Tips from Kathleen Kerrigan on New
York Fashions.
STRAIGHT from' New York, and with
a baker's dozen of big leather trunks"
filled to .bursting with the very latest
and smartest things In feminine ad
ornment, complete from top to toe,
tomes Kathleen . Kerrigan, the sweep
ing Juno-esque .leading lady of the
Clay Clement company, which opens
In "The New" Dominion" this after
noon at the Marquam Grand Theater,
and: hist, feminine readers, attention.
Not only does the charming actress bring
with her. this distracting array of gowns,
'hats, shoes, and dainty accessories, but
she Is good natured and obliging, and her
trunks thrown open, is at your service,
with valuable tips on what Is really being
worn, and to be worn this Spring, in gay
Gotham.
"IXm't let them tell you that kimono
sleeve story," said Miss Kerrigan, the
very first thing; "the kimono sleeve is
passing. It will still be worn some, but
it's day is really over, and the tendency
is towards the long, scant sleeve. For
to be trying to get- rid of the long glove,
and when the glove is shortened, the
sleeve must be lengthened. Yes, (and I
am ready to weep with you when I say
it), the long-sleeved shirtwaist is really
coming back and we have got to submit
to the stiffly-laundered cuffs, isn't it go
ing to be horrid?"
"Still," Miss Kerrigan supplemented,
"we should take comfort, for the lingerie
waists will still have the short sleeves,
and we can revel in the free forearm
in our evening things; but all the shirts
and shirtwaists are to tie strictly tailored,
and on the mannish plan: really they
are becoming to most of us, but what
a nuisance, to be bothered with stiff cuffs
and collars. The waist materials are to
he mostly in the fine linens and heavier
silks, such-as can be tailored nicely; the
Rajah silk will be .much used for shirts,
shirtwaists and shirtwaist suits. By the
way. have you seen any of the new coat
suits and shirtwaist suits combined, in
the Rajah materials? No? Why, Mrs.
Martin, here, has a perfectly stunning
one. Stand forth there, Rose Marie, and
pose for the lady!"
With a gentle shove and a ripple of
tiie sunny southern laughter which one
hears from the Hps of "Flora May"' in
"The New Dominion," Miss Kerrigan
thereupon pushed forward the resisting
gray-clad figure of "Rose Marie," other
wise known as Mrs. Martin, wife of the
company's manager, and picture No. 2 is
the result. The coatsuit is simply a long,
closentting tailored coat of the same ma
terial as the shirtwaist suit which is
worn underneath: the shirtwaist is se
verely plain with flat plaits, and the
skirt follows the mode in the inevitable
plaits. One of the latest novelties in
bolts, made of coins strung on silver
chains and dipping at the front was an
item of this smart, all-gray costume,
which was completed with the small
gray hat, shown in the picture, and a
twlr of smart little walking boots in
black patent leather, with gray tops and
patent leather strips at the seams.
"And right here let me say."- said Miss
Kerrigan as she- directed attention to
these same boots. "that the boots
and shoes and slippers of the com
ing .season are going to toe things of
joy and beautiful while they last. There
is no limit to the fanciful design one is
allowed (except, of course, the impossible
combinations of color which would not
appeal to good taste) and the new heels
are just the sauciest, smartest sort of
things. The pumps will be nattier than
ever, and one must have fancy hosiery to
match all one's costumes.
. Pausing for breath a moment, the vi
vacious Thespian took up the other ex
treme and spoke of veils.
"They are just about the dearest things
ever:" she declared, "dear in more ways
than one. The new advance Spring veils
are on the order of small table covers,
and almost as large; they are cut circu
lar from the finest chiffon mesh, and
are exquisitely embroidered in silks about
the edges and in patterns that run
through the center. They are worn
draped over the hat, and if desired, fall
ing loosely over the face. They are just
beautiful, so beautiful. Indeed, and so ef
fective, that it really seems a shame to
buy an expensive hat to wear underneath
them!"
Miss Kerrigan paused a moment, then
hauled forth from a- trunk- an exquisite
evening (town of silk chiffon, heavily em
broidered in roses.
"i am going to slip this on," she an
nounced, "and it will 6erve to illustrate
the one strong keynote that runs through
all the new costumes,' both for evening
nnd afternoon- wear, and even In the
tailored suits for street wear. I refer
to the empire line and high waist. Look
at this: and yhe turned about for inspec
tion. .The gown is shown in picture No. 5.
"This is simply an Illustration," said
Miss Kerrigan. "Kverythlng tends to

back, and the long, loose, sweeping lines,
only semi-fitting to the figure, from this

Miss Kerrigan, was the one shown in
No. 4. This shows what will be the
smart thing in washable, shirtwaist suits
and sailor hats. The suit is of lavender
colored mommie cloth, and while not
strictly tailored, has the flat, wide plaits
that give a similar effect, and the close
fitting, plaited skirt. Miss Kerrigan
vouches for the sailor hat shown as the
shape that will prevail, and says that the
wings and wide belt band will be char

costumf.
"And It's a nice, comfy one," concluded
the actress. "It's of a style becoming
to most every one. and when finished off
with a smart little pair of pumps and
hosiery to match the color of the frock,
it's two to one somebody looks nice going
by on the street!"

of newspapers are constantly circulating

his Majesty "has arranged" to visit the

receive a visit from Kinp Alfonso at
