that are in the Kate Greenaway style.
Shell hair-pins with glittering
Rhine-stones in the carved end are
worn as ornaments thrust through
the coils of the coils of the back
hair.
A light wood dressing-table was
prettily decorated with wide dotted
Swiss in two long pieces, which
were gathered at the top of the
mirror and fell gracefully over the
sides. The top was ornamented by
a bow of pale blue ribbon.
Bureau covers, pincushion covers,
and catchalls are made Of Pompa-
dour embroidery on sheer muslin
over colored satin, and also of Val
enciennes lace.
SCARF COVERS FOR SIDE BOARDS. -
Scarf covers for sideboards and for
dining room side tables, are made
of fine gray crash with broad band
on each end, of embroidetl felt or
plush, the heading deep fringe of
gray macreme cord either knotted
or crotcheted.
English women use waist or cor
set cover of silk or silesia, to which
their heavy cloth or velvet dress skirt
is sewed permanently, so that all the
weight is suspended from the should
ers. The preference here is for
shoulder-straps of strong coutille
binding that pass over the shoulders
and are hooked into the belt of the
heavy skirt of the dress.
A serviceable match-holder may
be made for the hall chandelier by
crotcheting small bag of pink and
white crochet cotton and fitting in
it a goblet from which the handle
has been broken. Two tassels should
depend from the bottom and pretty
twisted cord fasten to the chande-
lier.
Pretty school-bags can be made
out of piece OF dark merino. The
underside may be of merino or some
other material embroidered with the
monogram of the owner on the out
side in floss silk and lined with sile-
STA, putting an inside pocket. on both
sides.
"A shoe-bag is a very handy
article for a bedroom. A tasteful
one car be made of some pretty
ichintz. Cut piece half yard wide
\ and two-thirds of a yard long, bind
is with scarlet BRAID, and put on a
smaller piece for the pockets, stitch
ing in three divisions, the smallest
in the center for slippers, The most
convenient place for this article is to
nail it on the inside of the closet
door.
Jewellers are pleased to announce
for the benefit of all whom it may
concern, that diamond earrings are
no longer set firmly to the ear, but
are allowed to swing slightly, the
motion adding, of course, to the
sparkle. The stones are set in just
as little gold as possible to hold them,
so as not to detract from their shape
and color.
A favorite style of jewelry is Of
nugget-fnished gold with scattered
Jewels imbedded in rough surface.
Handsome bracelets are formed by
uniting the roughly sleeve-buttons Of
this style are well liked in the form
of trefoil. For a scarf-pin little
sword with richly jeweled hill
is style of which few young men
are ashamed.
The hair is gradually being
worn higher, and "shingled bangs
are the latest style. For these front
hair over the forehead is cut in three
different lengths, regularly graded.
After this has been done bushy
effect is produced by putting the
hair up loosely in curl papers once
a week, or oftener if required. Then
each time the hair is dressed the
layers must be separated and com
bed up and down.
New dark silk umbrellas imported
for ladies have small bag-like purse
permanently attached to the handle
