TO go Though Really
Beautiful Stylish and
Elegant

New York, July S.-As a matter o
diversion Dame Fahsion is usurpinI
the function Of lace and embroiderie
with the handkerchief and this usefu
little article has become the piece d.
resistance Of fashionable bodices anC
lingerie.
The Mexican kerchiefs embellisheC
with embroidery and drawn worl
with tiny squares Of linen in the cen
ter are used for this purpose. Three
are used for the front OF a bodice 4
a yoke effect is desired, three for tbs
back, one for the sleeve caps-that is
one for each sleeve-and one for each
Gun, requiring ten handkerchiefs tc
bodice Instead OF the yoke q
fashionable arrangement consists Of
placing the handkerchiefs diamond
shape down the front OF the bodice
with one on each shoulder at the
back placed in the same design. In
stead OF having caps for the sleeves
the uper part Is tucked or shirred 10
the elbow and the kerchiefs are in.
serted in the voluminous pun between
elbow and wrist. Still another pretty
way Of finishing the sleeve is having
Il extend only 10 the elbow and
draping the kerchief around the edge
in points so that the longest one ex.
tends almost 10 the wrists.
These handkerchiefs are rather ex.
pensiye in the intricate designs run.
ming as high as eighteen dollars a
doSen. There are less costly samples
however that may be purchased as
cheap as twenty-five cents each.
For the heavy butchers linen shirt
waists instead OF handkerchiefs dol.
lies are used-just the plain old.fash.
ioned dolly. Being II heavier materi.
al they are better suited 10 the decor.
alton OF coarser fabrics and an incon.
gruous combination is avoided.
The every day linen handkerchief,
however has IFS uses, for II Is used
to make very dainty corset-eovers
and yokes OF chemlses. Four hand.
kerchiefs are used for a corset cover.

could not counteract the unpopularity
into which they fell.
