grown historic, and the lady who
would shutldcr at the mention of "roll-

ish lace both black and white, in quail
tics not more expensive than high
priced grenadinc, is in great favor,
while for white lace dresses we see the

and in her sanctum of villa life, the
lady who had grandfather wears a
morning wool of pretcntious plainness
beholding afar Oft the Saratoga wou,an
who begins by ten O'Clock her daily ex-
hibitions. Pretentious in its plainness
is that wool. The tailor-stitch show
ing modestly, as likewise the severe
linen collar and gold button. Jewclry
is al abhorrcncc; betanglement an
offence. This avoidance of tjewelry is
indeed a feature of the time. The
jingling bracelet, the earring, have
gone to keep company with the "set, %

the pretty triflcs i'll lace pins which re-
placed the brooch are growing UNI
fashionable, yet they are not paraded
as formerly. Jewellers are saving
themselves by an evening gorgeous

that before long glitter on some New
port neck. Strings of pearls glow
with softer yet very fashionable
light, while to atone for abstinence in
daytime, the stylish ear is radiant with
some grand, peculiar solitaire, more
valuable if associated with an ancient
superstition or magnetic charm. Cats
eyes are therefore in great demand ;
Alcxandrites, green by day and red by
night, are unique enough to please,
