patterns.
MISUNDERSTANDING, resembling Smyrna
rugs, the loosely woven Decca and
Bombay shawls, and heavy Turkish
wraps of all kinds are. now utilized as
drapings to- low easy-chairs and sofas,
table-cOvers.and scarfs, and also for lam
brequins,sofa cushions and tides. These
wraps are now selling at greatly reduced
rates, and "Bagdad" shawl from Low
ell, Mass, made into mantle lambrequin,
table scarf and tidy, with fringe or braid
for the edges included, will cost no more
than lambrequin alone bought ready
made of the same Bagdad material as

obChina crepe neckerchiefs, with bright
flowers printed on cream-tinted, pale
gray, Persian mauve.A sky-blue and
shrimp pink grounds, with ,edgihgsJof
silk blonde lace, the patterns outlined
with silk floss the color of the kerchief,
are worn over evening dresses of India
silk muslin or China crepe, these dainty
neck dressings matching in every case
the shade of the dress overy which they
are worn. The cOrsage is cut square in
the neck and quite low, and the kerchiefs
are used to veil the opening thus made,
giving an unusually dressy look to the
Easement or heart-shaped corsage.

expensive caps are made Of fice1le net in
hairpin work, witha fcelle lace border

surah of q becoming shade, and Others
have narrow black velvet. ribbon run
through the openings in the net, with a
cluster of velvet loops on one side. Ex-
cept for very old persons, black lace is
now seldom used for breakfast caps.
Pleated batiste of finest quality is a
favorite material for morning use, caps
of this material being simply made in
mob shape, with a bit of narrow lace
edging forming a becoming border.
