Signs of Spring. —No doubt, • by the 
time this is in print we shall have the 
usual ice and snow of a New York Win¬ 
ter, but shop windows are full of Sum¬ 
mer hats, and every store of any prom¬ 
inence is selling Winter garments at 
amazing reductions. The long period of 
mild open weather has affected retail 
sales materially, and Spring and Sum¬ 
mer goods are on display. Many Spring 
hats shown so far are brown, and while 
the shapes continue to hold to the small 
cloche models we are told that wide hats 
are to be featured later. The early hats 
again show silk combined with fine straw 
braid. We see a good many close silk 
turbans worn. The very high collars on 
all the Winter wraps are very much in 
the way of a hat brim at th'e back, and 
for this season the small toques or poke 
Three-piece Suit and Ribbon Trimming 
shapes with brim at front and sides 
only are the leading vogue. 
A “Three-piece” Suit. —In the first 
picture, the figure at the left shows a so- 
called “three-piece” suit for southern 
wear. It consists of a dress and waist in 
one, over which is worn a short jacket 
of the bolero type. This suit was made 
of white silk alpaca trimmed with black; 
another of the same model was black 
with white trimming, and the same idea 
would be very attractive in brown 
trimmed with almond color, or navy 
blue and sand. The dress was made all 
in one piece, almost princess except for 
its straight lines, with a yoke and short 
sleeves of the contrasting color. A nar¬ 
row panel of the contrasting color was 
set in at the left side of the skirt, up to 
the hip line, the narrow tied girdle be¬ 
ing of the same color as the dress. The 
little jacket had novel sleeves, the outer 
bell sleeve being slashed all the way up, 
to show full undersleeves of the contrast¬ 
ing color, which were gathered into nar¬ 
row bands. The bateau neck had a nar¬ 
row stand-up collar with a fold below, 
and was tied with narrow black ribbon, 
which ran through heavy silk buttonhol¬ 
ing around the neck. The jacket was 
open at the front, where there was a 
panel of the contrasting silk at each side, 
which sloped to a narrower width at the 
top; a fold of the white material went 
down this panel at each side. The hat 
shown was of white silk with a black and 
white ruche. These smart little suits of 
light material, shown so early in the 
year for southern tourists, give us new 
ideas in time for preparing a Summer 
wardrobe. 
A Pretty Ribbon Trimming. — The 
figure at the right displays a simple one- 
piece dress made novel by its trimming. 
The idea is so pretty, and so easily 
copied that it will suggest itself as a 
very attractive trimming for children’s 
clothes as well as for adults. The dress 
shown was white flannel, and the trim¬ 
ming was vertical bands of black satin 
ribbon on skirt and waist and also edg¬ 
ing sleeves. This ribbon was put on 
with blanket stitch of heavy black silk. 
The stitches were alternately long and 
short, and gave the effect of a spaced 
fringe on each side of the ribbon. This 
trimming can be put on very quickly, 
and is certainly effective. The vertical 
bands would be very becoming to a short 
or plump person, adding length of line. 
The hat shown was silk with heavy em¬ 
broidery in front. 
Contrasted Material. — The. second 
picture shows at the left a skirt and 
waist combination. It was a skirt of 
dark blue twill with a waist of sand- 
colored heavy silk, trimmed with the 
twill. The waist was a plain slip-on 
style, having a band of the blue down the 
outside of the long flowing sleeves, and 
a circular band around the neck. There 
was a band of the twill on the silk 
girdle -also. Such a combination waist 
turns a simple coat and skirt into a 
three-piece suit, and also may turn a 
separate skirt into a dress. It gives 
quite an idea for making a new dress 
out of old ones. 
Flowered Cotton. —The pretty frock 
in the center will be very attractive for 
Summer wear ; the model seen was flow¬ 
ered organdie, but it would be suitable 
for voile or any other thin Summer fabric 
or for the Pompadour silk now return¬ 
ing to favor. The waist had a plain 
square neck, and short sleeves finished 
with a deep frill, while the plain skirt 
bad a two-tiered tunic. The upper tier 
was a flounce that went all around the 
waist; the next tier went around the back 
and sides only. This makes a very at¬ 
tractive skirt with a touch of novelty. 
The waist was finished with two nar¬ 
row ribbon bands, which formed a girdle, 
and extended for a short space up the 
left side. The model was flowered iu 
soft apricot shades, the ribbon being 
Chinese blue. The hat was of w'hite 
Bangkok straw, faced and trimmed with 
apricot silk. 
A Pleated Coat. —The child’s coat 
shown was of mouse-colored cloth, and 
was very quaint and pretty. It had a 
short kimono yoke, to which was at¬ 
tached a pleated skirt. The tops of the 
sleeves were formed by the yoke, while 
below this were full pleated portions 
gathered into narrow cuffs. The coat 
buttoned across with odd strap-like ex¬ 
tensions, rounded at the ends, and bound 
with velvet, while there was a little cord 
of velvet at the seams where the pleating 
was attached. This coat was very quaint 
and pretty, and not difficut to put to¬ 
gether. 
iSeen in the Shops. —French flannel 
is very fashionable for dresses and sepa¬ 
rate skirts. The very smart dresses of 
this material are straight and slim, sim¬ 
ply made. The flannel may be obtained 
in solid colors, checks, plaids and stripes. 
Some of them are vivid Roman stripes 
on a neutral background. 
Heavy cotton crepe embroidered all 
over in striking designs from the Belgian 
Congo is to be made into jacquettes or 
coats for Summer wear. 
Embroidered linens are to be a popular 
material the coming season, all over ef¬ 
fects in solid ami also eyelet "work. Many 
are white embroidered in colors. 
Three-quarter length knitted coats with 
clipped yarn collars 1 are designed for 
southern -wear, costing from $45 up. 
Sport frocks of striped flannel are very 
fashionable for the South, and such a 
dress will be practical for country wear. 
The leading styles have brilliantly col¬ 
ored stripes, and are without trimming. 
They are very straight and narrow, with 
short sleeves and bateau neck, and often 
have a skirt with the stripes horizontal, 
while they are vertical on the waist. A 
Skirt and W aist. Flowered Organdie and 
A Pleated Coat 
patent leather belt often finishes such a 
dress. 
Black alpaca is hailed as a fashionable 
material for Spring wear, being sponsored 
by Paris. It appears in simply made 
gowns with white vests. Black satin is 
used in the same way, and we are told 
that lustrous black is to be high in favor. 
We had come to regard black alpaca as 
rather mortified in appearance, suitable 
for frugal women of uncertain age. but 
Paris now takes a different view. It is 
a fabric of many virtues, being light, 
durable, and dust resisting, and is cer¬ 
tainly smart-looking when well made, 
with vest and collar of fine lace and 
batiste. 
Some very pretty new blouses of crepe 
de chine have pleated or shirred “bosoms” 
like an old-fashioned shirt, set in with 
cordings. 
Twill flannel, 27 in. wide, was noted 
for $1.35 a yard, in a great variety of 
solid colors. This is popular for dresses, 
suits, skirts and light-weight coats.
