Yet she had an engagement ring on her

A set of bedroom hanglngs comprises
window curtains as numerous as the win
dows, portleres for every or, the canopy
for the bed. and couyrepied or footcover
to throw across the footooard. Some add
table and dressing bureau scdrfs, but it Is
mere effective that these should be of " hite
and lighter materials. A set recently shown
was Of pale blue serge, beautifully worked
In flax, in thistle design. The popularity
was that the this-ies were in natu! al colors
OF Ieathery white and Lchen green, but the
blue background was of the neutral shade
which did not clash with the other calors.
A screen desk is a late bit OF furniture
which would be useful in small apart uents.
1t is light but firmly mounted aud on one
side shows the plated silk panels Of
screen, the other side being convertible by
letting down half cover into SIX, with
the place beneath fitted with two shelves
for light books. Naturally the depth is
considerably greater than the ordinary
screen, but this is not perceptible when the
screen side is evenly presented. 1t lacks
some qualities of the easily moved aud any
where adjusted legitimate screen. but " here
space is valuable it very successfully per-
forms Its double duty.
A writer in the Domestic Monthly has
this to say OF the nineteenth century society
girl: She il her own worst enemy. She lacks
common sense. The aim of her girlho0d is
to capture husband. and her every act is
to frlghtep the men off. She poses as
useless, delicate creature, whose mind never
rises above trit1es. and her very costume
advertises that it takes a fortune to dress
her. And she is useless deliberately so.
Every useful thing she regards as beneath
her, and systematically shuus it. And she
is delicate because her manner OF life makes
her so. She does pull Der corsets too
tight, and she does have the heels OF her
shoes IN the middle OF the soles, say what
she will to the contrary. 1t would be
hardly possible for her to be more reckless
of her health. The promenade and da cling
are her only exercise, and we know under
what circumstances she Danes, how sue
gets overheated, and then goes out into the
chilly night air. We know, too, the alb
surdity of Ter ball dress in the coolest
weather. If she is comparatively poor her
dress shows that she has tured every corner, ,
spent every penny that she could lay her
hands upoa to maks it as elaborate as posi-
BILE.
Broedcloth and beaver wraps have scat

celt Is the trimming OF Krimmer cloth
jackets with astrakhan fur. The trimming
of seal plush with mouflOn was noted some
weeks since, as also the new Persian cloth.
There Is a wide-wae cloth that is being
used considerably for moderate priced
coats, and an odd cloth that looks more like
rag carpet than anything else Plaid cloths

A sensible fad this season will be the
liking for the full-length listers with capes
and often, though not always, with hoods
Made OF warm, lightweight cancels hair,
with cape and hood, and sometimes the
coat, lined with silk. These sell at $50.
They have bias seam up the back of the
cape and strap of the goods holds the full
ness OF the hood in plaits over the brow.
Others have round capes without the bias
seam. In little coarser material these
listers sell at $40. In much heavier cloth
that is fer less desirable than the light
weight, the prices range from S25 to $50.
These have no lining and often no hood
listers without cape sell at SIS It is to bere-
GREETED that cape ulster, light, soft, warm,

possessing these qualities would meet with
an unparalleled sale.
pretty ulster is of chenille cloth in
black and white, with the hood and cape
lined in black velvet.
OF all the shapes, the very long and per-
fectly round. loosely flowing cape is perhaps
the most graceful. The wind will circulate
rather freely beneath it, but who will care
for that? 1t is pretty.
Speaking of the good old days reminds
the New York Advertiser that the old
fashioned recticules are carried in the
parlor, in the family sitting room and in
the dining room just as they were when the
world was younger than it is now. If you
have in your family an heirloom
in the form of a reticule you may
thank your stars for letting you have so in
teresting a family relic. Bring it forth
from its lurking place in the depths of the
family chest, and brush it carefully, having
great regard for the beadwork and the old
fashioned embroidery which is sure to be
found upon 1t. Do, not refurbish it with
bright ribbons. But if ribbons must be
added, get some Of dull hue in order that
they may seem in keeping with the relic
which they adorn. Into the reticule put
not caraway seeds, but few sweet
scented pink cachous; then your
smelling bottle, if so please
you, and pair of tiny scissors. Do not
add your handkerchief to the collection OF
articles In your reticule. but tuck that
gently in the front Of your gown, or, better
still, put it out of sight IN your pocket.
Hang the reticule over your arm when you
carry it. That is all. Simply carry it,
Let it be like the poor, always with you
and, having learned to do this, 50 shall you
have obtained unto degree of daintinesS,
which should be every woman's coveted
wish.
