IN The WORLD OF FASHION.

All thin, light materials this summer
will be ornamented with incrustations
of lace. Linen laces are inserted in all
materials.
Tortoise shell combs, set with dia-
monds, are the proper ornament for the
hair, if one can afford them.
The most luxurious parasols have
hand-painted medallions OF white silk
set in white lace.
Second empire capes are gaining
ground. These capes are very long be-
hind and slope gradually up to the neck
in front, so that they just fail to meet
over the chest, where people most need
to be protected, and are neither pretty
nor wise. They have been gaining hold
in Paris all the winter.
Gray gowns look very pretty with
just touch of positive color at the
throat and wrist, given, perhaps, by a
folded collar and cravat, and then again
by waistband of mirror velvet in vivid
emerald green, bright violet or deep
Grange. All these combinations of
color will be very much worn with gray.
The wallflower and the nasturtium
are to have all their own way in the
coming colors of the season, so we shall
be reveling in tawny browns, reds and
other wonderful colorings which are
not unbecoming to brunettes, and,
moreover, the most fashionable new
scent of the moment is wallfower 1t
is difficult to realize how exquisite is
the perfume till you have smelled it. 1t
is soft. fragrant and lasting.

for most everything: Salt cleanses the

pinch, of salt on the tongue, followed ten
minutes afterwards by a drink of cold

hardens gums. makes teeth white and
sweetens the breath. Cut flowers may be
