Little boys suits are now trimmed
with many parallel rows Of buttons. 1t
gives the dear children something to
play with. and they produce new effects
every day or two by picking off q fresh
group of assorted ornaments. and stow
ing them away in their pockets or losing
them altogether.
Velvet sashes are to be lined and
finished at the end like purses with .
tassel. This gives q charming Oriental
effect and makes simple ribbon sash
look stiff and wooden. Black velvet.
lined with Roman scarf, is nothing
short of bewitching, especially when
worn with a cream white.
Tinsel embroidery, not only in flower
patterns, following the design of the
material, but in scrolls and arabesques
quite independent of it, is seen on many
of the new bonnet laces.
Leashing the frock on the shoulder so
as to show puffs of lace or plain surfaces
of q second material beneath is the newest
device. 1t is rather pretty in gala-day
costume, provided the material which
is seen at the slashings is also. visible in
the skirt. so as to carry out the idea Of
an underdress.
"a witticism at breakfast would be
out of place" says the Bazar, in a little
dissertation on dinners. This ought to
be comfort to dyspeptics. but a
healthy person can give and take clever
things at breakfast as well as at dinner.
English housekeepers seem to have
liberal ideas about bedquilts, unless the
indications given by the English papers
be entirely incorrect, for they sanction
anything from a sheet bordered with
Turkey red to lace curtain silk-lined,
embroidered in all the colors of the rain
bow, and ruffled and rosetted as to its
border. Swansdown cloth, worked with
tufts to initiate miniver and bordered
with ermine tails is recommended as

The new lead shades are Just far
enough from the cadet and Shaker

The modern manufacturer is the most
artful of creatures, with more tints in
his list than a cashmere shawl weaver.
There has been q slight revival of the
talk about healthful dress lately, and
the commentator Of the Princess frock,
because all of its weight depends from
the shoulder. is again on its rounds.
Now the weight Of a Princess frock does
not depend from the shoulder if the
waist be fitted. and anybody ought to be
able to see it, but the dress refOrmers do

An English milliner has actually con-
descended to make lace bonnet which
is as light as feather, having no frame
except three wires, between which lies
a putting of illusion. Velvet frills on
the border. and cloud of illusion flung
over the puffings, with very full strings.

Wool braids. wool piece lace. wool

The winter bonnet will be heavy enough
to please the wig-makers, and women
seem to strive to suit them rather than
the doctors.
Rough-surfaced cloths, either plain or
with figures woven in curly loops on a
smooth ground appear among the early
winter goods. Their warmth will be
appreciated by women who have been
wearing seersucker and have discovered
that it is not really cool unless ironed
