ture OF blue and green, and has many
different reflections.
JAPANESE china is displayed in sets
-one cup and saucer comprising the
set to hang in my lady's drawing
room. 1t is not quite so old as a great
great-grandmother's but it answers
the purpose just as well.

room are of old gold and new green
plush, while lovely hand-painted pop
pies and golden rod cast their shadows
over part of the glass In exquisite col

OF square.
For the evening a. low corselet is
very fashionable, completed in the up
per part by chemisette in the shape

may be of fine embroidered etamine,
or OF sprigged tulle or gauze, or again
OF wooden lace or guipure.
A BONNET of brocaded cashmere,
