Prophecies of coming'style* for spring are not a matter of wo rds—they appear In the collections matte ready for merchants and for tourists who go South in search of spring weather. In th* great markets of the country and in the parade of fashion at famous resorts, new styles are in review, 'and many of them are destined to appear later In'all parts of these United State*. However, no one cares to make selection'of important summer frocks until all the new things are on display, but simple morning or day dresses may b* made ready now. so Chat there will be no rush or worry when warm days call us out of doors. Stylists tell us that plain, high colred linens—ln soft reds, buff, blue and <ht green, henna and light brown—-

skillfully made and new shades appear tn plain materials. Fullness at the sffiffi and front, panels and aprons, adfeved by plaits and shirrings, and tucking at the hips, promise fuller skirts which are flared by varied means, but all from a low waistline or below the knees. K From present indications neckwear is increasing in importance and coming in for even more attention than it has just now. So long as practical day brasses remain simple and almost unadorned they must look to small finishing touches and accessories, to lift them above the level of the commonplace. The new frocks presented recently for spring. In tailored and informal types, are as simple as those that have been so successful for wii>

Chic Fashions in Late Sports Togs

Th* very latest phase In fashion, a reflection of the social activities of the day, is the dress for winter sport* It is picturesque, unique and often amusing. In many ways, says a fashion correspondent In the New York Times, the trend of the day is countryward, which creates a need for distinction In dress of various kind* In the days when city people found their pleasure wholly within walls, the calling of a creator of fashions must have been comparatively simple. However elaborate the gowns of a great lady. It went without saying that she would at all times dress in a manner consistently feminine. Artists put much skill and Industry, and their patrons fabulous sums, sometimes, Into splendid ball gowns, charming afternoon frocks and formal tea gowns and a tailor who knew his trade had the most difficult task of all in building a plain tailored suit for the streets “Fit,” which meant enclosing the lady in something almost as snug as her own skin, was the most Important consideration some decades ago, as the pictures in fashion book* show, and the modiste employed much crinoline, whalebone and steel. A great deal of thought was given to millinery and footwear, and the whole scheme of things Involved much detail, the finest workmanship" and a great deal of money, as money was counted In grandmother’s young ladyhood. When she went sleighing, she was wrapped In furs over the most modish frock and bonnet. When she skated. It was in a costume whose architecture displayed a figure as tightly molded in stays as it appeared in her most elaborate evening gown. In those days any tailor was entrusted with the making of a skating suit, and for that matter many of them were obviously homemade affairs. Sports Clothes Favored. In the span of two generations dress has been revolutionized, and femininity is expressed in terms of a boyish silhouette, in a figure guiltless of stays, in trousers, boots and cardigan* The debutante is an athlete, the young daughter a tomboy and the successful couturier must make this type the keynote of his endeavor. The finer fabric* flannel* broadcloth, camel’s-halr and cashmere are now for woman’s activities. Her tailor works today in English material* in Scotch tweeds and homespun* In Highland tartan* In buckskin and suede. Innumerable homely stuffs and accessorie* once looked upon as bourgeol* are receiving respectful attention. and one by one appear as something choice* and rare. Such lowly garments as knitted jacket* mufflers and woolen skirts that were associated with the farm are now thought chic and represent the type of thing designated as sports dres* It is the fad of the day to feature the peasant’s garment, and the more crude it Is the more decorative and smart. One’s modiste presents the crocheted “shawl.” the sleeveless jacket (originally called cardigan) and the knitted socks of yarn as the last word In smartness for a sportswoman's outfit. These" very things are not confined to sports dotlie* for their comfortable appeal has found its way to the luxury-loving person who seldom stirs beyond wall* Mmether the argument is for ease or Wr the pleasant consciousness of being In style appears not to signify, for they are unmistakably modish. Anticipating a bit the actual season of winter sport* th* department stores and smaller shops havp had on display

Shimmer, more shapely than any •ports clothes ever before designed are some particularly fascinating suits among the latest model* In one of white Kasha cloth, of which the breeches are tnade. the sweater Is in white wool, with a band of “lightning" pattern knitted in black and vermilion around the body, on the upper arm and at the wrist. Woolen stockings showing above calf-skin boots have a cuff rs the colored knitted wool, and a white tam covers a “boyish bob.” In another artistic outfit, tn white, the sports skirt Is of brilliantly striped yellow flannel, and a loose jacket cut hip-length is lined with leopard fur, of which the skating tap also is made. The sweaters are important and unusually striking. Stripe* perpendicular and horizontal, are very popular, andrsome of the smartest models are embellished with large checks* and other fancy figure* The wool scarfs that are especially designed for sports costumes are beautiful. r|eh and bright tn color. In these bold patterns deep fringes are shown, and they are woven

Tunic Mode; Fabrics of All Kinds

Th* line of the coat-frock is straight and generally tunle-like tn appearance. The most popular line with exclusive modistes to the tong tunic buttoned from neck to bem, and worn over a black foundation (usually satin). This foundation should just show about four inches below the contrasting colored tunle. AH kinds of fabrics are selected, this mode appearing just as successful in kasha or serge as in satin or crepe. The tunic part of the dress to th* center of interest. This may button high to the throat, with a row of cr/slai ball buttons running from neck to hem. or be finished with an oval neckline showing either a collar OF B btlldiXlS nF braids are popular. The practical model favors a Meer* which Hr-hrt ftt *

from time to time suit* single garments and ensembles in the smartest sports costume* They are more important, having more of style, service and individual appeal than any clothe* of this type yet shown. They are far ahead of last year’s style* which were then considered to be outre. A few of the lovely things brought from Paris indicate the trend for outdoor winter clothe* without regard tc fitness for specific occasion* Among these Is a particularly attractive example of the knitted dres* It consists of a three-quarter length coat of black and white zephyr wool crocheted in a fine close stitch, one stripe being ail whit* the other black, each two and one-half inches wide The collar Is wide and. voltfminou* to stand high and fold over, and the coat fastens with wool frogs down the front The turn-back cuffs are wide, and a fringe edges the bottom of the coat This is one of the most engaging examples of black and white in striking combination that has been shown this season. It is a garment to be worn over any dres* for a stroll, a drive or short outing in the country. There is a knitted skirt of black and white stripes to match the coat if a twopiece suit is desired, and a scarf that will combine with the suit or serve separately. Black and White Used. In this black and white scheme are many stunning suits —two-piece, threepiece and separate garment* A charming little winter dress is made of white kasha cloth in one piece. The stitched seam that joins skirt to bodice in an ornamental line and cuffs and collar are outlined with a row of small, dull black buttons close together. This frock, which has no other trimming, is original and chic and is intended, in its slim- simplicity, to be worn under an overwrap of cloth or fur. In the same collection is a frock of white broadcloth cut in a straight silhouette. with a pattern in yellow cloth introduced in points and slender panel* Another model is done in gray kasha duvetyn, over which is worn a eoat of gray rodier material with deep skirt band, collar and cuffs of kit fox and lining of silver gray brocaded cpGpe. In gayer moods is a three-piece spit of brown tweed, strictly tailored. r The overblouse is a combination of vivid scarlet orange, black and brown, and the three-quarter eoat is made of the plain tweed, with scarf of th* same lined with bright orange silk. Since colored stockings have become the rage, many pretty patterns are shown. The sheer chiffons are in flesh, peach, apricot, amber and beige, usually plain and thin as gossamer. Black and white is smart, but black is seldom seen except in the lacy open-work and embroidered stocking* In the woolen stockings that are now smart for th* street and sports wear are many engaging styles—check* diagonal* stripes and the plain woolens embroidered with fancy clock* For the less gentle country life, the sports and strenuous doings of the athletic element, a definite type of co* turn* is shown, models representing designs from many artists of renown in Paris. The creators of styles are departing from their accepted metier in adapting their art to sports clothes for American* These are similar to those In vogue at the Continental resorts, or are reproduced with a fine sense of proportion and are undeniably chic. Women’s sports tog* to be comm* 11 faut. are almost exactly like men’s—more so this season than ever before Real sportswomen go in for a costume far more extreme than has before been shown.

or knitted in ample width and length for comfort and protection. The cut of the newest breeches is along lines close to the figure, and the stockings for snow sports are heavy and long. White Chiffon Silver Brocade A frock from Pari* which would not be difficult to copy, is made ot white chiffon with a border of silvei brocade bn the skirt and a panel “on the waist which almost covers the back and extends around the front where ft ties In a flat bow on the left side. The border on the skirt Is at least 12 inches deep. Dancing Frocks A few very quaint dancing frocks are made of stiff, shiny black satin with a certain crinkled effect. They are usually combined with gold doth. Replacing Scarf Furs tied about the throat like cravats are very swagger and are taking the place of the silk scarf.

She was almost a ’young lady’ now and Biddle was an old cat “Oh. Biddle didn’t care much about adventures as he once had. He didn’t care to wander and play as he had when he was only a silly, playful little kitten. “He liked to sit In a big chair which was always called Biddle's chair, and there he would sleep—though when the family told visitors of some of the » wonderful things Biddle did he always half-blinked his eyes and listened t« what was being said about him. “His family had moved from th< tbouse where they had lived for | great many -year* They had gone t< another house in the same town and Biddle had waited until the last of th, furniture had been moved before h, went along too. “He was quite willing to go with them.

He seemed to be thinking very hard. “Suddenly he got up from his chair. Suddenly he moved, though for a long time he had always moved very carefully. very slowly. "With a tremendous spurt he had jumped up and had bounded out of the house with all his one-time youthful springiness. - “He dashed across the street and out of sight.
