The silk and satin finish clothe Are so attractive this year aud o ve11 fit - ten for all the present faoltione that they aro itt great demand, and the silk cloth gown copied after the latest vel- vet model la sure to be satisfactory. Euthroidery on cloth is quite as effec- tive as on velvet, aod braiding shows to even greater advantage. There are many different kinds of braid, wide, narrow, flat and round, that are used, and often, two and three will be cora. hilted, while all fancy braids with touch- es of color, gold or silver, are most eat- isfaetory. For spring receptions enel for the cool days of summer, which always have to be provided for, these cloth' Peelle are'eharming. Gray in all shades ia most popular this year, and the light Bilvery or pearl shade.', with embroidery to match, make most fascinating anti be- coming gowns. Tho woman who looks well in a collarless gave; and. elm is in the minority, has such a, gown made with yoke of the finest net or lace, and a ltigh transparentcolter to match is added by the woman who realizes that she look's far better then with_ her throat exposed. Fine laees as. well as sheer net are now used for yokes and collarsnin thesesame cloth gowns in place of the tucked and heavy laeoyoke fashionable for so long a time. Flesh color tulle end net yokes and collars, which give the same effect as if no col- lar were worn, and yet which are more becoming, are to be noted in some of the more elaborate gowns. Sleeves require eereful oonesideration, eor the fashion therein changes otter and suddenly. The separate undersleere With its finish or band of lace is charm- ingly daiuter and so becoming that it is to be hoped he fashion will endure. It ia extremely popular at the moment. The double sleeve is a marked feature in the new gowns ,and If the under- eleeve be counted there are often three sleeves, each a little longer than the oth- er. The tndency is toward a wider, lar- ger sleeve, and the puffed undersleeve showing under the kimono sleevs is an indication that very effort is beiug made to bring back the large sleeve, large above the elbow at all events. The ki- mono sleeve is essential to happiness, apparently, for there are few waists, whether for day or evening, that are not so ' made. Fortunately it has at- tained a perfection that makes it more becoming. Brocade Evening Gowns. The popularity of the broeede and fig - urea crepe evening gowns will carry thern well into the summer. Indeed, the.se two fabrics are nowadays con. sidered suitable at all seasons of the. year. So soft and clinging are the bro- cades of to -day that there is no model in the most exaggerahed Enapire or Din ectotre. fashion that cannot be =Oen oub in this ever beautiful and so ef- fective textile; brocade does not de- mand any elaboration .of trimming, Its do the plain silks and satins, which is another decided point in its favor. A novel feature of the newest even- ing gowns le a band of some striking dark color finishing the decolletage at the neck. Black or dark brown tulle is used in this manner on many of the upink and blue and other lighter din- ner dresses, while on one most effcco five black evening bodice this band was of cerise velvet. To softeo the line ageing the tbrottt a filling of flesh col- ored tulle may be placed in a gown of ally shade. New Color Effects, Wonderfully effective evening gowns for the spring and early summer are now being fashioned from the ball and dineer gowns of last winter by simply Covering the old setin or silk with a tunic of chiffon or the splendidly sten vicereine marquisette. The overdress may bear no relation at all to the original shade of the dives, btet if the color be too strong a contrast the chiffon must eover the foundation entirely and not be still* draped over part of the dress. By the placing of two absolutely unlike tones one ou top of the other many new exquisitely artistic colors are frequent- ly obtained. Pale salmon pink and brick ren are, for •eloemple, two toned that .4•61N111 F1IPE CHERRIES ON THIS SPRING HAT.

Dutch collara remain in lower, though the newest ones open lovver itt trout than those to which we have been aeettatoreed. These collars are to be had iri all grades and thicknesses; of linen, plain, beautifully embroidered and trimmed with laca. nome of the new collars are very large, and they vary greatly in shade and deeeration. The square sailor baok which came Into favor last summer and has been in evidence among the winter coat eollate anrt frock collars, is sent in force among the adjustable embroidered collars and shows innumerable enodificatioes. Openwork ham' embroidery enters in- to a. large number of these handsome wide collars, ern oilier is frequently in- troduced both into the separate collars end into the collen; and cuff sets-. Narrower collars or rather collars narrower in the baek and with no hint of tailor shape are both small and large. One finds the genuine Byronic shape in stiff linen rolling away from the, throat. What, by the way, evi.11 lauodresees and laundrymen do with this and other rolled, stiff collars which would low: their style entirely if press- ed flat? Narrow plain or embroidered collars abaped like the ordinary coat collar, but snraller then the collars of the coat sets, are numeroun and there are all sorts of arrangements, half -Mae, half -colla; which would form all the trimming a simple morning tub frock would need. Big collars entirely of fine tucking, with plain border or- with Mee border, are liked, and therenere scores of pretty sheer collars daintily inset with fine lace and delicately embroidered. Imported collar and cuff seta for coatis or tailored bodices in rather pro- nouneed wbite and black striper silk, are seen the black and white stripes of egusil width, bordered by heavy lace of from two to three incases in width and trimmed in little black buttons. LINES—AND LINES. Latest Kink for Fastening the Velvet Throat Band. While the straightest and simplest and most youthfunlooking frocks are still being worn and are, in fact and io fashion still in the ascendant, yet it is possible' for the "dame du Monde" of to -day to robe herself in the more im- portant and shapely attire whick is probably better sited to her own style. Simplicity, however, can always be vastly attractive and distinguished when well made. and gowns or tailor-mades, fashioned with this as the dominant note, are sure of scoring a complete enc. cess. One all-important little detail of at- tire, and a charming one, too, is a dec- orative companion for the downeturned collar, or the entirely collarless corsage; ib consists mainly of an encircling band of blade velvet baby ribbon, worn high up on the throat. The fastening, direct- ly under the left ear, is concealed by a spray of tiny flowers and leaves of close. ly folded and cleverly shaded silk. A similar ornament, with a wider ribbon, It being One which is eapanle of so many devices and developments, is sometimes worn in the hair. .111,...••••••••• LACE ON HATS. Sten it?

Continued cola weather has ant- ed against increase in the volume of spring trade moving and in some lines there is cemplaint to the effect that lausine,ss is hardly up to that of Mt year. It is in dry goods, millinery and clothing that these complaints are most- ly heard. In hardware and metals, in groceries and moot lines of business, the volume of trade seems to be keeping up very well. Factories generally are busy and the country, as a whole, seems; to be decidedly prosperous. Toronto reports to Bradstreet's; say the actual movement of trade continues to be affected by the unseasonable wea- ther. There is, however, a very fair business moving in all lines and pros- pects for later business are good. In dry goods and millinery, retail trade is only fair and wholesale business is, fig 0, consequence., hardly as brisk as it might be. It is felt. however, that with the arrival of warm weather a good brisk trade will open out. Most lines are firm in tone. Some unsteadiness is noted for cottone, and as a result buy- ers are inclined to hold off. Winnipeg reporte say retail business is showing a better tone in all parts of the west. The movement in hardware and groceries is active and an excellent season's business is confidently looked forward to. Large quantities of freight are now moving throughout the coun- try and with the opening of navigation on the lakea heavy shipments will be- gin to arrive. The hardware trade is particularly brisk. Vancouver and Victoria reports say business continues good here and at all provincial points. Orders for general merehandise are well distributed and generally for good parcels. Great ctc- tivity in mining at up coast points is expected to be reflected in large orders for supplies here. Retail trade is of fair proportion and prospects for later busi- ness are bright. Collections aro fair. Money is in good demand. Hamilton reports say trade is gener- ally steady and of fair proportions con- sidering the unseasonable weather. The demand for general merchandise is gen- erally. active. Local industries are ac- tively engaged and it has been announc- ed that there are excellent prospects for the erection of several new factories; and plants, which will mean touch to the growth of this city.. Wholesalers report the outlook for business good. London reports say general business there is steady In tone and its volume is well up to expeetations. Ottawa reports say business there has shown slight improvement during the past week. CROPS ARE GOOD Conditions in the Canadian Northwest Are Most Satisfactory, Wheat Doing Well and Much New Land Broken This Season, Winnipcl, Man., A.piet 3. --Careful investigation by local grain exchange members, by men, and reports from Minneapolis and Chicago, 'show most eatiefactory agricultural conditions in the Canadian west to -day. Fall wheat is reported to be in excel- lent shave both in Northern ami South- ern Alberta, ha.ving come through the winter well. There is considerable in- tro.:se in acreage. Experiments with fall wheat in some parts of Manitoba are also promising. The open cuaracter of last fail result- ed ill a big amount of fall plowing, though this would have been still fur- ther increased had it not been for Om. tinned drought. But heavy and frequent snow falls which have had it chance' to soak well in have removed this dan- ger. It is difficult to estimate how much new lend was broken last year ready for seeding this spring, but the area must heve been very 'considerable, es, pfeeiaIly Saskatchewan, where en. tirely new districts 10.1re been brought under the plow. Speaking by districts estimator Of inereased acreage to be ;seeded to tpriug wheat run from ten all the way up to fifty per cent.
