OFFERINGS OF SPRiNG

If there is really one woman who
has a dollar left after the holidays now
Is the time she can make It do the
work of five Every store is nearly
giving away unsold articles to make
place for the new And the new is all
white with much lace and fine sew
ing Bargain counters hold remnants
of excellent goods and a wise buyer
can find broadcloth silks and many
other standard gocds which are in the
way and as fashions in this line
change so very little it pays to buy
them A few wise virgins save their
money for just such opportunities
They make smoking caps out of their I
fathers and brothers old clothes with I
the addition of a little gold braid and
a few stitches of embroidery or make
a denim sofa cushion with the reci
pients initials embroidered upon it
for Christmas presents and then save
their cash for after holiday sales And
these sales string along quite to Feb
ruary Dut let us speak of the dainty
new wash and white dress goods
The white list Is large The different
designs and apparently different mate
rials all woven from cotton leave noth
ing to be desired There are batistes
in so great a variety that it would be
profitlcrs to attempt to give them all
in detail but I can say that there are
stripes checks and embroidered fan
cies all white In addition to the fan
cy Swisses there are also madras de
signs French piques and muslins both
crisp and soft
The ancient dotted swiss is shown
in great varietythat is in the size cf
the dots These vary from pin head to
those the eze of a nickel There arE
also designs of tiny sprays of flowers
in natural colors and these are in
wash silk so that the gown may be
laundered indefinitely Some others
have neat floral designs in a whit
ground while there are piques with al
most the same floral figures Pique is
one of the standard cotton good but
it is hard and does not feel delicate
while It takes soil even sooner then
the thinner materials And pique is
harder to launder than thinner goods
French linens which are about one I
half linen and the rest cotton are em
broidered by machine Batistes are
arcI
always dainty and this seasons out I
put shows the most delicate of de
siTus reminding one of the sprigged
J muslin of our greatgran mothers
days Then there is voile in cotton
somehow manipulated so that it looks
like the finest wool voile and other
cotton voiles which are mercerized so
that they look like silk Zephyrs there I
are in every conceivable color and tint
and many mixtures of silk and sea is I
land cotton striped and some in jac I
VERY PRETTY HOME FROCKS

guard and Persian effects Some of
these have borders woven along to be I
developed into directoire gowns for
street wear later in the season Many
of the designs cannot be distinguished
from real silk in foulard effect
Any amount of new things are ex
hibited for early spring among thin
being the silk and cotton pongee This
Is produced thirtysix inches wide in
dots on pretty ground and in plain cili
ors Another half and half material
is shantung anglaise which is very
rich and lustrous and is often in all
the new shades with self stripes
These are satiny in effect
A decided movement is In having the
house dresses as simple as possible
In the illustration will be found one
frock of foulard In a rich woody
brown with white figures It Is devel
oped in much the style of what we
used to call the French waist and is
remarkable for its simplicity The
other is an afternoon gown of white
swiss demitrain and of a seniidirec
toire style There is a bertha cape of
the muslin trimmed with rows of va
lenciennes insertion A sash of pink
ribbon Is carried once and a half I
around the waist and knotted at the 1
hip These sashes are very pretty
I am told on the highest authority
that the day for the big hat has begun
to decline We may have for a few I
weeks yet the styles of winter but
with the advent of early spring nowI
rot so very far away we shall see a
treat indifference The same authority
i
told me that he thought the natural
acaction would bring us to extremely
small hats As It is we see or dont
see according to how we are dontI
vherever women congregate What
would women do if men wore such
monstrosities as have been the fashion
this winter One or two houses are
showing Immense stiffened hoods sup
posedly for evening These are the ex
Act prototypes of the very ancient
calashes of olden times And as
they crush the hair down ItIs n ques
lion as to their general adoption They j
ire made of thin silk and some arc
garnished with lace and ribbon

Three Royal Toasts
The GrevilJe Memoirs tells this
story of King William IV of England
and the Duke of Cumberland his
brother During dinner loud voices
were heard which soon became more
vehement Both brothers had drunk
mere than usual and the duke had
lost his temper and his head Then
for the first time King William sus
pected the idea which from that time
was never cut cf bake Ernests mind
that he ought to be the next king of
ErfIaud should no male children sur
vive his brother William IV The
duke rising said Call in the suit I
I am rruposLrvsr a toast The kings
ki1gsI
came In avid drank it Then the duke
said May r also sir propose the next
toast Name it your grace replied
the king The kings heir proudly
said the duke and God bless him
A dead silence followed Then the
king collecting all his energies and
wits stood up aril called out The
Ilnrfs heir G < < Lies her Then
I throwing the gl s over his shoulder
he turned to his lirorlwr and exclaimed
My crown came wili a lass and my
crown will go to si hiss Every one
noticed thatthe duke did not drink the
toast He left tUy room abruptly

I passed last summer I was pleased
I
with the face of my waiter It was
radiant with kindliness and good na

and fish As the waiter set them in

of fashionable appearance who were

was crdenlr struck with the fear that

Why does he esteem his horse be

resolutely faced the task of finding out
Her first answer was The horse
will carry a heavier load
Her next The horse doesnt talk

But neither of these somehow im
pressed her as being correct
