Fashions of the Day.
My Devest Adelaide: In a recent
letter I told you thatGaiasborough hats
were not seen in the spring styles. Bat
ow they are seen with the moot gor
geous plumage. The brims are not best
into sharp curves, but have an upraised
liae of edge that k broken by the soft
sweeping plumes. Some of the newest
of these hats have no high trimming at
all. One that I saw had fire long
flames three white ones and two gray
ernes caught together under athineetooe
buckle a little to one side of the front.
The hat was of black straw, with the
inside of the brim to within a few
braids of the hair of white straw.
Taste were two plumes, a gray one and a
white one, sweeping around the crown
or orerthebrim on one aide, while on
the other and partly over the crown
were the other three plumes, another
gray oae sandwiched in between two
white ones. An aigrette or a Paradise
tail swept back over the crown with the
three plumes. It was a bat picture in
every sense of the term. It was on a
beautiful girl, and was thus saved from
being loud, as she chanced to be tall.
Another Gainsborough turned out by
a fashionable milliner on the avenue is
of black shirred tulle over a black silk
covered wire frame. Around the rather
high crown is a band of jet On oae
aide, where the brim is raked, are five
ostrich tips which nod from the fasten
ing jet buckle. Under the brim and
running from the side quite well around
into the back are turquoise blue-corded
silk rosettes. 1 expect Madame Milliner
would object to my saying rosettes; it
was really one long resetted quilling.
A dear little toque was of turquoke
blue glam silk straw. Do you remember
that gkas dress we saw at the World's
Fair? Thk was the same material
braided into basket straw. The toque
was a folded Tarn, with two ostrich tips
black a cut steel buckle, and two
rosettes of white chiffon on the side
where it was caught up. It was simply
I was going to say stunning, but I will
say extremely etylkh. It was worn with
a blouse of black satin brocade which
opened with revere black satin covered
with open pattern cream lace over an
underwakt of turquoise taffeta silk.
There was a blue, finely-plaited stock of
velvet around the neck and a cascade of
cream lace falling from it down the front
The skirt was of black satin lined with
turquoke taffeta. Cream white glovee
stitched with black completed the cos
tume. Summer fashions seem to be one
round of laces, frills, furbelows, ribbons
and Unfitness. Any old thing of last
year can be maae entirely new by
making the skirt narrower, the sleeves
mailer, and adding lace, ruffles, flounces
and edgings of ribbons
Skirts flounced to the wakt are as
fashionable as they are awkward and
unbecoming. Skirts ruffled or flounced
to the knee, however, are graceful. The

All patterns must fit snugly around the
hips, however, and all skirts must in
effect flare out gracefully at the lower
edge.
Foulards, silk finished and satin finish
ed, will again be special favorites. They

Insertions, guimpes, flounces and ruffles
of lace will take away all semblance of
simplicity.
In thin materials tucks will vie with
lace, and will alternate in the combina
tion with lace.
Piques, with embroidered insertions,
made in circular shapes for skirts, are
shown in one house, ready for the dress
maker to adjust to belts. These inser
tions run lengthwise of the skirt It k
too early in the season to decide how
they will look when adjusted to the belt.
The idea k good, and piques made thk
way will be much better than with any
of the bias flounces. Pique must be
laundered, and material cut on the bias
will not withstand the ruthless laundry.
Guimpes will be much worn with all
summer dresses; half high, "V"-shape
and small squares will also ba seen more
than heretofore. Guimpes, by remov
ing, changes a dress from a day to an
evening one, and in the foulardt, with
guimpe and sleeves of lace, or some
pretty white wash materials, the drees
can be kept fresh all the season.
Blouses that are not much bloused are
the correct ones. Some of these spring

tailor-made, have the blouse fastened
below the guimpe and broad collar a la

others have straps across, with buttons
down each side, and others have brande
burgs. A pretty navy-blue serge costume was
cut with circular skirt, having seven
rows of graduated widths of white braid
around the bottom. There was a guimpe
of white flannel, tucked, and a sailor
collar and tie of white flannel; white Q I lADTFOT

finished the costume.
Another costume, a twin to this, was
made of cream-white tennk flannel.
Fashions seem to expect summer to
come much earlier thk year. Long
before the real hot months are here there
will be a flitting from town to wear these
pretty summer things. Everything
speaks of the country and seashore.
Though Broadway sees everything in the
passing, some of the dainty atyles are
surely to be far removed from the city's
dust and heat. Tessa.
