| The lace fever spread its infection to

outdoor maidens to discard airy fabrics,
not forgetting to keep prices up to q

On a black pair a graceful rose design

Even newer are those with two par
allel insertions of lace half an inch
apart. But perhaps the most ravishing
of all have lovers knots heavily en-
broidered on a lace background slightly
yelling pink flesh. If you are searching
for gorgeousness, you'll find il in
style where diamond shaped insertions
of silk webbing begin at the toe and
end at the knee. For instance, some
black ones had diamonds of bright or
ange, bordered by small forgetmenot
sprays. Dark blue and scarlet, white
and black or pink and pale green asso-

can See them at once. 1t is q species
OF self hypnotization. Instead Of an
expensive crystal a goblet of water
placed in the center OF the table directly
under a strong light and on a black
background serves the same purpose.
Crystal gazing at luncheons where were
gathered women interested in the study
of oecultism was one OF the fads of the
past winter, but the fact was so care
fully guarded that only a few outside
OF the initiated ever learned of them.
The fad for gazing has so grown that
the great metropolitan jewellers import
crystals for their women customers.
They come mostly from India, China
and Japan.
Astrology has never been a popular
social fad, for good and sufficient rea-
sons The victim must disclose the real
age and date OF birth. Most women
object to that, for. as Bronson Howard
says IN 'Aristocracy," "A woman who
will tell her age will tell anything"
Besides, the system is so complicated
that the mastery of it by an amateur
is almost impossible in the short time
that fads exist. Most professional as
trologers are charlatans of the worst
type. After certain New York astrol-
oyer famous for his cleverness and pre-
dietions had acquired quite a reputation
among clique OF literary lights whose
names are known the world over it was
discovered that the seer was an ex-con-

In Paris the several prophetesses who
make claim for notoriety are patron
lied by women of the highest rank. In
London there are several palmists
whose patrons are entirely women Of

nearly all organizations of that sort
number on their membership lists wo-

of the followers of the woman mahatma
was to found a school Of occult

were in full uniform. Several troops OF
cavalry from Fort Niger, Il battalion OF
marines from the navy yard and a de.
tachment Of sailors from tho Texas were
drawn up about the fiag-draped caskets
which were ranged row OF row along the
brow Of the hill, each bearing n beau.

the snow and nipping cold over 1000
spectators pressed against the roped.in
enclosure to witness the ceremonies.
The Marine Band played a dirge Safe

services were conducted by Chaplain

which the collins lay beside their open
graves. After the religious services a

helmets, fired a salute Of three blank
volleys for the dead and a bugler
sounded TAPS"
The ceremonies lasted barely 20 min.
