There is q tone In the air and a bite In the
winds that make one tbink OF the chcery
Yuletide and all that Christmas may have In
store for us.
All the women who rush along wrapped
up in furs these days are brigbt-eyed and
rOsy-cheeked, and survey With increasing
| interest rs the climax of the year approaches
the attractive displays in the shop windows.
They are in league with the merchants and
not an added trirlc 10 a window escapes
their keen eyes.
And the poor masculine mind! It's In
| maze of bcwilderment. Bent on winning
the regard OF some dear girl. the man sighs
tohimsci as be strolls along after these busy
| shoppers.
Ion. woman, in thy hours of ease, uncer-

on her gay rou nds. Oh! how she does talk--it

GU ODED WITH DlAMONDS-
The jeweler would tell the gratifier of
this whim that they may be had III gold
from Sl2 to $50. and one was shown
studded with diamonds for 81 so. The one
at $50 was decorated with green enamel,
and had the crown and torch of the empire.
II was hung on long neck chain jeweletl
with erneralds. There are also shell
lorgnons for 81 and up. which are very
pretty In their way, and allow OF quite as
much dainty affectation.
A new fad is the cutglass yinagretto with
| a pointed bottom and n gold jeweled top.
But, bless you, they are from 20 cents to
$500. Yet they are the very latest fancy,
and sure to please milady.
She may fancy the literary pose, and if
she does, such exquisite things, are offered
at the silver case as would ravish ones
pockcibook. There are cut glass, silver

gets started -!
There are similarly conceived mucila &c
bottles So to SIS, silver backed blotters,
So TO $50, silver stamp boxes, $40, silver
paper files, So TO 81, silver candle sticks,
or tiny candelabra for sealing purposes,
S3.15 and on, and silver pen holders, any
thing you like above a dollar.
Another beguilinSithing Is q chatclaine.
The belt hook and 6lains on little silver
affair is $3.50 alo3e but that is only the
Fbegfnning. There IRE. fine trifies to bc
found for this 1ingling p,aything's compile
ton, and you won't get off under S25. Yet
the chatelaine promises to be a great fad.
Every girl who hasn't a desk wants one.
When she gets away from the jewelers. she
goes and feasts her eyes on a furniture win
dow. She knows Perfectly well that they
may be had from SO TO SIS; and She longs to
have one in her ownslittle boudoir with one
of those dear little oak chairs or stools he
fore 1t. II She has a desk. doubtless she
hasn't regular dressing table, and these
simply make her wild with envy. because she
thinks il she had one of those tables, she
would put all he1 pretty accessories upon
II, and she would have-let's see what she
would have.
GLOATS OVER PERFUMES.
She goes to the druggist next and gloats
over perfumes, creams, soaps, powders, Ii
some one wanted to make her really appy,
he might find out her favorite scent and
carry II through its various variations. Let
us say it is violet. With S1.50 he can buy
most lasting and delicate toilet water, a
box Of SOAP, three little packages in dainty
wrappings, 81: cream, to soften her COM
plexion. 90 cents, and powder. 10 dust it
lightly with. 81. Then You might add
violet salts and violet pastels for the bath.
A florists wagon rolling up reminds one
that flowers are the most welcome OF all
visitors on a cold. winter morning. and per-
haps the dear girl-weli. anyho W. let us see
Violets you may get at a certain florists
that are la rye and heavy with perfume. The
dainty fingers OF n Partisan girl will put
them into n slver-coveTed box for you, upon

large corsage bouquet, and she Will tie the
box with broad violet ribbon. 1t will be

play the divinest OF instruments, the guitar.
