FEMININE EMERY.
Pretty Fancies That Lend Beauty and Finish to the Seasons
 Costumes.
!" 'Tis odd.'' |" Iris SO"

The latest use for miniature watch is to have it set in tiny gold basket of the empire shape and used as the ornament for wristbag of gray suede.
 Nets promise to be revived this sea son and are destined especially for the woman who wears her hair low, says a fashion authority.
 Flower boleros represent the latest idea in floral garniture so much in favor this and last season.
 The familiar feather quill has been supplemented by broader quills of kid or suede, some resembling a leaf, the veins being simulated by embroid- cry in machine stitching.
 A new idea is that the summer girls hat, parsol and petticoat must match as nearly as possible.
 The big silk coaching cape is coming in, but it is one of the Niennese novel; ties. It is large, long cape, cut so that it does not meet in front. The whole costume is displayed through the floating open front and the neck is caught with ribbons made up in inn mense choux.

by large jet cabochon, and eventually resolving itself into a great outspread- ing bow at the back.
 Then I saw a white cloth costume-a rather busy evolvement perhaps, but nevertheless distinctive. Busy, that is to say, so far as the coat was con- cerned. Indeed the creation was chiefly coat, long shaped basque to a blousee upper part, obliterating alto- gether the major portion of the plain skirt. The decorative piece de re- sistance, however. lay in large square shaped collar of pale blue silk spotted over, in celestial fashion, with gradu- ated spots, a shaped embroidered belt of gold defining the waist.
 Though, even of more importance than the gowns, are the wraps and coats. While in no sort striking, or in dicatiye of any particular original turn of thought, the three-quarter sacque coat, with the Talma sleeve is diff

MYSTERIES OF TIME.
Two Irishmen Who Were Puzzled Over Birthdays Here and
 Abroad

The two elderly Irish citizens, out for Sunday stroll, paused before a jewellers show window in which were displayed three clocks recording time in various parts of the world, says the New York Tribune
 "'Tis odd" said one. "In some parts of the earth 'tis yesterday, and in other parts 'tis to-marrow-w while the Uni ted States is the only place in all the world where 'tis today"
 "'Tis odd
 "'Tis so.''
 ''Now when would be me birthday if I were in Paris?"
 "Your birthday is to-day?"
 "'Tis"
 And 'tis tomorrow in France, to- day"
 '.'Tis."
 "Thin yez could never have birth day if y were over there, because your birthday comes today"
 "'Tis odd"
 "'Tis so.''
 ''No doubt, that's why the population is so rayduced in France; but it has ad- yantages. A man is always as old as he is if he was born over there, but if he lives abroad he is a year younger on his birthday, counth' he be at home"

ficult to surpass in point of smart workmanlike appearance, and after all this is the race wrap par excellence, since it is as easily carried as worn. Thanks, moreover, to an immense va riety of tweeds and cloths, the most surprisingly effective productions, pre- senting herring-bone patterning, large line checks-very faintly suggested etc, to say nothing of many admirable colorings and mixtures, there is every promise we shall be privileged to ac- count these chic, and as eminently ''convenable" to summer services. Nor strangely enough to our latter day taste and understanding do these supremely sartorial evolvements strike the incongruous note one might just ly imagine they would, worn over some summer frivolity of muslin and frills. Wherefore are they to be talk en into the best consideration by those i whose dress allowance requires to be carefully and economically maneuv- cred And who with less provocation than diminishing banking account might successfully repress a desire, to possess at least one of the more elab- crate silk seductions, the which are being held in gentle abeyance to meet the exigencies of the midseason and Ascot.
 Someone, if mistake not, murmured desire to have a particular word writ ten anentsl slips, preferably transparent slips of esprit net muslin. And it was wish at once so reasonable and so seasonable, and so conducive to providing employment for the handy sewing maid, to say nothing of the girl who aspires to being her own modiste-a most laudable aspiration by the way, where blouses are con cerned, though not quite the simple task dreamt of by an untutored intelli- gence that it was very real pleasure for me to comply.
 The models picture veritable slips, lovely limp connections; that one at the top of ring spotted cream net, box plaited, and set on to yoke collar and front piece of stitched "ciel'' blue glace, with chemisette of cream guipure.
 The other, dainty thing of pale mauve white spotted muslin relieved by a fine embroidered lawn, in one of the new medallion patterns, a further pleasing motive to be remarked being the ''treillage" tlclSing at the top of the vest piece, a nice bit of workman ship that betokens the fingers of much delicacy and taste.
 A perfectly charming saeque taffeta coat is that depicted in black with "Amande" green Venetian satin fac- ings and great collar of coarse beige lace.

 By preparations, of course, is meant gowns At several smart establish ments I have had my attention called to these race crowns, usually of the tailor-made order, and l was led to note with many pleasurable sensa- tions, the determined insistence of sew eral representative elegantes for a studied simplicity. One gown there was that appealed to me instantly, as q creation assured of finding fine s'suecess." The material expressing it was perfect quality of black camefs hair cloth, the skirt set in series of broad box plaits, stitched down to

FOR LOVERS OF FLOWERS.
How B Vase of Blossooms Can Be Ar- ranged In an Artistic
 Manner.

One of the errors most frequently made is that too many flowers are put into the receptacle. Crowded flowers in mass are fatal to artistic effect. Mixtures are also to be avoid- ed. Choose only one or a few kinds of flowers at time and secure va riety by the use of foliage. Trailing plants and creepers are very useful in floral decorations. Grasses are also effective. They give that touch of lightness and relief from an ap- pearance of formality so essential to the desired impression of beauty. The next time you have a bunch of daisies put some light, feathery grasses with them, says the Philadel. phia Times.
 You can get very artistic effects by combining blossoms of different form and sizes. If you use all full-blown flowers you will have a somewhat heavy effect. By mixing in some buds you will avoid this
 There are now so many different kinds of artistic pottery and glass that a choice of receptacle for the flowers is not difficult. Simplicity of style is most in keeping with wild flowers, and it is quite possible to carry out pretty schemes with com monplace jars and crockery. Even such ordinary articles as jugs or jars of brown pottery may be turned int, account.
 Another thing to remember is that long-stemmed flowers require high vases or jars to do them justice. Those of short stature look best in bowls or vessels of breadth rather than height. One should study na- ture and do as she does American Beauty roses will look well in a tow ering receptacle, but violets and pansies are better arranged low.
 They grow that way. Pansies look pretty in rustic baskets or those ob- long straw baskets now being much used. They may be arranged on moss or with ferns.

 1t is to be the latter attraction, prob ably more than anything else, that Saratoga owes this revival of interest. For number of years society has vir- tually dropped the race course as it exists in this country. True, Derby day is the one great day of the summer social season in Chicago, but New York has nothing that equals the American derby, and has shown but scant par tiality in the races at Sheepshead and Saratoga.
