Points on Pillows.

The 'pillow craze" far from showing
any diminution, has taken on new
forms, shapes and colorings. The
latest inventions are the "knceling
cushions" used at weddings. These fill
the place of the modest hassock and are
fully yard square. The richest stuffs
are employed in covering them, and
Chinese embroideries of gold thread on
a white satin ground are, perhaps, the
most popular. Some lovely French

a thistle design in pale heliotrope are
also used, and white cotton velvets are
