Some embroidered lace was shown next.
Even these were too dear. At length she
selected very plain and ordinary scarf.
"Quite good enough, too, she thought,
and took it home to her husband.
"Have you chosen something prettyp he

"Oh, yes, very pretty"

The postical Imagination of the south
erner is always running riot when beauty Is
the theme. Here is the pen picture sof
Gulf State Belle" as it APPEARS in a New
Orleans newspaper: miss is one of
those lovely nymph-like maideus who seem
the incarnation of some poets dream of
beauty. She is somewhat above medium
hight, with 1.-THE, graceful figure, exqui-
site In its proportions, and a bearing Of
mingled ease and dignity. The clustering
locks Of her bright, golden-brown hair
contrast ssrikingly with her large, velvety

eyebrows. In moments of animation or ex-

worn with black silk or soft wooden robe
Another novelty is brooch shaped like a

way is to have it well over the chin, drawn
up slightly at the sides and fastened high up
at the back. A badly arranged veil will
often spoil the entire charm of dainty
bonnet, and while the wearer is wondering
that her dearest friend does not admire II
ana say so, she little realizes that its beauty
has been spoiled by the arrangement of the
bit Of flmy stuff at once protection and a
coquetry.
The pretty Anatolia curtains Of crinkled
Turkish muslins, says the New York TIT
bune, are shown in market this season by
the yard, in pure cream tint, as well as
striped in lines Of red, blue or yellow. A
muslin finished on one edge with the pretty
hand-netted fringe ending in fluffy little
tassels, costs 60 cents yard, and is about
five-eighths of yard wide. The same goods
can be obtained at 80 cents a yard without
fringe, making a curtain yard and a
quarter wide by piecing this plata breadth
on fringed one. This material makes es-
pecially pretty bedroom curtains, which
may be repeatedly laundered. The fringe
alone of Anatolia curtains is also found in
Turkish stores, and is sold by the yard at
80 cents. 1t is q pretty finish for toilet
covers, stand covers or dimity curtains.
