Fashions of the Day.
My Dearest Adelaide: That winter ia
passing has passed k mere noticeable
in the bats one sees on Broadway than
ia the weather. Not that we are be
soming out in regulation spring bats
dear.no. Wnile "Easter hats" can be
seen in all their glory, we are altogether
too wise to adopt then with winter suite.
As nothing, however, has the appearance
of dire distress more than a bat that has
lost its freshness, we are replacing the
pathetc weatherworn plume and faded
velvet with flowers and ribbons. Violete,
ofcours?, ate the most popular. Cau
jou imagine anything prettier than the
different shades of the purple with the
gray felts? Sometimes you see the crown
of the hat made of the violets, and then
again a heavy wreath of them encircling
the crown. The popular shape for the
"flower hat'' is the small Gainsborough
which is "sailor"' more or less with
the brim raistd at the side in some and
at the back in others. Under the brim,
against the bair, either at the side or
back, more violet?. Flaring aigrettes in
mixed black and white add the finishing
touch. Sometimes the violets are wired
up to a height at the Bide, and again
wired loops of ribbon give relief. The
brim is edged, at times, with shirred
purple velvet, and again the raw edge
of the felt is left.
That purple can be worn so universally,
and by everybody, young and old, light
and dark, with such happy results, is
due to the variety of shades. There is
in the violet every tint of the color, from
deep to pale, from strength to delicacy,
and all that is necessary is to select with
care the shade that is most becoming.
But woe be unto the woman who thinks
ahe can wear any shade in the purples.
It k the moat trying color in the world.
. It will make sallow the complexion and
magnify wrinkles more tha 1 will black;
everybody knows that black can only
enhance beauty when beauty is strong in
cjlor red cheeks, clear skin and lus-

And the most important factor in a well
regulated kitchen is the range. It must
be one that the drafts are easy and ac
cessible to handle, so that the oven can
be tempered to any degree necessary for
baking. One of the moat particular
elements of making pa atable, healthy
bfcked too-i consist? in keeping, the oven
at the proper beat. It must also be
economical of fuel, in size and form it
must be symmetrical; material and work
manship the meet perfect. It should
have beautiful and artistic designs in
Nickle Trimmings.
All these essential features we have in
the New Lincoln Steel Range. This is
our reason for calling it the

trouehair. If a woman is past thirty,
and showing at all that the years are
passing rapidly, she bas learned to avoid
solid black. If she wears it, it must be
in thin material and Huffily arranged,
and even then should bs relieved with
something jet or a bit of color some
where. But violets are not the only flowers
having their day on these go between
hats between winter and Easter. Roses
too, are worn; and an exquisite hat that
I saw taken off the head at a matinee
Saturday was trimmed with orchidB.
That hat, or the brim, was made of shir
red silk, and of the exact shade and
sheen of the palest tint in the orchid.
The hat was sailor shape, turned up at
the back, with more orchids and some
ribbon loops mingling with the curly
bair. The orchids were built up on one
side with some wired ribbon loops.
Do you think that girl wanted to take
off that dream of a bat? I should think
not! And she didn't take it off, either,
until she was requested to by the usher.
Then she said, haughtily, "Please go at
once to the office and ascertain for me
it the mistake has been rectified about
my box." It had. After the first act
was over the girl and the hat adorned
one of the stage boxes, with some friends.
With the hat, and accessory to it, was
a cape of velvet and chiffon in the orchid
shades of course the purple orchid.
The foundation of the cape was velvet.
Around the lower edge, which was only
to the waist, and around the shoulders,
were triple plestings of chiffon in the
lighter shades. The pleatings are head
ed with passementerie, which was in
combination of gold, jet and amethysts.
Theatre capes were never more in favor
than just now, and never in more variety.
Individual taste is displayed, and there
is no prevailing style, aside from the
"twenty-inch" length as the longest, and
to the waist for the shortest. A pretty
one that I saw the other evening was of
black velvet lined with pale pink satin.
This, too, bad two rows of pleated chiffon
on the outside I say "out; ide" because
there are times when the pleated chiffon
is a part of the lining. Over the chiffon,
which was pale pink, was gathered black
lace. The heading was One cut jet pas
sementerie. The high collar was of chin
chilla fur. Inside of the collar was a
full niching of the pleated pink chiffon,
which was finished with two full pleated
ends in front.
Another cape was of pale green velvet
made double. The upper cape was cut
in tabs and edged with sable fur. Be
tween the tabs were pleatinga of pale
preen silk and cream lace. The linings
of both capes were of a greenish white
satin. By the way, brocaded linings are
not worn as much as they were. In
nearly all the coats, blouses and capes
one sees plain linings of silk or satin.
Black suits will be worn a great deal.
TRAIN TO TAKE
They will ba made with jacket and skirt jrp TO TITff
or waiet and skirt, but which ever way
will be braided. You can load them
down with braiding, or braid them in
simple designs, or confine the braiding to
the seams, but there must be braiding.
Here, too, must care be exercised. If
you are slender and tall your pattern can
run around; if you are short or inclined
to embonpoint the perpendicular lines
mu6t be observed. And which are jou
now, Adelaide, dear? What is that
western climate and life doing to you?
I can imagine the disdain in your face at
my details, but really, in 6pite of all you
say about the fashions reaching you and
the excellence of your modistes, I know
you have nothing there by which you
can gauge styles in particular. You and
your most satisfactory dressmaker may
have just as pretty ideas, but these are
