The summer girl is going to wear
wonderful shoulder collars in lace and
embroidery. You can call them capes II
you like, for they are meant for out of
doc graments, but they are collars moth
ing more nor less and miraculously
dainty ones. The last French steamer
bought coquttish little star-shaped
affair of pale apple-green silk, covered
with black net embroidered in star de-
signs. From the bottom hung rufile,
deep as the cape itself and very full, of
black lace of equisite pattern. The cap
had around, high collar of nct-covrd silk.

The girl who knows will look out for
linen. 1t is the coming summer ma
terial. Linen frocks imported for coun-
try wear are being shown in the natural
color and in all manner of pretty light
shades. A slim, pure looking, colorless
blonde who would remind me of nun II
she put herself in ballet dancers costume,
has u linen flock of delicate green, lined
with the palest Of yellow silk The skirt
is six or seven yards round at the bottom,
but is gored so as TO flt very closely at the
hips. 1t has peal green silk blouse over
which is worn an Elton jacket of the
linen, corded about with green and yell
low. Linen gowns of the natual color
have blue or cream colored or pink silk
blouses, and the smartest of them are silk
lined.

The modern edition of the stuggle be-
tween David and Goliath is interesting
Goliath is the big hat, David the little
bonnet. For the moment, while spring
winds blow, David has his innings in
few weeks, when the sun gets hot, 1t
will be Goliaths turn.
The prettiest of the lite bonnets are
three cornored and are worn with point
behind and one over each ear. They call
them Mary Queen of Scots shape, but
the beautiful queen wore something far
more simple and demure. The fin de steele
girl perches her triangular scrap SO far
Il
lawyer could guess how she keeps IL on.
She has to have special kind of veil
puckered over her waves of hair in front
of 1t, and to make it perfectly evident that
the bonnet Is ms saucy as 1t is small she
has long stemmed roses or gay tulips
standing far out from the sides of 1t, and
butterfly wings Of spangled tulle.

letter paper are very small, exactly half
the size of those that have been in vogue,
and 1t is customary to put them in the
upper left hand corner of the sheet.
The fancy for lavender note paper has
declined and delicate shade known as
"szure" is much used. A fine quality
of bond paper, either white or azure, with
tiny monogram outlined in silver, and
the writer's address stamped below the
monogram, is considered good taste at
present.
Crests are now discarded by most re.
fined people, who feel that to have the
crest displayed on their stationery in ad
dition to the monogram looks ostenta
tious and is suggestive of as training after
effect, etc.
A kind of paper known rs snowflake, I"
a mottled effect on pale azure ground,
and "Scotch granite, a chintzy- looking
paper in delicate tints, are both favorites.
The new writing papers imported par
ticularly for 1895 are exceedingly odd and
even bizarre I'm character, being appar-
emily far more suitable for wall covering
than for furnishing writing desk Some
of these papers are brocaded in large fig
ures and so fine and satiny in the texture
that they closely resemble silk
A dark ecru, crush strawberry and Pc
culiar green are some of the new shades
shades so pronounced that 1t Is hard to
fancy anyone courageous enough to use
| them.
AS an alternative to the brocaded pa
pers, there is style of paper with q
rough, pebbly surface, coarser looking
than any that have yet invaded the mar
ket
The stationery used in mourning Is
brought out with the borders varying in
depth and blackness according to the in
dividual taste. A person in excessive
grief may parade note paper bordered
quite half-inch deep with black. For
those tightening their mourning just a
narrow rim Of black is used.

The newest straws are very soft and
bright and loosely plated You would
take them for silk instead of straw. In
deed, the are silk sometimes. That is,
