A small photograph Of black suede has
a peculiar design in French gilt around
the lower edge, and out Of this grows
conventional plant with tiny gold leaves
and two lotus flowers composed Of small
amethysts set in the brightly polished
gilt. =.
White, bone combs for the hair have
extremely fanciful designs Of gold set
with cleverly initiated precious stones.
Three of these combs, forming set, are
S15 each and have simply an empire
wreath pattern outlined with small
rhinestones.
A powdered sugar bowl and several
smaller pieces 10 be used for various ra-
BILE relishes are made of Bohemian glass
covered with a silver lattice work. Two
oval-shaped SAL: cellars also match these
pieces, or tiny individual salts, fashioned
after the same pattern.
An exquisite little imported Their
'nomcter is supported by brass columns
on tie top Of a short fight of greenish
! hronZ" steps. Standing on the lowest
is the figure of Il cool looking cupid ex-
aminlng the glass and holding a large
straw hat with both hands behind his
| back.
Girdles Of sterling silver, gun metal
and jet have .fringed ornaments as
| finish at both ends, but otherwise are
| without decorations Of any kind. There
are fanciful varieties in gilt with stones
set in them, but they have not nearly the
smart appearance Of the palmer ones,
which have beautifully executed work Oh
them.
Blue in all shades, from delicate light
tones to all the medium and darker
shades of the color, will be prominent in
spring millinery. Wistaria, hyaGnths
and dahlias made of velvet in faint blue
tints and mixed skillfully with green
foliage are the favorite floral trimmings
for hats made Of blue straw, tulle or
combination of both of these materials.
One of the most cleverly compact pieces
Of furniture, and one no doubt expressly
designed for hotel or apartment use, is a

sary to ones comfort in this direction is
inside of it, and the other half of the
table opens IN the same way, and this is
stored with paper, envelopes and packs Of
cards, counters and poker chips.
Velour has been discovered to be one
Of the most effective backgrounds for
table covers, ornamented with burnt
which shades slightly toward an olive
tint, is a border Of conventional tulips
and leaves Of leather, which are naturally
colored and appliqued on the velour. An
other round-shaped table cover has a
decoration of leather hyacinths put on in
an exceedingly novel and pretty fashion.
The flowers and leaves are merely
caught in places to the velour, giving
them highly raised effect, indescribably
pleasing and artistic.
Colonial mantels, with the fireplace
and hearth fitted with Dutch tiles, are
the most suitable for room in. which
| there is tendency toward this popular
style Of furnishing. In one of the large
stores many clever suggestions are seen
Tor just such decorative mantels, and in
the same place there are quaint doorway
! conceits. A particularly odd one is a
| divided door Of dark weathered oak. the
upper part Of which is filled in with dull
yellow Opaque glass in queer designs and
| connected by beaded ornamental pat
terms. Above this door is an overhangins
| shelf for suitable bits of old china or
some specimens of strange stems.
The smartest flower ornaments for the
Sn.S gre 19w Maue OF gauze ribbons
minute specks of rhinestones. A spray
of black gauze leaves has three frail roses
at one side. These are fairly powdered
with tiny brilliant stones, and both flow.
