PARIS AND NEW YORK FASHIONS.
Spring Styles Have Emerged from the
i nrjruin late unansjes rew, ana
More Hubtle than Pronounced.
The Easter opening of models in
the best shops have given the stamp
of finality to the season.s styles.
It is evident the Easter girl will be
a vision of dainty femininty, for not
a "mannish" garment will be worn
by her. Her gowns will be of the
most delicate, soft, draby character,
and her hats end wraps will b
dreams of artistic beauty.
POINTS THAT ABE EMPHISIED.
The dominance of the corselet
skirt, and the increased favor in
which the bolero is held by the great
style-designers are points distinctly
emphasized in the new models. The
infinite variety of the polero, which,
like the or, is always with us,
saves it from the contempt of too
great familiarity, and it has received
additional charm by association with
the corselet skirt, the combination
forming the type of costume most
in evidence.
A PLEASING EXAMPLE.
A vogue, well indorsed, is a skirt
of striped or tucked voile or plaid in
neutral shadings, with a smart little
bolero coat of black moire, or of
moire or taffeta the shade of the
The skiits are sometimes sun
plaited, and if of plaid the material
is on the bias, the border beirg rein
forced and made to stand out nicely
by several rows of narrow velvet rib
bon in graduated widths.
SKIRT STYLES.
Skirts are very ful1 and much
trimmed, and when of soft, sheer
stuffs are either shirred or laid in
plaits at the top pressed very flat in
order to fit smoothly over the hips.
They are long all around, but train
slightly at the back. The elbow

sleeve with a small puff at the top
is the ruling. Chemisettes are worn
with most of the gowns, and tne
trimming about the shoulders is in
harmony with that of the skirt.
Walking skirts are two inches
a'xivethe ground, cut circular in
nu.t cases, and very full and llaring
at toe hem.
A NEW MATERIAL.
A material for dressy gowns that
is quite new this season is called
"chiffon de lane," a silk and wool
batiste with closer weave than voile,
but equally transparent and very
soft and draby. ' Silk voile is also
fashionable, and comes in plain,
checked, striped and embroidered
elects, A new idea is to make plain
sheer goods over silks that are strip
ed or checked. Satin foulards in
black and white effects with polka
or coin dots are again extremely pop
ular. TRIMMINGS AND ACCESSORIES.
A profusion of trimmings if found
on all raiment of a dressy nature.
Laces of two or three kinds, on one
garment, embroideries of every
known kind, laces dyed to match the
grown's color, shirring, knife-plaiting,
nun's folds, and very handsome
braids with touches of gold are lav
ishly employed; and wherever there
is an excuse for placing a trimming
button, there it Is sure to be found.
The millinery is exquisite. Hats
are small, delicate, light, airy, and
dainty being made of sheer, lacy
braids or entirely of chiffon or tulle;
the trimmings are mostly small flow
ers, osprey aigrettes of enormous size,
or soft ostrich tips. Hats for wear
with the morning suit are of straw,
simply trimmed with soft ribbon and
quills.
It is said that there is a fascina
tion in planning and scheming by
burglars; that taking great chnnct-s
becanie8 almost a passion with the
hardened burglar.
