TABLE DECORATIONS.
Unique Arrangements of Tables and
Flowers for Dinners and Lunch

cons.
With each year the demand for unique table
decorations seems to be the increase.
Every hostess is DESTROYS of finding some
novelty OF one kind or another. There never
was a time when the decorator had so free
hand as at present. So long as they are
handsome and unusual any and all styles of
decorating are permissible. The low mounds
and loosely scattered blossoms and foliage
are as popular as the taller style of, dozen
years ago, which Dame Fashion has now re-
turned to us with the spring decorations, but
not in the solid mass made Of every kind of
flowers of old. Two varieties are all that
are allowable at one time, and simplicity and
grace indispensable qualities.
Ribbons are still very much used and they
are of great assistance to the decorator where
color is wanted and cannot be obtained in the
necessary blossoms.
A charming scheme OF decorations at yell
low dinner was carried out as follows: A
white and gilt wicker basket filled with yell
low roses, asparagus ferns and dropping
smilax was hung from the shaded drop light
of the chandelier by bright yellow satin rib
bons, and came to within six inches of the
table. double line of wide yellow ribbons
covered with delicate sprays of green vines
crossed the square table, and was finished
with bows at the corners. On the two op-
posite corners were silver candelabra with
yellow candles and shades standing in
wreaths Of single row of yellow panses and
their green leaves. Silver dishes were filled
with yellow .bonbons and sailed Almonds

relations get them now whenever they
are not Sold and often are enabled
thereby to go into society. Brilliant
marriages have been made by JUST
such deeds of kindness.
Sometimes a woman who Is busy LII
her social life will send trunkfuI Of
clothing she does not want to a friend
who can distribute it where it is most
useful.
Such a case occurred not long ago.
Five women received a comfortable
supply for the season, two of whom
would not have been able to securs
good engagements for the winter If
they had not been we'll dressed. When
trunks are given away they contain
not dresses alone, but shoes, coats, I'M
derwear, handkerchiefs and gloves.
Secondhand clothes dealers no long
er profit to any great extent from the
cast-off wardrobes of the rich, although
some evening dresses make their way
to man with the dignified title OF
Ladies Tailor" who freshens up the
garments and sells them to Western
dressmakers as exclusive importations.

and the jacket effect will be given by
satin.
NO NEED FOR SKILL
Oddly enough, the turn-back revers
of these new jackets seem appropriate
on a low-cut waist and they look
graceful standing out over the Shout
ders and tapering in at the waist line.
Just for change the waist sometimes
will be of satin and the lace or en-
broidery will be laid on in jacket eff
feet. A black velvet gown made up
like this with white satin and pearl
passementerie, with just a bit of real
point lace thrown in, Is about as hand
some an affair as can be imagined,
and invariably becoming.
One great advantage in this style is
that it does not require the services of
skillful dressmaker to trim waist
in this fashion satisfactorily. Provided
the waist itself fits well, it is not in the
least difficult to put on the jacket of
lace, passementerie or velvet. An Eaton
jacket on the contrary, requires to be
we'll made, for it must fit into the fig
ure, and this is difficult to accomplish
when only one dart is allowed, and that
is all that fashion will permit Great
care must be taken with each and all
of these jackets to have the collar of
the inside waist carefully and becom-
ingly made. OF course there has to be
the high frill at the back, and this must
be put inside the band Of the collar it
self so that the collar of the jacket
which is always turned over, can fit
close and snug to the back of the neck
These minor details make or mar a
gown, and never were they more neces-
sary than they are now, with the fussy
style Of dress which this fashion de-
mands. Anne Helme.

society danes, who has ordered it made espe-
cally for the opera.
+ 1t Is not too much to say that the butterfly
tiara would make almost any woman beauti-
full. If 1t does not do this it will attract SO
much attention that the woman under IT
will be of far subordinate Importance. In.
the first place, it is so large that the coiffure
is not noticeable. The hair may be worn
either low or high, according to the special
demand of the wearer's style The crown is
fastened to the head by thin gold band,
which fits tightly, like fllet. Next to this
band is string of tiny flowers, represented
by rare pearls, and from this arises a small
swarm of glittering insects quite the most
beautiful that ever rested upon a fair lady's
hair. They are made wholly from diamonds
In all shapes and Sizes and the diamonds
are so cunningly set and the butterflies so
in the air rather than firmly attached to the
golden band. The butterfly tiara will be the
most popular ornament of the season.

as possible to the comparatively warm outside
air.
Although the ice cream thus shipped is in
almost every case meant only for use aboard
the steamer, there is at least company
in this city which has customers in the West
Indies and thus actually exports its wares,
in the common meaning of the word. The
trade is small as yet, and was brought about
entirely through the steamship companies.
Sending ice cream from this city out into
the country by rail is also an important
branch of the business. The distances are
far more limited than when it can be sent
by water owing to the amount of the eX-
press charges. The process also is simpler,
for on account of the rapidity of the trans
portation no refrigerators are necessary and
the tubs are placed directly upon the cars.
Towns and country villages within a radius
of from 100 to 200 miles of New York are
suppIied with mort of their ice cream from
freezers advertised, the methods of which
are warranted to be lightning quick and in
falIible, the number Of people who make
their own ice cream is comparatively small.
Many have tried it, and many have failed.
After course of watery or gritty connections,
which bore only an extremely faint resem-
bance to the desired article, the amateurs
have usually returned to the kind manufact-
ured by some well-known metropolitan firm.

TIARAs TO BE THE VOGUE.
JeveIIed Crown of Butterfly Pattern
the Favorite Hair Ornament

Opera gowns are to be remarkably brilliant
this year, and what they lack in themselves
is to be made up by the lavish. use Of jewels.
The leading idea in this seasons display is
that too many gems cannot be worn, and that
the more the better. In consequence, every
woman will not only wear all the jewels at
her command, but feel decidedly grieved if
she has not at least one magnificent new
ornament with which to dazzle the opera
going multitudes. Tiaras arctic be preferred

BARGAIN COUNTERS IN RICH HOMES
Wealthy Women Have Taken to Sell

In the world Of fashion where the re-
quirements for gowns are so impera-
tive, each season brings a new lot, not
one or two gowns, but dozens, some
from Paris and London and others
from our own modistes. The accumu-
lation of dresses at the end of the sea-
son is, therefore, most appalling, for
few of one years gowns are utilized
for another season. In spite of her
love for dress, the American woman
has a practical side to her nature, and
when the necessity for economizing is
realized she does not give up her
gowns, her wraps or her millinery, but
