A Timely Paraphrase. How many people misquote the Immortal poet pnd persist in exclaiming. In the epring a woman's fancy turns lightly to thoughts of clothes.'

Iftirlng the spring months and, Indeed, at all seasons, the cost and skirt, from the smartest of embroidered tailor modes to th simplest of flannels, reign supreme. Moreover, one may say with some degree of certainty that as long as this imtrllcal costume exists ao long will then be a demand for the blouse. And It Is In the world of blouses that la mods thia season has achieved one of bar greatest triumphs by bringing this useful little garment Into conformity with the skirt, not necessarily by making it of the same color nr material throughout, hut In many instance by bordering it with piece of the material of which th coat and skirt aro made. Perhaps It la because simple lingerie shirts aro worn with strictly tailor made costumes that the blouse proper is more elaborate than ever. It ahuws most graceful, kimono-lik- e sleeve and usually has a high celnture uttached ta It, so thaL In reality the smart. ' loose and graceful bodice without bones or stiff linings Is th fashionable blouse of tbe hour. Only Fer th YouthfuL The pinafore bodice for a grownup woman aerms rather an absurd idea, doesn't it? And yet it Is an Idea which finds favor in tha sight of many. On a number of the new gowns one sees the genuine pinafore bodice, and on others merely the shoulder straps that give this riled. Ona thing to be said in favor of this mode in that it is very practical and is one of the few smart styles that lend themselves to making over schemes and enable one to trans form a last years bodice into something up to date at small expense. My personal opinion ia that the pinafore bodice is only suitable fur quite young women end for girls. It has a rruel little way of making the woman of uncertain age look ridiculous. Another fashion one of the latest novelties which la suitable only for young and slender women Is the short coatee which just covers the waist line and is distinctly shorter In front than at the back. This smart little garment is in great favor just now. and it is rather fascinating in fine cloth with embroideries of chenille and tassels dangling at unexiiected corners.
