In the way Of trimming nowadays one
may go back to that old-time Grecian
pattern, or, IL it sounds better to say
Byzantine, the effect will be about the
same. Bonds of trimming are put on in
this style frequently, and 1t is used in
many ways. 1t is to be found in jewel
ry, in effective long pins, and for stocks
and belts.
A stock and belt made in this design
had the pattern of q narrOw-hardly
half an inch wide-Persian ribbon, and
under this was run lengthwise three
bands of narrow velvet ribbon Of black.
In the belt, which was shaped with a
point in the front, the three sets Of ends
were tied ut one side where ii opened,
and in the stock. which was made in the
same way, they were tied in front.
Fancy material is to lie seen now in
the linen shops in handkerchiefs, and
they are very dainty. In some of the
material Is striped and in others it is
shot with small dots of different shapes.
Frequently inside the hem there will be
rows of straight lines of thicker weave
to further ornament the handkerchief.
There are the little handkerchiefs that
are tucked around the edge inside the
hem, and others that have the corded
lines such as were seen some thirty
years ago and were used largely by men
at that time. These handkcrchiefs come
in the shecrest linen now, but everyone
does not like them. ''They used those
when l was girl" said one woman,
looking in shop window, "and don't
like them"
''But see how sheer these are" argued
her companion.
Il don't care" said ~ FIRST speaker,
II d""'' like them. Thy seem old-fash-
Toned to me-"
There are some women who rover can
pass the handkerchief counter without
getting anything that is new and in good
taste If the counters are watched very
charming handkerchiefs can be found in
the sheer French embroidered articles.
These handkerchiefs seem to have a
special sheerness, which makes them
more attractive than other handkerchiefs
that are actually finer.
So.
The woman who is rev"r without a
fan could not resist the temptation of
getting ready for warm days, despite
the chlliness of the wind yesterday.
Here is little fan with handle which
doubles over on to the fan part. 1t
takes very little room. and can be carried
without trouble in almost any chateline
bag. but most easily in one of the little,
long Vienna bags with chain handles,
which will hold such variety of things.
The folding fan costs only 25 cents.
The buckles on ties are losing their
plainneSS, and instead of the round metal
harness buckle, show a cutting in squares
which is very considerable improve
mpnt.
The most beautiful effects are obtained
in gold nowadays. a magnificent neck
lace set with fire opals has. equally
beautiful with the stones. II heavy setting
of red gold, which blends admirably with
the stones. The coloring of both stones
and gold is further brought out by dark
green shadows in the latter.
Stocks which are varied from the ordi-
nary run of these articles have the body
of the stock of white. as usual. set in box
plaits running up and down, but ironedso

the material of which the tie is made
at the top, as so many Of the stocks
have now. This fold is less bungling
than little turnover collar Of the colored
material. Duck stocks with the fold
of color of binding at the top and the
bow tie cost in some Of the best shops
80 cents.
One can use ones belt clasps now for
hats if one has Il taste that way. These
buckles, or rather clasps. are to be seen
on some of the hats in the sailor styles
holding the band of ribbon or velvet at
the side.
