4 General Glance.
White glass for table use is again the
proper thing.
Plush and velvet dinner-table decora-
tons are quite out of style.
-
Finger bowls and bon bon bowls come
in a variety of shapes. Most OF them are
low and round; some are engraved, some
wholly plain, but provided with handles,
about which are twined flowers in clear
glass.
Flower vases for the table are shown in
design to match the goblets and finger
| bowls.
Tumblers have given away to goblets,
and the favored shapes in these are big
and funnel like, engraved with mono
grams or running vines.
Long pelisses made of big lowered rich
brocades are stylish.

with black ]toiInts, or, in case n colorcd
shoe is worn. the stocking should match
the tan or rus,ci leather OF which the
shoe Is made.

Some Of the most elaborate toilets seen
