12 T H E V 0 U 11 1 E 11 FASHION The new .spring fabrics those sent in advance as a forerunner of the sea sonare rhiflly dotted dimities anil emlrolIerel mulls. All are elaborate, many of the skirts being embroidered all over. And flounces! There are from one to six of these made as full as possible, and the skirts almost stand alone. The rallies, too, are embroidered about the edge, and hemstitched where they join the skirt. Filet lace and insertion are also shown on the new robes, which come ready to ut on the silk slip. One of these half-made garments Is of silky line linen literally covered with a coarse lllet lace. It winds about the entire skirt and edges the wide, grad uated flounce at the bottom. The bodice what one can see of it before it is put together has points of the lace all over from top to bottom. Tans and black-and-white in combination seem to have the lead, if we can judge by the samples. On New Year's Kve the crowds at the fashionable dining places exhibited some ravishing wraps. The gowns be neath them were not so wonderful, but the wraps were striking. One with a Worth label that rested beside my own was the most exquisite thing of its kind I have ever seen. It was pri marily of brocaded silk velvet of su perior texture. The ground was a deli cate cream in color, while the roses with which it was strewn were of un natural soft tints of bride and blush roses, shading into delicate azure. The cloak was half-fitting and long. About the bottom was a chiffon Hounce a foot or more in depth, edged with one ruch lng upon another. This chiffon had in It all the faint tints of the rainbow, and upon the rich material which com posed the wrap was most effective. There were four of these full llounces, two of plain cream-colored chiffon and two of the rainbow variety. About the hand fell six of the full flounces from the botom of the wide sleeve. One of thes. was of Russian lace. The-e llounces, with their variety of lace and chiffon, outlined the entire garment. They garnished the wide collar and adorned both sides of the front open ing. To this trimming a narrow band of sable was added. The wrap was lined throughout with bright pink panne velvet. It seems now to be Quite proper to use panne or highly colored silks for linings, making the inside of the wrap almost as attractive as the exterior. Another imported wrap had rosebuds of delicate pink and white upon the lining of the sleeves, where they fell away from the elbow to the hand, anil the effect was charming. A novel black-and-white cloak of New York make was over white panne. It was made of velvet ribbon and fine black lace alternating in longitudinal stripes. It was very handsome, but it lacked the Indefinite chic charm of the French garments. A short sable coat had most remark able sleeves. They were very wide from the elbows, almost Chinese, and had a ruffle of fur at the hand. This served as a background for many lovely lace ruffles. The effect was particularly good when the wearer raised her hands to remove her veil. A white broadcloth had trimmings entirely of white chiffon ruffles and ruchings, and was lined with sky blue. Upon a recent Broadway shopping expedition I encountered two costumes which really merit attention. One was a black velvet serpentine skirt, very long (a serpentine skirt is ridiculous unless it is very long), and a white silk blouse peeping out from the open coat. It was of most carefully selected chinchilla. The coat was short, with bishop sleeves and steel buckles. There was lace about the wide, fiat collar and down the front. The hat was perfect ly flat, black, and trimmed with any quantity of tiny deep-red rosebuds. It was worn well over the face. The other costume was of gray and black shepheid's plaid, trimmed with stitched black silk bands and small steel butons. The coat was of medium length, and the furs which matched It so stunningly were black lynx. The muff was huge, and the long, wide boa reached to the knees. A blnck hat with a white plume completed a decidedly fetching outfit. Town Topics. The Neatest "Woman in Our Town As Diogenes with his lamp searched for an honest man, so I with my note book searched for the neatest woman In town. "This is an easy task," I thought, as I made this entry in my note-book. 9 a. m. Monday .Have started this morning to find the neatest woman in our town. Am quite positive it lies between Mrs. Black and Mrs. Brown. Will call on Mrs. Black first. 5 p. m. Monday Am convinced that Mrs. Brown deserves the prize. Mrs. Black greeted me spotlessly and be comingly dressed, but when she took me Into the kitchen to see her new range I noticed a pile of unwashed dishes in the sink. Will call on Mrs. Brown. S p. m. Monday My call on Mrs. Brown was unsatisfactory. When I en tered her house the effect was neatness Itself, except Mrs. Brown. There was a spot on the front of her dress and her hair looked very untidy. S p. m. Tuesday Am quite convinced that there is no neatest woman in our town. Kach is neat in some things and careless about others. Kach has some untidy point. Will investigate further. C p. m. Wednesday After many calls and much effort, I have come to the conclusion that the neatest woman in town is dead. Common consent pro nounces Mrs. Gray the neatest woman. In her will she left $152.52 to pay some one fifteen cents a week for six years to clear the space around her grave of weeds and to scrub off her tomb stone with sapolio. This was explicit ly stated. Her aversion to dirt is shown in her last words. As she was fast sinking into unconsciousness she mur mured: "How can I bear to turn to dust." JANE YOUNG. & & "Jack?" "Yes, dear." "How do you suppose astronomers ever found out the names of the stars?"
