Delightful Things in
Imported Belt Buckles.

Delightful L Kings IN H
Imported Belt Buckles.
There are belts made On the same
lines as the suede opera glass bags, with
out-out designs and jewels that are also
exceedingly pretty.
Attractive flower fans are rather small
open-and-shut fans with flowers IN silk
OF different colOrs, 50 that the fans look
like clusters of flowers when they are
closed.
There are odd, quaint things in art
nouyeau designs, little different from
the heads OF ianguishing maidens that
have been 50 prevalent, and these are
good, too, but only half is good.
Other handsome and inexpensive fans,
also Of the open-and-shut variety, have
plain backs and a colOred design on the
front of female figures surrounded with
floral designs. These have plain unco.-
ored wooden sticks.
Bags about a yard in length, possibly
somewhat less, come in white. blue and
pink cotton and are embroidered on the
embroidery. These are laundry bags for
s0iled linen, and cost 30 cents each
Women who have invested in linen
shirtwaists with embroidered hand
worked fronts, paying high prices for
them, are now looking aSkance at waists
which seem 10 be almost identical in work
and material, and which are selling for
from 81 to 50.
MORE and changeable effects are to be
found II dress silks which are little
different from those We have seen here
tofore. One gray silk, which is plaided
off into tiny checks with hair lines of
black, has a MORE effect through it. An
other silk, with a check pattern formed
by the hair lines, is q strong blue and
green changeable. White silk, which has
slightly larger checks formed with black
lines, also has the MORE effect, and is
much more effective than if plain.
Oriental draperies of regular light
weight curtain material. the patterns
having the effect of being darned in, are
most interesting There are landscapes
in these draperies. tall trees half yard
high perhaps. and on the small green
island upon which they appear to stand
are long legged birds That is II part
of one interesting design. In some of
the draperies the colors are interesting
and in others garish. The material is
not quite two yards wide.
There are delightful things in belt
buckles, brand-new, imported ones. They
are Of silyer-gilt and silYer-bronze for
the most part. There is silver for q ba-
sis, anyhow. and the outside of the metal
is colorcd according to the subject. The
buckles are solid, heavy, and in animal
designs They are indescribable, or.
rather, il is not possible in a description
to give an idea of their attractiveness.
Who would think of two Kids with their
heads together, the full figure of the ami
mails, not the heads alone, as worth while
in belt buckle, or as anything but UNI
pleasant But, as a matter of fact, the
design is one of the best and will be
delightfully."- smart with a shirtwaist suit.
There is pair of eagles on another
buckle, and others with pairs of doves.
One of the dove designs has the heads
together and the other has the heads
apart. Still another buckle which is
good has the figure of an owl, the full
length body with feet out and the wings
spread on either side. All the animals
have red eyes, and there is certain
style about them which makes them well
worth the $40, if one can afford to in
dulge III these expensive, smart fads
The buckles will not become common.
One of the prettest varieties of opera
glass bags are suede. in a soft dull green
or tan, and are lined with different colors.
some with red, some with pink and others
with pale green. The bags are the fat
kind, regular bag shape with two straight
sides. The front side has a design OF
flowers upon it, tleur de lis. in some in.
stances, small and delicat1ly done, and
merely outlined in color n little deeper
than that of the bag. The suede is cnt
out between the flowers, and beneath the
design Is set satin to match the lining OF
the bag, which shows slightly at the ton.
Here and there ON the design are set
small jewels the color of the silk beneath
There are leather straps drawing up tbp
the daintiest bags that have been seeu
ter long while.-New York Times.
Those Japanese cotton crepes which
are so serviceable for summer draperies
and which are always to be found in
delightful effects in blue and white and
other combinations more or less attrac
tive, show some delightful effects now
One of the best for instance, has tn,
ground work Of a dark green and upon il
enormous chrysauthemums in white. Il
is most effective. There are soft tonel
of a medium shade Of blue and there ar,
| Crepcs in light yellow brown or brown
| ish yellow which are also excellent
