| CHERRIES a GREAT FAVORITE-
| Cherries are in high favor with the
( Parisians Just now, not only are they
worn in hats but as corsage and couture
ornaments in the evening. There has
always been a vogue about using these
pretty. little. red balls through the sum-
mer and the pronounced leaning towards
reds Of all shades at present has given
them a decided impetus. Summer gowns
are also embroidered with them, and even
fluffy mousseline de sole ruchings are
edged with embroidered cherries and
green leaves.
THE NEW PIN ROLL.
For once L must depart from my rule,
which ia to write only Of toilettes, and
tell YOU of the new pin roll. Just now
needlework as a fine are has revived and
the prettiest novelties make their ap-
poarance constantly. We all know THAI
with the passing OF the pin-tray came the
revival of the pincushion. The monotony
Of it's old-time pillow form is relieved
by the most decided departure possible
in contour. The ultra-smart pincushion
is a roll that can be spanned between the
thumb and the first finger, but it can be
heightened indefinitely sometimes, reach
ing out the full limit Of tho dressing table
from right to left. 1t Is OF rich SILK,
delicately embroidered or hand-painted.
and finished all round with double and
even triple frills Of silk and lace. The
yelling fad has invaded the pincushion
ranks, and silk and satin covers are
oyerlaid with dainty folds Of silk muslin
that frequently have profuse decorations
of their own A scarlet satin cushion
Of this kind has n mOusseline de sole
cover edged IN lace and decorated with
a hand-painted rose and leaves Of natural
size. Delicate silks are draped in
white net run with narrow ribbons
caught here and there with clusters Of
long-looped bows. The full table length
pincushion, which is more a matter Of
ornament than of utility, is the central
figure Of set, the small cushions pre-
serving the general form of decoration,
but ranging in size to very minute pat
terms devoted, by the way, to little ribbon
pins.

denly very similar sound arose from

our moose snorted and walked several
yards toward where the noise came. He
stopped when he was nearly in front OF

amazement, second moose emerged
from the woods directly opposite the first
one. They gazed at each other with their
