lar superstition this gentleman believed in
the opal very thoroughly and attributed
to its virtues which no other gem pos
sessed. Among the things which he said
about it was that the opal was attached to
its owner by invisible cords, and that it
was impossible to lose it. though it might
be mislaid. The Philadelphia broker on
his return to Philadelphia chose the finest
opal in his collection and had it set in
ring, surrounded by small diamonds, and
at Christmas presented it to his wife. 1t
was truly beauty, and she wore it with
conscious pride.
One day, on returning from days out
Ing, she received quite shock-the opal
was gone. Search proved vain. No trace
of the stone could she discover. Not only
on account of its value. but because she
knew how highly her husband priced the
stone, she hated to inform him of her loss.
at last she felt obliged to do so, when,
greatly to her astonishment. he drew from
his vest pocket tiny package, and pre-
sented it to her. Upon opening it what
was her delight when sne recognized her
lost opal.
More astounding still, her husband af-
hrmed that while he was walking down
Chestnut street day or two before he felt
something under the sole of his shoe
which proved to be the opal which he had
last seen shimmering upon mis- wife's
finger. There was no doubt about it's
being the lost one, for the jeweler who had
set it recognized it also.--Philadelphia

ported models more reasonably here than
anywhere else in America, and let me
quote seasonabe remark: "The choice
OF hat is not such t.ifing matter. Let
none of US deal too lightly with it, but
seek to find one that becomes the wearer
new costume" I, however, only differ
on one point. 1 believe in first securing
the hat.
All the new millinery shows many COM
binatiOns of black and white and black
with ecru. Black straws trimmed with
scarfs of black and white tulle are in great
vogue. The newest toque is called the
mob-cap toque, and it is to be seen made
of black glace silk, lined with green satin
and trimmed with ostrich tips. Hereto
tore glace silk has not been used in this
way. A great feature in the latest millin-
cry is horse-hair lace, ornamented with
pailettes, which has to be woven on the
same pillow as torchon. AS result horse
hair will command larger price than
usual, as it is in great demand. Wells from
eighteen to twelve inches wide are neces-
sary for the large hats, and again the black
nets with white spots will be worn. A
correspondent says ecru muslin is MINGLED
even with black lace, and the most charm
ing capes to shoulders have been prepared
in this fabric-especially in black and
ecru, with cord to emphasize the pattern.
Hatpins are considered very choice
when they are jeweled or enameled, but to
be quite the thing they must now represent
buttercups, daisies or some spring posy,
but must be very small in size and perfect
in coloring. Speaking of bonnet and hat
pins reminds me that | often shudder
when see mothers holding their babies
in their arms with the end of long pin
sticking out from their hats, which is fre-
quently within quarter OF an inch of baby's
eye. Really they should be more careful.
1t is matter of much wonderment to me
that half dozen children do not daily
have their eyes put out.

ruffie of the same is effective. A toilette
can be wonderfully improved by white
or pale yellow fichu. Our bellies will not
be slow to appreciate the charm of these
charming toilette adjuncts once they learn
how to arrange them properly.
A fete dress designed for the Riviera is
worthy of a description, being of heliotrope
taffeta shot with green, enhanced with
blouse fronts and choux bows in white
pleated Grape. The side of the blouse,
tapering box-pleats, and pocket tabs are in
white lace; bows with ends in white satin.
Black velvet throatlet, fastened with e
buckle of brillants and amethysts. Black
transparent hat, covered with billows of
white muslin, interblended with bows of
heliotrope satin. Black aigrettes raise the
brim at the side.
Sad to relate, dresses of grass linen are
going to be common and the smart women
will only tolerate them when made by an
artist over silk, and then, of course, they
cost just as much for the making as any
other sort of frock, but the moment gar
ments are to be had ready made by the
hundreds they cease to be desirable, and
the simple but chic little toilets made at
home are in far better taste. Aim at indi-
viduality, but do not imagine you are
proving yourself to be artistic by going
around in frocks fit only for the family
circle. One strikingly pretty girl here is
usually alluded to with a simile or spoken
of as trump, because she insists on wear
ing garments designed by herself, whicn
she considers highly effective, when. in
reality, not one of them should be worn
outside of her home. and in reply to all
well-meant suggestions she invariably re-
plies that she prefers to be artistic in
stead of being stylish" Ny dear young
woman, did any one ever tell you that
it is possible to be both? But, truly,
it takes all sorts of people to make up our
without a sprinkling of cranks and fad
dists!
There is scrap of news just from New
York which will make us all pause and
consider and it is this. There is a de-
cided movement to supplant the shirt
waist and blouse by pique vest bodice,
which may be made round or pointed,
with short basque in the back. With a
skirt and jacket the results are excellent.
Vogue says:
corn-yellow or buff pique vest bodice
will be in good taste for beige color or blue
material. If the vest is pointed it should
be buttoned in front. When the waist is

finish. A pique fitted necKband, quite

1t has long been permissible for men to
wear Tuxedo coat at home for dinner,
so now in Europe women who lave worn
elaborate tea gowns (Which were really
nothing more nor less than stylish Prin-
cess gowns) at such functions now hail
with Joy the tea jacket, which is certainly
an advance upon the tea gown, as it offers
several advantages, being more becoming
to most women and less expensive, thus
admitting of many changes. 1t takes up
but little room when packing and is readily
slipped on, and it certainly is a novelty
which at once recommends it to our con-
sideration. 1t is usually composed of silk,
satin, or any rich fabric, in combination
with lace. mousseline de sole or chiffon,
and fits closely but comfortably. So we
NAV look for long reign of this new con-
lection.
The very handsome jacket given you
this week is of black brocade, tie pattern

broidered with steel and silver, and an ap-

on black satin. Black Chantilly lace
adorns this little coat, and the hat is
chip with black tulle bows and handsome
block tips.

LOST OPAL STRANGELY FOUND.

A wealthy broker of West Philadelphia
had rather singular experience the other
day. He and his family have had in their
possession for number of years some very
handsome opals, but the superstition
which was formerly entertained concern
ing the stones being unlucky prevented
him from making use of the gems. Last

gems.
