sufficiently attractive to draw in the shop
pers who have established themselves in
their country homes. There are, for ex-
ample, rows of pretty shoes made wholly Of
very stout pique in dark or light tones and
picked out in gay dots. These have red,
blue, green or white heels to match the
color of the pique and not a bit of leather
shows anywhere on This quaint footgear
which laces up by ribbons of a color to
match the pique's figuring.
Another detail, worth a Journey to town,
is the paper fan that retails for less than
a dollar and folds up on three or five fiat
bamboo splints. Hitherto these were
painted, gilded or etched with poor imita-
tions Of Japanese and Chinese art and were
satisfactory enough, until a shrewd manu-
factureT thought out the plan OF photo
grazing most delightful Oriental scenes di-
rectly on the fans themselves, daintily tint
ing the pretty picture in most lifelike
c%olors, and then on the blank spaces of
gray, white or brown paper, of which the
fan is made, by a few strokes of a water
color brush suggestions of a bit of foliage
are introduced as appropriate Japanese en-
vironment. Musmes at t6eir play or work,
cool arbors, glimpses of Fuzyama and gush-
ing waterfalls, all in Photographic NINA
ture, are the coolest decorations possible

Effective Use of SpangIes.
The costly summer breeze raiser is made
OF black or white silk muslin or net with
the inevitable spangled accompaniment.
There has been a variation in the use of the
sequins introduced, however. The fans are
Of medium size and first choicely painted
with flowers or birds and the spanglCs are
then utilized to form the landscape or arch
i~tectural effect. For instance, they send us
from Paris lovely peacock fans of gauze.
Across a black background strut a flock of
these gorgeous fowls, all painted ~charmingly
save for the eyes in their tails that are elab-
GRATED with glittering fidelity in sequins of
marvellous minuteness and variety of tone.
Beside this work of art was one showing
a flock of sails on an admirably rendered
lake behind which sank a sun of ruddy Sc
quins with long sequined rays. Also from
Paris come the fans painted on gauze,
chicken skin and parchment with scenes
from famous fairy tales.
Elaborate Lingerie.
Nowadays the artists in lingerie announce
three seasons of suitable underwear. The
first winter woods, flannel skirts and tufted
combing jackets; the second or spring
glories OF lace and the sheer cotton goods,
while the third season ushers in the sooth-
ing silk garments and the remarkably lovely

so fine and so inwrought with lace that it
is essential to wear with them all under
garments of pale tinted, silky stuff.
The very latest nighties have their sleeves
and waists made almost wholly of lace, then
by a lace girdle, interviewer with ribbon,
the full skirt of sheerest handkerchief linen
is put on quite full. Under so diaphanous
a robe goes a prefectly plain slip of the
thinest pink, blue, green or yellow wash
SILK made and the effect is becoming to the
last degree.
Little girls in imitation of the women of
larger growth are reveling this summer In
crisp white muslin with valenciennes
fiounces and insertions. All their pretty
crisp suits, so suggestive OF the pure fresh
ness of childhood, are worn over white, with
white muslin sashes, where sashes are used.
and with hats having crowns of gauzed
muslin also garnished with lace. Girls until
their eighth year wear black half hose and
nat slippers, strapped on the instep, with
white suits, while after that age black Isle
long hose and French kid oxford ties are in
more dignifed keeping. NARY DEAN.
