Demarkatlon Has Been Made Between Tea Jacket and Coffee Jacket Sat in and Taffeta Used for Underskirts Dainty Lawn Dresses Great De mand for Sashes. New York. Feb. 14. It has become the custom In New York for January "wlilte sales," as they are called, to be followed by February novelties In llnsoiiL. This, It seems, Is a sort of trick of the trade of shopkeepers to stimulate trade during a season that would otherwise be dull, for there is little chance to get up now fashions between the holidays and spring. Even the few novelties that are dis played nre not authentic and the prud ent woman who can not afford to have her gowns shipped direct from Paris or London prefers to wnit until fash ions are really settled before selecting her spring frocks and hats. So that January is a good time to put on the bargain counter last sea son's styles in underwear and while the sales are going on this year's stock is being completed for exhibi tion in February. After this there is a succession of pretty things for spring and summer. The woman who follows closely the various changes wrought in the mat ter of dress discovers this year that a line of demarkatlon has been drawn, as it were, between the tea jacket and the coffee jacket. Hitherto one gar ment has served two purposes with excellent results enhanced by a beau tiful soft silk or cachmire petticoat, but all this is changed. Strictly speak ing there is no such thing as a cof fee jacket. The short empire sacque in which milady sips her morning drink is termed a coffee coat and en joys nothing of the stateliness which characterizes the tea jacket. The one Is made of plisse net or chiffon. or it may be a cutaway loosa coat of silk or sloth; the other is a regal af' fair in Louis quartorze brocade or other stately material (rimmed with lace and exquisitely embroidered. Coffee Coats. While the coffee coat and tea jacket are far tco distinctive to be clasped with lingerie, they arc so intimately associated with undergarments that they are placed on sale with them In all the shops. Invariably one finds them next to the counters on which are dlsnlaved petticoats, which by the way, are as fitting as the most approved habit sinrt. batin is used as much as taffe ta for many of the handsomest skirts and the full flare at the bottom is ob tained by the use of ruffles and flounces In an abandon of material and work that Is positively dazzling. Corset covers show many ideas that are delightful and new. Thpre is less of them than ever, but the little that remains Is the daintiest mass of linen and lace conceivable, The chief idea of the truly smart cov. er is to take up as little room as pos sible except where devices are era ployed to give a bouffant effect. The tight-fitting corset cover is the rule. though thin women vary the outline by having some fullness at the front. These are the expensive designs it is possible to find models in the mak ing of which not a piece of plain ma terial has been used. These are form ed of alternate bands of embrouiery and lace insertion, cut square-neck and having only one seam. The tops are finished with ruffles of lace through which are run delicate wasli ribbons. Flounces of Mull. The idea of having flounces of mull buttoned to petticoats of taffeta or satin is not new, but this year it has been elaborated upon by the addition of handsomer buttons. In many in stances these buttons are of silk and add much to the beauty of the petti coat, while increasing the cost but slightly. They are not to be removed with the flounce when the latter is laundered, although it is necessary to have them cleaned once or twice during the season. The most elaborate thing yet seen in the line of a petticoat also serves as a lining for a pale blue mousseline gown and Is Itself built upon a foun dation of silk. It is formed of alter nate strips of pale blue satin ribbon about two inches wide and heavy white lace. It fits closely around the hips and beneath the flaring flounce and the silk foundation, there Is a graduated ruffle of sun-plaited chif fon with a lace designe Into the low er edge. Motifs of lace dotted over with chif fon roses are very effective set in above the hem of the dress skirt and forming a bertha around the shoul ders, with a scarf of chiffon rarripd around underneath and tied in front. Dainty Lawns. The dainty lawns through which much of this pretty lingerie will be seen are being made Into dresses of indescrlbablo simplicity and charm. In most instances they are trimmed with tucks and ruffles. One especially chic model has a triple skirt, which is formed in three flounces, the top one in vertical tucks over the hips and all the edges finished with a band of lace embroidered In pink medallions rnd edged with a narrow black velvet ribbon. The blouse shows a very pretty ST. r,38f). The Children Enjoy Life out of doors and out of the games which they play and the enjoyment which they receive and the efforts which they make, comes the greater part of that healthful development which is so essential to their happiness when grown. When a laxative is needed the remedy which is given to them to cleanse and sweeten and strengthen the internal organs on which it acts, should be such as physicians would sanction, because its component parts are known to be wholesome and the remedy itself free from every objectionable quality. The one remedy which physicians and parents, well-informed, approve and recommend and which the little ones enjoy, because of its pleasant flavor, its gentle action and its beneficial effects, is Syrup of Tigs and for the same reason it is the only laxative which should be used by fathers and mothers. Syrup of Figs is the only remedy which acts gently, pleasantly and naturally without griping, irritating, or nauseating and which cleanses the system effectually, without producing that constipated habit which results from the use of the old time cathartics and modern imitations, and against which the children should be so carefully guarded. If you would have them grow to manhood and womanhood, stronir, healthy and happy, do not give them medicines, when medicines are not needed, and when nature needs assistance in the way of a laxative, give them only the simple, pleasant and gentle Syrup of Figs. Its quality is due not only to the excellence of the combination of the laxative principles of plants with pleasant aromatic syrups and juices, but also to our original method of manufacture and as you value the health of the little ones, do not accept any of the substitutes which unscrupulous dealers sometimes offer to increase their profits. Please to remember, the full name of the Company CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP CO. is printed on the front of every package. In order to get its beneficial effects it is always neces sary to buy the genuine only. For sale by all re- liable druggists. V V ' .- ft..

There will be a great demand for ' sashes during the spring and sum mer. Already two or three novel ideas of arrangements have been seen. The prettiest of these is shown in an afternoon gown of cream col ored granite albatross. The skirt is laid In small tucks all around the figure and finished at the hem with French knots. Around the hips there is a yoke of louisine appliqued with rich ecru lace anu the lace is con tinued down the front seam in origi nal design The boride also has a yoke of Iace-appllqued louisine and Is confined at the belt beneath a sash of chiqffon which instead of being tied in a simple bow at the back, is ele vated above the belt almost midway the back and drawn through two rings of mother-of-pearl. Then the ends are tied in a loose knot and allowed to fall almost to the hem of tho skirt, vhen they are tied again and allowed to fall to the edge of- the train. New' Hat Designs. Each week brings new hat designs. Flower effects are to bo worn more than ever. A sweet little design for the woman who likes red Is formed of plaited bands of dark red chiffon with a brim and crown of roses is shaded crimson and old roses and a bit of soft pink, Violets which have been worn very little all winter, have come back to , enjoy their share of favor as a spring flower. One of the prettiest combi nations of the season is shown in a hat of grey chiffon trimmed with ' violets and green leaves. Milliners are taking the greatest liberty In tinting these flowers, for one can find. Just as pietty pink and yellow violets as white and purple ones. But then they are pietty and why should there be any complaint? , moves witn spun lace tops anu tops embroidered in scallops are new and pretty for spring wear, Many pairs show delicate open designs run ning round the arm as far as the wrist. These come In all shades and I lengths and will bo worn during the afternoon as well as in the evening Probably tho newest addition to thin materials is silk dotted suise. This is exceptionally wide and equal ly as expensive, costing something like three dollars a yard. However, it is very stunning trimmed with rib bon, chiffon and lace. MAUDE GRIFFIN a reputation second to none In the amusement world.
