Artistic Carriers.

This is an age when even garters
are growing artistic. They are
made of all the beautiful shades OF
shirred silk. One unusually dainty
pair is of violet shirred silk, with a
purple-enamelled feur de lis,
mounted in silver, as a clasp. The
French garters are of the dark shades
of silk, with a silver or gold buckle.
Carriers of embroidered silk, with
dainty bows of ribbon upon them,
are very pretty. The most elabo-
rate side-garters are those of a dark
shade of silk with gold shield pin
at the top. The fasteners are gold
