in her cupboard" "No, sir; it is only

covering for ladies is the sandal. It is
real sandal, for it is described as =" shoe
with set of lattice bars across it," Of

They say that with it "The most i'm
maculate stocking, after ten minutes

wearer. They have given name to the
stylish walk induced by the sandal, and
call it the "Chinese hobble."

one of the stage dresses of Mile. Sarah
Bernhardt. It is half a yard in depth
and is sort of lace, or rather fire
passementerie, composed entirely of
small imitation pearls. This rich and
elaborate trimming was made to order
from design by the artist-actress her
self, and it's cost is $50 per yard. A mar
row passementerie to match has been
made for the waist of the dress; this is
oonoparativaIv reasonable its ,rioo ha;po.
