The long chains that are used by
the ladies of today for their half n
hundred little charms were worn by
| the Titan ladies long ago.
In place of the scarf or stick pin
the old time breaches are utilized in
every way.
We are getting the color of the girl

White is not only in the air. but all
about us, This is the first time in Il

A most pleasing novelty in bouquets
is n large cluster of Wooten roses with
number of single dark blue viOlets
embedded in the center of each rose.
The Wooten is a deep shell pink rose,
whose petals are widely spread when
the flower is fully blown, and when

color contrast is very effective. Tied
loosely with pink ribbon duplicating
the roses in shade, it is very beautiful
indeed.
The "taliSman cane" is the latest
fad devised by girls as n gift to their
Sweethearts? What is it? A bulky
walking stick with a delicate picture
of the loved one in the handle. The
picture must be q miniature and owe

riding in the street car, or waiting on
the corner; just think of the blessed
inspiration your lover will draw from
the close contact of his lips with your
dainty face.
The latest fad in decoration for
halls and private houses upon the &C.
casion of swell functions, such as
young ladies' dances, dinners, recep-

use of the class or school colors. These
colors are usually very picturesque
in their combination, so that the color
scheme carried out in floral or bunt-
ing effects, is exceedingly brilliant
and fetching.
The Bachelor Girl is met with

this thusly? Is it because our girls
are losing their effeminacy in the too
positions they are taking
and the manly sports, and costumes,
they have adopted. In one Of our sis
ter states congressman has intro
duced bill prohibiting the wearing
of shirt waists, ties and walking hats.
Now the girls will eXclaim. What an
old fOgyr' But perhaps he has the in

One of our leading papers has COM
mented upon the independence of the
girl of today in the following concise
manner: lis man becoming entirely
as a factor in social life?
1t almost seems so, for girls are get !
