Few maidens there are who would
not be charmed to receive for a Christ
mas gift a shirt waist in a box. The
box is decorated with violets or roses,
and the shirt waist is wrapped in It's
sue paper and tied up with gay rib
bons. These waists range in price
from 81 or SO to $50. Very handsome
ones can be had for s12 and SIS. They
are of firm, heavy silk, with satin
stripes, and made with pleated yokes
and have fancy buttons. The more
elaborate designs have insertions of
lace. velvet ribbon trimmings, frills of
chiffon, jewelled galloon. etc.
The daintiest of aprons are shown in
the shops where frills are made sci
ence and a fine art. They are made of
silk. of muslin and of boiling cloth, and
all are trimmed with velvet ribbons,
lace insertions and frills of pale-hued
silk or soft muslin. For the woman
who loves to preside over a tea table,
for the girl who is a devotee of en-
broidery or fancy work, or for the wo-
man who simply likes to wear anything
ostensibly useful, but undeniable CO.
quettish, becoming and pretty, these
aprons are things of beauty and joy as
long as they last. Very pretty ones
are of bright-hued silk with bordering
frills of finely pleated silk headed with
narrow bands of black or colored vel
vet ribbon. The pockets are always
odd and ornamental. In some of the
muslin aprons the pockets are made OF
lace and adorned by rosettes of topped
bebe ribbon or knots of crisp taffetas
silk. Velvet strings are French no
ton and a monogram embroidered on
the pockets is considered very
chantcclaire-as they say in Paris.
The newest handkerchiefs for men
hail from Paris. They are of silky-fine
linen, with rather narrow hemstitched
borders and have a seal monogram
embroidered in one coner. This seal
is of purple, pink, blue, green or red,
embroidered in high relief and bearing
in the center an initial in white script.
The effect is truly startling, and is just
the sort of thing one would expect a
French dandy might enthuse over. 1t
is doubtful if the Beau Brummells of
America give this novelty a warm well
come
