TRIMMINGS IN VELVET.
Demolition of the Fashionable Mantles
and CloakS.

and Cl0akS.
Yes. black velvet is very much the style;
and that's were all the difficulty lies. The
moment thing gets to be the rage, your
ultra-fashionable begins to look about for
something in the way of departure An
other objection to black velvet is the fact that
the velyeteens so closely resemble it, when
they are quite new and of the best quality.
that it Is the easiest thing in the world for
even the poor women to have what seems to
be a velvet wrap.
That is why there are great many of those
costly mantles laying about swell establish
ments waiting the sharp shears of madam to
demolish their rich beauty. 1t Is "A great
pity that We order quantities of beautiful
fabrics, only to tear them asunder and re-
duce them to little more than shreds.
One Of the wraps has already been sacri-
feed, and now adorns q white satin ball
gown. 1t has been made into tiny choux
that trim the edge of the skirt at intervals of
i've inches. 1t appears in two slender straps
that hold up the low-cut lace corsage. 1t is
carried across the front of the corsage in q
slender drapery, and it falls from one side Of

A Dutch Bonnet.

The modern girl is copying the picturesque
Dutch peasant. She has borrowed her head
dress and is wearing it to the theaters as
bonnet. In fact the most fashionable bonnet
of the hour is genuinely Dutch but only in
name, Rs it is as chic ana captivating as any
French creation in the land. The bonnet fits
closely to the head in front, has a fiat, tight
fitting crown and is finished at the back with
graceful bow.
A much admired Dutch bonnet is made of
black velvet. The band in front, which fits
closely TO the head. is frightened by rhine
stone buckle. At each side 1t is finished with
a pink rose. The velvet is drawn smoothly
back over the head and then arranged in a
bow with two full. outstanding loops and two
which fall gracefully over the hair. In shape
it is almost an exact copy of a Dutch peas
ants headdress.

HER COSY CORNER.
A Delight to the Eye Besides Being Very
Clever and inexpensive.

A Delight to the Eye Besides Being very
Clever and inexpensive.
If there is anything in the line of interior
decoration capable of becoming quite as
much pleasure as a well-arranged, "cozy
corner" diligent research has failed to dis
cover it. 1t is a delight to the eye and a
delight to the tired body. 1t gives an air of
home-like coziness to the biggest, most bar
rem apartment, and 1t is a charming bit of ap-
propriate decoration for small one.
OF course, any woman whose purse is big
enough can have a remarkably cozy corner
by calling in those obliging gentlemen, the
interior decorators and upholsterers. When
1t is completed it will probably be a very cor
rect and pretty corner. but it will represent
the taste and skill of tho aforesaid gentle
men and not those of the madam herself.
Besides. it will represent an alarming outlay.
1t is better to be ones own decorator and up
holsterer

some time ago achieved a corner which Is the

Seaworthy and Skilled Is Mrs. SchenIey,

In the larger class of yachts one OF the best
known Of English yachtswomen is Mrs. G. A.
Schenley, owner and skipper OF the famous
flye-rater Flat Fish, which ended her first
season with long string of prizes to her
credit. Flat Fish is one of the modern beamy
craft which do their best work in hard winds
and are a bit slow in light weather No matter
what the weather. Mrs. Schenley is always TO
be found at the tiler of her yacht when a race
is on. She handles her boat well at all times
and is not afraid OF getting wet As though
her seasons racing were net enough yachting
for the entire year she is now cruising in tho
Mediterranean with her husband aboard his
I76-ton ketch Goddess. She will probably
have a new racing yacht for next year, as the

Nothing has yet been definitely settled
about the Queens visit to the Riviera, but,

1t is said that the modest rent of $1,000
