Fashionable stationery.

No n uses correspondence cards
any more. One of the most fashion
able Of New York women employs for
informal notes a kind of compromise
between the old fashioned correspon-
dence card and the tiny note paper
which is the prevailing form. This
little sheet is in French gray or a pale
grayish blue color, with the address
stamped in white. Some ladies have
a fad for writing on colored papers
with white ink, but as the ink gener-
ally rubs off badly the practice is not
particularly agreeable To the recip-i
tents OF such favors. An extreme in
stance is a paper of veritable pea
green hue, stamped in white and coy
cred with chirography in white ink.
Pink paper of a peculiarly vivid and
striking tint represents the fancy OF a
well known literary woman; this, too,
is stamped in white, but black ink is
used.
White wax for sealing the envelope
is particularly elegant, and to be able
to accomplish the feat without smok-
ing the least particle of the wax af-
fords peculiar satisfaction and pride
in ones dizziness.
A pale blue smooth finished paper,
with the address in plain dark blue
lettering, is pretty and in good taste,
and the same may be said of silver
lettering on a white sheet, which is a
popular style.
Coats of arms and %crests, while
g~eorgeously displayed on the station.
cry of many fashionable people, are.
conspicuous by their absence on that
of many Others whose right to use
them is undoubted.
MonOgrams are not greatly used,
still they cannot be pronounced out
Of vogue, for they are frequently en-
ployed in large size and Of rainbow
tints.
The single initial represents an ele-
CANT fashion, employed by as notable
a parsonage as Mrs. William G. Whit
ney. The initials of the full name in
fac simile of the handwriting are quite
in favor, but seem more especially
suitable for informal notes to init
mates.
In general, it may be said that
rough finished white Irish linen, with
the address stamped at the top of the
sheet in silver, gold or II plain
color, is accepted good form for any
one.

When Your Photograph Is Taken.
Don't wear a silk frock. Nothing
comes out so badly as the gloss of
| satin or gliInmer of silk. Instead,
choose wool or velvet. If you are
young wear a white gown. Remem-
Der that gray takes white, and
| yellow or tan becomes black, SO that
with your white gown you must have
white gloves. Lace always comes out
very we'll and furs are artistic. Do
not fix your hair IN an elaborate way,
and remember that you are posing as
a lady and not as an actress. Ii you
have. any freckles, the artist will, il he
is a good one, spot them out, and if
your hair is really light, put a little
powder on it with a powder puff and
it will look its natural color.
Unless you are one of the people
who can smile naturally to order, do
not attempt to look pleasant, for the
