One of the gay touches of the season is
noted in coaching parasols of ecru tus
sore silk lined in bright blue.
Garden hats are made of Powered cot.

gowns. The crowns are banded with
black velvet.
Petticoats of white Grape have follow
ed those of white silk. and the fanciest of
little underskirts are shown all berib-
boned and belaced.
Leghorn hats have the brims lined
with black chiffon and caught up with
black satin rosettes. Black plumes are
set at n side within the upturned brim
and fall forward and back with marked
grace.
A small bonnet is made more impress
i've by a rather wide brim, which is
slashed and then flares back in aureole
style, the slash opening above the brow
to reveal the trimming set against the
crown.
New Marie Antoinette fichus of white
lace are stopped at the waist instead of
being continued in scarf ends. They
are wonderfully dainty with garden
party costumes accompanied by the
white lace rufle hats.
All wool bengaline with tricolored
cords is something pretty in the woods.
This is not at all pronounced, the cords
being fine and the shading delicate. The
ground crossed by the cords is of neu-
trail tint, as gray or tan.
Some of the prettiest coloring of the
season is seen in the new gloves. The
kids show every graduation Of tinting.
There is no costume that MY not be
matched by them. Silk gloves, too, are
brought out in every shade.

SONS or pink tinted peach blossoms and

menots or daisies, are among the many
tasteful combinations in enameled floral

Wreaths frequently appear in stones

carded. Pearls and olivines-tho green
stones portraying foliage and the pearls
representing berries-are examples of
the variation of a prevalent design.
The swan is the bird now most promi-
nent in jewelry. Its shapely suggestive
ness is seen everywhere. A new rack
for envelopes and paper of perforated
silver is most gracefully designed by
having the line of the divisions swan
shaped.
Enamel and gold combinations are
plentifully used. Besides numerous in
dividual blossoms and floral clusters,
enameled brooches in the fainter tints
are inlaid with designs of Towering
sprays carefully reproduced in gold and
colored stones.

Ing the city by the lake" An old
tradition gives us to understand that
London was founded by Brute, a de.
scendant Of Aneas, and that it was
first called New Troy or Troynovant.
In the time of Lud it was surrounded
by a wall and was then known as
Aud's Town, or Cfer-Lud. This lat.
ter is probably the correct version of
the origin Of the name of London, if
for no other reason, becauseit is such
an easy matter to detect a similarity
between the expressions London and
Lud's Town. 1t is claimed by some
writer's that there was a city on the
present site of London in the wear
10Y B. C., and it is known that the
Romans founded a city there and
called it Londinium in the year 81 A..
