FANS FROM FASHIONS"

peated in finger doylies A preference is
shown for yellow and white, but other
pale colors are used. A novelty in doy
lies is one with small butterfly i'm one
corner, made of the embroidered linen, but
so contrived as TO stand with wings up.
The lace doyley. with silk centre. is an
other pretty style.
The long scarfs or table runners may
also be appropriated for bureau covers or
dressing tables. The largest are thirty
two inches wide and seventy-two inches
long.
Since the advent of brass bedsteads, pill
low shams have lost favor, the bed spread
being drawn up over a bolster and the pill
lows discarded; but where bedsteads have
high head-boards pillow shams are in use
and are very elaborate. A very pleasing
as well as durable style is linen embroider-
ed with linen. The spachtel work is very
attractive for bed spreads and pillow
shams, and If these pieces Of embroidery
did not suggest a lifetime of toll in their
innumerable stitches their prices, which
range from s35 TO Sl00 would seem eXtrav-
agant. IL is very effective open-worked
embroidery, the open places being filled in
with threads in manner To carry out
elaborate designs.
Linen sheets are not much used i'm this
country, so many people are prejudiced
against the coldness of the fabric IL is a
curious fact that lavish as Americans
usually are IN the things that pertain TO
their comfort they are yet very niggardly
i'm certain small matters. The amount of
material allowed for sheets is one of these.
Even the commonest sheets sold in Eng
land or France measure from half a yard
TO three-fourths of yard longer than
those sold here. There is no danger of
their pulling down from the head or up
from the feet, but the ready made sheets
here, as "a rule, do little more than cover
the ton of the mattress
Down quilts are features Of all bed
rooms. They are either covered with ar
mure silk, in delicate shades, or with
China silk, in unique designs. Something
newer still than the elder down is the
quilt made of a thin layer of wool, within
a silk cover. This ls far lighter than a
blanket and quite as warm.
A linen chest is not an uncommon bridal
gift, ana may prove quite as costly as sill
yer or cut glass. The chest is of oak, and
has the brides monogram carved on the
top, together with the date of her mar
riage. IL Is large enough To hold dozen
OF everything" and has a shallow tray
In which small pieces of table silver may
be kept.
Five o'clock tea cloths have become a
staple article OF trade These measure
from one TO two yards square. are usually
fripged. and often have border Of drawn
work. They come stamped In pretty pat
terms for embroidery, and afford useful
kind of fancy work. Ordinary fringed
doilles are used with these ornamental
cloths.

TABLE CENTRES AND RUNNERS,
The Linen Chest. the Five O'Clock Tea
Cloth, the Fringed Doyly, and the New
est I'm Napkins.

Linen is the pride of good hodsekeep-
er's heart, says Fashions, published by the
Calender, McAuslan & Troup Company,
and she is ever ready to admit the need OF
the linen closet. II is the linen first OF all
that makes or mars the appearance of her
table. Pure white damask of the finest
quality is still the accepted cloth for din
ner. The best taste always requires neat
patterns although there are some artistic
designs among the large ones.
The ruling size for table napkins is
twenty-seven inches-not so large as those
used abroad, but larger than were consid-
cred desirable here few years ago. Oc-
casionally table cloths are enriched with
costly lace, or ornamented with drawn
work, - the latter having napkins to
atch,--while an imported French fashion
Is the use of linen embellished with col
ored figures, but these are only for occas.
ional use. Colored cloths, in mixture of
silk and linen, of yellow or pink, are hem
stitched, and are used for luncheon.
The best Irish linen may be considered
the finest of all the.weaves, but in point of
style the French is far ahead, and is there
fore in greater demand. A poor quality
OF Irish linen is not much better than the
Scotch or German. Initials and mono
grams are used on both table cloths and
napkins and are Of very good size. On the
former they are usually placed in the cen
ire or on both ends, and on the latter
they are either in the centre or in one cor
ner.
There is at the present time craze for
table centres and runners. This demand
has brought a supply from many quar-
ters. Ladies have taken them in hand rs
fancy work, but rivals in this industry
have sprung up in the persons of Saxony
women and children. Most exquisite en-
broidery is imported from this portion of
Germany by some of the best houses. The
work is done by hand in silk on linen, the
button-hole stitch being the principal one
used, although fine stitch that looks like
the finest chain-stitching done by ma
chine Is another form of this patient
workmanship When cut out, the pat
tern shows to great advantage. Some
times sprig or leaf is done on the body
OF the article. These bits of linen cost s.,
$40 and $50, or more, according TO size and
amount of work, and the designs are re-

About Fans.

Just why feather fans are such enviable
property, as they have the credit of being,
is difficult TO imagine. They are unwieldy
and not in the least useful. Merely as OBJ
jects 10 look at, the soft, waving plumes
are really pretty, but that quality alone
does not make them desirable as fans
However, feather fans certainly are popu-
lar, and are mounted on shell or ivory
sticks, like ordinary fans, or only on one,
as the purchaser wills.
Lace fans, both black and white, are
among the elegant evening fans. There
are various kinds used, but point lace and
Chantilly are the most delicate, and also
the most expensive. The sticks are
usually of mother of pearl inlaid with
gold. Fans that are more moderate in
price are of silk or satin, sometimes deco
rated with hand-painting, but often quite
plain. Gauze fans may be said to have
had their day, although many are still
sold. There is variety of fans quite
fanciful in design. They are made to rep
resent different flowers, and are some
times in startling colors japanese fans
have been popular during the summer,
but however pretty and useful they may
be, they are not found appropriate for
winter wear, unless it may be for the
theatre
