serge. 
P.LX'E Serge.^ —The dress at the left, in 
the first ligure. is the ever useful blue 
.serge, shown in a stylish Spring model 
for Southern wear. The slim, straight 
silhouette is characteristic of the new 
iiukIoIs. The narrow skirt has a panel 
of ideiits at both back and front; over 
each hip is a miiiare Hap having in the 
center a slot pocket opening bound with 
dull green silk. The bodice is a little 
square-cornered bolero of the 
ished with machine stitching 
at the edge. The long tight 
sleeves were faced witli green 
silk, this contrasting lining 
showing in the odd little loop 
extending from the .sleeve, 
hut cut in one with it. about 
half way between wrist and 
elbow. A lii’oad s:isli of the 
serge foriiK'd a corselet un¬ 
der the bolero. This girdle 
was (‘iiihroidered in wool, 
the pattern being blocks out¬ 
lined in- light gray, each 
block having a little design 
in soft green, two patterns 
being re|»eated alternately. 
T'liis girdle was looped tiver 
at the hack, having plain 
sash ends of the .serge hound 
witli green silk. The little 
square climnisette tilling the 
front was of tucked white 
organdie bound with green 
silk, wliile th(> round double 
collar was of organdie hound 
with tlie silk. The little hat 
worn is of dark hkie satin 
trimmed with a narrow sil¬ 
ver rihhon. The other figure, 
at the right in the saiiii' pic¬ 
ture. is another very smart 
model ill hliie serge. The 
jilain wtiist folds across in 
siii’iilice fashion, but instead 
of tin* ('lids of folds reaching 
to the hack, they are iileated 
in at the iimler-arm .seam. 
’where :i row of black satin 
buttons at each side extend¬ 
ed from iinder the arm down 
onto till' skirt. A di'cii col¬ 
lar, of a .shape now very 
popiilai’. and ;i lit le V filling 
in file center, lioth of white 
organdie, finished the wtiist. 
The plain two-jiiece .skirt 
was so cut as to extend in a panel curv¬ 
ing at the lower edge. Iieneath the row of 
buttons. A sash-like ]ianel hung below 
at e.’icli side; this was of the serge, em¬ 
broidered in wool in black, white and old 
rose, the patti'ni being an Alaskan Indian 
di'sign. The bottom of the loose ininel 
was edgi'd with bl.ick .silk fringe. 'J'his 
was a very simple and iiractical dress, 
the embroidered iianels giving it origin¬ 
ality. 
Flowered Foi-lakd. —The silk coun¬ 
ters display many flowered and figiiri'd 
foulards, and this msefnl material is evi¬ 
dently to be much worn. The figure at 
the left in the group of three shows a 
grayisli taupe foulard having :i floral de¬ 
sign of old rose and black. Tlii' w:iist 
was a plain surplice model having the 
ends of tlie crossi'tl fronts brought around 
to the hack and tied in a butterfly bow. 
The only trimming of the waist was the 
the group of three shows a dress of smok<' 
gray chiffon, a mati'i’ial now returning 
to favor in place of (Jeorgette creiM'. The 
plain -imrrow skirt had a long gathered 
Uinie ojien for a sjiace in front. Dotli 
skirt and tunic had at the bottom a hand 
of three little tucks. The plain wtilst 
had long sleeves with a frill at the wrist: 
a V in the front of waist was tilled in 
with tucked chiffon, and there was ;i 
frilled collar 
material. 
Foulard and Chiffon, and a Velvet Jacket 
cuffs of 
frills of 
plain in 
drapery 
bustle effect. The upper 
a straight gathered pepliim 
round collar and deep turnhaek 
dotted Swiss trimmed with little 
Mechlin lace. The skirt was 
front, the hack having double 
that gave a 
drapery was 
12 or 14 inches deep, extending around 
the liaek and sides of the skirt. Below 
this was another gathered drapery, shal¬ 
low at the back, but sloping down at the 
.sides .so as to fall in points to the edge of 
the skirt. This was a (inaint old-fa.sh- 
ioned gown with a suggestion of the eigh¬ 
teenth century, but very pretty and be¬ 
coming. 
r,T{\Y OnTFi'ON.— The center figure in 
Two New Models in Blue Serge 
collar ami the frills at the wrist were 
bordered with fine tucks. Tlie dress was 
trimmed with picot-edged ribbon, bright 
blue, with ii pattern of pink roselnnls; 
this was run through slots in .-i etising 
of the material to Hnish belt, cuffs and 
heading of the collar, and tins touch of 
color was most attractive. 
A Si,EEVELK.ss Jal’KKT. —Tlio figure at 
the right shows a new style that has hei'ii 
adoiiled for wi'ar at thi* Sonthi'rn resorts; 
we think it will he piqnilar (hiring the 
coming Summer, whi'ii an extra wrap is 
needed. It is a s'traight semi-fitting jack¬ 
et of velvet, without slei'ves. made with 
large armhob's. so that it slips very <’om- 
fortalily over a dress. It lias no colhir. 
the dress collar la'ing worn over it. Tin' 
jticket figured was lilack velvet lir.-iided 
in silver on belt and pockets, and lim'd 
with white. Worn ovi'r a thin dif'ss it 
is very smart, and is also a comfort- 
ahh' gariiK'iit in tlu' <'xtr;i 
warmth it iiroviih's. Similai’ 
jacki'ts, or “tri'iich vests," 
are nimh' of ji'rsi'y cloth or 
tricotin. 
Fahric.s and Colors.- - 
Chiffon is coming into favor 
again, taking the place of 
the vi'i-y iiopular Ceorgette 
crejie. Foulards appear 
among the silks for Soiitheni 
wear, and will no doubt he 
popular next Summer. The 
ever-po|)iilar navy hhie with 
white (b'sigiis is s('eu in .som»' 
model (lress(‘s from abroad. 
Anotlii'r .Summer material 
nsi'd ill till' smartest dri'ssi's 
for th(' South is silk giiiglmm. 
Dimity is also appearing, the 
.same dainty old-fashiom'<l 
fabric that has l>e('ii dis¬ 
placed. the pa.st few sea.soiis. 
liy cotton voile. The reiinest 
that women use less wool in 
their garments is followed in 
the prevailing styles of a 
rather .scant foundation of 
woolen material with flowing 
over-draperies, of chiffon or 
other tra'iisiiarent fabric, 
liich tones of blue and rose 
of the Chinese type are 
among the brighter colors, 
but a great deal of gray and 
taniie is seen. 
Millinery. —Just as soon as the 
Christmas goods are set aside straw hats 
appear to tempt New Yod-ker.s going 
South, and the city shops were displaying 
them at a time of zero temperatun'. Some 
are made of a straw braid that looks 
much like chenille. Cocoamit straw is 
another new material, usually trimiiu'd 
with flowers. Wreaths used for such hats 
have worsted flowers with cut velvet 
leaves. ‘‘Soda straw” is another novelty ; 
it looks like the straws used for drinking 
.so(la water. It is much list'd, for small 
toques. Fancy pins with large elaborate 
heads are ofti'ii list'd to trim small hats. 
Chenille is still in vogue as trimming.
