tnefe Is a great vogue or these most eX-
cellent goods. The shops are busy SELL

keep 1t throughout the season.
Another popular material is the Scotch
h~oTnespun, q mixture Of mohair and wool.
These are an English fancy, and are de-
cldedly conspicuous among our smartly
goWned cousins. They are made up in
suits of jackets and skirts, and are
mostly of very vivid colorings-which,
bye the bye, are making a fine light to
assert themselves in the very face Of the
enthusiasm for delicate pastel tones.
The rather trying effect Of the home
spuns, with their turquoise blues and
middle shades of light red, is smartly re-
lieved by coat facings of black and

the most popular on one of the most
popular coat adOrnments, however, and

triiles to work upon, and a change from
other sorts of decorative handiwork.
One must first have a collar cut out in
French linen batiste or lawn, of which
i is to be made, and then place around
its edge in applique fashion, an embroid-
cred avn or batiste edging of, say some
two or three inches, more or less. The
fleet is the most delightful, for if the
decorative edge of the embroidery so
nicely applied, and all the material UNI
der it be carefully cut away, the effect
is that OF a delicately and deliberately

particularly pretty, and a blouse of this
description worn with Il suit of white is
exceedingly chic. They are not cheap,
