The evening bonnet has a rival. 1t is
nothing more nor less than the old-fash-
ioned hood often attached to an evening
cape. Whether these hoods will grow so
universal feature of evening capes for
ball, opera or theater wear that the dainty
bonnet will fall into disuse depends upon
the success of the agitation for the re-

to see as Well as be seen. There are many
theaters in New York now where no head
covering is permitted, and uniuclSy is it the
first time one appears at them with what
she thinks is particularly unobstrusive
head covering. The chances are in such
cases that she has arranged her hair to
hold her bonnet in place, not dressed It for
show, and her feelings when she receives a
little card from the usher or his verbal re-
quest to remove her bonnet are better i'm

Perfume Pills.
From the New York Herald,

FROM the New York Herald.
Perfume pills are the latest fad. When 1
asked chemist for a fashionable sachet
powder he told NE about them. He showed
me little round box like tiny bonbon-
Mere, which was filled with very fragrant,
white pills. The pills were very fragrant.
and, to my rather surprised and questioning
lock, he gave me the following expla nation:
They are perfume pills, madame, and We
sell great many Of them. They come in
violet, heliotrope, white lilac and peau d'es-
pasne- Tnen, we have another substitute
Tor the old-fashioned sachet bag, and that
is this perfumed flannel. 1t is very much
used at present, and is especially desirable
sewed into the Innings of skirts and bod
ices"
1 bought some violet pills, and then / set
TO work to find out just how the swell girl
used her pills. She certainly could not
swallow them. What did she do with them :?
After much questioning 1 discovered that
the young woman of fashion just now is
devoted to pills. She carries them loose in
her pocket, tucked IN her corsage or slipped
In her glove The uninitiated might easily
take her for walking medicine chest, as
did, but the up-to-date woman knows bet
ter.
She understands that the pills are war
ranted to be only sweet scented and that
they are the latest substitute for the saehet
Dag. These fragrant tablets, or pills, are
the concentrated perfume of flowers They
give Just that faint, delicate suggestion of
fragrance desired by the refined woman.

Watches and Lockets.
From Harper's Bazaar.


JeweIed watches are as much in fashion
as ever, and are marvellous works of art !;
some have the back covered with diamonds,
others are in the shape of flowers with
petals made of stone-a pansy, for instance,
is made with each petal of an amethyst, a
daisy has the center of a yellow diamond
and each leaf studded with pearls, and
there are this year minute watches with
the back made of one large stone surround
ed with diamonds. Then there are the en-
ameled watches of most exquisite color
and design. These are worn with a pin to
match, or are attached to the long chains
that have been described. A most exquisite
watch has the face made to represent the
armament in blue enamel with the figures
in gold; on the back the Dipper is repre-
sented in diamonds, with a moonstone at
the left side TO represent the moon. This
watch is worn on a chain made of diamonds
and moonstoneS.
The favorite device in shape is a heart
and it is said, to be lucky, heart must be
worn either on a bangle, long chain, or in
the design of a watch. Most exquisite are
these little lockets, made either of single
jewel or of any number of very tiny Jewels
set close together.
The large jeweed lockets are very ex-
pensive, because the handsomer the stones
the more fashionable the locket is supposed
to be: and there are three or four most
enormous sapphires, rubies and emeralds on
exhibition among the Christmas novelties
costing literally a small fortune.
The prettiest things that are seen I'm the
imitation Jewels this year are the various
breastpins in the shape of lizards. turtles
bees and butterflies. They are made Of cut
steel, very highly polished and set with
colored stones or rhinestones as closely TO-
gether as possible. They are very brilliant
comparatively inexpensive and very effec-
tive. There are also in the cheaper novel;
ties exquisite little pins I'm enamel and sil

The Gay COIored Stocking Has Oust-
ed the Plain, Somber Black.
From Harper's Bazaar.
Perhaps IN no line of wearing apparel ha
there been so marked a departure within
two years as In hosiery. The universally
worn black stockings, In spite of their
many points of excellence, have no place
In the modern wardrobe. Plain colors are
still worn, but all. are gaudy, except the
somber gray and tan shades.
In the place Of the sober black articles
there have come the tartan silk ribbed hose
and fancy stripes in Isle thread, with a
Woolly finish, and they might at first sight
be mistaken for a heavyweight article.
These come in such combinations as yellow,
blue and black, and green, coral and black
the most brilliant color in each being made
of silk, which is interviewer with the Isle
thread.
The prettiest novelties in Isle thread are
the checks, composed of two shades Of one
color and one of white. The checks are
perhaps one-third of an inch square and
are continued quite to the tip of the toe.
One very beautiful check Is shown of gray,
green and white with toe and hem at the

ing. 81 -
There is bewiidering variety of ex-
quisite weaves for evening wear which en-
brace every imaginable color and design
One of the novelties IS the boot-top design
of embroidery, reaching from the toe to
one-third the length of the hose, where it
is finished in form of a boot-top. Lace ver-
tical stripes and embroidery in fancy colors
are used for this. -
The long vertical-striped hosiery is to be
had in such biendings as maize and white,
pale blue and white, and two shades of the
colored silk, but with black tips at the
toe, heel and hem. Black silk speckled
lightly with blue and of very lacelike
texture affords a dainty example of such
black hose as is worn. There is also a
bolder combination of black and white
Milan silk, wherein the two -colors are in
lace-like stripes alternately placed.

THE NEWEST BRACELETS.
A Plain, Heavy Gold Circle on the
Left Wrist.


Left Wrist.
From Harpers Bazaar.
Every girl who aspires to keep pace with
the changing fancies of fashion is wearing
or wishes to wear, a plain, heavy gold circle
on her left wrist. Just now this Is the popu-
lar fad in bracelets. and it bids fair to su-
persede the lock and chain, which style
has been in favor for some time past 1t
is simply a large ring without opening
not unlike the plain gold ring for the fin
ger, about a quarter to half an inch broad,
and is, of course, large enough to slip over
the hand. The simplicity of this dainty
ornament is in pleasing contrast to the Law
ishment of design shown in most of the
accessories of the toilet at present, and
this accounts, doubtless, for a part of its
popularity.
Though the plain ones are most in de-
mand, soma very pretty bracelets are fin
ished with from one to seven stones set
across the back For this purpose turquoise
Is the most popular stone, though all of
the semi-precious stones are used particu-
Idrly those which are Opaque, this brace
let is supposed to be worn at all times.
The very newest thing in bracelets for
evening wear Is 4 narrow gold ring with
bangle, which IS formed of a single chain
about four or five inches long, set at short
intervals with large stones. Each gem is
t.lSFeUt aHu All are arranged IN Qefarence
To some definite color scheme one shade
blending gradually into else contrast
ing sharply with the next. Soma very
striking effects are thus produced by diff
terent arrangements of the same gems.
For instance. one bracelet shows a baryl
topaz, Zircon and tourmaline, shading from
a light green TO a dark greenish-brown.
Another shows pretty contrast in moon
stones and some dark stone, such as anne
thyst or garnet; and still another a rich
effect IN clear stones of warm shades
such as the hoEey-yeilow zircon, dark blue
/ sapphire and rich amethyst. Sometimes
another idea than that of color is carried
out in the setting of the gems particularly
IL the bracelet be intended as a gift. The
popular superstitions in regard to gems are
made to serve in this way, and taking ones
blrth stone as the key note. as 1t WERE
beautiful effects can be had by selecting
the others to harmonfze with it. and IL
one wishes to carry the symbolic meaning
sun farther they can be so arranged with
reference to the Language of stones as to
express almost any message or sentiment
which one may desire.

Care of the Skirt,
From the Philadelphia Press.

Muddy weather is always a sore trial to
woman wearing nice skirt, but she can
do something TO preserve it from perma-
nent ruin. In the first place, when re-
turned from a muddy street she should
hang the skirt before a fire, but not too
close, SO that the mud may dry quickly
When dry, the mud spots should be leos-
ened by rubbing with the edge of penny,
and the dust should then be gently brushed
on with brush Of moderate firmness Too
rough brush must not be used, especially
upon smooth-facsd cloths, for 1t is liable
to roughen the surface. If after this brush
ing the mud marks are still visible sponge
the spots with alcohol or methylated spirits
and the material will be left clean and
unmarked. In taking of a damp skirt be
careful to hang 1t out az nat as possible
over a chair, as Ii thrown down careles1ly
in that condition it will contract ineleeant
creases.

A New Use for Golf Stockings,

Women in the overheated houses of the
present day have discovered that it is inn
possible to dress as their grandmothers did.

same warm clothes in which they must
dress for the streets. They claim, too, that
If one dresses in light clothes for the house
and in something warmer for the street the

draped over blue silk or even lace coat
over muslin.
Delicate silks striped in flower patterns
are among the novelties in tea gowns and
are decorated with inordinate quantities of
lace and ribbon. Delivering a house dress
to a customer the other day a dressmaker
said: Il think you will be surprised to see
how little this costs you"
Receiving her bill with this encouraging
remark, the lady saw, with surprise in
deed, but not of the anticipated variety,
that the demand was about double what
she had expected. But the dressmaker
met the question in her eyes with the ad-
monition: Look at the ribbon; I've put On
195 yards
Miles of Quilted Ribbon.
And the amount was not unusual. To
dispose of the greatest possible quantity of
ribbon it may advantageously be quilted
into narrow ruff1es, which should be set
close together from the hem of gown to
a foot or more above it. A tea gown con-
structed upon this principle is of a delicate
raspberry red wool. 1t is made with a
Watteau back. Greek plats on the shoul-
ders and hanging fronts rippling away in
a shaped fiounce. Under the arms it is
shirred closely to adjust it to the figure,
but the front is left altogether loose. Be
ginning at the neck, a single ribbon ruff1e,
headed by narrow white lace, starts down
either side. As it advances other ruffies
