in shape, into which are let old colored
prints of danes of the Empire period,

of Dresden pattern. It is made OF white

the broad ribbon bow and ends that en-
circle the top and droop down. The
edge is scaIloped in deep siDuOus points
and painted in a broad pink band with
narrower edge OF gold. This costs 81
beauty in crinkled white silk is for

A Louis XIV frame has a heart-shaped
opening, and is painted around with paie
tinted ribbons, which tie in many-looped

row brass framework, showing through IL
a bit of rough paper painted blue FOR Yale,
or orange and black for Princeton, with d
bewitchiug young damsel In ball attire

FOR THE TABLE.
The new table favors are the most art
istic yet shown, the three favurite styles
being the Louis XVI., the Emlire and
the rocuco. These are most used at
breakfasts and luncheons, though they
occasionally serve to beautify a dinner
table. The Louis XVI. pattern Is Of
thick white paper, wreathed with roses
or fOrget-me-nots in hand painting, and
the painted bow knots So dear to the
heart of the young kings lovely, unfor-
tunate consort, Marie Antoinette. The
open box is square in shape, and is meant
to hold an ice OF an entree; the larger
covered box is round and serves for bon
bOns, while the tiny one is for sugared or
salted almonds. Another, Louis XIV.
design, is in pink satin. the boxes edged
with gilt scroll work. while jewels are set
on and are charming in effect. TIE
rocco favors are very decorative for
table, as they are of cilded paper painted
in big full blown roses and their foliage
Table covers come from So to $40 dozen.
The German favoIs are pretty and
unique. Little ring and stud boxes in
paper painted in different college colors,
and representations of rings. studs or cuff
buttons on the cover. Stickpln cases OF
eider-down flannel in pale hues, made with
a long strip of chamois inside, in which

to be tied with narrow satin ribbous. Huge
silken roses, lilies, asters and orchids are
used. long-stemmed and gay-tinted. Little
djustable work boxes and painted trlfles
and knickknacks galore, till one wonders
where all the new ideas came from.
