THE NOVEL AND COSTLY DETAILS
COMPRISING 4 SPRING TOILET.
Veil Pins Are Rich and Beautiful,
RivaIing in Elaboration the New
ParasoI Handles-PIaid Hosiery,
Gay Hosiery, Gay Little Fans, and
Ratiste handkerchief.

Women who are not unreasonably eX-
/ travagant don't hesitate at buying a half
dozen sets of veil pins. Some of tur-
ouoise set in a wreath of cut steel, some
cabochon emeralds in gypsy settings and
others in the form of little gilt buckles
and fancy shields. French gilt and
cheap enamel or imitation stones are
their composition, though in at the jew
elers numbers OF really costly and love-
ly pins are sold TO do duty on ones hat.
The jewellers, 100, are Offering many of
the new designs in ornamental dress but
tons. These are of opalescent white pearl
and irridescent mother OF pearl carved,
evidently by japanese artists, and then
studded with the smallest diamonds and
cclCred stones. At the dry goods shops
these are initiated in less exquisite cary
ing and the whole button is set in hoop
OF rhinestones or charmingly carved steel
circles to take the place or miniature and
porcelain buttons. Canoes have come to
the surface in the search for something
novel. Just how such lovely effects, as
SylDh-like SnoW-White Ceres on a soft
blue ground of translucent stone are ar
rived at it is hard to explain. These de-
pend on their beautiful cutting and con-
trasts OF colorings for effects and are to
the eyes long wearied by painted china,
wonderful joy and relief.
FOR PARASOLS.
Something similar in design is being
accomplished for parasol handles though
many most enchantngly lovely sun shades
are mounted on simplest curved sticks of
yellow bamboo or carved red cedar, while
a few have appeared with interesting
taffS of teak wood carved evidently in the
east. Another notion is to enamel the
handle the exact shade of the silk that
covers the ribs and one imported beauty,
in short green silk with delicate spires of
cream lace outlining each rib had the
handles encrusted for four inches in dia-
monds and Turquoise of goodly proper
tons set in the top.
None of the new handles are exaggerat-
ed in length but the novel paraSol has its
silk cover very deeply scooped out be-
tween every rib and the notion is to lay
on a first cover of brightly Powered silk.
Over this is then tightly stretched sec
ond one of white Duchess lace that falls
in a full godet frill over and far below
the points of the gilded parasol bones
Enhancing to look upon but far too
fragile TO tempt discreet purchaser are
the parasols covered with one layer of
swiss muslin over which, at intervals of
five inches little puffingS of chiffon run
caught down by tufts of field flowers.
These trifies. for as protection against
the sun they amount to nothing, are
meant to use at late afternoon garden
parties and driving in the park.
NOVEL HOSIERY.
The unavoidable Scotch plaid has at
last crept into the hosiery department
and the smartest stockings for at home
wear, for afternoon teas etc, show the
plaid of the Camerons, Douglasses, or
royal Stuarts. They are woven in silk
and Isle thread and now the fancy of the
modish women, when in all her bali room
splendors, is for gorgeously clicked stock |
ings. Stockings with graceful paitte !
dragons romping up either ankle or |
beautiful gold and silver bullion lilies are
the desired novelties. Designs like these |
are done on the richly colored petunia |
and capucine colored silk hose that wo-
men have agreed to wear with gowns of |
whatever shade, so that the feet are now /;
clothed Independently of the prevailing |
tints of ones toilet
But color does not dominate every
where. Handkerchiefs for instance are |
white, all white and the prettiest of them |
appear in faint tone of cream in very
soft batiste. These are embroidered in
lny points around the edges and then [
bordered with row of wee crescents |
The batiste muchiors are never starched |
and those of linen have Honiton initials |
let into their corners. A letter in three
of the corners and ones crest in the
forth. Another very pretty little hand |
kerchief, for full dress, has the four
linen corners scooped out and deep points
of the finest point applique let in. The
linen squares for every day use are very
chaste in their unblemished whiteness,
showing a. narrow hemstitched edge, be-
yond which is beading only of white
The beaded stitch also forms
one lnltldl letter Wnlle the monogram is
in complete temporary seclusion
FANCY FANS.
One branch of the Japanese trade will
suffer seriously this spring for the new
fans are now all made on the model of
those Vatican used so charmingly to
paint. One can buy the most picturesque
little paper ones with quantity gilded
sticks and the tinted paper tops litho-
yraphed in cunning colored designs of
court ladies and beribboned shepherdes-
'es. There are more expensive ones of
silk, well painted and gay with gold and
oliver sequins and one and all these are
small, not more than six inches to eight
inches long and meant for use rather
han ornamentation.
