Lace or Silk Gauze for Evening Use.
China Silk for Ordinary Times.
The handkerchiefs in vogue for even
ing use, according to Harper's Bazaar,
are dainty bits of lace or silk gauze,
those of real point or duchesse with
center of finest linen lawn still remain
ing the favOriteS for a bride, or to put
the finishing touch to an elaborate
toilette, especially when the latter has
a garniture of similar lace. A pretty
one can be found for S1.25, with q
narrow border of ducheSSe lace, and a
similar piece let in at the four corners
while for $z5 an exquisitely fine speci-
men, almost entirely composed Of point,
silk gauze is usually pure white or of a
creamy hue, but the delicate tintS Of
pink, yellow, ecru and heliOtrOpe are
favored. The edge is embroidered in
white or colored floss silks, and one
variety displayed has a narrow hem
stitched border with a row Of the silk
embroidery just above it. A Partisan
novelty in silk gauze shows a square
of pale yellow with an edging of black
lace set ON, the lace broadening or
narrowing to meet the irregular out
line of the gauZe centerpiece. Another
imported sample is of a faint shade of
pink crepe with wide border of colored
embroidery.

Japanese silk handkerchief for ordi-
nary use can be purchased for almost
any price from 10 cents upwards, and
comes with the plain hemstitch, an
added initial, or with embroidered
finish of white or colored silks. How
ever, it is not so much liked as sim
liar article of linen, and it is sure to
lose it's whiteness or original tint when
laundered.
The shops are constantly offering
some special lot of this both useful
and ornamental part Of the wardrobe
at reduction in prices, and if one is
ON the lookout for opportunities the
purchase can be effected at much lower
than ordinarily.
For general use or dreSsy occasions
the fine linen or linen-lawn handker
chief with dainty border of lace or en-
broidery is preferable. One seen On
the counter of a Broadway shop was
OIL linen lawn as fine as gOsSamer;
its narrow hemstitched border was
decorated in delicate hand embroidery
and a vine Of the same encircled 1t
Just above the hem; this article was
$3.50 and was noticeably
chaste and refined in effect. A second
wah composed of linen most choice In
quality. and its emheIlisbment was OF
narrow Valenciennes, both the edglng
and a band of isertion which was
let in above the border being of lace.
White is always recommended as IN
good taste, but the delicate hnts are
permissible when desired to match
some particular shade of dress or rib
bons. Upon the white handkerchief a
narrow finish of open-work embroidery
is a present fashion, lending a pretty
and modest effect to the square Of
linen or lawn.
