| A womans club without class for
| the study of current events IS the ex-
| Ception. While some few clubs exist
solely for that end, many others make II
| only one of their numerous activities.
| The girls colleges and private schools,
| too, have taken up the same line OF
| study, and in some OF them eXamlna-
| tions are given on current topics, and
| cramming for the process is part of
| the furore as was discovered the other
| day when the young woman at news
| stand explained that one of the maga-
| zines was sold out, because it was sold
| to so many schoolgirls who were getting
ready for the examination on current
events
| One of the newest fancies in Paris is
| to have a pretty little dress pocket at
| taChed to the waist by an ornamental
| belt These pockets are made in all
| shades to correspond with the dress, and
very pretty the effect is upon many cos
| tunes These little receptacles are
used to carry card cases, pocketbooks,
tiny fans, and scent bottles or salts, and
are fastened to the belt with little gold
| chain, sometimes set with jewels.
| The latest suggestion for bicyclists is
to wear sandals. No doubt when looked
| upon from a healthy and reasonable
| point of view, these light foot coverings
| would answer admirably. The muscles
| OF the foot and ankle would have per-
| feet freedom of movement and the feet
would be decidedly cooler than when
covered with most Of the shoes worn by
| c, clers. In spite of these advantages,
| however, it will be long time probably
| before these ancient classic articles OF
| footwear will be very generally adopted.

picturesque Arcadian toilets mace

silk lining quickly loses it's elegant eff

gown. Others maintain that when
marred in any way a thin dress made
ND separately can easily be freshened
and pressed-a thing almost impossible
| with one having the silk foundation
sewed in with every seam of the

| The beautiful Valenciennes laces
made by hand proved too expensive for
| anything but rare uses, therefore the
/ machine wrought designs have now
| been brought to the highest perfection
| of quality and beauty Of design in
| Calais, Roubaix and Nottingham, and
| are lavishly used on summer gowns
| and fine lingerie. Coudray and Brus-

made Valenciennes lace, which is never
out of fashion for those who can afford
