so strict are some very high authorities In
this matter that they will not allow their
watch chains 90 be visible, and consider
bracelets with linen cuffs the last sign OF
Ignorance and vulgarity.
Small matter as the linen cuff seems 20 be,
IL has exercised q remarkable infiuenc upon
sensible fashions. IL has kept its place In
spite OF attempted changes. Il preserves 10
us the comfort and decency OF a close, pro-
tective sleeve for ordinary wear, aud tends
TO establish among US permanent ideas in
those everyday matters OF dress In which
they are most required.
The square scarf aud square neckerchief
appear In elaborate forms, OF cream-colored
lace and ivory white silk, trimmed with
broad torchaSe, cashmere lace or imitation
print. The softness and delicacy OF this
finish TO the toilette is very becoming, aud a.
