or lace over it.
A letter Just received by one of the girls
from Paris tells Of the most marvellous
4an~ouveautes', in the way Of stockings,
says ..Harper,s Bazaar Not stocking TO
be worn in the street, or in the daytime At
all, in fact. but stockings to be worn with
slippers in the evening only. They are q
silk or Isle thread, and very much
open-worked over the ankle and lnstep-
Sewed on, running lensthwise, are SPAN
| giles and beaas, which graduate in size
| from The slipper top to the end OF tne
| open-work, the largest at the bottom, tie
| smallest at the top. They are very eN-
pensive, costing. even in Paris, from s7lN
to ten dollars a pair. The spangles ana
beads are generally in silver or gin, put
can be in colors as well. to correspond
| with the color of the gown they are worn
with. Black stockings look the pest
when spangled, but they come also Ia al
pale shades, and even in bright red.
zone Of the best things about these
! beautiful stockings is" this girl writes
. from Paris. that for Just about nail
what they are selling them at the moo
istes and in the shops YOU can make them
Yourself" It cannot be difficulty TO sew
the spangles on, and certainly the effect
must be lovely. Girls VINO want to look
chic his winter would better take the hint
and get to work spaEgling. what with
painting their gowns, sewing spangles on
their stockings and decorating their man
tel-pieees, the girls will have a busy time
this winter if they want to be
by learning to be useful.
A Swiss matchmaker has invented a
clock with a photographic attachment,
designed especially for the man VINO nas
to be called and called in the morning II
annears that the calls are spelled cut
! p-honographically on pieces Of galvanized
rubber. which are introduced into the
| timepieces. When the hour at which the
| alarm is set arrives the clock immediate
ly begins to talk to the sleeper. The
form of warning that it is past time to
get up may be changed to suit the habits
of the owner. and This suggests almost
iimitless combinations.
Get up! get up! It's six o'clock; set
mr., roared the Geneva clock, and then a
few minutes later on said in a solemn
tome: Nov don't turn over and go TO
sleep again. Get up. You know you We
got work to do; get upH'
The inventor says that the possibilities
Of the new clock are as wide as the pAono-
| graph. the purchaser can even talk INTO
an adjustable cylinder and scold himself
in any language he pleases to have the
clock repeat to hin at the appointed hour
next morning. Or his wife may do this
Tor him.
IF YOU are making a silk underskirt at
home there's such a pretty idea just come
out which you might use for it.
mean the very new way we have now
of using plain material for the undersNirf
itself ana trimming it with a deep hounce
or with narrow ruffles of-may I call it,
polkadotted silk in precisely the same
shade as the skirt itself or ia some shade
which combines prettily with it.
For example. a blue silk pstticoat is ex-
~ceedingiy dainty finished off with a founce
| Of blue dotted in red.
4 yellow skirt is wonderfully effective
with ruffles of yellow silk polkadotted IN
black.
saw one lovely little affair in blue with
polkadot founce-bluet ground, red spot
which had the daintiest of finishing
| touches in a half-ineh Gaping of dull red
ribbon, shirred, used to outline the
hounce. The effect was exquisite.
Don't make the mistake Of thinking that
you can't afford a silk underskirt this
vear simply because you can't afford to
! pay a huge price for it.
There is a deal OF omnaon sense in these
skirts at present, and they come in many
common sense builds.
of course, as is the case every year, a
number of skirts are shown which are
impracticable for steady wear.
But there are others entirely practical
| without unnecessary furbelows. and with
! some simple trimming which means but
little work. such as the polSadot founee
Of which spoke.
These simple and dainty ideas are easily
copied at h-ome-easily made, even, with
out a model since patterns are now SO
exact and so readily followed.
Buttons have been allotted a prominent
position in society. They are of enar1el.

tique silver and ~pinchbeck, and even o.

all of great size. Here is an opportunity
for using up what many OF us regard as

has not a cameo necklace. earrings, brace-

be turned to good account as buttons and
clasps at present, and look exceedingly
