scribed with the monogram of the
wearer.
For general wear for children OF
both sexes buttoned shoes are most
desirable.
For the boudoir Juliet slipper in
red morocco is most effective with
neglige gowns.
straightforward hats are worn for
the most part. Birds are the princi.
pal adornment.
The overdone satin of last year is
routed from the field by a new make
of miroir velvet.
Epaulets of lace, jet, embroidery
and passementerie are in general use
on good dresses.
A half mourning bonnet is of moire
lamb trimmed with a wing, bow and
wide strings of black tulle.

waists and dress accessories.

and pins are more fashionable than
jet ornaments on gowns and bonnets.
A half mourning bonnet OF sable
has bow of tulle and delicate cream
lace with close bunch of violets set
in the center.
There is fad just now to collect
cut glass. Chrysanthemums are the
most beautiful of patterns many have
all their dishes for dessert of these
crystals.
Very large picture hats of felt are
bordered by fur and trimmed with
masses of tumbling ostrich tips and
close rosettes of tulle, and they are
very stunning creations.
The side-laced gaiter has come in
again, and its trimness constitutes
very respectable argument in its favor
over the untidy buttoned shoe and
the ridiculous Congress.
A genuine old-fashioned poke bon
net has trimming of loops of ribbon
at the side with plumes standing high
up over the crown. 1t is tied under
the chin with white ribbons.

jackets, with enormous collars, lapels
and sleeves of sable are the rage in
Paris, and are completed by huge
Restoration bow of white satin at the
throat.
Those who prefer black fur have
their trimmings of moire Persian
lamb and entire boleros of the fur are
exceedingly swagger, when topped off
by huge Restoration bow OF tulle or
satin and lace.
Buckles OF new designs in gold,
enameled and jeweled daintiness are
constantly appearing. The favorite
shapes with the young women are in
the form of heart and circle, and
these adorn the stock collars quite as
often as the belt.
Melon-shaped sections of chamois
skin, overlapped and stitched
together, form an attractive tobacco
pouch. This should be lined with
taffeta silk, finished in deep frill at
the top, this frill being formed by the
silk cord drawing-string.

having them placed apart at regular
intervals Line with cambric,

of rope embroidery silk, and edged
with silk fringe, is very odd and
pretty. This should be decorated with
