Fashions of the Day.
My Dearest Adelaide: Easter day baa
came and gone. This is the result of my
observations, aa caught in a passing
glimpse of a block or two on the avenue
after church. It may be that I took a
little more of a stroll than that, but I
will not acknowledge it; it seems so dis- front than
They tbe waist and the jacket lining
look'so pretty, dearie, when you uncon
sciously, of course take off the jacket
in the beat of theatre, church or res
taurant! A change has come about in the
flounce that has been running up the
back on drees skirts. That same flounce
is no running up the front, wider in
in the back. There is no
tinctivelv vulcrar in this verv last end of reason for it but fickleness, and either
the century to join the Easter parade on way wider in front or wider in the back
Fifth avenue. Of course, all of us are it is not in nearly as good taste as one
forced into a few blocks of it in going to of the same width all around the skirt
and from church.
Well, dear, we are slender, we are sin
uous, we are sylphs. We wear big, top
heavy hats more. of that anon. We
must be sheath-like and small around
the waist and hipe. Hips, as it were,
have taken a slump. If, when we lay
aside our pads, nature still insists on too
much plumpness, then the masseur must
do the rest, for we have just got to be
graceful and gliding got may not be as
good English as it is forceful; anyhow
we must be slender. Skirts are tight
and sheath like around the hips, and
flare moat decidedly around the bottom,
either with Eeton flounces, cut-on
flounces, or in tbe cut of the untrimmed
gored breadths. Sleeves fit to the arm
snugly, with tbe only relief in trimming
at the shoulders; these frills or epaulets
must stand out, giving width to the
shoulders.
The top heavy hats, my dear girl, are
as a fashion simply abominable. They
have not one bit of grace or outline of
character. They are simply a shape or
foundation that is tipped over the fac
and something upon which to pile a lot
of chiffon, lace and spangles. It mat
ters not how broad the brim may be, the
space between the edge and the crown
must be filled full of twisted thin ma
terial, which baB the effect of the yards
and yards of stuffs worn around tbe
heads by the Hindoos. It is not pretty
only stylish.
The most exclusive houses are show
ing quietly magnificent hats graceful
with plumes and buckles. I predict
that in one month chiffon and gauze
will have bad their day on hats, and vel
vet, silk, satin and ribbons will come in
with sweeping plume3. A woman's hat
or coming from each side of the front
breadth.
Capes there were in the sunshine of
Easter without number shoulder capes
coming to the elbow. A pretty one was
of black velvet cut in points. Coming
from under the points was an accordion
plaited frill of white chiffon covered with
Chantilly lace gathered full. The velvet
was embroidered in jet, just a tracing of
the fine cut bead over a scattering flower
design. It was extremely stylish and
dresiy. With it was worn a black and
white bonnet, tull covered with jet
spangled net and a black and white
aigrette.
Capes with taffeta silk foundations
and covered with plaitings of gauze and
chiffon were in all colors, black, gray,
blue, violet and green.
A very pale shade of green is still
worn, but most greens have the tur
quoise tint You know there is a tur
quoise green aa well as the turquoise
blue, and the two colors blend beauti
fully. The twin color of turquoise blue .for
evening I mean in favoritism is the
cerise pink.
Edith looked lovely Sunday night at
the Sousa Concert in a pink velvet waist
made with a white embroidered pine
apple silk guimpe, which could be laid
aside for decollete occasions. With it
she wore a pale gray crepe de chine skirt,
and a large hat which was loaded down
with gray plumes, rhinestone buckles
and pink roses. She looked stunning!
Grace wore a black velvet waist a
sort of blouse fastened with rhinestone
buttons, and a black and white striped
satin skirt. Her hat was of pink crinkled
crepe half Gainsborough with black
with gloves and shoes, is the index of plumes and a large rhinestone buckle
her costume. There is no character in
the bunching of gauze, and it is too
"slimpsy" to use unless it is bunched. It
will not stand atmosphere that is at all
moist, and it is already too much worn
too common.
Turquoise blue is established as the
fashionable color. Where purple and
violet shades have been reigning supreme
the blue is now dominant. One reason
for this U that while it is becoming to
almost everyone, it also lights up well in
the evening. While turquoise blue was
seen in all accessories on the best dress
ed women returning from church in the
catching up the brim at the left front.

or thin, had colored linings, with tur
quoise blue tho favorite. Every other
color, though, was seen just a matter
of individual taste.
And, my dear, it did seem to me that
every style under the sun was fashion
able, excepting big sleeves and full
skirtsIf one has anything tucked away
that belonged to the fashions before the
arrival of the balloon sleeves, and the
six and seven yard width skirt, it would
not bd amiss among these spring display s.
An especially pretty fancy is the white
taffeta silk waist. It can be a regula
tion shirt waist or it can be a dinner
waist. It can be made without a vestige
of trimming, or it can be solidly tucked,
or trimmed with lace and embroidery.
For the street these waists are now worn
with white silk or satin lined jackets.

Tbe subject of bicycle touring has
been widely discussed, and in regard
to which a great deal of advice has been
given. Lists of the necessary articles to
be taken as baggage upon the wheel have
been made out; and a multitude of direc
tions have been laid down governing the
proper equipment in general. Nothing
that the tourist could possibly need was
omitted, but and here lies tho mistake
a vast number of things that she could
dispense with have been included in tbe
outfit. From this cause largely has come
the diesatiefaction which has been ex
pressed regarding b'cycle tours. Too
many of them h ve been undertaken by
persons so overburdened with alleged
"conveniences" that their trip has re
sembled that of a freight-laden caravan.
The secret of a pleasurable tour lies, in a
great measure, in the lightest possible
equipment. The tourist on a wheel c n
not expect all the travelling luxuries to
be found in a drawing room car, and the
more strictly she limits her list, tne
more comfort she will have.
A plan which has been followed with
much success by a man and his wife
who live in the suburbs might well be
adootel by tourists in general. They
carry with them as baggage little else
besides a few toilet articles. These are
packed into a etrong bag of brown linen,
made with pockets for the brushes,
combe, snap, etc. This bag is put into
the flat luggage-carrier, of moderate
size, which fits into the diamond frame
of a man's wheel. The repair outfitB for
the two wheels also find plenty of room
in this luggage carrier, so that they need
not be strapped elsewhere, and a drink
ing cup is another necessary article. No
attempt is made to carry any extra
clothes; but arrangements are made to
have these sent on by express to the
hotels or houses at which the tourists
are to stop on their journey. This plan
requires that the route shall be carefully
planned before the sta.t is made, and
that the cyclists shall adhere faithfully
to their program. Arrived at each night's
stopping place, tbey find a bag of fresh
clothes awaiting them, and having taken
these out, they repack the valise with
the things they have been wearing and
have it expressed home again. If they
are to make a stop of unusual length
anywhere, they express a trunk instead
of a bag, te be at the place at the expect
ed time. Harper's Bazar.

"Well," replied Mr. Meekton, with the
