Among the treasures of the Shah of Persia, who is now visiting the Paris Exposition, perhaps the Peacock Throne ought to be accorded the first place. It is probably the most costly ornament that the mind of man has ever conceiv- ed. The frame is entirely of silver, and above it the gleams of silver melt into molten gold. It is encrusted from end to end and from top to bottom with diamonds. At the back is star of bril- lants that almost make the observer blink. The rug on which the Shah re- noses is edged with amethysts, and the pillow on which he reclines his imperial head is frlnged with pearls. Some trav- elers. Burton amongst them, have esti- mated the value of the Peacock Throne at $25, 100000.

\ The Rev. W. H. Murray, who is sup posed to have been killed in China, be- came interested in the condition of the blind in that country years ago, and for their sake he invented a system of rep resenting the sounds of the Chinese lan- guage by raised dots. It was found that by this means blind Chinaman could learn to read in less than three months, whereas Chinaman who can see takes wears to master the ordinary written language, for there are 4,000 characters in Chinese, though only 4S0 sounds. MT. Murray opened schools in Peking, In which considerable number of blind boys, who otherwise would have starved in the gutter, have been trained for ed- ucational and missionary work.

Necks. which were rather bulkily dress

longer lines. This is accomplished by
dressing the shoulders plainly. The neck

the vast army of new materials, all are

NEW MATERIALS.
All the new materials show stripes. In
the striped goods are satin foulards and
satin striped crepes, mohair dinlities and
silk and cotton foulards, satin striped
fiannels and taffeta de suez, n the
very recently produced hairline grena-
dimes and bereges, which have a pin
stripe of satin ribbon introduced through
the webby background of the material.

you find them s%ingularly like the cam

difference is in the fine texture. With

Sleeves of all wash dresses are close

the newest trimming of the season. 1t

There is this to be said for the tall

TOUCH OF VELVET

A touch of velvet is necessary for the
spring hat and gown.

with lace; a baggy crown of velvet; or
even a flower with a center of that ma
terial will give the touch which is requir-
ed as a finish.
Lace is also an adjunct. 1t comes in
three shades OF. white. There is the blue
white. the cream white and a third white
which is almost green. Besides these
shades there is the tan lace and the laces
which come in the natural colors of the
u~nbleached thread. But the three shades
of white are the most fashionable. In
trimming you select the one which con-
trasts most widely with our gown. If
the latter is a blue foulard the lace with
which you trim it may be a green white.
You will want enough at least to overlap
the yoke and probably overlay also the
flarfng cuffs.

A BECOMING DRESS.
The material was pink taffeta, nearly
flesh color. 1t was cut in a princess u
mic falling over a skirt trimmed with
f1ounces of taffeta. The waist, which was
very decollette, was nearly covered with
point lace applied perfectly plain. And
over the lace was a stOmacher of dia
