I WEEKLY FASHION LETTER.
. . . 1 1 1 I 1 1 1 1 1.1. 1 1.1 1 1 1 111 1
New York, March 7. Years ago,
when grandmother was young. It was
considered an Imposition on the
weather to doll wraps and wear straw
hats In March. But things have
changed, and although this Is only
the first week of tho first spring
month, it is Impossible to sec a wo
man of fashion wearing a cloth hat
of any kind. The winter coat also has
been laid aside nnd Its place usurped
by a smart Httlo Jacket of hlouso
which accompanies the spring tailor
made suit.
A sartdrial luxury which Is becom
ing more and more necessary Is tho
extra skirt for tho tailor Milt. This
is a sort' of emergency affair, reserved
for rainy days or occasions on which
tho walking skirt would be more
apropos. The principal skirt, how
ever. Is designed to meet all require
ments of a beautiful day, with deml
train and decoration in proportion.
Chpvlots, zlbellnes and tweeds find
expression In somo very stunning
gowns. A design In dark brown zebo
llne lightly flecked with white and
emerald green and' here nrcd there a
touch of copper is especially attrac
tive. Tho skirt has a graduated
flounce of box plaits and the fitting
coat bodice is made with a basque,
the neck for there Is no collar out
lined with Beauvnls embroidery, tip
ped with silk dangles to match the
facings of the fronts and over the
shoulders are epaulettes of a new tint
ed lace.
Lace, by the way, grows coarser
and heavier with each new design
There Is no harm In saying that the
latest novelties look like twine, which
has been knitted with largo needles
In fantastic pattern and finished witn
long knotted fringe, for one has only
to prise them to seo that there is
nothing cheap about them at all. The
prices vary anywhere from $2.98 to
$10 a yard and they have not the ad'
vantage of the appliques, which can
bo taken apart, as it were, and ar
ranged over a skirt or bodice to suit
the Individual taste.
At tho dressmakers' convention
which is now in session, It is a prob
lem to tell the gowns on exhibition
from those worn by the exhibitors or
rather It would be Impossible, except
for the animation of the competitors,
One smart little woman, whose
gowns have attracted attention from
the beginning, appeared at the open
lng session In a suit of blue and white
fancifully checked tweed, the skirt
fitting by means of crosswise tucks
and tapering down from the waist and
upward from the hem are graduated
darts of old' blue velvet, terminating
in small discs. The blue Is a moil 1 11
cation of the Mousquetaire blue with
a 'tint that Dumas would probably de
scribe as that of the dregs lot old
wine. The short coat bodice is inlet
with velvet to match and the fronts
lined with white, are embroidered In
gold and blue and bordered with
pretty blue and green spotted ribbon
Frogs, tassels and all sorts of dan
gles are used upon gowns for both
street and house wear. And, strange
to say, despite the elaborate use of
heavy silk cords on bodices, there is
nothing of a masculine or military
appearance about these designs
Wherever there Is the slightest tend
ency toward masculinity, jt is Imme
diately softened by a touch of chif
fon or lace, or both, if the case re
quires It.
A pretty princess gown of putty
colored ladles' cloth has a bolero
composed of silk guipure, very short
and fastening at the side, for it is
continued in the front in a long panel
which widens out toward the hem of
the skirt and suggests something en
tlrely novel and original. The yoke
Is of ivory lace over chiffon and has
a chou of putty colored panne on one
side of it. Princess effects are al
ways pretty If worn by tall, svelte
figures, but the trouble Is that people
with wrong figures Invariably go in
for these things first and consequent
ly create quite an unjust feeling
against them ,and prejudice spreads.
When well worn, however, nothing Is
more graceful and there Is no doubt
that many will be seen during the
spring.
Everything seems to point to tho
fact that the soft llly-Ieaf shades
which were worn so much as a trim
mlng last year and proved so effective
when employed In conjunction with
ivory cloth gowns, will be- seen again
In the same relation, and as they are
the ne plus ultra for supplementary
adornment ot this kind it is very
good wearing, while Brandenburgs,
paropillcs and all such fashionable ac
cessories promise to follow us through
the' spring and summer.
It looks as if the leather belt would
not be in such great demand this sea
son. Tailor-made gowns that have
any belts at all have them made, of
.the same material as the gown or In
silk or panne of the .same shade.
Tho objection raised against the
leather belt Is that it can not be em
broidered and otherwise adorned like
the cloth glrdlo and for this reason
does not meet the requirements of
dame fashion. While this Is true of
most leathers, it Is not so with suede,
for surely there is nothing more fash
ionable than this, though Jt is al
ways expensive.
Belts and stock Xhat correspond are
pretty and new. If the collar is of
clerical design the belt carries out
the same idea with tbo exception that
the tabs hang down the back. There
are styles in which this scheme is re
versed, but there is always the simi
larity between stock and belt.
Ribbons which hold a leading place
among the details, of dress are by no
means the lightest of the expenses of
a; woman's wardrobe, An ample sup
ply of light shades of taffeta, Jxmls-
ipe, .liberty, gauze and raolre ribbons
are on exhibition for the delnccation
of .the well-dressed girl. Keeping rib
bons in such a vvay tuut they aio in

HfWomen may write about their ills to Mrs. Pinkham, and avoid the HP
Women may write about their ills to Mrs. Pinkham, and avoid the)
- questioning of a male physician. They can tell their story without
reservation to her ; she never breaks a confidence, and her advice is the best
in the world.
The questions asked of a woman by a male physician are embarrassing,
and often revolting to a sensitive nature. In consequence the whole truth is
not told ; this makes it difficult for female troubles to be successfully treated
eVen by the best physicians, and is the reason so many women grow worse
rather than better. A woman understands a woman better than a man,
there are symptoms which sick women have that a man cannot understand,
simply because he is a man, but the whole truth may be told to Mrs. Pinkham,
and her vast experience enables her to give advice which leads to a cure.
All women who suffer should secure Mrs. Pinkham's advice; it costs
nothing but a letter addressed to her at Lynn, Mass. Female troubles are real
troubles, and must be treated understandingly. For a quarter of a century
Mrs. Pinkham's advice and Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound have been
helping women to get strong and well, and her great file of letters prove that
more than a million women have been restored to health and strength by her
advice and her medicine when all other means have failed. ;
When you go to a druggist for Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound,
do not let him persuade you to try something which he says is just as good
there is nothing just as good, because Mrs. Pinkham's medicine holds the record
for the largest number of cures of any female medicine in the world. M
