All the feminine world has run to
handkerchiefs. They are to be seen
chiefly in waists, but there are gowns
Of them, parasols, and hats in all
sorts of pretty silks and things that
could never under any circumstances
have been used for handkerchiefs.
1t is on the order of the old-time
crazy quilts, pretty things cut into
small pieces to be sewed together
again. 1t is not exactly the same, but
manufacturers make up all sorts of
designs into the form of squares, and
then, with some degree Of calculation
to utilize the squares, they are
madeup
Some of the prettiest and most eff
fective handkerchiefs are fringed,
soft little united fringe, and this
forms the edges of parasols, and is
pretty in bolero fronts to waists, the
fringed corners Of the handkerchiefs
tied in front with one sl1not. The
parasols are made of number of
small handkerchiefs, the borders
showing in the different divisions Of
the parasols, or there is one large
handkerchief effect with the border
around the edge. A stylish and strik-
ing handkerchief waist has a solid
front, the opening under the arm and
striking striped border on delicate
ground forming the edge Of deep
yoke straight both back and front.
Even the babies are out in hand
kerchiefs, and pretty light one with
variegated striped border is made
into a something like sailor collar,
the ends tying once in front. The
back of the collar is formed Of one
4 side of the handkerchief, which is re-
duced to the width Of the child's
shoulders by perpendicular tucks set
inside the border at the side, and stop
ping lust above the border which
forms the lower edge. That makes
e deep, square collar in the back,
above which the handkerchief Is
shaped to the neck and turned away
to leave the two remaining corners
of the handkerchief in the points
which are tied They are worn over
little gowns or outer coats.
Pretty cut steel. gilt and jeweled
things are worn with many Of the
pretty neck arrangements as stock
holders. They are the shape Of the
upper or tied part of a mans four-in-
hand tie, some two inches in length,
not as wide as that at the top, and
tapering to the lower edge, and give
the four-in-hand effect to pretty tb51
white neck arrangements or soft
things In colors,. with which they are
worn. They are in fanciful designs.
The traditional shawl which can be
drawn through a wedding ring is as
nothing to the pretty hosiery Of the
pretty girl this year. The isle gauze
stockings are not much more than
mist or cobweb, they are so delicate
and transparent. To make them to
some degree pfactical. they are double
at the foot and heel. They are mex
pressibly dainty and delicate. They
cost s1.2s a pair.
Following the ruffied ribbons that
we have been having for trimmings
there has come charming enbroid-
cred mousseiine de sole ribbon, seal
loped at one edge. all ready 70 use as
an elaborate form OF trimming.
4hevarious spassementeries for trim
mines are so charming and attractive
that they hardly know themselves in
fheir new guises- There is an evolu-
ton IN wearing apparel as in every
thing else. and from the overlapping
scalelike effect Of the sequins and
pailieffes have core the same effect
in made goods. u The passementcries
