For giving the requisite ''tuffiness, RI
evening and reception gowns. there is
lovely new chiffon ruehing which is edged
with maraoout. At present it is offered
only in either black or white. or the two
colors combined, but they mingle well
with the light tints of blue, pink and
gray.
A happy union of two of this seasons
hoveities as a plaid belt, which is fastened
with clasps Of Kaiserzini, and has
broad back piece Of the same metal TO ex-
tend the girdle in the fashionable dip"
Upon many OF the handsomest new
shirtwaIsts and stock collars, tiny outline
stitches are seen, in place of the French
knot, which was Tor time uhiduitolIs
and, IN consequence, became little tire
some.
The very newest Empire scarfs for
draping the head and shoulders are of
white, with small printed squares of the
same color, set off by narrow band of
Persian at either Size. rather Il contrast
TO the gay arabesques used earlier in the
season.
shows in his ladies window some very
swell corduroy hats, stitched so that the
work forms right angles with the ribs of
the fabric. They come in white. brown.
blue, gray end black. and are the proper
thlng for the tailor-made girls morning
and outing wear. The only trimming
permissible is knot of ribbon or coque
plume.
haiserzinn has appeared in so many
shapes and forms that it would seem
almost impossible to find a new one TO
admire. Yet a lea@'ng department store
mas at its bric-a-brac counter an exquisite
model, which was exhibited at the Dus-
seldoff exposition last spring, and is a
marvel of Workmanship and beauty. In
tended for centerpiece, it is in two tiers,
the upper enc small and round, the lower
oval, with irregular edges and rather
large. Flowers and fruit can be arranged
upon it to suit the fancy of the decorat-
ors, the shelves being used for both OF
either.
Some of the prettiest squirrel scarfs
and mutfs have the skins sewn together
IN slanting line that leaves a decided
ridge in the center of the garment. and
gives a richer luster TO the fur. which
has been raised from it's lowly estate of
q lining to the most fashionable pelt of
the year, even ermine being used in CON
nection with 1t as a humble accessory
as one may see in a Sixth avenue win
dow, where a squirrel set is faced with
ermine.
Wrist bags have been fairly running
riot in novelty lately, after being. for
such long time simply suede or kid
purses. They are jeweled now, or en-
broidered, or made of plaid or MORE
silks. But the very latest is an EN-
bossed suede bag of biscuit color. which
is wrought with daisies, the centre of
each being sort of pink pearl, surround
ed with heavy chenille petals, these again
outlined with faint tan threads.
The fluffy, ruched and ruffied matinee
girl may delight in carrying one of the
many exquisite opera bags, when she is
bound for the playhouse, but her tailor
made sister will rejoice to know that
there is a folding opera glass at an
uptown opticians which can be slipped
into vest pocket. One turn of tiny
crank and the lenses are in position,
ready for use, without being taken from
the morocco ease. Another and the
whole thing is folded into fiat parcel
only half an inch thick, and barely three
in length. Beside this convenience, it is
asserted that the protection from outside
light produces an image of much bright
ness.
Whole table sets Of imported linen can
be had now in the wheel work edges, the
cloths and napkins being either round or
square, as preferred, and comprising ev-
erything in the way OF doiiies, tray cloths
and runners" Upon some the needle
work is so elaborate than only small bit
remains at the center to show the orig
inal goods from which the threads have
been pulled to make the japanese
drawn work. New York Mail and Elk
