THE JUMPER.

There is no doubt whatever that in the near future we shall see the end of the jumper, for in Paris its days are already numbered, and nearly- all the new country and sports models are finished with skirts and tuck-in blouses. These suits are made with short coats, and skirts, are usually pleated, and have a belt of the same material. «. BOWS AND RUFFLES. Bows and ruffles will be worn in profusion on spring and summer frocks. Some of the advance fashion plates show frocks as frilly and feminBelts are tied in a bow on the hip; ine as any young woman could want, collars are tied in a loose knot at the neck; there are flyaway bows on the shoulder; jabots and long falling ruffles are seen on innumerable frocks and skirts are pleated or flounced or flared. Flares are specially fashionable. ANSWERING INVITATIONS. “Plain Ann” asks how soon one must reply to an invitation. The answer is as soon as possible. It is etiquette to accept or decline an invitation to dinner by return post. Invitations to balls and receptions are sent out usually three or four weeks in advance of the date, and a reply should be sent within a week. SMART SHOES. A deep warm brcwn is a colour gaining in popularity every day, and is used for evening as well as afternoon gowns. It is frequently found in company with a bright yellow. With an outfit of this kind brown antelope shoes should be worn. The latest shoe *nodel is of ths Langtry type, with a ian-shaped ornament of the antelope ieather.
