Leading Fashions in the Spring
Wraps Majority of Hats
Have Little Brims.
The spring fashions, in some re
spects the most important of the year,
are now fully established, declares a
fashion correspondent in the New,
l'ork Times.
But, after all the shouting about
spring fashions, it is quieting to sea
just what are the things which have
been chosen for real and practical
wear. There must necessarily be a
great deal of surplus style, for the
women of America demand a large as-

Feature of the Spring Season.
eortment from which to make their
choice, and It Is not always possible
to state what things they will decide
permanently to adopt as their own.
The long coat Is one of the season's
best portrayals of fashion. But it is
by no means a simple affair. It is em
broidered and appliqued and tucked
and flounced In the most surprising
manner, though as far as the silhou
ette is concerned It remains severely
straight and plain in line. You will
find that there is a certain square
ness of appearance about all of the
newer coats. This effect is gained
by means of the cut and by means of
the application of the trimming. The
sleeves are put in on square lines, and
then they are almost altogether cov
ered with an all-over embroidery,
which only goes to accentuate that
blocked Idea. About the bottom of
the coat the embroidery Is again done
In straight and uncompromising lines,
and the collar, though it is severely
plain, still carries out that four-sided
idea. The result la that, with a
gracefully trimmed hat, the costume
arries with It all that air of style
which Is necessary for the appear
ance of the gowns and coats of the
present season.
These longer coats are rather more
'flressy- in their effects than they are
strictly coats. Closed they look good
enough for any outdoor wear, but when
they are thrown back and worn open
they take on the appearance of a
wrappy something that resembles a
costume of the most graceful variety
of lines. They should really be worn
with the plainest of gowns, because
they carry so much trimming that one
cannot afford to mix with their adorn
ment any that might appear on the
frock worn underneath.
Three-Piece Suit Is Smart,
The three-piece suit has everything
to recommend it for spring wear, for
it is not only about the- smartest thing
you can wear, but it has so many prac
tical qualities that it is very much to
be desired for this season of the year.
Not only does the three-piece suit
give every smart line of appearance
when it itf worn intact, but after the
coat has been removed it is still a per
fectly good costume with everything
to recommend it fur wear indoors as
well as outside. The usual plan of Its
making displays a coat and lower sec
tion of the skirt made from some
woolen material, while the bodice of
the dress and the lining of the coat
are done from some plain or printed
silk, the one matching the other. You
will find the fur collar very much In
evidence, and when it Is not to be
found, there is usually the little ani
mal with Its head and tail strung
around the throat of the wearer of the
smart little suit.
On one of these suits, with Its short
cape, the skirt Is one of those very
new ones made In three tiers and
bound with ribbon on each of the sec
tions. This dress is made of the same
material a gray cashmere cloth from
shoulder to hem. It is bound with a
darker gray tone of ribbon, and the
cape Is lined with an interesting pat
tern of gray and colored print. The
girdle of the gown then proceeds to
carry out the colors of the lining of
the cape, though It is done In hand
Rome embroidery worked with silken
threads. A band of gray and white
Mutrrel fur runs around the edges of
the standing collar and gives just that
touch of softness at the throat which
means so much to the finish of a cos
tume of this sort.
Hats in Great Variety.
Hats, of course, are the center of
spring fashion concern. The new
spring hat has something about It that
is wholly individual, and many a wom
an pays more attention to that por
tion of her attire, especially at this
season, than she does to any other.
This year everything has been done
to make the hats as alluring as pos
sibleas conspicuously beautifying as
they can be. This does not mean that
In themselves they are of any con
spicuous nature, but it does mean that
in their own little modest way they
manage to surround the faces with
that element of charm for which any
woman would drain her purse.
Most of the bats have little brims
that turn down nround the face.
There are all sorts of divergences
from this ruling, but they are only
suggestions of a turn-back portion
here and there. As a rule, the hats
are rounded in regular .lines, and when
there is any exception they become
only more rounded at certain points,
or a bit more drooping in character.
Now, every woman knows that a
drooping brim is about the most be
coming facial frame that she can man
age to adopt. She must be careful
to find the shape of droop that best
suits her style but, that having once
been accomplished, she will lastingly
be satisfied with the little or the large
hats that will send a shade over her
face.
One of the most fanciful of the
spring hats Is a veritable poke bonnet
and carries along with it much of the
quaintness of that old-fashioned charm
which was a part of the clothes of
the poke bonnet era. But the trim
ming at the back is distinctly a note
of the modern day. It must be high
in effect and It must jut out from a
turned-back brim or from no brim at
all. Most of the dresses are soft and
drooping in line.
Straws are rather more In the mi
nority than anything else. There are
taffeta hats and draped chiffon tur
bans, and hats made of satin, and
those done from all-over embroideries.
Because It is spring seems to be no
reason why the straw hat should be
universally accepted. You can wear
what you like in the way of head
covering and no one will question the
fabric that goes into its making so
long as the shaping of Its lines con
forms to a generally accepted style.
The policeman hats, those that turn
down severely over the face and have
fitted crowns, are the ones which are
receiving the greatest amount of pop
ular attention. They have an air of
smartness just now which cannot be
questioned, and they bid fair to carry
over into the summer months with the
best of fashion's expression.
Felt Hats Hold Favor.
Felt hats are to be seen everywhere
and they are Just as smart for spring
as they were all through the winter.
Their shapes have changed a trifle, but
they are eminently satisfactory for
wear with the rather more tailored
type of suit and with anything that in
any way approaches the sport style of
dressing.
Straw hats, after all, are perishable
things and they are being kept for
summer for wear in any large quanti
ties. When It comes to the broad
brimmed hat of light weight, then, of
course, straw Is the only thing to be
considered, but until the time comes

for Outer Covering. Ths Three
Tiered Skirt Is in High Favor.
for that one may wear any sort of hat
built of rny sort of material so long
as It conforms In its general character
with the prevailing mode.
Lace hats for dress occasions are
going to be worn In great numbers,
and while some of them merely show
trimmings of lace draped gracefully
about their shapes, others are made
entirely from motifs or strips of lace,
and they are trimmed with fruit and
flowers, also with ribbons In great pro
fusion. This does not mean that any
large quantity of trimming is applied
to any one hat, but It does mean that
mixtures of all these trimmings in sub
dued quantities can be applied to the
decoration of any one hat and with
the utmost of fashionable effect.
New Sleeve Feature
of Afternoon Gown
The material in. this Interesting out
fit, the feature of which is the new
sleeve, is a flat crepe of sand color, so
very popular this season printed in
blue, and the banding is of blue to
match the printed pattern.
Cotton Dresses in
Variety for Spring
Cotton dresses In the early spring
lines cover a wide range of material,
from a plain fabric in a simple semi
sports model to a frilled dotted swius
that could grace a party. Llnene,im
ported and domestic ginghams, ratine,
eponge, voiles, French and Irish linens,
dotted swlss and Swiss organdies are
made up in straight-line tailored frocks
as well as In those models that stress
a slightly bouffant line at the hips.
Color Is generously distributed. Bril
liant red, green, blue and rose are gay
in swiss organdie and voile. Cutwork
embroidery, solid designs, insertions of
embroidery in color all these are used
to trim the sheer fabrics. Figured voile
In dark colors makes a type that is not
unlike a silk foulard. Ruffles and col
lars and cuffs of fine embroidered or
gandie are the major trimming for
these.
In the linene group, allover em
broidery is an important feature.
Straight-line frocks insert a godet of
plain fabric to accentuate more strong
ly the charm of the embroidered sur
face. These types, in pale shades of
green and tan, present an interpreta
tion of tailored linen that can be used
equaly well for sports or morning
wear.
Gingham treated with plain cham
brays, In belts, collars and Inserts, is
included in the line. One gingham
dress has a bandanna collar.
Three-piece costumes In linen have
braid embroidery and attractive
blouses. One model has the blouse ruf
fled and trimmed with Paisley prints.
Artificial Silk and
Fabric Laces Shown
There is a wide scope in the patterns
of laces, as well as in colorings. Arti
ficial silk and fabric laces are being
made by one French manufacturer.
These give more the appearance of
woven fabric than of lace. They fea
ture wide border patterns in brilliant
colorings. Laces in cashmere designs
and colorings are woven so closely
that they resemble heavy silk crepe
rather than an openwork mesh.
Others, made of a combination of arti
ficial silk and wool, show a silk pat
tern standing out against a background
of dull wool. These are effectively
used for sports wear garments and are
particularly striking in white pat
terned in bright colors.
Neutral tones, such as ecru, beige,
tortoise and gray, are considered
smart, despite the fact that there is
an almost inexhaustible variety of
colors from which to choose.
Frequently lace Is combined with a
matching shade of crepe de chine.
The color note may be repeated in a
girdle made of rings of gulalith set
with Imitation jewels. A charming
model Is made from a combination of
soft brown crepe de chine and lace of
a matching shade, the silk being used
as trimmiBg in the form of tiny plait
ings and small hand-made flowers.
THE NEW HOSIERY
Pretty Colors and New Styles
Much in Evidence for the
Spring and Summer.
The promising vogue of high-colored
shoes this spring and summer brings
up the question of whether It is likely
to be accompanied by a corresponding
demand for high colors in hosiery. As
spring draws nearer the indications
of a very brilliant color season be
come more and more pronounced. We
are promised a blaze of color in mil
linery prints, embroideries and finally
in shoes. The prominence given la
colors In the displays of the smart
shoe shops is strikingly noticeable.
What will this mean to hosiery?
What color in hosiery, for example,
will a woman want to wear with red
shoes or green shoes?
One can get some Idea of the gen
eral tendency In this matter, however,
by considering the fact that bright col
ors this season are largely accessory.
In other words, they are exemplified
chfefly In millinery, embroideries and
prints. The groundwork of the cos
tumer, so to speak, will be a plain
color, and It is likely that hosiery will
be worn to match this ground color
rather than the more highly colored
accessories. For instance, one of the
costumes observed In a smart hotel re
cently was of navy poire twill with
red trimmings. Red shoes and plain
black silk hose were worn with this
costume. Another was a costume of
gray crepe with multicolored embroid
eries. Gray shoes and hose to match
were worn with It.
While it seems probable that plain
colors, such as black, tan, gray and
white, will be most favored even with
colored shoes, there is n good chance
that a high color note will be struck
in clockings. It has been generally
taken for granted that embroidered
clocks are pnsse, and that only the
open-work clock will be good this
spring. But it is just possible that the
high color vogue In shoes and trim
mings may bring the embroidered clock
back with a bang. Undoubtedly plain
hose to match the costume with bright
colored clocks to match shoes and
trimmings would be a smart note and
quite In line with the season's tenden
cies. It goes without saying that a vivid
color season such as we are going to
have this spring must have an effect
on hosiery. We have become accus
tomed to fancy color effects In sports
hose, and we may see some vogue for
similar effects In silk hose before the
season Is far advanced. The pre
dominance of brilliant prints especial
ly Is apt to create a demand for multi
colored effects in hosiery. Some nov
elties in two and three-color effects
are already on the market, and many
more are promised In the near future.

Now the sewing doll ! She looks
like a lady's brig. A dflli is dressed
In ribbons, with blouse and eversklrt

of narrow ribbon ruffles, Is padded out
with hair or cotton forming a cushion
for pins and needles. A ribbon in the
bottom of the slip hem draws the
stuffed undersllp In and holds It tight
about the doll's knees. The feet and
lower legs of the doll hang below with
pantalettes showing. From the rib
bon girdle of the dress hang a pair of
embroidery scissors, a lady's small
bag that Is a needle book, a bodkin,
and such other articles as the sewer
might desire to use. The doll bag
hangs from the wrist by ribbons which
are caught under the doll's arms.

Times have changed since 1800,
when John Eaton, Jr., was superin
tendent of schools for Tennt-ssee. In
Eaton's biennial report, published In
1869, the following excerpt appears:
"The prejudice existing in most com
munities to this class of Instructors
(women teachers) is as groundless as
it is unjust. The eight lady teachers
who have so honorably acquitted them
BOlves in our school have proven be
yond a dovibt their capacity to teach,
govern and manage the largest and
most unruly. They are not only equal
to male teachers In the exercise of the
common duties of the school room,
but far better adapted to advnnce the
class of scholars now attending free
echools."
If Is truly wonderful how many
birds will visit modest gardens during
a year. They will, during the spring
migration, be most In evidence from
early daylight till breakfast time, and
then again as evening comes on, says
the American Forestry Magazine.
When autumn approaches, the migra
tion that takes place Is equally Inter
esting. In winter we may look for
various finches, sparrows, crossbills,
hawks, owls and not a few other
species thnt come to us during that
time of the year.
