The display this fall Of bouquet
holders is exceedingly handsome. The
The decorations are choice and carried
out in delicate detail
Something exceedingly dainty is a
peuwiper in tinted chamOis, pink, blue,
lavender or red, with mounting OF
sterling silver and enamel
A fan-bag OF black and pink brogade
liaed with pink satin, has for nap a
spangled passementerie point, and Is
completed BY bows and loops OF pink
ribbon.
Since the Horse Show many new
things Ia jeWeiry have come 10 llghG
Whips, top-6oots, spurs, bits, stlrrups,
wheels, horses heads, etc, are seen IN
enamel, silver and gold.
Next TO the plain she'll the fashion
able comb is Of shell and amber, deco
rated with a fligree Of gold and silver,
and either incrusted with jewels or
without, 10 suit both the taste and the
purse Of the wearer.
Perfectly harmless cOloring matter is
now Obtainabls for producing the deli
cate shades OF pink, green, lavender,
ETC., used in pretty combinations Tor
the popular desserts Of Bavarian creams,
iellies aud blaDc-manges. Where COM
binatiOns OF color are Tesorted TO 3 din
d ner giver must use the utmost caution
TO avoid al appearance Of business.
The cabochOn is a delightful and
smart novelty. As its name implies, II
resembles ia shape the ornament, gen
orally in jet, which goes by the other
name. IL is made In diamonds and
other stones. Another capital new idea
for brooch is diamond heart with
a pendant silk beneath, which is scent
ed, so that a fashionable woman can
carry out the prevailing notion OF al
always adopting one perfume.
One of the least OF the newest fans Is
made Of uncurled ostrich feathers.
Only the best plumeS are used, other
wise, being uncurled, they would be eX'
tremely thin. They are generally
mounted on fish pearl, inlaid with gold,
and are thus rather expensive. Black
satin fans, with sprigs OF real white
lace 10 decorate them, are also rather
new. Besides these, beautiful lace fans
seem more In request than ever.
One exquisite comb recently seen was
Of a light shade of shell, almost amber
in hue. In shape 10 ressmbled some
what a leaf. On the highly polished
surface was q delicate fligree Of gold,
extending over one side, Two turquoise
set Ia the fligree, added to its elegance.
The same idea was carried out 10 an
other design, only 10 this case the bill
gree, which almost entirely covered the
she'll, was of silver.
A small round mirror, upon which to
set Jar Of some variety Of flower
chrysanthemums or roses or tulips, &c.
tsa prettier centrepiece for tbs home
table than any amount OF elaborate en-
brOidery. The simple, quiet elegance
OF table setting and serving is every
where the. Keynote to the culture OF
amIPIOut that elegance must give no
OF being studied, which is
another OF the many reasons why one
color meals are Objectionable.
The ordinary size Of the Spanish
comb worn this winter is 7x4 inches
aod smaller sizes. which can be pro-
ducsd in horn. A beautiful design,
which promises to be very popular, is a
mixed piece Of shell highly polished
This is surmOuEted by q delicate design
OF haud carving made more effective
by a plain base. The plain Spanish
comb with no carving, also bids fair TO
become very popular With Spanish
combs the hair must be worn trite be-
low the crown OF TIE head.
10 the way OF novelties 10 shell arc
Mercury and Oriental" crescents; Mer-
curry wings spreading ont Ia horizontal
lines aud at the base Nesting beCOmingly
Ia the hair. Tbs Oriental crescent is
the latest novelty for the couture, and
can be used by any ladies' hairdresser
In forming new styles. IL Is a very
handsome ornament 10 encircle the new
chigEoD, which is the latest style in Lon
SOh and Paris. and which will be the
prevailing style In this country.
When the ball has been made the de-
sired size a handsome pair Of scissors,
gold bodkin. beautiful needle case, or
any glft the donor tancies, may be at
Iached 70 the end Of the thread. As
the bail is unwOund 10 embroidering,
knitting or crotchetiDg, as the case
may be, the quotations come 20 light
unexpectedly aud give pleasure long
after Christmas Day has passed into the
shadows of memory. While the heart
Of the ball adds 20 the fnSl bit of
pleasure when the last thread is un-
wound.
