IT is a very nice fancy for a girl to nave
her individual toilet and bed linen, instead
of using that of the general household.
In the first place, she can nave a very
pretty linen chest of carved or burnt
wood. or only a plain box prettily up
hoistered. If she is a girl with an apti-

The size depends upon the amount of

stitched; this can also be Ion by the
owner if expense is to be considered. The
linen should all be marked with the girls
initials or a monogram. The liner chest
may be upholstered on the inside. top and
bottom with a sachet made of canton
flannel. two thicknesses, the rough sides
turned altogether, and covered on the
upper side with silk. Sachet powder or
avender is sprinkled on the flannel be-

There Is very little white glass seen on
the tables of the fashionable dinner-giv-
ers just now. 1t seems to have quite gone
out of style, and colored tumblers and
small glasses are all the rage. For in
stance, at a very large bridesmaids
luncheon the other day, the entire glass
service of the table was of an exquisite
shade of green Bohemian glass, including
tumblers, finger bowls, bonbon dishes and
water bottles. The glass had a delicate
vine pattern traced on it, and the effect
was really charming. To carry out COM
pletely the color-scheme of this luncheon,
the floral centre-piece was of asparagus
vine. arranged in moss, in an oval basket.
Amber glass is also very fashionable, and
so is rose color, but green seems to be
the most popular. There was a time,
not 50 long ago, when the fad was to
nave nothing but white c~ut-glass on the
table. Now celored glass is acceded by
those who profess to know how to set
a dinner or luncheon table well, as the
correct thing to use.
Now that the permanent tea table is
banished from fashionable drawing rooms
and the service is accomplished by the
fitted table being brought IN, the incen-
~venience of such a plan soon manifests
itself. Two maids are necessary to carry
safely and easily the little set-out with

available, a better way is desired. This
is supplied in the English tea tray, to be
found at the best house furnishing shops.
1t is a tray of mahogany, with strong
handle by which it can be carried. As
it's beauty is in its highly polished sur
face. this is protected, but not concealed,
by a glass cover, which is fitted Under the
edges of the tray and is scarcely notice
able. Through it the beauty of the pol
ished wood is really enhanced, while all
danger of scratching or overheating is
warded off.
Red is the craze of the moment in Paris,
lust at present, and as it doesn't take us
long to follow in their footsteps 1t has

of right bright pidue and duck skirts.
These are as yet extremely new, and

red or white braid, in serpentine style a.
