Show I II h Pris Spring Fashions Are AdaptationJ From the Pt I Ii I II I kARIS April ISLa belle sairon I PARIS springtime has arrived not I only In calendar count but In actual sunshiny experience This season Is without doubt oC til the four the most delicious and Inspiring In-spiring filled as it Is with the perfume V of flowers and the song of birds Even In the more prosaic wearing of ones clothes there is a particular feeling of joy not experienced at any other timo I of the year And the springtime Surely the spirit ot mortal has no right to be proud To come back to the Immediate present pres-ent great care should be exercised In carrying out the old fashions that the modern adaptations do not clash too violently with them For instance when we affect the all popular pelerine outline we should remember that It calls for the shorter skirt In the early Vlqtorian days when pelerines were most In flower the skirts were round kilted biscuit canvas dotted all over with red spots Kilts formed the baby bodice which was further adorned with a coarse Irish crochet collar while an insertion of the same lace was carried down the front of the bodice and skirt A wide waist band of red leather and shoes of the same color were most attractive at-tractive touches also the scarlet hat and parasol with a long handle which completed this very chic costume Leather In all shades used as belts I 1VVV 4l r L L V 1 V Y 35JE hr I j I p x V VI t iU J a I V r L t i t I i Ill J I I 1 t H V V ilj il I I V rtV d k VV VV ilI j V i i j 4 I p I t4 VV 7 V u I i it I V TWO SHORT COATS DEVELOPED

from an f l I Intelligent and well balanced study of V the past a searching for grace and fit I i ness however and wherever found p V i The fruit of this study materializes in the building up of the

matters sartorial I sar-torial The couturleres will no doubt be V working at top speed adapting all that Is adaptable from our perfect modes to ult tl1t1 lc more advanced creations I V b and flounced and those we wear now although fitted at the hips should have I the old time flounces This idea Is beautifully beau-tifully carried out In all of the airy fairy fabrics of the day especially In the embroidered mulls and nets Materials are not the desideratum Just now but the wherewithal to adorn them Is where the strain on the purse strings is felt The only inexpensive trimming ot the season Is stitching both plain and fancy which Is being largely used on severe tailor mades and on belts blouses and some of the newest new-est smartest frocks The new Idea of using a chain Lllch In colored aUk on cloth Is effective A white cloth gown just sent to the Riviera RI-viera has on the skirt a yoke extending down the front covered with rows of chain stitching done In variegated silks A pretty feature on this gown was the use of small pieces of cloth to form buttonllke ornaments The charming weather on the Riviera IB responsible for many of the leading mondalnea still lingering in that climate cli-mate Nevertheless the first meeting at the hippodrome of Longchamps was the occasion of societys elegantes turning out in all the bravery of their spring frocks Beige and red were the favorite mixtures A very smart young married iroroan was woarlng a trottcuae skirt In p J = = n bands and pipings will be much In cvi I dence as a trimming Another fiock made with a plaltcc skirt and

belt adorned madams not too tiny waist A crepe de chine frock of almond uhadc apparently mounted over rose silk was the daintiest thing Imaginable On skirt and waist were motifs of dolencon lace the former showing a vest of brown velvet with turquoise buttons An Inner chemisette is of soft plaited turquoise blue satin The hat which wan worn with this costume cos-tume was a flat almond colored affair of lace and straw trimmedwith sprays I of fuchsias The genuine tailor built costumes are nearly all made In light colored tweeds and here dijain beige Is a leading color with blue serge running it close for popularity A gown of this sort can be made very distinctive by embroideries embroider-ies of white red and blue on heavy white linen Many of the most successful frocks of the season are made of tussore silk combined with thick coarse lace or pabsenienterlc A stunning tussore dress was one trimmed with self colored lace a bolero of which really made the waist fastened fas-tened with at barbaric looking ornament of steel and malaclto The high cein tune had a slide buckle of the same Russian order A few dlrcctolre models have created a sensation a particularly pretty one being of what they call here In Paris tilleul crepe de chine Tllleul really means linden and the color is best described de-scribed by the blooms of this lovely greenish yellow tree V The crepe de chine skirt was gathered closely to the figure round the hips while a long basqued coat of the tilleul colored taffeta had strappings of velvet and tiny silver ball buttons as decorations decora-tions The corsage which crossed dl rtctoire < fashion boasted revers of the same exciting era These toilets are remarkably picturesque and have a cachet ca-chet but they need a chic personality to carry them off successfully Alpaca Is going to be the material for traveling dresses this summer in plain colors stripes and dots Nothing is more serviceable I as it does not crush and is not hurt by dust rain or good hard wear It bobs up serenely after all kinds of storm and stress A sensible way to make one of these alpacas is with a costume is fast ousting the shirt waist suit The edict went forth from high sartorial quarters that we should not appear In the streets this summer without with-out a wrap of some kind hence the many charming little coatees deelgned I have my serious doubts whether the smart Parlslenne will ever consent to conceal her lines In even the most fetching of little topcoats V White is the fashionable color for the tiny wrap Canvas and elamlne over thin silk with collar cuffs and front done in lattice design caught In the In teratlces with small silkbuttons are popular Sacks in ducks egg color threaten to be the rage Indeed any fabric is acceptable the coat If it I is sufficiently trimmed with lace and cm broidery V Champagne and silver giay voile make dainty spring gowns and are not extravagant In price In the lingerie frocks grass lawns with velvet spots trimmed with chameleon eliot ribbon and a cape of lace completely covering the shoulders are sure to be worn No gown thct has any respect for itself It-self shows othor than V low shoulders and many gowns lace up the back or fasten there invisibly No two sleeves seem to be alike although the dominant domi-nant idea is a bishop set into deep wristbands with the fullness bulging out on the outside of the aim which Is often cut In a curious square form Every sleeve la a law unto Itself and the odder the better The tub frocks are marvels oi tucks lace and lingerie work and have a dainty simplicity all their own A truly simple one Is of figured gauze and only needs a hand V some sash for UB adornment The death Minister i Porters charming charm-Ing wife who with his attractive daughter made the American legation so gay cast a gloom over Parisian society so-ciety But we are on with the dance once more and the new evening gowns are simply gorgeous A recent Idea for these confections Is to put net and lace over spangled tulle They soften the garish effect of the spangles and give a ahlmmery appearance that Is Indeed lovely One could talk Indefinitely about the fickle goddess fashion but we shall not call her names because sho leads us In such graceful pleasant places where the eye Is charmed though the purse strings are loosened CATHERINE TALBOT Pclerlncn Very Fashionable Pelerines in
