FADS AND FASHIONS
Long and short sleeves hold equal
favor.
Surplice lines are very much used tn
bodices.
Lnce frills and ruchings are used as
trimmings.
A notable feature of day dresses is
the open neck.
Plumes are assuming the shape of a
qxiestlon mark.
Rust red is a color which is being
thrust to the front.
Berries in satin and crepe de chine
are shown in clusters.
The printed silks seem to hold fa
vor for afternoon wear.
The new veilings are extremely
dainty in design and- mesh.
Many kimono models are shown for
street and house wear.
In the modern corset, the figure la
allowed full freedom and ease.
Many large hats are being worn at
smart afternoon receptions.
The Medici collar of a modled type
appears on many frocks.
Heels are .fra-nkly high, except for
the buttoned and lace boots.
Colored hip sashes are worn with
embroidered crepon lingerie dresses.
Crocheted lace in dull colors Is com
bined with brilliant embroidery.
Aigrettes and paradise plumes are
much in evidence on the new millin
ery. Contrasting coats of brocaded silk or
crepe are worn with separate skirts.
Blouses are collarless and usually
finished with broad girdles at the waist
line.
Ingenious checked and Btriped mater
ials are very fashionable for - tailored
suits.
Skirts for street wear are plain from
the knoes down, and have hell -shaped
overskirts.
When a "transparency is used for a
gulmpe and collar, it is of the most
filmy tulle or lace.
Odd yellow or geranium broche silk
bolero habit corsages are worn with
lingerie skirts.
Skirts are carefully tted and cling
closely, but leave plenty of room for
ease of movement.
The new cotton dresses, trimmed
with vividly tinted embroidery, are
particularly successful.
Field flowers and grasses and wheat
ears are combined- very charmingly on
the new hats.
Skirts are growing more scant at the
feet, and in evening gowns are slash
ed almost to the ' knees.
Moire Is a popular material for the
spring suit, in delicate tones of gray,
rose, violet and green.
Many hats have no brims at all, and
when this detail . does appear, it is
rolled or flares off the face.
Very attractive are the small color
ed silk flowers worn on the new hats
harmonizing with the ribbon used.'
Buttons are a modish trimming, and
a collection of new designs shows
some an inch and a half In diameter.
If you care to be ultra-chic, have
a small flower embroidered on the
left-rever of your white tailored suit.
Long, close-fitting sleeves are set
in at the normal armhole and finished
with wrist puffs of mousseline de sole.
There is not much to be said about
the length of coats except that the
very long models have been abandon
ed. The finely checked pink and white
gingham has reappeared. In fine cloth,
made up into morning trotteur cos
tumes. For summer there are white cotton
crepe eponge or ratine sikirts, with
coatees of quaint floral designs in
English print.
The latest fantasie in millinery Is In
the form of antennae. It may be a
straight ostrich feather, a quill or a
peacock feather.
Black stockings are often worn with
black pumps, but some very smartly
gowned women wear stockings to
match their gowns.
Many lingerie dresses are made of
embroidered crepon voile, the simple
skirt being" trimmed with a flounce
of embroidered tulle.
The lace neck ruffle, standing up
right at the back and falling softly
away from the neck at the front. Is a
favored fashion in neckwear.
A new Idea on many suits is to bind
the upper half of the buttonhole with
a band of one color, and the lower with
another harmonizing color.
A pretty hat is covered with white
crepe and trimmed with white picot
edged ribbon. The front is finished
with a small bunch of colored flowers.
The new colors in tailored suits are
Chinese, blue, Bulgarian green, wood
brown, light and dark grays, terra
cotta, rose, briok and other tones of
red.
The little coat is a great feature. It
often has bolero fronts and is more
or less coat-tailed at the back. Some
extend no more than three inches be
low the waist line.
Chic afternoon dresses and tailored
suits have draped and . half -pleated
tpnic skirts trimmed with silk sou
tache. The short boleros and coats
show embroideries.
There are dozens of cutaway styles,
from the quiet conservative two-buttoned
dip-back model to the one al
most duplicating the coat of' a man's
evening dress suit.
A pretty Russian hair ornament is
made of narrow black velvet, light
ly set with, tiny brilliants, with a
paste cabochon at one side, which
holds a black mercury wing in posi
tion. Black patent leather shoes, with
white tops, are worn with the tailor
ed suits. There are also little short
toed shoes, like slippers, in 'antelope,
ribbed silk, doeskin and thick satin.

He Minded a Little Bit.
Bans Christian -Jinderten, the gentle
fabulist, often din played the caprices
of a lovable and sisnsltlve child, -whose
floods of sunshine are followed by del
uges of rain. George Brandos, the Dan
ish critic, told this story of the soft
hearted fairy tale writer:
"Andersen was a child of the people
and never, even in his old age, did he
lose his wonderful childlike simplicity
which, If It threw tbe glamour of fairy
land over his creations, was neverthe
less not without its amusing side.
"He was peculiarly sensitive to crit
icism of any kind. One day In a cafe a
friend noticed that he was reading In
tently a spiteful criticism of his work
written by an unknown scribbler in a
newspaper of no account and said to
him:
"'Surely you don't mind -what a
newspaper like that may say about
your"
"Anderson looked up, and tbe friend
saw that tears were rolling down his
cheeks.
" Tea,' he said, hesitatingly, 1 do
mind Just a little. "
Keeping Up With Tim.
The city chap who had hired oot as
extra farm hand during the harvest
was not quite able to respond to the
4 o'clock pounding on his bedroom door
the first morning as promptly a he
had anticipated. He lingered with the
pillows for a quarter of an hour past
the appointed time and then dragged
himself out, and by half past 4 he
was stumbling across the field where
the old farmer was hard at work.
"Fine morning," said tbe newcomer
briskly.
The old fellow looked up sourely.
"Yes," he grunted; "it was." Llppln
cott's Magazine.
Beards and Battles,
Shaggy locks and patriarchal beards
have proved highly inconvenient things
on tbe battlefield. Does not history
record that Alexander ordered the
Macedonians to be shaved lest their
beards should give a handle to their
enemies? Peter the Great was also a
friend of tbe barbers, for he not only
ordered all ranks to be shaven, but
caused officers to go about to cut oft
the beards of offenders by force.
Benton Did Not Quarrel.
A senator In his speech in the senate
one day referred to "a quarrel" of
Eenton's.
"Mr. President, sir." said the Mis
sourian. sternly, "the senator is mis
taken, sir. I never quarrel, sir, but 1
sometimes fight, and whenever I fight,
sir, a funeral follows."
A Woman's Letter.
"Cholly received a lettert;bis morn
ing from Gladys Maud. He consumed
an Lour in reading it."
"Was the letter very long?"
"Not very long. He spent most of
the time looking for page 2." Binning
ham Age-Herald.
Never Again.
"This portrait doesn't resemble me
at alL"
"Pardon me. madam, but 1 once
made a portrait of a lady that re
sembled her." Fliegende Blatter.

A Tenor and His Beard.
Mario, the famous tenor, was ex
cessively proud of his fine beard. Ona
day in Russia, wherfe be bad be coin o
tbe favorite of the court, tbe Emperor
Nicholas ordered blm to sing in an
opera dealing with an episode In tho
eighteenth century and necessitating
a clean shaven face. Mario refused
to obey. The emperor became angry.
It was In vain that the empress tried
her arts of persuasion. Mario was In
flexible. "I am ready," he said, "to give my
life for your majesty, but not my
beard never!"
Nicholas would not stand any cross
ing of his will.
"Sing or go!" he said.
Without more ado Mario threw up
all his engagements, packed his trunks
and went.
Buttons and Woman's Clothes.
"Why does a woman button her gar
ments on the left side?" Tbe question
Is discussed in the London Tailor and
Cutter by several correspondents, one
f whom advances this theory: "For
ladles to have the buttonholes in the
right . side of their . garments has its
origin in tbe times when It was neces
sary for a lady when going out at night
to have a gentleman escort, who sap
ported her upon his left arm, leaving
his right or sword arm at liberty.
Thus the lady's left band would be
free to fasten or unfasten her cloak
at her own pleasure? and without in
convenience." Charles V. Liked Moohanma.
Charles V. of Spain, like Louis XVI.
of France, was particularly fond of
timepieces and bad a decided taste for
mechanics. When in Germany be in
vented a carriage for his own accom
modation, and after bis abdication he
would amuse himself In making little
puppets soldiers performing their ex
ercise, girls dancing with their tam
bourines and little wooden birds that
would fly in and out of tbe windew.
8am Houston's Retort.
General Bam Houston was a master
of stump speaking and bitter Invective.
Onc while addressing a large audi
ence be was interrupted and asked
what he thought of a certain politi
cian. Without hesitation he replied.
"He has very characteristic of a do
except fidelity."
Advantages of Kilts.
The London Tailor and Cutter ob
serves with its usual keen Insight lnti
human nature: "No odo has yet sug
gested the utility of kilts. They never
bag at tbe k"nees, nor do they evtr
require patching at that part, and tht-lr
hygienic properties are proverbial."
Fixing tho Value.
Jones So the price of that "old mus
ter" Is .?r,000. It doesn't look to bo
worth $10. Art Dealer Yes. but re
member It was painted In 12-40. .Int
think what $10 at compound Interest
wonld amount to for that length of
time! Exchange.
