IN THE SHOPS.

Tn some senses of the word it is a
charm, not in Others however, for it is
small red Skull something the color of
the soil in some places gives to human
bones. There are diamond eyes and
ring at the top by which it is attached to
a chain, and there is sermon upon the
breVity of human life.
OF all things for woman it is the last
that 1T would be supposed she would
need in her paraphernalia, but perhaps
that is the reason she wears it on a.
ring with a number of other trinkets in
gold-a square safe of the precious metal.
Real violets. real artificial ones that is
to say, in contradistinction to embroid
cred, painted, or chiffon flowers, edge d
parasol. The parasol. is plain, of white
silk, and the entire edge finished with a
band of these violets deep purple in
colon.
Here is for side elasties. Probably tho
woman who almost counts the threads in
her wearing apparel that they may not
be one more than is absolutely necessary
would not wear them. but the more Slen-
der woman might. They are of silk, and
at the top there is a nice little bow Of
ribbon with little rings embroidered
that is, rings covered like the Renais-
sance embroidery rings in White-tacked
to the ribbon here and there. There is a
large ring worked in silk or pink or
blue or whatever is the color of the
elastic, to button or sew to the edge of
the corsets.
Very pretty and good-sized work bags
capable, actually, of holding a piece of
work that is bigger than handkerchief.
cost only 65 cents. These have a round
piece stiffened for the bottom, the bag
material gathered on to this. and then
the whole drawn up with ribbon at
the top. The material is of some Of the
pretty cotton goods of the nature of Gre
tonnes in a dainty pattern in delicate
colors.
Jewell boxes. rather small, covered
with fine leather on the outside. and
velvet on the inside. have two compart-
ments, each large enough to hold a
watch, and in the top there is a place for
pins, hat or stick pins. They cost only

case for he is near some members or his
family sure to be found within

glass always suggests itself as most APP
propriate for the receptacle which is to
receive the fruit, the pure, sparkling crys-
tai. bringing out all the crimson lowell
ness of the berries. There are the round
bowls and low dishes of cut glass for
strawberry serving. They are in exquf-
site designs, and remind one of an enor
nous drop of dew in which sunbeam
has become imprisoned and then carved
by fairy fingers. new style of cutting
is called the ''pinwheel." The designer
saw a pinwheel in motion and then sat
down and translated his impressions into
glass. Another striking pattern is the
''whirl." The chrysanthemum pattern is

tivating squatty little cut glass cream lug
and a small sugar bowl with a flaring
ton. Their quaint old-time shape is very
