Many of us have from last spring one of
the pretty striped silks which were much
in demand then and Will be more used
than ever this year. Design No. gives a
lovely idea for such a silk. One costume
which will shortly be donned by a pretty
widow is of a black and white silk. The
ground is white, and the narrow black
stripes are about ten inches apart
Between the stripes is a vine-like design in
black of very dainty, but unknown,
variety of flower. The skirt is very full,
the stripes on the bias; the basque is a sort

Scarlet Leather, White Enamel and Mono
grammed Paper the Rage.
The very latest stationery is plain, rich,
cream or white, gloss paper. In one cor
ner at the top are placed the street and
number or name of your house and your
crest. In linen paper the same tints of
white and cream are the most smart, and
the crest in blue, black, bronze, red or dull
green is used. On small note size the sim
pie address in fine gold or silver script is
pretty. Most truly elegant women who do
not allow "folly to lead to art'' or caprice
of fashion to violate the laws of good taste
use only white paper, and indulge the
humor or fancy with the use of gay tinted
wax, though gold, violet, black or blue is
only allowable with white paper.
Many people use tinted papers. To women
who wish to distinguish themselves by the
use of one color, such as gray, violet or
even tinted papers. the dignifed dull
blues, stone grays and pale lavender are
the most popular. The gray paper has a
style of its own, and is quite as elegant as

OF INTEREST
TO ALL WOMEN.

The fashions of picturesque hats and
clothes generally are very heeting and
should not be INDUCED in by those of
moderate means, as nothing is more de-
pressing than to put all ones money into
an article which is so conspicuous that one
is known by it for the months one is
doomed to wear it.
Ready-made suits in shops often include
great bargains, but they must be very
carefully chosen, and a little more money
expended in having gown made to order
IS, as rule, much more satisfactory.
Shirt-waists are a boon to most women.
They can be bought ready-made if once
the right size is secured, and they are a
great addition to woman's comfort in
hot weather. but do not look well worn
without any coat unless the thermometer
has climbed up unusually high; then cos
tunes are not severely criticized
A tea-gown nowadays is not only a
luxury, but necessity as well, as one can
slip such gown on and off with ease and
comfort.
A pleasing variety from the prevailing
plain skirt is given by having the front of
accordion--pleated net, over which fall
panels of the striped faille. This plan
commends itself for remodeling narrow
skirts. A silk lining of stylish fuIlness is
provided and covered with accordion
pleating on the front and sides. This
pleating may be of any plain fabric-China
silk, taffeta, net, chiffon or embroidery-in
keeping with the silk of the skirt. The old
skirt will then be entirely used for full
back breadths, which should hang in
godet pleats, and form the two panels near
the front.
Silver combs have strong rivals in those
of shell and amber.
Grenadines will be worn this summer,
but crepons will be more fashionable.
A skirt of heavy black gros grain is
suitable with various waists, for one in
light mourning.
The light, tan and beige colors and the
serviceable black and navy serges will be
worn again in skirts with shirt-waists dur
ing the coming season.
Black lawn, striped black and white
dimity, also black and white ginghams, are
to be worn by young ladies in mourning
this summer. For their pure white
dresses nahsook and Victoria lawns are
used, also the silk ginghams and cotton
crepons.
Bows of satin ribbon with erect loops

are very popular, and the pins, buckles and
clasps appear in endless variety of pat
terms, brilliants being specially prominent.
Hats are very gay in coloring, and are
either OF two colors, or with the brim and
crown of differing materials. Many of the
large picture hats are finished with a deli
cate straw lace edge, fastened with hand
some gimp. Some of the rough straw hats
in two colors are gay to an extreme.
Jet and gold are seen in trimming COM
b1nations, and also Oriental iridescent
beads with gold and jet. Fur trimmings
are headed with jet bands, and the fancy
for fur is carried so far as to show seal,
sable and mink bretelles on white chiffon
bodices.

M letter shouId be compressed into the
narrow limits of a note, because anOte is
few words at most and should not nearly
fill the sheet. If it does it ceases to be a
note, and letter paper should be used.
The correct note should always lave the
address of the sender either engrossed or
written in the right-hand upper corner OF
the first page. The date should never be
omitted, and Thursday, Wednesday or
Tuesday is not enough; the date of the
month and the year should be clearly writ

not seem to be very taking; however,
will describe one which must have been
very handsome.
The skirt was well hung and lined with
horsehair and composed OF the hnest

in old white Brussels lace, almost without

The girdle was of Smyrna velvet ribbon,

what direction the wind of fashionable
fancy sets.

to confess the truth, have had private
view of several millinery triumphs
which are enough to divert the attention
of the best of US from strictly Lenten
thoughts.
The sensible girl, with the moderate
allowance, will purchase one chic hat from
first-class milliner, and will then look
around and find one or two pretty fancy
straws, for which she will buy some mex
pensive posies and ribbons. Then if she
can design, let her take the chapeaux to
cheap milliner, and tell her exactly how to
trim them, and they can be carefully done
for from so cents to 70 cents apiece.
