fronts that are lapped onto a panel

MAY MANTONS FASHION
NOTES.
PRING seems close at hand, and
while we are having only an
occasional touch of cold to
remind us that old Winter is still at
work. Most of the days are bright
and sunny and really seem to bespjeak
spring with genuine intensity, ft will
not be long before the costumes ws
are now discussing will be in actual
demand and. while there are many
immediate needs the future in fashions
is always interesting
We have been talking a good dea'
about tha iauntv little coat* that will
s
make such an important feature and
there still remains considerable that
may be said on that score, but. perhaps,
the most immediate pressure is found
in the Russian garment in many varia
tions. We have the blouse now in use
both as a street garment and for
indoor wear and Balkan influences have
produced a long, loose blouse held by
a circular band over the hips which
is very attractive and smart and which
will unquestionably be conspicuous
throughout the season. It makes a
really ideal coat that is sufficiently
youthful In effect to find a ready wel
come and, in some of its simple varia
tions, it is well adapted to the outing
blouse. Unquestionable, the recent
disturbances have had a very strong
influence .upon spring fashions Del
signers are indeed ever on the outlook*
for some reason to develop along one
line or another. It may be a suc
cessful .play, it may be a war, it may
be any upheaval; but. if it only takes
sufficient hold upon the popular
interest, it will serve Fashion's de
mands. Just now we are having an
interesting combination. There are
Russian influences and Balkan influ
ences, and Bulgarian designs and Bul
garian colors are conspicuous, while
with really warm weather, we may
look for the dainty effects belonging
to Louis XVI. Rich blues and rich
reds are very beautiful fo? the early
season and will, unquestionably, be
used, but they are a little warm for
summer and it is natural for the lighter
and daintier effects to succeed them.
A S pretty a feature as any that
comes to mind is the use of
colored blouses or coats over
white or lighter skirts or gowns. A
very charming costume, seen today,
consists of a skirt of white French
crépie with a Russian blouse of the
material in pink embroidered in

sette and the whole effect is one of
daintiness. A most
consummate
unusual and most attractive costume
that is going to Florida this week
includes a number of advance features
The skirt is drapied at the front and
plain at the hack but made of a quite
new white broadcloth that is stripied
with black. The little coat is tiny and
loose, giving an uneven pointed effect

it only reache» the hip Une. ît Is
made of real Russian blue broadcloth
embroidered in the dark red familiar
in Bulgarian work, and there is a
waistcoat of the black and white
striped material. It is really a fasci
nating little suit and one that it prac
tical as well. An interesting costume
that also is to find its way southward
consists of a skirt of white mohair in
invisible check and a coat of navy
blue serge with collar and cuffs of
white bengaline. This coat is held by
a single button just below the butt
line at the front, from which point, it
is abruptly cut away, but it is rather
long and straight in the back. French
influences are at work in the coats as
well as others and this Napoleonic
idea is to be met in a great many new
costumes. Some of the late winter
costumes are giving evidence of the
new influences, too. while they are
made up for immediate needs. An
exceedingly beautiful visiting toilette
seen at an important reception of the
week, consists of a skirt of white cloth
with long Russian blouse of rich blue
velvet heavily embroidered and edged
with black fox. The belt that holds the
blouse in place is a softly draped one
of velvet, and. as seen, the costume
was worn with a small hat of black
velvet with a moderate sized white
aigrette rising at the front Russian
blouses are worn within doors quite as
much as upon the street, however and
are in evidence at the Opera quite as
much as upon the Avenue.
VERY beautiful costume, seen in
one of the boxes recently, was
made of silver gray brocade
mingled with mauve and pink and over
it was a Russian blouse of pink mous
seline de soie richly incrusted with
lace. This blouse was made with long
close fitting sleeves of the kimono order
and was held at the waist line by a
softly draped girdle. And. girdles, by
the way. are to be exceedingly im
portant. They and sashes are to be
extensively used and ribbon is a pro
nounced favorite for their making,
while ribbons are being offered in the
roost fascinating colors and finish.
HE thinnest kinds of materials
are being used for bodices even
if the gown itself is of heavier
material and the waists worn beneath
the r/v>ts are as thin and light as
A
T
designed for mid-summer weir. Ap
parently, we have ceased to feel tha
cold; or, at least, we wear such heavy
wraps upon the street that the blouse#
are not uncomfortable and houses are
apt to be kept warm enough to render
them comfortable within doors. Paris
has evidently set the seal of approval
upon the use of soutache for the spring.
A very beautiful gown that makes
part of a mid-winter trousseau con
sists of a velvet skirt with a bodice of
fine net richly braided with soutache,
little portions of the velvet extending
up over it at the front while, at the
back, the bodice itself forms a peplum.
A very superb gown, seen at the opera
"this week, it of raven blue velvet with
the bodice largely consisting of flesh
pink tulle over which was a corselet of
gold tissue making a really superb
effect. One of the prettiest velvet suits
seen this month with a blouse of
matching blue mousseline lined only
with the same material in white.
Everywhere one turns, there is evi
dence of the same idea. Round
and V-shaped necks are being much
worn throughout the day, too, and
apparently, we are hardening our
selves in various ways. When the
chemisette is worn it is apt to be of
exceedingly transparent material and,
for the handsomer gowns, the flesh
colored tulles and chiffons are being
much used. From Paris comes tha
suggestion of the use of flesh colored
chiffon beneath white tulle for wear
with low gowns when the conventional
low corsage is not possible, and these
thin materials are being put to a great
many interesting uses.
Y no means an unimportant
feature of the spring fashions
is to be found in the use of
vivid colors. We pre seeing a great
deal of Nell rose and a very great
