is tlio silk gown taffeta, foulard or a

of all, two ehades of grey. • The design

The silk and satin finish clothe Are
so attractive this year aud o ve11 fit -

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.

es of color, gold or silver, are most eat-

have to be provided for, these cloth'

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

ingly daiuter and so becoming that it is

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

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

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

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

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

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-

wide collars, ern oilier is frequently in-
troduced both into the separate collars

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

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

trimmed in little black buttons.

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,

BRADSTREET'S TRADE REVIEW
Montreal reports to Bradstreet's Bay
there has been little change, be the buil.
ness 'situation there during the past
week. 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

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

ern Alberta, ha.ving come through the

tro.:se in acreage. Experiments with fall
wheat in some parts of Manitoba are
also promising.

ed ill a big amount of fall plowing,
though this would have been still fur-

snow falls which have had it chance'

ger.
