But the prettiest form Of the clover orna-
ment is to be found in garter buckles
The garter, for some reason, holds an IN
worthy place in the company of the ward
robe. It is spoken of only with bated
breath, although it has played an import
ant part in history in its time. The hap,

origin, contrary to general belief. Away
PACK N the time of the Vedas it seems
that the HindOo maidens were in the hab-

II Sir Edwin Arnold is correct. This gen
tleman has recently translated from the
Sanskr1t the "Chaurapa an In
dian love poem in fifty very ardent stan
zas, one of which clearly shows that the
maiden was addicted to the gum habit:
And sometimes I remember, when we
dipped
Our joys in wine, how her fine blood
would flush
Ruddier to mouth and limb and how she
tripped
With livelier steps while saffron flowers
blush
And Kasmir gums and hill deer's bag
For breath too sweet and pearl teeth, idly
eating

this damsel had a face clear carven like

The new ribbons are very attractive
and are evidently going to be, more than
ever, a feature of dress trimming There
are gorgeous plaids and the most fascinat-
ing array of stripes, up and down and
in fha u
four shades of one color are striped togeth-

edge; and then, again, there are many
stripes of contrasting colors blending to-

the ribs running crosswlse, some in lovely
colors, the newest being a clear shade of

Returning importers are glad to report
that even in Paris the dress" sleeve sim
shows some pretty and graceful arrange
ment of cap frill, or puff at the top. On
tailor gowns for utility uses very many
sleeves are merely close coat shapes, with
but little extra fulness on the upper por-
ton; and the mutton-leg style on demi-
dress gowns is an extremely diminutive
model, but a very popular one.
Chemises are made rather short than
long, and rather close fitting, says a New
York fashion writer. Some of them are
cut square. with three insertions of Va
lenciennes and a fall of the same lace
