painted on it in clever fashion. The
box is stained a rich green, and the out

Straw embroidered sofa cushions are
the latest novelties in this overcrowded
field. The design on a pillow. covered
in green denim, is n large bunch Of
wheat and grasses, which are fastened
together with straw ribbons. All the en-
broidery is worked with fine straws, and,
strange as it may seem, the pillow is
both pretty and effective. The edges are
finished off with narrow straw-brald
of the same natural color as the wheat.

portation of dressing cases are especial
| ~ designed to avoid every ounce of i'm
necessary weight For this reason sew
eral of the finest cases are fitted with
sets of toilet articles made of an extra
quality of nickel in place of silver. In
bag, made of alligator skin, every piece
IN 1t IS mounted in highly polished nickel.
| 1t is an ordinary sized case, with every
thing in 1t for travelling comfort. and
still the weight of it is DELIGHTFULLY."- de-
ceiving. The same bag, fitted with as
many silver toilet articles, would be quit.
