SOME FINE HANDKERCHIEF
One of the essential things to complete
toilet is the handkerchief, which is often
rich and costly. One firm on Washington
street shows fine line in French convent
embroidered work, and these are worth
from 81 to $50 each. One shown worth $50
was of French linen, embroidered in
Grecian border. with points, the inner
block completely surrounded with a wreath
of daisies. The work is exquisite Others
less expensive are also northumberland.
Dainty initial goods in French linen come
six in q box and sell for $780, Novelties
in the unlaundried convent handkerchiefs,
imported from France and Ireland, can be
purchased by the bunch for as low as six
for seventy~five cents and are embroidered
on the finest sheer linen. A firm recently
advertised the above handkerchiefs at sew
enty-fve cents, reduced from ninety. A
woman, desiring to secure q bargain was
one of the first buyers, but was evidently
thoroughly Disguised by the soiled appear
ance of the handkerchiefs When she saw
them she said: mo wonder you can afford
TO sell them so cheap, the dirty things.
The hanokerchiefs come right here from
the converts, where they are made by hand,
and are usually very much soiled, the rea-
son they are sold so cheap A pretty thing
for gift in handkerchiefs comes. in a
66anty 6eT h o ax desnbT
which sell for S.. The wide hemstitched
handkerchiefs are out Of date and the very
fine ones can be purchased very cheaply.
Corsets vary little in style. The French
law bust Paris cut, is about the most pop
ular. An imported corset is one made in
Belgium and Is most satisfactory, 1t sells
from $1.75 to $3.50. Another widely adver-
tised one is an American manufacture. 1t
is made on the English idea and reinforced
with shaped steels, rather than featnerbone
or whalebone, ard retains it original shape.
Union suits still continue in popularity.
The equestrian tights are the latest, and
are worn over the underwear instead of
heavy skirt and are better suited to walk
ing or wheel riding. They come in wool
or silk, and range in price from 81 to Sc.
Some fancy winter underwear comes in
the union suits in silk or fine Egyptian
cotton, and the garments are made with a
fancy yoke and full bust.

spangled in gold, with sticks of ebony and
designs in ideal miniature painting. A
white one has ivory sticks inlaid with gold.
Inc gauze is painted in white floral de-
sign.
The holiday umbrellas are coming in and

style. Some of the handsomest ones are
in Irish furze or real ebony with solid sill
inlaid with agate, mock jewels, ivory or
pearl. They are of taffeta, in various colors,
with novelty borders.
HAIR-DRESSING STYLES.
There is very slight change IN the style
of hair-dressing. The pompadour is still
the prevailing mode in Indianapolis. but in
New York the full bang is revived. Little
curls falling out of the coil at the back of
the head form graceful couture. For dress
occasions or for evening the hair is worn
higher than for the street, and is done up
loosely, with little fancy twists and curled
profusely. Young ladies still wear the hair
low. Combs of every description are used
side combs, pompadour combs, back combs
and empire combs-and when the hair Is
worn high the long, narrow combs are pref
fancy and unique designs in crescents and
stars. are made adjustable and make an at
tractive showing for evening wear. The
part is SILL worn among the few who cannot
wear a pompadour. A new treatment which
takes the place OF face washes and is said
to be perfectly harmless is called hydro
yacu, and consists of tracing a suction in
strument. over the face, which, it is claimed,
brings the blood to the face, opens the
pourS and eradicates all eruptionS of the
skin, removing blackheads and pimples and
thoroughly cleanses the skin. This is new
in Indianapolis.
Many swell patterns in shoes are displayed
for winter wear by all the shoe dealers
