inc embroidery extends lin the m,da,a
OF the back and is broad near the hottom
OF the cape. The edge OF the cane IL mt

OK white lace; and, underneath the lace

derneath this ruchng Of white chiffon Ia
another Of black chiffon, and. underneath
ALL is deep fall OF black lace. This
makes very substantial finish TO the cane
and dressy one. All black can be en-

dainty chiffon and lace ruffes around the
throat; and others extend down the front
Of tie cape.
The fall of the year has come; and, with
the change Of the season as usual have
come new creations not only in dress, but
IN tho little things which are essential to
The we'll groomed woman.
For number OF seasons we have bought
our umbrellas and have been confronted
With q miscellaneous assortment OF
, handles. There has not. until now been
any special design In the umbrella handle,
but now there IS revival TT the old
curved who'd ana ivory handles
In the shops are to be seen handles
ornamented with the head OF bird and
The work is so fine on some OF the expen-
sive handles that one who knows his coun-
trrs birds fairly well VIII recognize the
pheasant, the wild duck and even tho
ltlle ruffled grouse with its boa of finely
! carved feathers.
! One OF the most expensive pieces or
work is the head Of tiger. The ivory
is cd and the yellow tint aids touch
Of reality to the handle The eyes are
two emeralds, which are sunk into the
Ivory and the work Is so exquisitely done
that even the pupils OF the eyes have
not been omitted. When the umbge Ia
handle catches a ray of sun or light, the
tiny pieces OF Jet which constitute the
pupils fash in unison with the emerads
Another odd creation is q gold serpent;
Il is coilcd in the shape OF ring, each
scale being cieGyly outlined. The head OF
the serpen is fiat and liss on fhe stick
Just below the coil made by the body. The
tongue with lis tiny fork Is extended but
net far enough to be In danger OF catch
ing en- lace or chiffon. The eyes are made
of emeralds-and to the delight Of the
detail loving person-the end OF the tall
Is possessed OF a tiny rattle.
A gay, yet not expensive handle is one
OF silver with blue enameled bird
head The bill is of silver, the tip touched,
true to lie, with the smallest dot OF yell
low enamel; and the eyes are oftet.
The ivory carver, and the silversm'th
have not forgotten the new shades to o'
worn by my lady this winter. ne mas
kindly provided a number OF designs In
livery which come very near to the shade
of the natural broadcloth coats.
