years, is shown at so cts; another of main
sock having insertion at the centre of yoke
for 80 cts; and third with three inser-
tons in yoke for IS cts. Apropos of the
little ones ''toe in shoe has been in
troduced, and from its construction
compels the child TO turn it's toes out,

PARAsoLs DO NOT ESCAPE
the existing furore for tucking, and nine
or fen tucks at the edge, or clusters of
tuoks throughout, ornament plain colored
silk paIasols, which will ego with any
thing" Another 'fad'' in trimming is
narrow satin ribbon, and an entire cover
ing of alternate rows in two colors, put
on just full enough to form slight wave,
is very fashionable. oY such border is
often seen where the upper part is of rich,

the necessary finish. Spangled nets rival
grenadines for evening OF house wear;

renewed beauty in combinations of satin
stripes and floral figures, to be always
worn over lining which embodies the !
prominent color of the material. Sashes !
of all kinds are extremely popular,
particularly Roman sashes, and Roman
ties are shown to great advantage on shirt
waists.
