TOILET ACCESSORIES.

The details Of toilet are as impor-
tant as the costume itself. and the
wise young woman knows that half
the effect comes from the various
dainty conceits that fashion permits
Even a much worn costume, if well
cared for, may be made to seem
fresh and up to date by modish belt
and neckwear.
Transparent collars will be worn all
winter, and are enriched with gold and
nrecious stones-or clever limitations

may be outlined in gold thread and a
flat bead of turquoise. topaz or other

stock in front by couple of clasps

The serpent still holds SWAY in the

Some of the last named arc i'm

striking set recently seen was of en-

turned over, and fastened with a large
rosetted bow of black and white vel

bag shaped muff was held by a chain
of faceted steel beads, with TURQUOISE
strung at intervals.
The latest matinee bag is of fancy
colored leather, suspended by a ribbon
over one shoulder. The bag is large

desirable trifles.
Plain black hosiery is hopelessly old

fancy figures, are the popuar fancy

The smallest possible bolero of fur

sleeves, but sometimes has bell
shaped sleeve to the elbow. The fur
gauntlet glove forms a desirable addi-

OF course we have. about this time,

than one solution. Mr. Frederic Har-

point. The only first-class book of

Messrs. Houghton, Mifilin & Co. have
Just ready two books on psychological
subjects that are said to be written IN
a way to command popular interest.
one is Professor Joseph Jastrow' s
Fact and Fable in Psychology" a col
lection of essays intended to promote
a truer understanding and apprecia-
ton of psychological problems. His
inquiry into what he calls the 'modcrn
occult"--theosophy spiritualism. Chris
tan science, astrology, palmistry and
other such subjects is aimed at the
clearing away of many cobwebs that
have come down in one form or anoth-
er from the days of mystical beliefs.
The other psychological book is Mi!li-
cent Washburn Shinn'S biography OF
a Baby 1t embodies the observa-
tions made by her on the mental deVel-
cpment of her little niece. 1t is mar
rative full of the humorS of baby life
and some of its tragedies-and with
many scientific data. An important
feature of it is the photography oil

The thoroughness with which Tolstoi

Some time ago he was the subject OF

put him under prolonged and ruthless
examination. At last the visit came
to an end. and the gentle sufferer saw
his uuestiOner into the carriage. AS
the parting greetings were being eN-
changed the guest limited that after
all he had not learned everything ne
wanted to know. Then you must come
into the house again and stay another
