward the elbow. The trim
ming of the waists Is their most attractive
feature. Handsome embroidery, Valenci
ennes lace, tiny pin tucked shadow, eyelet
or French embroidery are the trlmmlngn
preferably used, and from these most
charming and striking lingerie waists are
Invented. One handsome model seen has
tho embroidered Insertion set In surplice
style from shoulder to waist line, w'hlle the
Valenciennes lace insertion Is set In a series
of Vs, the lower one reaching to the center
of the bust. A very chic and dressy ap
pearance can be given to these waists by
the addition of a pretty girdle and sus
pender design, often called ribbon Jumpers.
In selecting the ribbons for these the
models suggest some very artistic ideas,
when the color In the waist decides the
predominant color In the ribbon to be used.
After a general survey of the spring waists
displayed It will be observed thnt fashion
accents the continued vogue of very sheer
material elaborately designed with the
daintiest of patterns and the finest of em
broideries and laces.
TRIMMINGS ARE PROMINENT
Garments Decorated with Braids Are
Among the Latent Tblnsja to
Be Shown,
The spring styles show a tendency to
load suits, dresses, separate coats, waists
and other garments with trimmings. The
cause for this ls attributed to the fact
that there Is no distinctively new shape
In the garments, and so to gain distinc
tion In style the more exclusive dress
makers have resorted to the use of ex
quisite and costly trimmings. The beauty
of these trimmings ls especially noticeable
on the new spring suits. A variety of
braids are conspicuously In evidence. The
newest, perhaps, are the. colored braids. In
one color effects as well as In several
Judiciously mingled colors. The mode and
the bronze the latter being an artistic
blending of the green and tho brown are
the shades which the exclusive tailors and
dressmakers are emphasizing. All of the
colored braids are designed In tho diamond
or curved patterns and often show the
combination of two or more kinds. The
flat silk braid In curved pattern and
ornamented with buttons of wound silk
are an example of this sort of trimming.
The soutache and radium braids are nmong
the most generally used, as nothing has
beeu found that can quite take their place
in the ornamentation of Jackets, that ls,
for the trlrrjmlng of the collar and the
collarless neck, and often the side fronts
and vests. They also make a charming
combination with the wide flat braids. A
good example of this Is shown In a hand
some suit now on display In one of the
windows which is made of light gray, toned
with an Invisible check of navy blue. On
the skirt is a large conventional design j
some ten Inches wide of the silk braid
In navy blue cleverly outlined with the
soutache braid. The Jacket has the fronts
and back, tho cuffs and the upper por
tion of the sleeves almost covered with a
smaller pattern of the same design. The
result ls very effective. Fushlon also de
crees that buttons must also be added to
give a really chic appearance to a gar
ment. And what a variety there ls to se
lect from. Handsome Jeweled and metal
buttons, crochet buttons In black and
dark colors, silk or cloth covered buttons.
The silk buttons must correspond In color
with the predominating color in the cloth
and very harmonious and artistic effects
have been the result.
RUCHING HAS COME TO STAY
Latest Neckwear Uralsrna Show Tulle
to a Greater or !'
Degrrt.
Women should give special attention to
the new and dainty styles in neckwear, as
thesi little fads so In prominence in the
early spring dlnplays distinguishes a gar
ment and gives It a chic and stylish ap
pearance. Many pretty styles ure In vogue,
th tulla ruche, embroidered linen collar
and cuff sets, and many handsome lace
sets. The tulla ruolia has evidently come
to stay. It Is true it ls made of material
pure or Ieus perUhable, but it Is im
mensely bee mil. g, and that In enough to
put it in favor as an Indispensable acces
sory to either the street or evening toilet
Tulle is also shirred Into all sorts of com
plicated forms, which gives a very pretty
and airy flnuth to a collar. The embroid
ered collar and cuff set coiitlnuo to be very
popular; Indeed, they have becomo a laple
article, and for- the gxd reason that a
touch of white at the throat and wrists
Is extremely neat, dressy and becoming.
Embroidered turnover collars of pluor
linen, with the soft finish, are retailing at
50 to hi cents. These are worn with both
lingerie and silk waists, the fronts being
completed by the dainty little cravat bow
made of lawn or swlss. which can be aaaily
laundered. While stocks trlmmsyi with
liarnow four-ln-hand or Windsor tlej and
cravat bows In plaid or plain colored t.'lk
have ben very popular. The lace u are
not neurly as much In favor as the em
broidered ones, as not only are they very
much more extravagant, but tht-y do not
wash so well or keep their shapes There
ls some discussion as to the correct height
ii the collars. Preference ls given to tha
loch aoid one-half to I wo-inch widlLd.
