X Bobtnson," HETHER the present ration al styles, with their dull, delighting ''colorings, their graceful, sweeping lines and their general simplicity of design, are due to a widespread Im provement of feminine taste that re jects flat-footedlyi the ugly and bizarre, or whether they are merely the chance evolution of fashions past and gone, is a problem not simple U solve. Cer tain It Is that the makers of modes, to a great to-do at the tenacity with .Which woman fcaa clung, for several paeaon past, to certain well-defined tenets of styi, have made violent ef forts to Interest her m hoops and ha ftsca skirts and other startling Innova IjHcms. But quite to no avail she has umed her welte back on them, and turned down firmly her pretty, polished thumbs. However it be, not in many 7MC8 bam the styles been so practical pjcA so reasonable and withal so uni ararsaZTy beooming and beautiful. The (rig; anttg, ateiple tailored suit for ptmet wear, the soft, clinging, low jteaad afternoon gowne the filmy even txtg toOtttes with their Oriental mo-dfs-tt to small wonder women should loath to give these np. There bar been no really radical ftangaa in the general contour of pithar salts or gowns. They are cut jen dose, CgOTo-deantng lines, although the skirts are not extreme, and in the Br easier gowns are given a certain ap pearance of fullness by the fulling of the overs irt about the waist, the bot tom, however, being cut very scant. The aid fastening, and the side trimming predominate, the suit-coats rarely having more than two or three large buttons to fasten them. Gun metal, horn and bone buttons are used a great deal. An effective touch ia often added to a suit by binding the buttonholes with the material with which the suit is trimmed. Boiling revere and rounded sailor Collar effects have been developed in various new forms, and, quite a bit longer than those seen in the winter, will be a marked feature of the spriD cults. In length the suit coats vary from twenty-four to twenty-eight Inches, although in the seml-tallored and more elaborate silk suits twenty inches la considered good length. Many of the models are of the smart belted designs, with the waist line in dicated a little above the normal. Of this style was a most attractivelue eerge suit, in the cutaway effect, which is much favored this season. The back of the coat was drawn into a belt, Just above the waist line, and all fullness and clumsiness was eliminated by the adroit, cutting af. the back and side All the stitching on the done in plum-color, and Into the large revers, which rolled into a Bide fastening of two big buttons was a triangular inset of Dltrm-color and black satin. The simple street suit invariably has the long sleeve, but the silk models or the elaborate three-piece suits have often the seven-eighths sleeve. These latter have a tendency toward flowing lines and draped effects. The skirts are still quite narrow, most of them having either Inserted panels, used to obtain the slashed ef fects so well in favor, or else they have overlapping panels at front and back, which are fastened down only as far as the hips. The crocs-over style is well liked when the coat has the side fastening, and with button trimming and the slightly raised waist line these are very neat. The wide-wale serges are largely em ployed for the simple street suit, al though mohair, worsteds and spring weight ratines are very modish. It is taffeta silk, however, that is flashing its changeable gleams from the pinna cle of popularity. It will be used largely, not only for gowns and trim mings, but for the suits for summer wear. When serge is among the fashion able fabrics onr "y depend upon va rious shades of i..m being to the fore. Other spring colors you may expect to see in the Easter promenade are lovely soft tans and light browns, stone and taupe greys, plums, bordeaux, whites and greens. It is tan, perhaps, and shades of champagne that will predom inate. The vogue for contrasting materials has been carried over to the spring of ferings. One pretty model of tan taf feta had the large revers made of a striped brown and tan satin. The cuffs were of the same, and the, skirt, which was in the tunic effect, had the under portion of the striped material. Lace will be used on many of the cloth' suits, In the way of collars and cuffs, and will be used more lavishly on the silk models. Separate coats retain most of the features of the winter styles the wide, one-side lap, the straight, narrow cut, the big revers. The sleeves are somewhat roomier, and the large arm- hole is especially to be sought by the woman who is given to fichu effects in her gowns. Double faced materials are favored, and on many of the coats are eilk or satin collars and cuffs In contrasting color. Tor a little later wear linen or piqu6 collars and cuffs will be seen with the long coats. Al though the utility coats are all full length, one may find an occasional coat intended for dressy wear that ia three- quarters or seven-eighths length. These are usually in the cutaway effects an developed in silk or satin. The taffeta gown la without doubt the leading feature of the Spring sea son. After the gleaming satins and ery and the all-over embroidery com bine well with any of the favored laces. Embroidered flouncing will be In great demand, owing to the vogue veiled mistiness of past seasons It comes back to us with a quaintly de mure charm that is emphasized br the present styles in which It is made up. Flat, narrow ruffles are seen again about the bottom of some of these gowns. A little afternoon frock of blue and green changeable taffeta was happily trimmed as to the skirt, with three rows or bands of plaited silk. The bottom of these bands was fin ished with a cord of the silk, and the top with a tiny upstanding frill. The waist had a fichu of the silk trimmed with several rows of cording, which was brought into a huge silver buckle Just above the waist line. About the bottom of the slightly raised belt was another tiny frill that gave the effect of an outside finish, to the waist that is so well liked Just now. Models which are really but a variation of the Russian blouse carry this idea to Its extreme, the extension below the belt sometimes taking on the form of a short tunic. Plaid silk was used for the waist and the upper half of the skirt of a simple little frock in greens and blues. The plaid was cut in somewhat of an apron shape on the skirt, reminding one of the Moyen Age effects. Still another gown of blue satin had the upper part of the waist, of blue and white striped satin, with a short, tight tunic, which resembled more a peplum, reaching only to the hips. A fichu of soft white tulle, double frilled, lightened up a black taffeta gown which was trimmed to the knee with scalloped silk ruffles. Tiny silk taffeta bows were set in a line down the middle of the front, and trimmed the sleeves. Short rippling basques finished the fitted corsage. The lingerie gowns are more attrac tive than ever this year, it seems. Many of them are solid lace and em broidery, and bo fragile and filmy In appearance that one can not possibly associate them with the wash-tub. Venise laces are used for these, to a great extent, and machine-made filets are popular, while the eyelet embroid of lingerie gowns made with two ,or three flounces to form the skirt. These flounces are really appliqued one to the other so that the close lines are maintained. Surplices or fichu waists are most often seen with skirts of this description. Several new features were noted on the imported lingerie gowns in an ex clusive little shop this spring. All of them had a touch of color, usually at the belt. One of them had a cerise velvet girdle, with an odd old gold ornament fastening it under the arm, a bit toward the back another had not only a plum-color velvet girdle, but the panels of lace that hung at the front and back of the skirt were weighted with three large velvet buttons, on either Bide. A striking idea on one stunning model was the two-inch atrip of black satin that extended from un der the arm to the bottom of the hem and was laced across, for the entire length, with white cord. Very frilly and chick was the effect of plaited white net ruffles which had a narrow black .border, about the bot tom Of T 1noi Trrmlr Tftlf- siiople little gown of embroidery and lace by the girdle of fine dark blue beads that had been twisted into a cord, and was tied loosely about the waist.

J- Robinson. WOMAN who Is noted lor J 1 her especially well-grooms x. I appearance on all occasions the other day divulged on, of the reasons that undoub; tallc mor edly contributes not a little to her trin neatness. "I always," said sne, "try to two skirts for wear with my TTt Tim know how much quickly the skirt begins to show sigr oT wear than the coat. "Well, If I ha my suit made, I get the tailor to makt me an extra skirt, a3 plain as possible if I buy a suit ready made I match the material as near- as possible, and hare an odd skirt made tip, or even sometimes make it myself. Then when I come Into the house I slip off the reg ular suit skirt, Bp into my odd skirt and thus keep my suit reasonably fresh looking without the constant pressing which Is usually necessary A good suggestion this for the woman who intends to get an odd skirt have it match, as nearly as yon can, your street suit, and the waists which will go with one will do quite as well with the other also. The skirts, while straight and nar row, are moderate and graceful incut. Probably slashed effects over Inserted panels are more strongly featured than other styles. Skirts which simu late the tunic mode, especially those with the side closing, are much seen. Models combining the slightly raised waist line with front and back panel effects are good. One very simple two piece skirt showed the back width lapped over with the front, at the left side, and fastened with three bone but tons at waist and hem. Buttons are used very freely for trimming, often in a solid line from the waist line to the bottom of the skirt One trig white serge skirt had the overlapping front caught down for Its entire length with large pearl but tons. Never has the evening blouse, nor those designed for wear with the street suit, offered sucl a golden opportunity to the home dressmaker for the utili zation of odd bits of lace, chiffon, vel vet or silk. There are the sleeveless overblouses of chiffon, which just cover the seam of the armhole of the lining, and have their own armhole cut out very deep, suggesting thus the present sleeve tendency. This deep armhole will be a strong feature on many of the spring and summer waists. Then there are the one-sided effects which permit the use of s trios or pointed effects of lace. A plum color chiffon bodice, designed to wear with a Knit of the same shade, was in sur plice style, with a band of beautiful Venise lace extending across one shoul der. Odd little revers of plum color velvet were placed just at the base of the high standing collar of net. The lingerie blouses for the season show not the slightest Introduction or color. They are made up largely from batistes, net crepes, linen, and French voile, and are most profusely trimmed with lace. Venise filet cluny and Irish laces and their imitations have the preference, which are charmingly com bined with motifs of embroidery. Tne sleeves of these blouses show no fullness, most of tbem being set into the waist and of three-quarter length. Not a few models have dainty ruffles of either the material or of lace Just at the elbow, which are indescribably pretty above a pretty arm. Jan BrayteH. Copyright. 1911, by X. J. Rofeinaoa. kSB wig maker heaved a sigh T so profound that the poffs he was combing lovingly flat tered to the floor. "It's the uaall hata," ha made moan, "the small hats that will ruin me! No more puffs, no mora curls, no more nothing!" And verily did he speak truth, for while elaborate coiffures may be seen by night, the plainer styles, classic In their simplicity, prevail overwhelming ly by day. Women have discovered that It Is not a safe proceeding to twist their wisp of bair Into a tight little button, pull their smart little toques down about their ears, and sally forth trusting to luck that the occasion will not require their rev moral. So they have adopted simple methods of hairdresslng, which while permitting perfect fit of the small hat; does not betray Nature's parsimony. Thus the coiled effects, arranged close to the head, have had a contin uous popularity, and in several new forms will be much seen' this season. There Is a strong tendency, however, to dress the hair quite a bit higher on the head, and with the high coiffure in view the wig makers should chirk no. because it will no doubt mean a return of fluffier hair fashions. Just now the classic Psyche knot is much In evidence. A study should be made of the profile to determine at just what height the Psyche should be worn, for no style of hairdresslng so' emphasizes the tilt of one's nose and the Bet' of one's chin. To dress the hair in this manner, part off the front of the hair as for a pompadour and comb forward. This may be waved or not as suits the face. The remain der of the hair Is then combed back and tied at the base of the crown of the head, Just above the nape of the neck. A foundation, or rat is then pinned across the back of the bead. Now divide the back hair Into three strands, rolling the middle strand into a big puff, which should be pinned lengthwise and so as to cover the cen ter part of the foundation. The two remaining, strands may now be twisted together lightly and coiled about the puff. The ends of the front portion of hair should be twisted Into a tight coil and then tucked under the coils about the knot The French twist not the bard, tight slick affair of twenty years ago, but a soft, fluffy roll of hair extend ing from the crown of the head to the nape of the neck the French twist Is especially attractive when the front hair is parted and rolled up away from the neck. The woman who has had trouble in concealing the stiff oolnted top of her switch and the unyielding stems, will be glad to know of two comparatively new ways In which the switch la made up. One is simply not made up at at all, it is Just a wavy plait with soft curls at either end, which may be manipulated in any number of ways. The other method is to fasten the hair to a flat soft ring, which makes stemming unnecessary, and fa- cilitates neat natural hah-dressing. Women Young at Forty. Miss Villa Faulkner Page, who Is tak ing up in New York the paycho-therapy treatment, begun in Boston's Back Bay Episcopal churoh by the Rev. Dr. El wood Worcester, addressed a large number of women in the hall of the Professional Woman's League on the subject of "How Old Are You?" She said: "It is a nightmare to every woman to grow old Just as she is throbbing with life and energy and plans. At-40 we are young. Gossiping, fretting, and the steady monotony of too much home life bring the look of old age. .Get away from all these. Get something; to do outside of the home. Join a club. Go to baseb. ll games. Do something any thing. "Life does not mean a cessation, but a continuation, of activity. Tou are better fitted for work at 50 than at 40. Nowadays many men retire at 50. This is wrong. Men ca do many things better during the 20 years from 50 to 70 than during the 20 from 30 on. "Don't worry about beauty, or you will surely lose it. Think of the beau tiful things of the world, and that you are a part Of them. The power of per petual youth lies within all." Miss Page said she discovered the new life about 10 years ago. New York Tribune. BLACK AND ROSE. Rather daring In oolor and style is the hat sketched today. That a strik ing fashion of this kind should be adopted by a youthful countenance only is needless to say. The loaf shaped crown of this turban is co'ered completely by closely massed roses and buds in a delicate shade of pink. There is a narrow brim of black satin. 1 -ALWAYS SHOWING SOMETHING NEW- MI the Glory of Exclusive Spring Fashions Reflected in tar Grand Review o Ladies' Apparel for Spring Easter Is Very Near Selection Is Now Important Come, see, enjoy 'and appreciate the bigness of your opportunity to buy the new, beautiful and exclusive thing's to wear, offered by this great store.

One feature of the young girl's street suit, which is more marked, perhaps, than in the grown-up models, is the rise of lace as a trimming. It is usu ally in the Torm of detachable collar and cuffs the Irish and Venlse laces being well liked but several smart styles show the lace worked into the Bailor collar and rever effects in inter esting fashion. Illustrative of this idea was a blue serge suit over whose broad revers of the serge turned back an all over sailor collar of Venise lace, the back of it, however, being entirely cov ered by the deep collar of black satin, In the rounded sailor form, that fell over it, and was fastened to the back of the coai with fiat frogs of soutache braid. pretty finish Tor the Jaunty little cutaway coats, which is seen to a great extent in the adult waits, also, I the scalloped edge. The entire bottom of the coat, and the fronts to the lowest botton, are cot In shallow scallops about three inches across, which are bound with a narrow soutache braid. In white serge, which bad a hair line stripe of black, the effect was espe cially good. The conning garments for the wee kiddies this season show a wide va riety of styles. There are sailor suits and Russian blouse suits for the tiny men, and kilted styles and quaint sur plice designs for email sister. The two piece effects will be much worn this summer. These consist of a plaited skirt joined to an under body, and an over blouse made usually in kimona style. These may be worn with or without a belt, but they are particu larly pretty when finished with one of the wide patent leather belts, which are seen on so many of the litOe frocks. For the play dresses the heavy mate rials are favored linen, rep, pique, and! washable corduroy. Many of these are quite plain except for the scal loped edges, which are machine em broidered and Which form a neat fin ish for neck, sleeve and skirt Plaids, In delicate colors, in the chambray or gingham, are often mad very simply so that with them may be worn sailor collars and cuffs of sheer embroidery; lace edged, A pale pink and green plaid with a deep, cross-over collar and wide cuffs of sheer hand embroidered batiste, had a quaint note introduced in the inch-wide knife pleating of the plaid gingham which was carried around the lower edge of the belt. Some of the- new coats show a clever adaptation of the cutaway style so modish in womeu's garments. Large collars and revers continue in favor as does likewise the side closing. And nothing less than adorable is the little tot's spring bonnet with the rose or ribbon on it Bonnet shapes, with stiff little ornaments of feathers or ribbon, or faced with soft chiffons and trimmed with prim little posies, are the most alluring styles for the very small child For the older girl are the small strff hats, flower trimmed, the serviceable pique hats, the close little bonnet hats, and the dainty lingerie hats, with a rose or two nestled here and there in the filminess. u J Copyright, 1912, by I. J. Robinson. IHE shoemaker, with his of ferings for the spring and summer months, has surely I provided plenty of work for idle feminine hands to do. "What with repairing the havoc wrought to hosiery by the demure but destructive pump which has abated not a jot in popularity and maintaining In a Btate of immaculate purity her white canvas and buckskin boots, it looks like a busy season for the wom an who keeps up with the fashions. But to give the shoemaker his due, never has he turned out such fascinat ing footwear as the shops will show this season. From the trim street boot to the dainty evening slipper the models show elegance of contour and style. For early spring wear the but toned boot will be favored with the tailored suit and even with the dressy costume. These continue to bo made with the medium Bhort vamp, of the dull leathers or the patent kid with cloth or kid tops. Many of the street shoes show the high stub toe, although this feature is not carried to the ex treme, and the straight tip and the Cuban heel prevail. Tan and brown leathers will be In greater demand than ever on account of the vogue for various shades of tan in suits and gowns. Among the higher grade shoes will be found those hav ing the gaiter top, whose neat quaint ness has endeared them to the smartly dressed woman. These are very at tractive when the gaiter vtops match the color of the frock with which they are worn. The gaiter idea has also been adapted to the low shoe, and those who care for button effects in the low shoe will find a pretty style which has the three buttons cleverly placed at the side. But it is the white shoe that is in the spot light, so to speak. In can vas or in buckskin they are being shown in a' great variety of styles. There is the high boot of sixteen but ton length, in either canvas or buck there Is the comfortable oxford, of five eyelets, the perennial pump and the pretty Colonial slipper with its leather or metal buckled There is a marked revival of the Colonial effects for both evening and street wear. And now a word about the even ing and dancing slipper.. Metal and beaded styles have the preference, al though the light kids and satins, usu ally with a beaded toe design, win ne doubt be worn later on with the lin gerie gowns. A practical choice Is the black satin slipper, or the bronze, either, of which look well with any color of gown. HOSIERY HELPS. Colonial styles In footwear are re sponsible for the wearing of white or light colored hose with slippers, and sometimes-with the high boots. Embroidered effects are gaining steadily in favor. Champagne and tan shades will be seen, worn not only with toilettes of the same, but with black low shoes and gowns of contrasting color. Black lace stockings are pretty with the plainer black' satin slippers. Flesh color hose are a daring nov elty that will continue to be worn by the woman who likes startling effect. CITRON COLORED CLOTH. This is a delightfully rich and pret ty little gown for early spring wear. It is developed in citron-colored drap souple with bandings elaborately sou tached in the same shade. These bands cross the bodice in surplice fashion below a yoke and collar of lace. Another similar band in turn crosses these, forming a bolero effect around the arm, while over the shoulder is a crushed fold of black satin. The sleeve which boasts quite a fullnes ia made of citron chiffon over self-tone satin with a cuff of the soutache banding. The skirt has a three-quarter length tunic finished with soutache band'. Below this and over the plain underskirt is a knotted drapery of citron-colored satin. BRIDAL GOWNOF BEAUTY. The lines of this beautiful bridal gown are graceful and full of dignity. It is, of course, of the inevitable white satin with banding of old lace. The long square train forms a court man tel and crossing the left shoulder be- bordered with the silver embroidery which is, held together on the right side of the plain satin underskirt by loops and heavy tassels of silver.

Vj W -r- "I 7" Copyright, 1912, by I. J. Robinson. HE eraeeful La Valliere. T which not only fulfills the Jewelry, but if carefully .chosen, may add the neces sary emphasis of color to a costume, has so ensured the feminine fancy that' each season sees many new de signs in these necklaces. Though not particularly expensive, many of them have a very rich appearance when they are of worthy design and given an an tique finish. Lapis, jade, moon-stones, asethysts, topaz, and the abalonei pearls are most frequently used, while the antique silver finish seems to be preferred. An attractive novelty are the neck' laces which show a clever use of cut silver. Strung on a slender sliver chain are from six to eight or more pendant stones, those noticed were amethysts, turquoises and topaz which appear to be surrounded with rbtneetone. but which Is In reality simply brilliantly polished silver cut in similar facets. Necklaces of the- Italian filigree Bil vr will be suitable for wear with the fialnty summer gowns. The delicate Italian mosaic work in its wonderful tluea that suggest southern skies is used Tor many necklaces, with some times a cameo as the center pendant, or a small enameled pansy or other small flower. Necklaces of gold plated filigree, in beautiful designs, Egyptian or Etruscan in origin, may be bought for six and eight dollars. Bracelets, in band effect, of the gold plated filigree, are equally reasonable. Wihat promises to be a very charming fad is the revival of the bracelet that has attached to it a tiny ring through which the handkerchief is slipped. Bracelets that broaden Into an oval section large enough to contain a tiny vanity case in which are concealed a diminutive puff atd a fluff of powder, are among the interesting novelties In an exclusive shop. The black velvet neck bands with their slides of rblnestoneswlll no doubt be much worn with the fichu effects in gowns this summer, as they seem especlallyi suited to this quaint style. Belt buckles are another feature that the present modes of dress will popu larize to a great extent. These are of generous size, of both the buckle and pin variety. Barrettes for the hair are consider-1 ably smaller, and In anticipation of the high hair dressing which is re turning to favor, the very small round and oval gold barrettes are "being shown again. Rhinestone hair orna ments and barrettes are much seen, as well as a wide variety of pins orna mented with carved silver or gold. ro you remember the crocheted fin ger purses that our mothers used to carry years ago long, narrow affairs, with a slit in the center, lengthwise, which was kept closed by means of a couple of small rings that could be slipped back and forth? Bags of this style, much enlarged and elaborated, are among the many new designs that have been added to the already large assortment of these convenient recep tacles. In silks or brocades, trimmed with fringe or tassels, these ring bags would not be difficult to make at borne. One might copy a very stunning one which was made from green and blue taffeta. Both sides had a wide design carried out at the end In steel beads. One end was left straight and edged with cut steel fringe, while the other, mitered In three-cornered shape, was drawn into a cut. steel tassle. 1 i k Token of True Love An Evidence of Sincerity A Guarantee of Good Faith This Diamond Ring Give Her a Moreliouse Diamond One she will be proud to possess and not ashamd to admit where it came from.

Robinson. .IMONAS of a good quality of silkoltne, In delightful designs and colorings, and edged with wide bands of satin, may be bought for $3. 50. A noTel negligee seen in one of the Ehops owed its original style to the very wide, pointed revers that turned back from the opening at the throat on one side only, and extended below the waist," where the narrow point was fin ished with a long tassel. The left edge of the garment was simply stitched, as was the bottom of the sleeves and the Bklrt, and was brought over to the side to fasten with two large buttons, just beneath the tasseled end of the revers. Cndersleeves of material matching this rever completed the attractive little lounging robe. The sailor collar la well adapted for use on dressing sack or tea gown. "In sheer embroidery with a lace frill about the edge they are seen on both silk and cotton models. For $1.95 one may get a very dainty matinee of fig ured lawn having a sailor collar, and wide cuffs, made from the earn mate rial, but edged with lace and Insertion. A most elaborate matinee of all-over lace with a lining of pale blue silk sug gested the possibility of a home-made copy, in which an old lace waist or gown and the satin lining of last year's party gown might be used. The all over lace of the model, which was In pointed effect about the bottom, had blue silk tassels to finish each point.'::'; The lines of the new tea gowns fol low very closely the trend of the styles in other garments. The crushed girdle has displaced the Empire effects, the side closing is much used, and pretty cutaway effects are obtained by the use of lace applied In a sort of coat tail effect that begins from the center of the front. SUGGESTIONS TOR THE SUMMER LINGERIE!. Many of the new night gowns are trimmed with lace about the hem, and some are slashed up at, either side, with lace outlining the slashes. For the woman who does not care for the combination garments the chem ise with fitted back should prove sat isfactory. The garment is cut with a small Inverted plait Just below the waist line, which makes It fit snugly about the waist Very dainty, if not quite practicable, are the night gowna of white, pink or blue- crepe de chine, trimmed; with Hor mandy val about the yokes and sleeves. Cotton' crepe is gaining in favor for lingerie, and especially for gowns, be cause of the ease with which it may be laundered. A clever way to make the popular combination garments, so that the com bination may be severed if one desires, is to finish the top of the drawers and the bottom of the corset cover with separate bands of beading. One rib bon may be run through them both, so that either garment may be changed very easily. There Is little change In the corsets for this season, a fact which pleases Madame mightily, though it grieves the corset-maker sorely. They remain very supple, very long and medium lew in the bust. To be perfectly corseted these day one must appear to be as guiltless of stays as a school girl. The ugly hip line of the old models has been elimi nated by snug, smooth skirts of tha fabric, and the bust line may now ba concealed by the almost indispensable brassiere. A style of corset that la steadily gaining in favor Is what is called the) topless corset, which extends only two inches to three Inches above the waist; This model is particularly desirable foa the woman of slender build, or for ons who is athletically Inclined, and when j worn with a well fitted brassiere give i great freedom of movement.

THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAL MARCH 27, 1912 C. M HILL AND SON TOPEKA'S ARTISTIC DECORATORS ut You Decoration lem Ud to Us rob Copyright, 1912, by I. J. Robinson. HE table ware of a home or E I a -Nation Is generally oonaid- A I ered a reliable index to the taste and refinement of its people. In nothing else are there greater possibilities of grace and beauty, wider variety, of lovely forms or more exquisite color combinations. The house wife who does not rejoice In her cat glass and china is Indeed a "rare aris in terra," and unfortunately It Is from this very taste for pretty things that the greatest decorative clangers may arise. Strong effects in great variety in patterns and tone mar the appearance of the table, the china cabinet or the dining-room. If one most mix miscellaneous pieces and sets, It must bo done at least most judicious ly. Far such arrangements, however, there are no rules, one can only rely on an lunate sense of harmony which, If they possess will prove a sufficient guide, and which if they lack, advice can scarcely supply. In china, heavy decoration Is to be avoided. It la permissable Indeed upon mere show pieces, but often Badly out of place on articles designed for the practical serving of food. The after dinner cottee is the only exception to this rul nd that because the bever age ltse.'f Is of oriental origin, and a decoration In keeping with the ornate spirit of 03b East t therefore not in appropriate. In glass It Is well to prefer Rock Crystal, Bohemian and Austrian wares to the more ordinary cut glass, though In the best patterns this is still the mode upon well appointed tables. The use of glass, china and pottery for purely ornamental purposes seem: to gain popularity daily, and Indeed no more effective decoration is possible than some srem of the Ceramic Art carefully chosen and well placed. A rich climax to a rightly planned color scheme, may often be achieved In a bright toned bit of pottery amid sur roundings of deeper hues In a shaded nook or corn or. As an adjunct to flower arrange ments, pottery is to be highly consid ered, and Tor this purpose, simple forms in plain finish are most suitable and pleasing. There are many exquisite American wares on ttie market whose p'ain, un adorned mat surface in soft greens, bright purples, yellows, reds and browns, or whose simply adorned ex teriors, with suggestive floral or land scape treatments in variations of the self tones, blend harmonlomely or con trast delightfully with the varied hues of flowers and greenery. Cement in age toned effects, plaster in ivory finishes, brass and copper re ceptacles are often likewise lovely back ground for growing plants or flowers. Art lamps are another decorative feature or the modern home, and here we have the widest latitude of choice Imaginable. Standing lamps or side wall fixtures are as a rule preferred to the central chandelier, though this Is still permissible with the right set tings. In choosing fixtures, one shoutf look well to their appropriateness for the interior, and be sure that they do not in any way clash with the colors, line, or period of the general' decorations. For standing lamps and table lamps, the lady of the household may often fashion -the most wonderful shades upon simple wire foundation frames with her own fair, fingers, finding abundant suggestions for reproduction or adaptation in the decorators' shops or tie lamp departments of our large stores.

J. Robinson. HERB are two ways of ap proaching the decoration of our walls, according aa our taste does, or does not run to wards pictures. For the lover of these, there is only one form of wall treatment the simplest, flattest, and least complieated--offerlng an Ideal background for the( framed gems of his collection. Plain, unflgured wall paper, and wall coverings, generally, have for this reason, a wide vogue, as have also those in which the figureIs unobtrusive and quiet, low in tone and In relief. Much is to be said in favor of these plain walls, in soft dull tones, cool or rich as suits the .fancy of the house holder. Simple panellings also pos sess the same virtues and the lame charms and one can scarcely make a mistake in choosing these effects. There are however, on the other hand, arrangements as graceful, as ar tistic, as elaborate, in carefully worked out dadoes, friezes and panels, pre senting in themselves a complete scheme "of embellishment, similar In feeling to mural painting. In libraries and dining-rooms, par-1 ticularly, these dadoes and frieze ef fects are appropriate and charming. The mistake of hanging pictures on such walls should be avoided, and even plates, mugs, steins, etc., should be omitted from the plate rail of the av erage dining-room, thus decorated. A landscape pattern, or a vine-hung lattice does not look well when broken by a stein or a plate. The effect Is Il logical and inharmonious. In general, one should alwayi avoid heaping embellishment upon embellish ment, as the result Is as absurd as "to gild refined gold, or paint the lily." There Is a certain quiet harmony about frieze and dado decoration, un broken by any other adornment. Ihi virtue is restfulness Its danger, mo notony. Many find an agreeable compromise In having the walls of the living room plain, with many pictures, the bed room d&lntlly panelled, with creotonne, matching in pattern the flower festoons which border the panellings, and li brary and dining-room In frelze effect, with plate rail and book-cases. Here indeed we have that variety which is the "sDice of life." ?CeVZTD HGHSSrAWAKD. PAAIAMC ffCAAf EXPOSTOf.

Bartlett, 715 West Euclid Avenue, Dear Sir: I am pleased to send you a sample df the most wonderful paint ever discovered; the most all around serviceable paint yet produced. And when I offer to sell you Powdrpaint at a saving of 75 per cent in cost a paint that outwears, outlasts and covers what would require two coats of almost any ready-mixed oil paints, you can easily understand why I am doing THE paint business of America. Property owners have waked up to the fact that Powdrpaint is ALL paint, that the water used to mix it dries out in an hour or two and leaves a hard, smooth, durable, clean and presentable finish that is even better than oil paint for almost any surface where paint can be used, yet costs only about 25 per cent of what lead and oil paint would cost. I am putting Powdrpaint on the market on its own wonderful merit. I am recommending it as a high class, durable, serviceable, practical, economical paint. I am backed in this by thousands who have used it for years on buildings of all kinds and THEIR WORD IS GOOD. If you want to paint a building and only pay for paint, buy Powdrpaint, save a lot of money, and at the same time get a paint you will be proud of. Simply because all the general stores are loaded with ready-mixed oil paints of all grades is no reason why you should not be alive to the new way of painting-'-the new paint that lasts, that dont wear off, that dont peel, that isn't affected by the sun, wind or rain, that can't freeze, that preserves the surface from decay and in every sense of the word is the economical paint friend for everyone who owns property of any kind. As a practical paint man, I have written the enclosed book which tells all about the use of Powdrpaint and also answer about every question you can think of. Read it carefully. I will be glad to answer any letter of inquiry .you may send. Try the sample for any purpose you wish paint. It is easy to estimate amoumt required by following suggestions given on page 14. Remember that I am the discoverer of Powdrpaint,. manufacture it and am personally responsible for the quality and reputation of what is proving the greatest paint discovery ever made. John L. White, No. 720 Polk St., Topeka, Kansas sells Powdrpaint and will be pleased to fill your order. I trust you will call at the above ad dress and purchase at least a trial quantity at your earliest convenience. Booklet and and sample have .been mailed separately. Should the package not reach you safely, drop me a card and I will send duplicate at once. Yours very truly.

As the. sole representative for this district, covering Shaw nee, Osag-e, Lyon, Coffey, Morris, Gray, Wabaunsee, Pottawat omie, Riley, Jackson, Atchison, Jefferson, Douglas and Franklin Counties, neither myself or Powdrpaint needs any introduction in Topeka. As hundreds of property owners of this city are us ing and recommending Powdrpaint. As for myself anyone that knows me would neither question my integrity or any proposi tion I take hold of. I was for years one of the best known paint men in Western Illinois, having handled all kinds of paint in every capacity. Powdrpaint is no new idea with me, as I give it a thorough test for three years before I would touch it or offer to sell a pound of it. Not only that I made a special trip to the most trying climate on paint in the U. S., where I saw Powdrpaint that had been in use for 5 years and after seeing what a severe test Powdrpaint had gone through I at once recognized the fact that Powdrpaint was the coming paint and it is today used in every civilized country on the globe and is saving the prop erty owners of this country hundreds of thousands of dollars annually Under usual conditions I believe it the most practical all purpose paint made. There are some requirements that Powdrpaint is not adapted for so if I am advised as the condi tion of the surface to be painted I will tell you if Powdrpaint is the best paint to use. FOR OUTSIDE USE I do not hesitate to say that jowdrpamt has no equal as a primer on new or old lumber for an paint finish or as a finish over old oil paint where on good and smooth. Also as a preservative of weather beaten houses, barns, out buildings, fences, etc. There is no paint known that is half as durable as Powdrpaint for waterproofing and preserving brick houses and cement block buildings, and all shingle roofs should be painted with Powdrpaint as it is abso lutely fire proof. INTERIOR FINISH Powdrpaint is a Superior Wall Finish, for plastered on Sand Finished walls and ceilings, and for tint ing old wall paper when in smooth condition. The beautiful velvet finish of Powdrpaint is so rich and pleasing as to make it preferable to glossy oil paint or paper and the expense is really too cheap to remember, besides it makes a permanent wall finish that will not soften or fade with age like Kalsomine or Alabastine and can be repainted or papered years hence without the expense of removing the paint or sizing the walls. Therefore Powdrpaint is many times better, durability considered than any other wall coating that can be used, and cost less than cheap wall paper. Call for Sample and Color Card. JOHN L.

The turn-back cuffs, known as the French cuffs, will be quite as popular in soft materials as. last summer. These negligees can be purchased in various materials for from $2.50 to 55.00. Another garment which will meet with much favor is the sllk-and-llsle, made up soft, in solid colors and stripes, with the turn-back cuffs and detachable collars. These look quite as well as pure silk, and mar be bought from $3 up. These soft shirts will doubtless out class the semi-stiff ones six to one during the coming season.

Not unlike the Persian scrolls are four-in-hands of Japanese silk in "but terfly" designs. These will doubtless become quite popular, and will be made up in Ascot shape a little later. One of the newest and most striking color combinations In these big scarfs is known as "smoke" and red. Ties of solid colors will not be ranting, either royal, purple, dark greens, blues and reds In numerous hades will be worn plentifully. The 'lasket weave In attractive stripe com binations will sell largely In the less rpenalve ties. Some Imported English neckwear Is ?olng to attract considerable-attention and will doubtless become very popu lar with men who pay particular at tention to this dress accessory. These include the Splttalsfleld and the Mac clesfield silks, made up for the most part In Persian designs, with wide flowing ends. Fancy rests, which were not much in evidence last year, will be very largely worn until the beat of summer induces the wearing of two-piece suits. These will be made of linen, silk, crash and other materials. A new one, that Is quite a novelty, Is of Angora goat fur. Contrary to what might be ex pected, this Is well adapted to spring wear, for It Is almost feather-weight;, It Is made without lining and shows the animal's hair long and fuzzy. This garment is generally gray; but If It meets with approval. It will appear la various colors. A nice line of handkerchiefs has been provided for spring and summer, showing colors hi profusion. A nov elty In this line, that is not apt to meet with general favor. Is of red silk, pat terned after the old-fashioned ban danna that the American farmer Is popularly supposed to carry In his hat. A white silk handkerchief, with black polka dots, promises to sell largely; so does a fine white IrlsS linen with colored borders In contrast stripes. Others are made la scroll de signs; and some of light blues and lavenders are particularly adapted to the seasons of violets and roses. Haberdashers generally throughout the country report enormous sales of "guarantee" socks that is, footwear guaranteed to last six months, with ordinary wear.. Several brands of these were placed on the market and largely advertised for the winter trade. Their sale throughout the holiday sea son was fairly phenomenal so much so, that the manufacturers have been encouraged to make the same brands In lights weights for spring and sum mer. As a role, these sell at two dol lars for six pairs, and dealers have been keeping their word as to substi tuting new ones for those which havs not kept up to the requisitions. I am told that about one-twelfth per cecC are returned. The soft collar win not be In evi dence this summer. It has been ta booed as untidy la appearance, and very few haberdashers are putting It In stock. The old-fashioned, comfort able low collar, formerly worn chiefly by stout men, will be a general fa vorite this season; It will not be neo essary for a, man to choke himself In the hot weather with a high, starched nwckyoke, '--Ji 1 a t tt?. a (cnrHHTny pit nNnPTTTTTT?
