V-shaped vines and epaulettes of leaves,
balls and berries are in fine diamond

of beads falling over the shoulders.
Pointed patterns of beading are seen,
making a pointed cape in front and
back from the neck to the waist line, or

with fringes and drops of beads.
Shoulder capes of beads come in various
sizes, some scarcely reaching to the tops
of the shoulders, while others are
pointed to the waist-line, and still others
drop nearly to the elbows, and are even
all around. The pointed capes are also
made of black faille Franchise, richly
wrought with jets reaching to the waist
in back and front, tied there with a
waist ribbon, while the arms are COW
cred with jetted net of an elaborate de-
sign. Rows upon rows Of jet OF suede

silk wraps, and there are entire capes
of bronze beads, while some have
bronze and blue beads together; black
and steel, or black and gold beads are
great prOfuSiOn in summer months in
rows of loops, in pointed tabs, forming
fringe, in bows and roSetteS. Larger
Yisites for elderly ladies are made of
the jetted-striped faille, in which are
woven alternate stripes OF the silk and

sewed together.
In order to make NANTES catch the
fancy of customers one adrOit maker
manages to have among her assistants
an attractive blonde, brunette, and
one whose complexion is of more neg
alive nature. If a customer is to be
waited on the assistant of like complex
ion is called, and on her is set off such
wraps as are most becoming. and to
which she adds an additional charm.
The customers are invariably satisfied
with this method, the homeliest
having corresponding vanity enough
to believe the mantles will
look equally well on them. They would
seem to be true impracability in such
that women are less susceptible than
men to fiattery; but the fact that the
scheme works is proof to the contrary.

eighteen, full of fresh, youthful beauty,
put on cloak that exactly harmOnlzed

old, with crows feet and hard lines in
her face. and no more like the fair

Pride has curious developments in
women. A grimly humorous story was
told at a meeting of a certain charitable
society the other day. A poor woman
narrated how she had fought against
| fate, until at last she had come to the
conclusion that death was the only
chance of relief left her. But then it
occurred to her that if she committed
suicide she would be buried in pau
per's grave. This wounded her self
respect, and she determined to at all
events postpone the tragic elimination
of her career until she had saved
enough money for decent funeral.
This she did, and then it further oc-
Cured to her that, having amassed these
few dollars, she might as well spend
them as let them go into the hands of
the undertaken. So she postponed her
suicidal resolution sine die, took an
humble shop, and is now well, thriving
and happy. CLARA BELLE.
