smoking Jackets, of English, French and
American makes. neckties SO pretty that
even the despised feminine taste in these
articles sees their prettiness, silk hosiery
and embroidered silk suspenders, besides
bath robes and dressing gowns. The
newest thing IN canes is the Prince of
Wales crook, in natural Wood, studded
with silver nails. There are carved ivory
and metal heads as we'll, but natural
wood is the prevailing mode, in UNI
brellas IS well. although the colored ones
with Dresden china handles holi their
own. Quite the most interesting SHOW
case in the store. from a woman's
standpoint, is that which contains
the exquisite pieces of hand en-
broidery by the nuns in the South
OF France. Here are handkerchiefs with
borders five Inches deep, one delicate
trostWork OF dainty meshes and hirsute
flowers and leaves, SO fine hat the eye
can scarcely see them. Each one is from
d special design, SO there are no dupIi-
Gates. Besides, there are point and
duchesse lace haudkerchiefs, and tiny
embroidered triies in silk chiffon. For
utility there ale handkerchiefs in boxes,
plain hemsttIched, initial or fancy en-

borders. The mourning goods are beauti-
fully put up. Around the corner are the
black dress goods, with special lines of
cheviot, bedford and storm serge reduced
for the holidays.
According to the head of the silk de-
Dartment. the only materials used for
evening wear now are crystal bengalines
and crepes, with u fair percentage of
self-colored brocades. Of these there is a
bewilderiEg profusion. The bengaIines
are il every hue. from the palest cream
or bridal white to the deep red of a
Jacqueminot. and combine IN their soft
richness the good qualities of ottoman
silk, seloutine. and the old-time Irish
poplin." There are few two-toned bro
cades sold. except for private theatricais.
Any shade. no matter how pronounced,
may be matched in the glove department,
which proves that the days when IL girl
could make one pair of tan evening
gloves do for every gown, are long de-
parted.
With all this list of pretty things, the
Christmas buyer ought to be suited at Ls
Boutillier's.
