THE LATEST IN STATIONERY. =
The ryrant Fashion Grows More Despotie
Every Year.
The tyrant fashion grows more des-
potie and exacting each year, and the
unfortunate blase young lady finds 81
hard to keep apace with, but the dear
little debutante grasps eagerly each
new fad. She surely is one of fashions
most ardent slaves
Much thought is given to the paper On
which she sends her dainty notes. The
young lady who is partial to violets viii
welcome one of the latest fads in the
stationery line. 1t is in the shape Of a
fine quality of bond paper, tinted a
faint violet, with dark purple mono
gram and border of the same shade.
1t is something new. Violet ink is often
used In the box with this paper comes
a small violet satin bag filed with the
perfume which the paper so plainly
suggests
The most fashionable tints at pres
emit are on the blue sapphire, yachting
blue and a delicate paper of a turquoise
| tint, with the monogram done in white,
are favorites. Silver crests. or the adj
dress In silver. are very effective also
on this shade. Mazarine blue is a strik-
| ing paper. Monograms in gold or silver
show to good advantage on this tint.
| A sample just out is decorated by a
| wreath, within which you find a mono
gram. The paper being delicate blue
| tint, viii have silver wreath at the
| top, the monogram inside being done in
dark blue.
Many papers at present have the plain
script initials
For mourning fine white paper,
with black border, the initials done in
| black script, makes stylish paper. the
envelopes being marked in the same
| way. The very last thing in mourning
stationery is something startlingly
| unique. The paper itself is of fine
| quality and the border being a broad
band OF dark purple, just edged with
| black, while the monogram or address,
| just as the fancy may choose, Is done in
purple also.
The rose tints are very popular just
now, and pretty paper is of a delicate
| rose shade, with the monogram done in
| black. The initials in script look well
| with this combination of color
Fashion, with its continuous longing
| for something new, yet seems partial to
| the times of long ago. We find quaint
| little figures dancing the minuet in the
| most stately fashion on a corner of our
| writing paper Sometimes these an
cient little danes, with their diminutive
| partners are exquisitely colored, but
| often are just outlined in black, gold OF
silver.
Many people consider the plain white
paper very much the best form On
| white paper the egg-she1 is something
| new, though after writing a lengthy
epistle upon it one would welcomely
receive the japanese bond which is
smooth and much easier to work on
The Repp paper is stylish though rather
! coarse. The kid finish is delightful
| paper to use. A plain white paper,
| with its own special marking, can be
made very characteristic of the person
! using it.
The economical young woman need
not be deprived of writing letters for
| economy's sake, as note paper can be
| bought at five cents a quire and the
| address put on in any color, not using
| the bronzes. for nine cents a quire.
Every business woman has 4 fondness
| for the pad paper. This now comes in
most convenient forms Pads can be
| bought z dozen for a dollar or you may
| pay from 4 dollar up for 2 single one
Paper can be in the pad form, but of a
very fine quality of paper. stamped as
| you wish and with blotter and pencil
attached
There are many new styles in paper
| for children. The tiny sheets are now
| decorated with little figures Nellie,
who has always had a tender spot in
her heart for Little Red Riding-H Hood,
| will write in her childish hand on paper
| each sheet of which has a little figure
at the top illustrating the story of Red
Riding Hood And so we find Cinderella
and many of the old Mother Goose
rhymes appearing all decked in bright
| colors at the head of the sheet
| The little Lord Fauntleroy paper is
| liked by most of the children Then
| the tiny cards having a little Greenaway
figure in one corner, with the printed
words, 'Win you come to my party?''
make many little people jump up and
down with delight--N. Y. World.
