As a natter of fact, spring' fabrics are beginning to make their appear- ance in anticipation of the Southern sedson, Nowably among these are new satinelined cloths of soft, pliable texfyre that are delightful to" make. Tailored suits for spring wear are totale on very much the same lines that have characterized the suits for winter and mid-winter, Very plain effects are to be adopted, Dut the materials 10\be used are very elegant. Brocade velonrs and other rich fab- rics ave ta be replaced by eloths that are note the less expensive, for in many iistances they are patterned with flo wers, slightly raised and out lined wirh metal threads. There are very handsome tailored developed alt in one material two materials, the skirt being d and the coat of pln cloth, ice versa.

Over such skirts a jacket of almost ay shape may be worn, the cuta 'and Russian blouse models being es pecially called ior just now. There i$ cer to he a great demand separate collars and cuffs, because s0 many of the new coats are plain, especially those designed for street wear. Some fancier coats are closer lines than the jackets that have the latest models, but they 'are reigned for the past season. Blues are beginning to tike a more prominent place among the fashion- able colors. Prabably it is bec they are being selected for frocks for Aiken, Palm Beach, Miami, ete. The newest tones are very cheerful in ef féct, Wedgewood blue is always pop- ular and although it is used now prin- cipally for evening wraps, it will be in demand later for tailored costumes and for semi-tailored dresses in silk and linen. \ Certainly it is a season of rich ma- tertals, and richer trimmings. The dress that is made from goods that costs $5 is nothing unusual, and there are many of the velours that run as high as $25 a yard. The metal gauzes are simply prohibitive for any except a 'woman of unlimited means. These gauzes make delightful wraps how- ever. But they are not sufficient in themselves in spite of their fichly decorative effect for they are so sheer that a lining is required and a trim- ning of fur added to afford the neces- sary comfort. A number of smart frocks are made of black, dark brown and other som- among on calisthienic director, is, hideously out of style. One must slouch--or. in more poetic language--droop--to be in fashion. And the droopier the atti- tude, the limper and more boneless one can become, the starter one looks. 'The modish droop is called in Gotham the "debutante slouch," and is achieved by relaxing all the mus- €dsy to manage and ° cles, bending the knees, one more than the other; letting one shoulder sag aid ead loll. In fact the entire movement of the body in walking is me of extreme laziness. me of the Parisian dressmakers contending for the return' of the 1stle, and the continuance the 1 Nip effects 'seems to indicate a cree of uncertainty in this matter. The bustle is a mode of such hideous memory that many leaders of fashion rise in revolt at the very mention of the name. The coutourieres that cling to draper effects are sailing on™ s of sweet content, for whatever the changes bring, it is certain that drap- cries are here to stay for some time Smart women are loath to give up collarless blouses. just because the weatlier is growing colder. Heavy coats make an ugly line against bare necks. Fur soils the skan, and doubt- less contact with the skin is not 'good for the furs. There are some very good net and lace ruffs and collars that an be put about the neck under the coat and also under the fur callar 10 protect both the fur and the skin. the 1} of "One of these is a modification of the little gold-tasseled folded band of net worn last year to protect the coat collar. It is, in fact, the same®sort of folded net, ended at each side with a gold tassel.

Fur tfimmings have appeared everywhere 'And on every- thing, but" the entire wrap has been a useless garment so far. Whatever there may be in store inthe way of cold weather can not bring forth much to offset the vogue that has been gain- ed for fur cloths and furstrimmed ma- terials, Long coats of tiger skin, seal plush, moleskin cloth; etc, are exceedingly smart and many a woman adopts these new models who can afford the real pelts, just because they are so handsome and wear so well : They have exactly the same effect as the real furs and there is the advantage of not suffering such great loss when they are cut up and made over into other garments with the changing seasons, Y : The best thing that the woman of average means can hope to do in the way of peltry is to buy a good fur cloth or. a 'clever imitation of an ex- 'pensive variety d fac often pays the water pric he she r It 1s a sa ng t © 5415 5367-5360 told that it y of the fur i of discernment nerchasit who said he had made a fortline selling antiques.

Ong te husiness w ~ PLAYING THE said of a and Her Purchases Many a woman who knows nothing of bulls and bearsi-- puts and calls, margins and collateral, is playing the market thiswscason. But her opera- tions are confined to the vegetable and meat market and her manipula- tions are limited to the small house- hald account which she must accono- date to the increased cost of living, at the same time keeping her table up to the required standard. The woman who can make a dollar bring full one hundred cents' worth, is as valuable to her Home -as is the general man- agre of a big corporation. She finds it necessary, fiowever, to pass by the cgular dealer, especially if he keeps store'. con one of the "'f¥shionable thorbughfires, where high rents are to be included in the price Hf his meats am provisions 1t is also argued, though, that these very shops "fare sometimes cheapest because their immense business trans- ous make le for them to larger quantities at more ad- eous prices.

Often it is worth while to visit little side-street markets and even push-carts. Purchases sometimes are made at these carts that will really as- tonish one. - Fruits and vegetables fre- quently considered a luxury by the spender of a "middle class" income 'are often sold for a few penmies to those who live near a push cart sec- tion, The price of meat bears direct re- lation 10 flavor--the juicy cuts bei highest in price, The less expensive cuts may be far from cheap in the Ist analysis, for chuck is more than hali waste, while round 'is only onc- twelfth waste, 'and porterhonse but one-eighth. However, the real test is the amount of edible portion to be ob- tained for a given sum, and here the round has the best showing and por- terhouse the poorest. If the housekeeper knows how to select good quality meat, she has a strong défense against unscrupulous dealers. The firm texture and bright color mean good health and wisely expended money. Parchitse of fish is governed many of the same rules as those which apply to buying meat.

A Simple Model That Looks Elabor but Is Within the Capabilities of the Home Dressmaker. a A handsome evening gown may be made from the dress illustrated to-day. Although the effect is elaborate, the home dressmaker will find no difficulty in developing the design if directions are carefully followed.

Originality in entertain- ing is as essential to children as to gPown-ups and new effects should be introduced, even in serving the cus- tomary sandwiches, ice cream and cookies, the latter, with the aid of fancy cutters being easily fashioned represent birds, flowers, brownies and animals that are sure to appeal to the childish imagination far more than the eaterer's most elaborate efforts. » It is also always a great pleasure to children to take something home from "the party," so that little, mexpensive souvenirs should be provided that will give hap quite out of proportion to their value; while favors or "snap- per mottoes" must not he forgotten, as the 'boys like the noise and the little girls are delighted with the op- 'portunity of "dressing up."

This gives the effect. of sealskin and ermine without the expense, Evening gowns of diaphanous ma- terials are trimmed with bands and knots and loops of fur, which appear most unexpectedly under folds of lace and net. And many of the heavy street suits show fur collars and cuffs . and bands on the skirts. Embroidered chiffon edging is sold in many of the shops. Some of it is embroidered in white, aiid some in colors; and it is Equally attractive when used as trimming on a chiffon petti- coat or when used as trimming about the neck' and sleeves of a dainty chif- fon blouse. A space-saving combination is the guinmpe and camisole or under bodice mn one. The upper part of this gar- ment is a net or lace gpimpe, with either high or low neck.
