It therefor stands to reason,. Zi' vWJioi .m uauva are even now nowinn . such ; affairs as these, from inexpen : ' Hive ones to those extremely costly, , . that Ws shall surely have' one season t jf them, at any rat. .", ; , , v - '..As the time draws nigh' when' furs will begin -co Jook a ' wee ; bit heaws more and more attention Is being paid l;:'i to the boasand Jrtolee made - of lace v . and other filmy materials. ; These nave ; been -worn when .suitable, all throuch , i the" fall and thus far In. tha winter and their daintiness has taken a firm , hoWL'tipon the feminine mlnda- Hsre v ; : agaU we see the love for lace, nslnir It In art possible, ways." Now is Just thel time.too, wnen bargains are surely to be had in this line as. well as manv , others., i Merchants are making room - for their spring-displays, therefore of fer' many beautiful things almost at cost price, simply because they have ' been on -hahd a month or two. "Lace and chlfton -emnahts ere being picked up for the boat and stoles so necessary to a full dtta afternoon toilet when furs are top'heavy looking. These lace toas can be made at home at a much s ' ? i it , JFfiE Dy DOROTHY OP SPBISTO, less expense than they can be bought ready made. Ribbon, lace and chiffon are the foundation of these charmlnoc neck t protectors,' and the pattern for the making almost a matter of-faney. In faotr anything this winter that is artistic In s' the way, of aress, is tne fashion, andV,. some one hae said that It is the first time in all history that feminine fashions are designed artisti cally." 'V . Whether; this Mast sentence be en tirely trueoj not. it is surely a fact in many cases,- as for instance the DAINTY ROBE FOR HOUSB' WEAR found in sketch No. 2. "Leisure robes are true examples of the dressmaker's art; and the woman of fashion finds it hard trying to get aIong..without two or three of the season's creations. They need not necessarily be expen- - 1 1 .. if-., ,i """.'..-1 CV f s jyrsW At: .'. -,v i , IfBt iMi lt " ' ih ' - 1 I ICiSi,I .lUtf"! "? Mil spring ,mctauBwBLOcis.a? five, but they are always the quintet sence of .daintiness..

For such a robe as this the sleeves seenr unusually attract tive, and so well- suited to the garment! Speaking of sleeves, too, It look as If those of elbow length were going to continue with us. i notice that irt A number of the so-called spring designs, sleeves of this character are given, not only In house gowns, but. In many-of street costumes. Numbers . of the blouses are so shown, as you will see in sketch No, S, which exploits' " A-SPRING LINGERIE BLOtTSB described as , "a' charming addition to thT wardrobe -of the girl " who glories in dainty waists. It Is made of soft silk, for this is the rabrie of the honr for, such wear, with much broderte, Anglise ' figuring in 'the decorative scheme, The yoke is of the embroidery and the fichu border around It Is orna mented with the samo trlmmlnx. The sailor knot and girdle are of - black satin." The above pictured waist "4s not only pretty in ellk as here describ ed, but Is equally or even more charm ing In some of the wash, material. With the ultra-fashionable ' folk, these elbow sleeves have been of an exceeding popularity the winter days, worn with the carrying of the large muffs so liked at this time.- 'Front these .two things the short sleeve aJ and big muffs bave grown p a "fool- ish fad" Indulged in by aome few. ''This new fancy is to take a pair of long gloves, (white as a rule) and cut off the bands, leaving the wriBts and arms covered, but the hands bare. Then the fingers , are covered with glittering and costly rings but the fashion is only effective In its own vul gar way,"' From such notions as these one turns with pleasure to the attractive little figure represented In cut No. 4, which is : "A PRETTY COAT OF ROUGH.' , CLOTH., ' '"Here Is. a mid-season design for a small girl that can be gotten up inex pensively, yet with good results. The coat Is a box model with collar and cuffs of red velvet bound with the rough grey goods in which It is de veloped. Being loose-fitting It is drawn in slightly at the waist with a belt of the cloth fastening under the broad box-plaited effect of the front. Patent leather shoes with white .kid tops are worn, this being a leading Style In children's footgear " Such coats as these 'will also be 'made of linen, and pique for spring wear, in many cases 'using some color of vel vet with the wash material, for the collar and. cuffs, these being made. de tachable, o they are easily remover1 when the coat Is laundered. I am told too, that the use of colored velvets for the grown folks, oh the wash mater-, lata, Will he a fancy for the new spring coat suits.'' There Seems to5 be a tendency toward the wearing of higher collars just nowl than for a season or two. For a time It looked as if no collars were go ing to be worn at all but the outlook now Is just for the opposite. This Is all well enough while it Is still cold, but I suspect when warm weather comes again, low collars will be very much In evidence.: Now they are so high that Ih order to relieve the plain ness which seems to occur from so long a line in the back, little bows are added Just there, to the collar. Of course this decoration applies to a suit collar I mean an- entire gown ail of one material, for. It is in thls caM where the collars are highest. It la to be noticed however, that tne stocks of linen, etc., upon the, market, are a, fraction higher than at this time last year. These are surely pretty, too. as are the belts' which are shown in some instances at least, to match the col lars. The embroidered white wash belts so much, worn during the last of the past summer again make their ap pearance, with a new touch, perhaps, somewnere about them. Pearl buckles are more in evidence, though these were also quite a little worn, too, the past season. An, example of high col lar Is surely to be found accompany ing the blouse in sketch No. 6. which Is a ',: r. '.s''-.jJv'-".;'? v SMART WAIST OF TAFFETA.

' almost everv woman wants, whether she has it or not. some style' of evening dress as a part of her wardrobe;: : Of . course in many, small places, a really full evening gown Is rarely tf ever needed, but the societv Woman' must-have them. To manV these are thought to be absolutely use ful and necessary, and, no doubt, they have their - place.' ., Pictures so takan do not get out of date like those o' ordinary everyday style. Perhaps this is because there is so little of the real costume, that "hardly anything remains to get out of date. Be that aa H may. In the Sixtjh and last sketch of this page, we have quite an attractive evening gown. It Is simply "a one piece frock '' made princess in effect by graduated tuoks stitched about the waist Une. The. skirt is finished with a deep flounce of lace above which are ruffles of plaited silk put on with vel vet ribbon." This plaited silk draoes DAINTY FOR the bodice and consorts with band of embroidery to finish the square decol letage. Dainty puffed Sleeves are met by Ions; elbow gloves. Thls costume is made of soft white silk. Speaklns of white, too, the prospects are for a. "white" season again. '- Last year. If you remember, while white was Worn a great deal, much was said to the ef fect that it was not so popular aa jn past seasons, and yet Vogue refers to its use as follows, which - testifies to the fact that It has been In for some while: "It always la mere guessing to foretell "fashions )n advance of their' authoritative , disclosure, but It the popular trend of the winter tn wards white in Informal as well ss ceremonial dress Is of value, then It is running ho risk to prophesy a third season." We can but hope this is true, for, after all. there is nothing so sweet, fresh and simple as the all white cos tume, both for old and young. - To the matron It gives the heeded touch of freshness, while to th young only adding: a, sure if harm -ta the already sparkling; eyea and pink, cheeks, -t A "whits" season it seems to me. ther fore, , to , one to be welcomed ,bv si New YotK 'gun.' -'T' H'' "Are you taking soda baiBsr is the question : which - women are , asking " one another most' lust now.

T have been readlna this week of one great poet who was unable to carry out the great deal of his life. The man was Victor Hugo, and his ideal was marriage with a royal princess Prin cess Helena of Tecklenburg-Schwerin who, in the year of Queen Victoria's coronation, was married to the Duke of Orleans. The Btory Is poetically pathetic. Hugo first met the Princess at a fete given by Louis Philippe In honor of her com ing marriage. As soon as -she heard who he was she went to him with hand outstretched and said; "I hive been waiting for this moment, M. Hu go. You and M.
