| And we We never in life had quarrel,
| For she cooks like an angel, my boy.
| From the Boston Courier.
SHELL cameo and painted brooches
Will again be worn.
SWANsDowN is used for trimming
party dresses for children.
SHIRRED collarettes of ribbon are
worn contrasting in color to the dress
In spite of predictions to the con-
trary, corduroy is popular for walk
ing suits.
FINE jet is much employed in 1aillin-
cry, made up in wings, leaves, d igrettes
or spikes.
PLUSH is the leading fabric for all
toilets; even thin evening dresses are
trimmed with it.
AN English fancy is to wear theater
bonnets and muffs of black Grape over
bright-colored silk.
CHAIN-GOLD purses, with a gold in
itial Or diamond monogram, are the
latest Partisan fancy.
YELLOW continues in favor, and
sometimes is too lavishly used on
walking costumes to be in good taste.
GIRLS party dresses of soft CASH
mere are trimmed with oriental lace
and bows and loops of watered ribbon.
THE new striped brocades have wa
ter lilies and leaves and delicate fern
| designs on grounds shot with gold or
silver.
SOMETHING new in Japanese tea sets
Is OF bright red china, and, probably,
for that reason is dubbed the "Mika-
do ware"
CURLY astrakhan, or krimmer, will
be superseded by the soft, wavy as
trakhan. The galloons even are show
ing less curl.
A LARGE bow of ribbon on top OF the
head, with long streamers down the
back, takes the place of the cap on the
head of milady's maid.
FLORA MCFLIMsEY has taken up the
Derby hat again, and wears it as
jauntily as ever for morning tramps, -
rainy days and riding lessons.
EXQUISITE hand painted flowers are
seen on the silk and satin handker-
chief bags that now hang from the ell
bows of the stately DANES of fashion.
TARLATAN, crepe, and tulle evening
dresses have fnely-pinked edges IN
stead of hens, although many have
satin ribbons run through mems of
hounces.
IT is evidently still the fashion
among young ladies "who can stand
the color" to wear black tulle even
ing dresses, with most of the material
in the skirt.
| FOLDS of white or colored Grape have
superseded ruchings for the neck.
Sometimes the folds are enriched by
large pearls which always match the
Grape in color.
SQUARE shawls of knitted silk, lace
edged with fringe, in all the evening
colors, are novelties They are light
and may be used as fchus Or for COW
ering the head.
THE Chinese, who ought to know
about such matters, say tea should
only be made in g. China teapot with a
heavy glaze. Earthenware of common
clay spoils the aroma of the tea.
PURPLE and red are very stylish in
combination but very ugly and un-
harmonious. In England red bonnet
and O. purple gown are worn together
with effrontry which mocks at your
| taste.
VERY little real silver is regularly in
use in any private family nowadays.
The use of plated ware-for many good
reasons-is almost universal, and the
family plate is buried in safe deposit
companies.
! PAPER flowers are threatened as an
other fashionable craze. The art OF
making them is not difficult and ladies
are said to regard it--as they did
twenty-five years ago-as dainty and
pretty work.
! CLASPS of the rarest workmanship
in gold and silver are used for fasten-
ing bodices. Persons having old Nor
wegian or German wrought silver or
naments are utilizing them for embell-
ishing their bodices.
NEWEST importations of table glass
ware are very beautiful, showing
great advance in patterns and in COL
oring. Amber and pale blue are two
of the leading colors in table glass
ware just at present.
Young women who know, or who
have been told, that they have 'sbeau-
tiful hands," do not wear any ring
whatever. In this connection it is
well to remark that the Empress of
Austria doesn't either.
