This results in the most extraordinary effects and, if the fabric is striped, garments are brought into being which resemble nothing so much as one of Gilette Burgess's "Goops,". so strangely curved and twisted are the lines of the garment. To cut sack coats that are cut away in front from any but a plain cloth it is necessary to cut them with a '"straight"' shoulder, when it will be found that the pat tern of the fabric then tends toward the sides instead of the front of- the coat. It is claimed by some of the high-elass merchant tailors that "erooked" shoulders have been in vogue for so many years in this coun try that few of the tailors know how to cut "'straight'' ones, and that this is particularly true of the cutters as sociated with the manufacturing houses. This, they say, accounts for the number of failures that one sees in the shop windows-the strange vagaries of patterns, the non-match ing stripes, and the curious whirligig expression that one is apt to come up with in the less expensive coats. In fact, it is claimed that many of the tailors will have to learn all over again how to cut the cutaway sack coats, and that for this reason the ex elusive tailors will make a specialty of such coats because, for no other reason. they are so sure of their g.round. Trousers Growing Narrower. As the months advance the trousers are growing narrower, and 'straighter trousers will be a feature of the cos tumes of the more "smnartlv"' dress ed men about town who followv the lead of their British cousins.

Gray is to be the leading color, a few brownrs will be favored, but blues will be strongly in vogue, as will greers in 'their infinite variety-the gray greens, olives and the hazy blue green being perhaps, the ''color" of the spring season for 1909. Symbolic Gifts for Easter. As an occasion for the exchange of souvenirs Easter -has come to be a second Christmas with us. The cus tom is widespread now, presents be ing sent to little folk and grown-up people to an equal extent. Every yvr seems to bring fresh novelties for presentation. In reality the use of rabbi.ts, ehickens and eggs, togeth er with flowers, as symbols of the season, is a revival of very old cus toms. Spring flowers, in particular, are the favorite Easter greeting, a great deal of care being bestowed on their arrangement with the gifts they accompany. An old German eustom which has been revived among us is -the egghunt. According to this cus tom, colored boiled eggs are hidden, :the previous evening, all ov-er thle house, and, if the weather permits of it. out of doors also. Then on Eas ter morn.ing the whole family joins in the search for the eggs, and frequent ly gifts are discovered sto-wed a.way with .them. The custom of sending live chicht and ducklings to little children, who can hardly be expected to treat them carefully, should be seriously dis courage'd.-The April Designer. Undoubtedly. Tit-Bits. ''Do yo6u play any instruments, Mr. Jimp?" ''Yes. I'm a cornetist.'' "And yea~r sister?" "She's a pianist." ''Does your mother play?'' "She's a zitherist." "And your father?'' "He's a pessimist."

New Sprin With the skirts for street wear we find it almost impossible to wear the former flounced petticoat with the straight skirts of today. They are making the skirts in a narrow gored style with a scant circular flounce, which amounts to little more than a flare. The skirt should be made of supple silk, with a very plain hemmed flounce, which can be finished with a .silk braid. The much-beruffled petti coat has too much breadth in the skirt portion and the protruding ruf fles are noticeable beneath the nar row skirts. For wear under evening wns miodistes are making Empire petticoats, the upper portion of which extends to the high waist line and to the knee at the bottom, from which point falls a flounce of the same messaline silk or lingerie material, daintily trimmed with lace. The flounce is joined to the petticoat pro per by a hand of embroidery or a ribbon threaded beading. From the front of the Empire waistline a rib bon extends over each shoulder to the back of the waistline, thus assuring the wearer that the skirt will not slip out of place. The hipless skirts and high waist line, the close fit of dress skirts de mand a form-fitting petticoat with much more exactness in cut than ever before.' The new designs are with the adjustable bands and there is also a great demand for those with the draw strings. They are made on closer fitted lines with just the desired full ness in the back and little difficulty is experienced in adjusting them to the figure. so that they give perfect ly flat lines. With tailored suits the more simple designs are naturally fav ored. Silks of the softer character will be most popular this spring and the rustling taffetas will come next in favor. Satin surfaced , materials, which have been so popular the sea son just past. will carry over to the early spring and for Easter wear. Messalines will also be used, but it is found that they are not particular ly practical or durable. In taffetas plain colors will have the preference though stripes and floral designs .are also shown in great variety. Some of the stripes are three-quarters of an inch in width and show combina tions of harnmonious colors. In cotton garments the imitation silk fabrics find the *most f8vor.

Other Cotton materials that are shown for s pig petticoats are striped ef fects in ginghams, muslins and print ed cottons. Some of the garments have printed border designs on ac cordion plaited flounces. These are novel and attractive. In Paris a special petticoat has been designed for those women who insist on a petticoat under the even ing rowns. It is of softest, most clinging satin or silk, falling in long straight plaits,. unbroken by ruffles or floiinces. to the ground. As a fin ish there .is a raching of the same material.

Those, however, who adopt the height of fashion. appear sans anything below the skirt. Hoisery Hints. This being a season of ensemble ef feet, hoisery, like gloves, shoes, hats and everything else, must adhere to the color scheme of the gown. This is a discouraging piece of news, for the price of silk stockings in this country is not what it is in Paris. Of course, we have those of the lisle and mercerized variety, which wears far better and looks "almost as well," but she of .the slinder income who wishes to be strictly "a la mode," must economize somewhat on other trifles if she wishes to obey the dic tates of Parisian fashions. But even these near silk hose must match the gown. This will necessitate having not 'one pair to wash and one pair to wear,'" but one pair for every zown. if not one pair for every day in the week. Everything in the way of light mesh fabrics will, of course, be shown for spring and summer, and their preferment will be adjusted to the individual income, but silk is the really swell thing. Black embroidered effects will be more popular than ever in lisle and mercerized textures, but monotones will prevail in the silks. Harking back to the slashed skirts and petti coatless ankles, they have given the boisery, like the .pumps or oxfords, more prominence than ever; neverthe less, the open meshed stockings are not as fashionable as the filet net, ng for Your P1 E HARD WAR PL AY rsare made entirely < pt the beam and hai life time.

In the early spring months, while -the long skirts are still being worn for street. and especially if the gown is of the type that mist be lifted up in front while the wearer is walking, it is essential plain or open work, lisle or silk s.tockings must match the kid shoes. If the costume be brown or gray as many will be, let the hose match the suede or ooze kid shoes, as the case may be. The street hose may be with con trasting clocks or black embroidered treatments. For evening use have embroidered or openwork designs up on the gtauze webbing of so trans parent a quality that when drawn over the foot the fancy pattern is in strong relief. For evening wear, and especially at summer resorts, em broidered stockings will be the rage. They will also be expensive; therefore it is a- safe prophecy that many will wear openwork hoisery in defiance of the 'hard and fast edicts of the im provident. Many women who are skillful with the needle are embroidering their own designs on stockings, and if done well, can be made very effective. Some of the very expensive hose for evening wear are ornamented with elongated wreaths of spangles sewed flat, or golden beads. These are to be worn with gilt shoes and an elab orate evening toilette. Eight Hints For the Housekeeper. To render . stained .water-bottles beautifully clean and bright put in salt and pour on vinegar; stand a few hou"s, then shake. Rinse in clear water. Damp salt will remove tea stains from erookery. Turpentine is the best preventive for months. Saturate pieces of brown paper with same and place in bores. A gas stove can be kept nice and clean by wiping eaeh time after us ing. and once a week washing with turpentine. To boil -eggs without the risk of cracking, hold them in a spoonful of boiling water before immersing them. Equal parts of turpentine, linseed, oil and vinegar make a spendid pol ish for furniture. To turn out -eake from a tin with out breaking, wrap it round with a damp cloth for a few minutas. To tuarn out a pudding boiled in a basin, 'hold it for a few moments in cold water; this will prevent its stick ing to -t:he cloth.-The April Designer. dwoare t& lantation E LINE - a f Iron anrd idIes, and B R l CI 0 A L 0h - e 4 hlI Streets
