mild tobacco with lots of aroma. They are called
Egyptian cigarettes, but they are made of Turk
ish tobacco. We make them stamped in gold
and with a gold tip for $3.50 n hundred. But
all women cannot afford to have their Gig
arcttes made to order, so they smoke ordinary
Egyptians at 90 cents a package. Then lots OF
women smoke American cigarettes at 5 and 10
cents u package" he added, with a shrug.
Jewellers say they know that the use of ciga-
rcttcs, by women is rapidly increasing. because
there is such n demand for cigarette cases for
women. They are made smaller and thinner
than those for men. One firm reports that II sells,
on an average, twenty such cases n week.
The Notwithstanding mania is spreading rap
idly in London among women. There, as here.
for n long time 1t has been confined to two
cl~asses-those in society and those in the dcmi-
monde. But now the women of the great mid
die class, on down TO the flower girls in the
street. are finding pleasure or solaCc, or what
ever II Is, that women get out of n little tobacco
and paper in an nftcr-dinncr smoke.

are kept in stock in the colors mentioned and
arc made to order OF any shade desired.
Women Of the elder generation look with
horror on everything but snowy underwear, and
when one turns from tho colored sets to those
made OF white batiste or nainsook one feels
that they had good ground to prefer the simpler
fabrics. Many of tho night gowns are made
with largo collars behind, which are slashed so
rs to form cpaulettes. One style made in this
way has a little bolero jacket in front, which Is
very fetching. Tho garment is made Of nnin-
sock, and the collar, opaulottes. and boloro
trimmed with Torchon insertion 80 fine that
1t deserves another name. The long sleeve is
finished with a straight cuff. larinG at the hand.
Another style is finished II at the back Of the neck
with a sailor collar, tucked diagonally in OPP
posite directions. so as to form tiny diamonds.
This comes around In front and terminates at
the waist in deep revers. Still another, trimmed
In an initiation OF real lace which Is near
enough perfect to fool oven an expert,
has o deep plated fiounco at the neck,
forming a fluffy jabot in front. This one
has a standing collar, really a puff, and q coll
ored ribbon shows through tho fno insertion.
Torchon lace is being moro used on undercloth-
ing than ever before, and no wonder. for some of
the patterns look like cobwebs, and at the Same
time they wash better and are moro durable
than other much used laces.

LITTLE HINTS OF FASHION.

Tho new shoes for day wear in London have
flaps and large buckles; those for evening wear
are cut very low, and ornamentcd with tiny
steel buckles. Colored kid shoes are in high
favor-rose tints, heliotrope in many shades,
greens of every hue. and China blue taking the
lead. Unless the colors are we'll chosen the effect
is strikingly vulgar.
Steel promise to become as popular
as they were several years ago. Fortunate 10
the woman who has the habit of saving things,
for she can take out her steel Of any
description, don them, and rest assured that she
is doing the correct thing. Steel combs ara
much worn, and look well against either dark or
light hair. Velvet bands for the neck, thickly
sewed with steel. are also in high favor.
Paris sends word that the ruff is once more tho
fashion there. II is made generally in lissc or
chiffon, very wide at the back and decreasing in
size at the front. Some ruffs, however, are OF
the same width all around. The most gigantic
OF these ruffs extends to the ears and is finished
with a ii T4 Of plated chiffon reaching 70 the
stitute for the fur boa.
The SWEETEST sailor hat this season, in white OF
colors, has a brilliant plaid or striped silk band.
II a woman wishes to be at the height of Pa.
risian fashion she must tilt her hat over her
nose. wear u twist of tul!c under her chin, put
on tightly lifting sleeves and innumerablc little
friils all over her gown.
The fashionable tint for lace Is that of ripe
corn. more of a buff than the butter color OF last
spring. 1t is exceedingly rich looking.
Princess gowns crop up Just as persistcntly No
poke bonnets. 1t is not likely that they viii
take. since so few women look well in clothes Of
such severe cut
Narrow velvet ribbon is used on everything.
An imported cape of old rose silk has row "
black velvet ribbon running down it at intcrva,.
of about an inch. Round the shoulders the Xix
is plated in so thickly that at the neck nothing
is visible except the ribbon.
Silk is so cheap that 1t is almost n glut in he
London market. The newest patterns are carly
Victorian in design and color. Small and luras
checks, conventional flora, and Comctric iiSuGcs
denote u return 10 old modes.
Cashmere is coming into vogue again. Dealers
say that its return is being greeted with en-
thusiusn. There never was n more manage

which is the ideal TO wear awhocl in sprin- and
summer. Now small plain toqucs OF very l.-!:

tese lace, and 1t is as practical and comfortable
as IL Is pretty. In the finest materials this gar
ment costs about $lS. but fortunately for those
who put about that sum into four whole sets,
this model is to be found from So up.
That little garment, tho corset cover, plays an
important part In the success or failure Of the

dainty Swisses and batistes. Long ago wo-
men gave up the idea of finding q model
for this garment that would not shrink
or stretch after 1t had been sent to
the laundry two or three times. This problem
has been simply solved for them. All of the
newes models are gathered into u belt at the
waist and can be let out or drawn in at will.
Most of them are laid in plaits or finely tucked
behind, but they are marvels of elaborateness in

square. and others droop from the shout
