IMPORTANCE OF THE
NEW SCARVES.
The scarf is one of the most important features in the spring fashions. There is not a drose display that does not include the scarf in ovory glass of garment. Suite, topcoats, frocks, afternoon gowns, evening gowns, all adopt the scarf idea and adapt it to their own individual lines.
First of all thoro is the scarf collar.
This has been with us in a timid way for overal seasons past, but it has been, till this ROBSON, a rather conservative affair, which would scarcely wrap once about the nook. The now scarf is fully 12 inches wide and, bolag of the soft wool valours, it drapes prettily as it is wrapped twico about the nock,
Loose Hoa TVUN appear with afternoon gowns, and very often one finds one of the long printed scarves which the silk makers have designed in brilliant colours and intricate patterns worn with a black or a neutral-toned gown. The evening HCLIVES are capable of just as individual treatmont, but they differ in being of some diaphanous silk, chiffon, crepe chiffon, or tullo. They enshroud the bare shoul- dors, and make soft, foamy drapery about the neckline. They aro. becoming to everyone, and particularly to the woman who is a little too slim.
The woman who knows how to dress will be guided by hor own tasto, which will teach her to diapose the scarf in ways which harmonise with the lines of the frock and lines which are becom ing to her particular face and Aguro.
The tailored blouse sketched is especially smart because of ils buttoned front opening, slit perkets and slightly fitted lines.
Blouses intended for dress, wer are of heavy silka, frequently figural, and show Buch charming variations as the narrow collar, turning into ties in buck. A wide belt and kash add to the graceful lines of this blouse.
THE LINGERIE DRAWER.
Many women make their own lingerie, and so acquire, at small cost, quite genorous piles of garmonts, pleasant to woar and gratifying to think about, rosting nostly in their particular drawer.
Hore is an idea that wil help to keep up thai neat standard.
Buy enough ribbon of your about two favourito colour, inches wide, and measure, it out into bands sufficiently long to tio round each pilo.
Put a pretty bow in the middle of each band, or work a small design or your initial on it. Tho name of the garments it is to Burround can be embroidered if you are feeling vory industrious.
The largest band will hold your nightlos together, another your i cami-knioks, and so on, down to two'small ones, one for bost and the other for everyday hankios. And by taking the bottom garment to wear, and putting the cloon one from the laundry on the top. the wear will be kept oven, which is always advisable.

FLOUNCES FOLLOW LINE OF SILHOUETTE.

With so much emphasis being placed on the ponci?". silhouette, designers are favouring gowns with flat trimmings which do not break the silhouette outline.

PARIS TURNS TO OSTRICH PLUMES.
Birds of a feather ought to. flock together and draw up a petition, urging Fashion to placo some restriction on the uso of their plumage.
For Paris has suddenly gone mad about feathers. And the way she is using them is going to make heavy drains on the winged. population.
Gowns and capes are composed almost entirely of misty flues. And the way hats, frocks, parasols, lingerie, «lippors, garters and even handkerchiefs are using it is alarming.
