ribbons, look dainty and cunning, and are

Something surprising is the vogue of the
turquoise
| No one is happier just now than the fair
one VINO has eyes the shade of the tur-

| sure TO be wonderfully becoming. (Some
of our beautiful blondes are certainly
dreams OF beauty just now wearing these
j charming stones).

the choice
And the bigger the betterl Some of them
are actually the size of small hens egg.

| Hateful to relate, these barbarous orna-
nchts, earrings, are again to be seen IN
the ears of a few misguided fashionables.
| Good sized stones, too! The fact that it's

rings is CLEANED from the fact that in

chosen is the modish turquoise.
But the climax in the turquoise mania

Tantivy Croat is the name of one of the
rev neekties of mercerized cheviot to
wear with the outing shirtwaist
The most popular collars for linen shirt
waists are not more than half an inch Iii
depth, of colored linen, in blues. pink5.
mauves ard yellows edged with white
cambric braiding, with points turne
downward and under the collar is passed
muslin scarf, which is tied in a neat,
precise bow under the chin.
Black velvet belts and stocks to match
are worn with the colored silk shirtwaisr,
and there are the prettiest little stitched
white pique belts made with silver eyelets
and plain buckle to fasten like leather
strap.
The once popular Norfolk Jacket is be-
ing revived for outing wear. 1t is used
fol cycling and for boating and for
mountain climbing It is very neat and
warm, and is really more servicedple than
the Eton. which covers only the arms and
the shoulders.
The new Norfolk is trimmed with shap-
ed pieces, to resemble box plaits. They
are stitched and are wide at the top and
narrow toward the bottom; they are very
wide, and there is only one on each side
of the front. instead of two. The back
has just one, which is placed directly in
the centre. This new Norfolk jacket is
belted. and the belt is pulled down in the
front.
An enviable specimen is made in the
form of two huge Tudor ruffs of tulle.
The first is cream white laid upon one of
equally Jacqueminot red tulle, and fin
ished with double ropes of changeable red
and white silk chenille.
From Paris come evening bows made
of huge silk peonies. Silver cords hang
nearly to the feet in front, and are
weighted at the bottom with peonies. one
of which has inner stiffened petals that,
at the wearer's need, can be transformed
into charming fan.
Intrinsically beautiful as are the ostrich
feather boas. they no longer retain their
hold on feminine affections, unless the
proud feathers are allied and intermin-
gled with artificial flowers and lace. This
is degradation of their beauty, but for
the present plumes are commonplace and
hackneyed to a degree.
The newest belt is narrow band of
stitched glace, in either black or white
colored silk with large oblong medal
lion in the centre of the back and front.
of a colored panne outlined with gold
cord and worked with black French knots.
In white silk, with mauve and gold me-
dallion, the effect is dainty and novel,
and black silk with old rose Danne is
also good. Every belt should be wider as
the best result is gained by stitching the
ribbon or strip of silk cut on the bias
upon three or four inch long bone be-
hind, then mitring it in front, which
gives the all important long wasted eff
feet.
Many smart women are tying soft crepe
de chine scarves round their waists and
knotting them carelessly at the side, with
the ends let loose.
Popln silks are to be much used and
are made up of taffeta lining, having the
ivory or cream guipure profusely used
upon them. Some beautiful Indian poplins
have been brought to Paris, covered with
hand embroidery, which the patient In
dians take years TO work, and which sell,
nevertheless, at a ridiculously small fig
ure. Some smart women have also intro
duced embroidered Chinese silks, which
are particularly pretty swhen made up
with other materials
A great many pretty new styles in
blouses have just been introduced. AS
in gowns, white for blouses is the most
distingue color. Some of the newest are
of white alpaca, with tiny gold buttons,
the entire body of the blouse being plait-
ed White satin is also popular ard most
agreeable to wear under a tailor jacket.
Children are now fitted out with 'romp-
ers' of brown Holland or dark blue
duck In these serviceable garments they
can play in the sand, dabbie in salt or
fresh water on the sly, climb trees, dig in
the earth or otherwise amuse themselves
by amateur gardening, fishing and having
a high old time" These 'rompers'' are
worn instead of dainty dress They are
loose-fittting and have sleeves. Some have
divided skirts. but this is not necessary
in tree climbing or fence scrambling, for
little girls skirts are now worn SO short
