Now Yorlif April 15.-- PurM* has sent n* her Ka-stor offerings. There are many novel touches oil these wonder* fill creations.

And America, the eager, re ?vlve* the suggestions gladly, ami a ilo|?t s those most suited to her need ami the hour. The very tlrst thought on seeing any collection ?*f iiuportisl models, is, "Oh, how straight rhvy are," and then one looks axalu to see how th^s very straight effect Is gained. The waist Is lange, ami loose ; vanished la the pluched-lu licit, except in .some cases (for, of course, there are exceptions to thi^ rule.) The bust lias the effect One-Sided Tunic Dress of being very flat and low, and the tunic*, loug and short, carry the eye in a longer downward sweep 1 6 the deep heui. . Sleeves are having their own way very .much this year. Per haps they extend to the wrist, with a sweey> over the hand ; perhaps they are wide and bell -shaped, ending be low the elbow ; or they may !?e con trary, and refuse to even reach the elbow. contenting themselves with a inert* excuse far above the elbow. In any event they are very Important, and have fascinating cuffs of the Haiue or contrasting material, embroidered, or braided to the nth degree. Some times the sleeve Is slashed to show a peep of color or of the arm itself. Many of the French dressmakers are featuring slashes. Then the skirt 'is quite narrow, sometimes malting a slash a necessity. It, too, is quite straight, from hip to hem, and plain* in the tailored suits. They usually measure from a yard .-Mid a half to a yard and seven-eighths in width, an<^, are, as a rule, rather short, twelve inches from the floor being the favored length. There are so many pretty bordered material's from which to" elWOsc This year. Combined either with plain ma terial. or with the unbordered part of the goods, charming effects can be ob'y tained without any etftra trimmitig. The little dress illustrated here lm^ one of the one-sided tunics, which-- d re proving so very popular. The uneven yoke of the tunic is decidedly a fash ion feature also. This dress was of dark blue foulard, with its border and cay dots of emerald green, and ttfe foundation skirt and sleeves of plaiu blue satin. Sometimes these one-sided tunics are faced back with a deep con trasting color, as for instance, in this gay dots of emerald greenr, and the edges being scalloped together. . Em broidery flouncLrig is especially appro priate for a ufixlel of trils type, and makes a dainty attractive little dress for the summer days. i ' f ? ' ' < Visitor ?
