quently encountered, and a passing
glance is sufficient to reveal the dis
ordered veil or hat, the strip of braid
torn from the bottom of the gown, the
bow or flounce awry or any other de-
feet in the toilet, and it is then an easy
matter to remedy the shortcoming,
which, neglected, would stamp one as
lacking in proper regard for tidiness.
Therefore, the modern woman glances
into every mirror as she hurries along
and takes furtive peep now and then
into the jeweled glass suspended at her
belt, caring not one whit if some of her
friends deem it vanity, as long as she
is thus reassured of her neat and trim
appearance.

ride a small necl1let by taking the two
sides of the original crown. Then,
again, it is possible to have merely
single-stone necSlet from the junction
of the two slender bands of the coro-
net. The achievement is the more re-
markable since it has not so far been
founS possible to obtain flexibility in
florar design. This trinket is valued
at the modest sum of $500.
Another model, comparatively low
priced but also worthy of much ad-
miration, is a diamond and pearl
aigrette for the hair, which can be de-
tached and worn as a brooch. The
third figure is a shell hairpin sur
mounted by two dainty little Mercury
wings united by a knot of diamonds.
In these days of much dressed heads
handsome hair ornaments are becom-
ing daily more popular.
1t is far cry from these ieweled
playthings of the wealthy to the simple,
little, ribbon ornament of the every
day girl is probably just as happy as
she of the diamond crown.
Many young girl manages to look
delightfully."- pretty with a dainty rib
bon bow in her hair instead of gilt
tering jeweled one. Two styles are
particularly popular. For the first,
four bows of velvet ribbon are tightly
tied, with two outstanding ends of the
same. Rose-colored velvet is the fa-
vorite, and when tiny bow of white
lace is introduced the effect is
charming on pretty brown hair.
These can be worn with rou-
leau of velvet or can be fastened
in the hair with a fine, steel crescent
hair pin. The other popular bow real
ly consists of four ends of crossway
velvet, arranged Two on each side, with
tie in the center. The outer ends are
longer than the others and are cut in
vandykes. On orange, blue, or pink
bows of this kind a narrow jet trim
ming is run on little way within the
edge. Another dainty ornament for
the hair is rouleau of blue velvet and
five rosettes of blue silk lisse The
rouleau is worn across the top and
around one side of the coil of the hair.
Near the front end butterfly is light
ly placed above a good-sized rosette.
The smaller rosettes are placed on the
band at intervals, two being quite at
the end.

DESSERT DISH IN VENETIAN GLASS.

GRATED in quite a new style and made
especially for the queen. The service
consists Of two large and six smaller
dishes, each shell-shaped, of pale opal
escent pink color, never made before,
mounted with griffon splashed with
gold, and part covered with what ap-
pears from a short distance a square
of real lace of exquisite workmanship.
On closer investigation, however, these
covers turn out exceedingly clever imi-
tations of lace designs, enameled by
hand, and afterwards fired to render
them durable. The lace design on the
two large dishes consists of combina-
tion of rose, thistle and shamrock
with butterfly lowering between the
flowers. On the same dishes the grif-
fon holds a shield on which the royal
crown is enameled in color. Shape,
coloring and decorative workmanship
of those dessert dishes are of the ut
most elegance and delicacy.

TOO MUCH ORDER.

IL Makes Home Life just as Intolerable
as n Lack of System.
A house in which there is no orderly
routine is very uncomfortable place,
no doubt, but too much order may be
equally disagreeable and wearing, the
nerves of the family being rasped as
were those of people who lived with R.
Wilfer's wife.
People to whom order is not the
means to a desired end but the end
itself, give themselves and others a
great deal of needless trouble. A chair
or book out of place distresses them
blur on the window pane drives
them to distraction, unless they can at
once remove it. A meal slightly de-
layed beyond the appointed hour loses
for them its SAVIOR.
Order is their fetch. In vain their
friends beg them to be philosophical,
to try elasticity as a sort of buffer
against annoyances. They shake their
heads wearily, and keep on fretting.
And the fretting marks their foreheads
and indents their lips and writes its
record on their faces, while husbands
and children sigh for little cheerful
happy-go-lucly disorder The daugh-
ter of the over orderly mother is often,
by the law of reaction, an absurdly un-
systematic personage.-IIarper's Bazar

Frankness without rudeness, inde-

The Wee Ones Thumb.

Nothing too strong can be said
against permitting children to suck
their thumbs. Charming and heart
delighting as this common occupation
of the baby is to the average mother,
nothing will more surely ruin the
shape of the hands. 1t is the cause of
broad, fat thumbs in after life. There
are preparations o put upon the baby's
thumbs which will render these rosy
digits less palatable, and after one or
two attempts baby will soon forget the
injurious habit
