Toms face was white and he leaned

left the office: Were much obliged to

The bill was promptly made out. but
it was sent to Miss Reynolds instead Of

are either plain white or black and
white in combination, very elaborate
ly embroidered and trimmed with fur
and yards upon yards of fine lace.
Spotted silks are still being used, and
so are plain and spotted pannes and
velvets, and rich satin orientals, as
well as charming novelties in fanneIs,
the latter, of course, being for more
useful wear.
For smart afternoon and evening
wear lace and accordion-plaited chit
fon, mingled with sparing fairylike
touch, and sometimes bordered with
mink or sable, compose some Of the
most delightful new models. Russian
blouses made of velvet and trimmed
with mink are to be reckoned among
the handsomest and highest-priced
models. On the palmer blouses, made
of silk or flannel, big collars give place
to very neat high collars and soft
stocks of black and cOlored satins or
velvet, always surmounted by a dainty
little muslin turnover collar.
There is nothing more delightfully."-
restful after a hard days shopping
than to get quickly into a garment in
which one feels at perfect ease.
The sharp contrast between the hard
lines of the boned bodice and the COM
Portable looseness of the tea jacket APP
peals very strongly to the ajority of
womankind. They count the teajacket
among their most valuable posses
sions, and it is perhaps for this rea-
son that fashion makers have devoted
so much time and attention to this
ideal garment. 1t would be quite inn
possible to imagine anything more
charming than the new models in tea
jackets and lounging robes, and it
really seems as if originality of design
and perfection in workmanship could
go no further. The materials of
which they are composed seem to have
been woven for this special purpose,
while the trimming used is apPropri-
ate and beautiful in the extreme.
Sumptuous embroideries appear on
some of the most exclusive models,
and on others fur and lace in combi-
nation reign supreme. In the matter
of style the designs are quite varied,
but at the present moment the empire
shape seems to be the general favor
lite. Other desirable models are FASH
Toned after the Vatican period in the
silks of that time. The Japanese
shape also plays an important part
this season, and for these who like thia
rather severe style nothing could be
more effective than tesjacket made
OF japanese silk, turned back with
revers Of contrasting color.
