FADS AND FASHIONS.
White turnover collars and cuffs are
fashionable. They are made OF embroi-
dered null and edged with narrow val
enciennes lace.
Even the new designs In stationery are
showing the miniature effect. They are
the tfniest OF monograms. set in an
oval Of gold or silver, no larger than a
ten-cent piece, with the tiny Empire bow
at the top.
The latest after-dinner coffee tray Is
long. narrow piece of glass set Ia silver.
with large silver handles.
There has been a revival Of the old
fashioned low three-legged stool. which,
in olden times. was known as a light
stand" containing the candle stick AID
"snuffer," to be placed side the bed
New slippers are OF black satin, with
an applique of Brussels lace.
Elbow sleeves are seen in most of the
long party gloves are worn for the
street.
Taffetas are the silks OF the hour. The
plaids, now so fashionable for waists,
are suggestive OF Joseph's coat in the
combination of different colors. Chine
has entirely superseded the MORE effect.
Those having the pompadour designs are
very popular.
The fn de steele maiden now wears a
veil of fine Tuxedo mesh of firm make.
lightly dotted with chenille loops and
spots. One yard should be allowed for a
large hat.
one OF the handsomest opera capes
seen recently was of yellow velvet. lined
with white satin and bordered with white
fox.
She'll jewelry Is slowly but surely COM
into vogue. The latest side combs are
ornamented with brilllants and are an
effective addition TO the couture.
The heliotrope Is good plant for house
cultivation. Ii Is subject to few dis
eases and very free from insect enemies.
Il is a kttie difficult to start. but once a
footing Is gained 1t gives good satisfac-
ton. needing only an abundance of sun
shine and water.
Individual candles for the dinner table
are now tinted to match the shades.
Lavender gives pretty. soft light, in
which case the shade is prettily orna-
mented with vioiets.
Swallow bows are taking the place OF
butterfly bows. and are made in this way:
Take stiff glace ribbon two or three
inches wide and cut one end with long
sharp points. like a swallows tall Place
a loop below, which represents the thick
ness OF the birds body. and then two side
ends cut in diagonal points for the wings.
With a rosette as a finish this makes
very effective bow. A charming hat.
trimmed with two or three swallow bows,
one on either side. was OF black leghorn,
with f'uted rim and a full red June rose
In each flute. .
Sealing wax has again come into favor
with women OF fashion. Its color tells
the sentiment 81 the letter.
Hats for the coming summer are to be
after the Empire styles. The little bon
net Of Josephine Is to be generally adopt
