Feminine Fancies.
Most of the work being done at this
season is intended for the Christmas
holiday sale. Tiny rosy Cupids are
about the prettiest subject, and thou
sands of these are being painted on
| squares of bolten cloth, to be made up
into scarfs, pincushions and shaving
papers. French women are almost
altogether employed to make up these
airy trifies.
A pretty new satin pincushion,
standing quite high, has three pretty
Cupids with their bows and quivers
full of arrows painted on the bolten
| cloth center, with quilted fans of the
same delicate goods, festooned on the
edge with garlands of roses inserted in
each corner.
The white crepe paper bedspreads,
with colored floral designs in the
centse and around the edge,
sold in the Japanese shops, have
been much used in cottages this sum-
mer.
Some bedroom book shelves and
corner cupboards are covered with
| chintz of the pompadour style, having
large floral bouquets at wide inter-
walls.
A pretty pattern in the long scarfs
called table runners has a mixture
of butterflies, flowers and birds.
Some of the newest silver match
cases have ON their coverings two
dials, and indicators for the use of
whist players.
All the American ladies are making
a point of bringing away n OF the
pretty new square Japanese trays of
a salmon pink color, from the Paris
Exposition, as o fitting background
for the egg shell cups and aucers used
| at five o'clock tea.
Everything is becoming more expen-
| sive and luxurious all the time, and
now to be in the fashion one must
have four post bedsteads, and canopy
hangings, and these have to be made
of silk deliberately embroidered, or
perhaps painted.
The latest fad among the young
women is the filling in of slippers, in
tented as presents for their dudish
friends, with light scarlet or blue silk,
A bungle of cigars simulated in sill

gether, represented by stained ivory

corkscrew.
Individual water jugs, which r
considered the correct thing now,
come in cut glass in the pitcher shape,
tall and slender, with very strong
thick handles.
The most effective new salad bowls
represent a full blown cabbage, with
the heart followed out. Two forks,
with handles of the same china, go
with the bowl.
The new draperies of channels skin
require to be made on a foundation,
as each skin is small and irregular.
They are joined with feather stitch
ing according to the fancy, and bronze
and yellow beads hung on them. A
deep fringe is cutshoth top and bot
tom, the upper being allowed to
fall over in front to form a valance.
The o~ld-fashioned samples are all
the rage, and the ladies on the piaz-
zas this ummer are all busy working
them. Those that are fortunate

mems make them up over pretty silk
bags, and hang them in their sitting
rooms.
Many flower pincushions are seen,
the pansy and the camellias being the
favorites; chair cushions are also be-
ing made up round and to look as
much like roses as possible.
