E'RILLS or FASHION.

The little matter OF belts has an importance
in dress out Of all proportion to the size OF the
article, but the belt adds to or detracts from
the appearance in most startling manner.
especially tho latter when it is not adjusted
properly. White kid belts. plain or variously
trimmed with beads or metal OF some sort. are
worn with the white shirt waists. but prettier
than these are the belts OF soft white satin rib
bon wide enough to wrinkle little. fastened
with a silver gilt buckle Very pretty, too. are
the belts Of white tatreta silk cut bias. hemmed
on the machine and finished with a rosette bow.
Gray kid shoes with stockings to match, are
worn with light gowns in place OF the white
ones so long popular.
The .sluart bandanna silk handk erchief ar

head Of the list but a rising novelty is the au-
tomobile OF black satin. powdered with GRIM

The use a woman makes OF her money may be
Indicative Of her character I'm n way. but
It is not she who puts all her mental
and moral force into the shopping that al
ways buys most wisely. 1t is the motive which
tells the story. Some women buy to make the
most show. others for the qualification mere
spending affords them. while again it is the
desire to possess everything in sight without
any regard for its adaptation to special uses.
The real love OF pretty things and pride In
wearing them. combined with a sense OF their
usefulness. are tho most truly feminine OF all

Ors that is FIRST on the list this season.
There Is certainly a strong reaction from
the rather extreme masculine tendencies Of
dress OF few seasons past, and very active
enthusiasm for everything essentially dainty
and feminine. SO you can make no mistake
buying pretty laces and chiflons at reduced
prices. The use Of black velvet ribbon in the
form Of bows straps, loops aud bands on gowns
