q mems furnishings. 1.-THE tendency Of
the day, too, is toward an increase OF
color. Everything nearly, except for
full-dress evening toilets, is bright
hued. The plaids are broken, similar
to those seen in ladies' dress fabrics
this spring. and in pin-head checks.

even a suspicion of his neck from the

and a rebuke to the fem nine decollete
bodice, but it is far demonstrating.
The highest collar we sell is two and a
half inches wide; the nsFrowest three
fourths of an inch.

handkerchief for gentlemen now is a

''Here's a mighty nice thing for
present, continued the gentleman,
taking down box containing pair of
satin suspenders, embroidered with
moss rosebuds and leaves, and having
gold-plated buckles. Now, these sus-
penders are lined throughout with kid.

robes were of surah, part being cream
