HANDKERCHiEFS.
Old Fashioned, Priceless Lace Creation
Is Now Fashionable Again.

From Harpers Bazaar.
It might truthfully be stated that the
handkerchief is one of the most import
ant articles Of clothing, and an interest
ing bit of reading it makes to scan the
statistics Of the number Of hanGkarcniefs
that are scld even in any one shop dur
ing the year. But there are handkerchiefs
and handkerchiets, and some have very
little reference to others.
The bargain ones, for instance, that are
sold for 121h cents, and that are pretty
and most useful. bear little resemblance
to the minute square of finest linen that
is embroidered with the owners mono
gram, and which never costs less than
three or four dollars. Just at present it
is the fad to have the finest and most
expensive handkerchiefs that can be
bought--exceedingly simple in so far as
they are finished with hem and hem
stitching. of course. but the expense lies
in the very fine texture of the material
and in the wonderfully fine stitches that
are employed in the lettering. One set of
handkerchiefs-the set only amounted to
three-that were finished the other day

Tho handkerchiefs themselves are of
medium size; not too small, but still large
enough to be of some use.
There are a great many colored hand
kerchiefs made of very fine lawn. These
have scalloped edges that are worked in
embroidery there are others that have
small butterflies made in embroidery. and
many others have fine edge of footing.

chiefs look very well with mourning
gowns, and sometimes in costume where
the color scheme is carried out 1T is
rather pretty to see one of these dainty
little trif1es with the lace edge; but there
have been 50 many limitations of these
handkerchefs sold, and for SO wonderful
ly low prices, that they cannot be classed
among the very successful novelties.
The old-fashioned priceless lace hand
kerchefs that our grandmothers used to
carry are now fashionable again. That

The Latest Skirts.

From the Philadelphia Times.
1t is an interesting thing to know
how one of the most prominent dress
makers in the city makes all of the
latest skirts. She cuts the taffeta foun-
dation in four cores, which are sewn
up with the straight edges and the
bias edges together, SO that a slight
bias seam runs down the middle of the
front and a decidedly bias seam
straight down the back, and the sides
are left straight. At the bottom is a
facing an inch or more wide. Over
this is a circular ruffie, seven inches
wide in front and 10 behind, and cut in
a circle that measures two yards and
two-thirds at the lower edge and one
yard and two-thirds around the upper
edge with the material double. The
skirt is 10 inches longer behind than

foundation. AS a finish the ruffle at the
bottom may be covered with two or
three narrow ruffles. and the whole
skirt may be allowed to show through
the meshes of a lace tunic, or it will
serve as a correctly shaped unders4irt
for any light unlined dress. For sum-
mer gowns, when the material is wide
enough, but one seam is used on the
dress skirt, and that a bias one down
the center of the back. Sometimes a
straight front gore is used, but the
bias back seam is in any case indispen-
sable to the up-to-date gown.
