was encircled by a band of black jet, and

were ordered by Americans who were
very sensible in their choice. As one Of
the purchasers was in ha1 mourning,
she selected a black and white silk made
with three short capes, the last one Just
reaching to the waist, each one of the
capes being finished with a narrow cord
of white silk. The high collar was of
black velvet, and the cape was lined with
white.
The other cape was a green silk
striped with very delicate rose pink. and
made with one fun ruffie from shoulder

lining was of pink satin.

brown stockings, to be worn with the tan

in black, and it is extremely chic.
White gloves have never been more sue
cessful than they are now, and every
woman possesses at least a dozen pairs of
these. one, l ind, can easily do this in
Paris where, If you are clever, YOU can
purchase the incest sort of "A white lace
glove for 80 cents, and thus, in having
such a large number, you do not give them
such hard wear. The newest in stitching
on these gloves is a double row of black
and white on the white glove.
Dainty miniature pins, surrounded by
gold or brilliants, are the favorite pieces
of JeWelry, and they certainly are pretty
with the exquisite faces of Nine Re-
camier and the other beauties of the EN-
pire time, painted so we'll and set off by
the jeweled or gold edging.
Lace collars, deep and of every quality
and pattern OF lace, are seen all about the
shops, worn with dark gowns in great
numbers. They are deeper than they we're
last season and of a heavier lace One
of ecru, on green erepon bodice, was a
great success.
Slippers are made of yellow kid, on the
style of the "Romeo." and these have a
broad steel buckle at the front and are
used in the carriage in place Of ties. An
other fad in slippers is to have them
of tan, finishing with black binding of
silk and adorned with black rosettes or a
black jet buckle.
Umbrella handles of ivory, studded with
small feur-de-lis, are the latest in that
department of feminine belongings, but
they are very expensive, and / like quite
as well some of the wooden handles with
round tops of cloisenne or Dresden, with
a rim of gold. The swagger shape how

Fronts come in every material. In every
style and at every price, so, consequently,
everybody wears them. The newest are
those of cornhower blue crepons, made
up with a high collar and two small
rosettes at the side, while from that falls
the gathered crepon, with a yoke of ''hon-
eyconfb," then ruffie. and then the Gre
pom drawn down into the belt Another
front Of rose and black striped silk had
full collar OF black chiffon and the front
of the silk falling from the collar to the
waist in accordion pleats.
Yokes of steel and capes of this material
are fashionable, but are Injuries One

in knots, with a collar of solid steel This
adorned a plain black crepon waist and
was the only bit of trimming on a plain
black silk crepon displayed at a recent
opening.
Wells continue to be simple with an
occasional novelty which, however, new

mesheS with dots. or a rather heavy
mesh, perfectly plain, are the favorites.
Golden brown yelling, with an entire
brown toilette is pretty, but in all other

all sorts and conditions of headgear.
