Embroidered bed linen adds very much to
the look OF the couches on which we seek our
nightly rest, and the style In fashion just now
exactly hits the happy medium between too
smart and not smart enough. Indeed, good
hem stitching and reviere work are almost
more noticeable than embroidery. Very
handsome pillowcases, square and oblong,
are hemstitched, and have little embroidery
on them, so placed that It does not come near
the face. Then there are shams and bed
spreads, and hemstitched sheets, and some
very handsome sheets are scalloped all along
the upper edge, with suitable embroidery in
each scallop. Embroidered and hemstitched
fve o'clock teacloths made Of sheeting linen
instead OF damask are very chic, and the
sideboard cloths TO match simply cannot be
made fast enough.
Canoes, miniature paintings and superbly
cut anethysts are some OF the precious things
set In the sticks OF parasols.

incumberance OF petticoats will permit.
She will have her shirts and caps

To most women veil is a very necessary

eyes and compilations require TO be protected
from binding dust and bitter winds, the veil

munity. The sensible fashion OF wearing the
veil right down TO the chin to entirely protect
the face OF the wearer still obtains with we'll
dressed women; and though the multitude
Of new designs for veil nets, which
appeared last season: have not left much
scope for further efforts In this drec-

be mentioned the stylish net powdered with
tiny silk "true-loye knots" not worked on
the net but attached TO 1t, and this Is shown
in black and white with gold knots, and in a
range OF delicate shades, with knots Of
various colors. This Will be quite the flvoritC
veil OF the season. Some fashionable
