Handkerchief Embroidery

Colored handkerchiefs, handsomely
embroidered, are the vogue. Birds and
insects are preferred TO floral designs
for decorative purposes.
Ecru linen kerchiefs, with stripes or
checks of lavender, reseda, green or oil
pink are among the smart combinations
for general utility purposes.
Bees, delicately outlined form prct-
ty border, and upon either side of them
a narrow hemstitched band is sparsejy
embroidered, with large growth of the
busybodies.
Handkerchiefs TO match the gown in
color are quite the proper thing, and for
evening wear flimsy bits of mousseline
de sole, edged by several ruffies of point
d'esprit lace only are correct.
Embroideries are either in contrast
ing shades or white. Plain bordered ones
at the Maison Blanc are quite chic, Deep
purple and white centers, bordered by
black duchesse lace, are the accepted
styles for mourning.
Monograms are done in outline stitch,
and are frequently placed in the center
of the handkerchief This is, however. Il

Hand In Hand

NEW YORK, Feb S.-By far the odd
asst feature of the season Is the fact
that fashion and economy are swinging
down the promenades hand In hand.
1t is long years since anything OF this
sort has come to pass and matron and
maid are filled with rejoicing that the
unexpected has really happened.
Strangely enough, it is one of the
most modest of precious stones that has
brought ,the truth to light, and the
turquoise promises to be hereafter a
blessed memory, although ever present

turquoise has been in the background for
some time, and We have all thought 1t

not knowing what to wear, make guess

There are those who go so far as to
say that the sounding of the popularity
of the turquoise IS really the death
knell of the diamond disguised. Long
months ago the opal gained such prom
inence that there were plenty of predic-
tions to the effect that at last, despite
the terrors of superstition, the diamond
had found a genuine rival. And now
comes the turquoise, TO clinch the ar
gument, as it were, ard change the
whole trend of the market for precious
stones.
Therefore it is that between seasons
talk is largely devoted to gems. OF
course we are all wondering what we
are going to wear next winter. Deep
down in our hearts that is the prinipal
thing that we are thinking about. 1t is
not the way Of woman, however to
talk of what most interests her, so the
conversation turns to the turquoise and
its beauties. Very beautiful they are
when properly set. surrounded with brill
liants. Small wcnder that their beauty
has at last won the recognition to which
it was long ago entitled.
1t seems very queer to think of tur-

of the fashionable jewelry this season,
diamonds taking second place. but tha,
