WOMAN'S WORLD.

!, ney. At court festivities her Majesty app
| pears decked in brilliants worth millions.
| Only a comparatively small portion or
| these precious Jewels are her own prop
| erty. The largest and most valuable por-
ton are loaned by the Prussian Crown
| Treasury, and are returned in the event
! OF her Majesty becoming a widow or on
| her death.
On the death of the venerable Empress
| Augusta the present Empress inherited
| by will several magnificent sets of pearls
and diamonds, to her pleasurable surprise,
for the belief prevailed at court hat the
late Empress would dispose otherwise OF
her jewels. Empress Augusta victoria's
collection of fans, several of which We're
given her by her imperial spouse, is OF
| great value. The fan of black woodcock
| feathers is the one she prizes most high
ly, as it is made from the feathers of
birds shot by his Majesty himself.
Has anything more charming ever been
shown for table fittings han the new
Dutch silver? The woman who can see
it without craving it and being tempted
to lay in a stock on the spot has some
thing abnormal in her composition.
This delightfully."- quaint build of silver
seems made for wedding gifts. and aogift
can be found it to suit every length of
purse string.
There are spoons of all sizes, and for all
purposes, from salt to u with bowls
shovel-shaped and handles in short skirt
and sabot.
One popular salad spoon has handle and
stem in the shape of a huge windmill.
You set the wheel in motion and the door
of the mill flies open, revealing the fig
ures of the miller and his vrau.

A hat of tuscan, trimmed with a couple
of such roses and a twist of pale blue
chiffon, is ideal wear for the young girl
with the muslin gown. And talking of
muslin gowns reminds me that the pat
terms of the musiins are more attractive
than ever, the little rosebud appearing in
single elegance with much distinction on
foundations, striped with blue and white
lines and spotted with white. Other pretty
patterns there are, and Cor a young girl
there IS 10 pretlisr gown than one made
of muslin. with lace trimmings outlined
with bebe ribbons 70 match the predomin-
ating tints of the pattern on the muslin.

Princess gowns are not to be worn by
very plump or very slender women. A
tall, well-rounded figure is required for
them and a graceful carriage. Without
these accessories the princess gown loses
its charm and is decidedly unbecoming.
| Wedding gowns are mad in his style
whenever the figure of the bride war
rants it, and the lining. like the outside,
must have no seam at the waist line, but
extend unbroken from top to foot. Fable
or taffeta is the usual lining chosen, and
when the outside material is of but mod
crate quality an interlining of thin fan
mel is used to give richness.
Charming, indeed, are the mats used
with the dainty little water colors, so
much in demand for odd places, and real
ly the incest little gifts in the world.
The picture may be, for example, a wood
LAM bit, then the mat will be from 2h
to 4 inches, of heavy water-color paper,
cut carefully around the picture-in
squares or oblong-and at the outer edge
there is a pale fawn tint with little
brownish lines to represent birch bark.
There are little places curled up, like
the natural bark. These mats are quite
defective in a delicate and dainty man
ner. and may be used with or without
tiny gold frames.
Little girls wear their mothers gowns
in miniature, and the long, formless,
clinging coats of the early spring are
copied in pique for the summer wear
ing of %incipient leaders of fashion. The
taffeta foulards and the corded taffetas
brought out this spring have been ex-
actly of the light quality and cheerful
small figuring to render them highly
useful as best dresses for small women,
and school girls have taken to over
skirts like ducks to water. Wide brimmed
straws, very literally EMPOWERED with
the gayest flowers, continue to be the
models for young folks millinery.

Around the towering collars of their
new silk waists and their linen shirt col
lars the women who are first in at the
goal of the mode are triumphantly wear
ing the 1oveliest lace fo~ur-in-hands. From
the richest hand-wrought Duchess point
to the serviceable and simple lierre, these
new scarfs will have a long lease of
favor. OF course such neckties are sold
already drawn into the approved knot.
for lace will not bear much pulling and
hauling. Their long ends are wedge
shaped, and display lovely patterns and
occasionally their handsome tabs fall
eight inches below a wearer's waist line.
A new feature of decoration is lacing
with fine silk cord over a contrasting
color. Narrow openings up and down the
bodice are laced across with cord either
matching the gown in color or in some
paler shade of the same color. One pretty
model in pale gray nuns yelling has a
cream laced yoke laced to the lower por-
ton of the bodice with pink silk, and over
a deeper shade of pink silk. The open
ing forms a straight yoke into a point in
front, and the effect is very pretty. Lac
ings trim the sleeves very effectively, too,
and some of the over-dresses have lacing
around the hips.
Stone fruits and berries are admirable
articles Of food. They are of themselves
sufficient to cure many diseases and to
restore the system to its normal condi-
ton. A person suffering from fever often
J feels an intense desire for juicy fruits
and berries. and with them cooIs the
blood and Gains the heated brain. The
