 Much in evidence this season are the all white fans to match all white cos tunes. Dainty in its design and garni- ture of spangles, tiny in its size, is a fan that has the faintest suggestion of color in the water color scroll and flower work of Marie Antoinette de sign. Fans with spangles, large or small. are more popular than ever.
 The vogue of tiny fans not much lon ger than the palm of one's hand is now thoroughly established. For the last two or three years they have been steadily shrinking In size until now it aeems that the limit has been reached some of the really exquisite examples measuring only three inches in length These are to be attached to the long neck chain in place of the lorgnette and make delightful bijoux with their ex- Quisitely dainty coloring and flashing spangles.
 Importations from Paris as shown in ornaments for the hair never assumed a daintier or more universally becoE- kng guise. The acme of elegance seems 1 to have been attained, and so cleverly are the flowers fastened to the support that, while secure, they seem in mo- wise fastened but, vibrating at almost every breath, assume the airy look of blossom or leaf fresh picked, even with the drops of dew. as seen in the brilliants giittering here and there on leaf and petal.

A wry Greeting.

Dr. Madison c. Peters tells of Judi crous break made by young man in orders just about graduating into the ministry. This youthful divine was called upon to address the inmates of one of the largest penitentiaries in the country on an occasion when the pris. oners were assembled in the chapel for prayers.
 When he looked down from his pull pit at the vicious, depraved and des- perate looking characters i'll the con gregation the young parson experi- enced quite turn. Surely he would find 1t difficult to say anything that would impress such an audience. He entirely forgot in that instant all the fine sentiments he had intended to give expression to. He cudgeled his brains in vain to remember single appro- priate remark for the occasion. He cleared his throat once, then again and again. Finally he spoke, but instead of the fine address he had hoped to make the best he could stammer forth was:
 .Ah, my friends, am indeed happy to see so many of you here this morn ingr'-Lppincott's Magazine.

TOILET ACCESSORIES.

 Tashionable Belts, GirdHes, Fans and
 Couture Ornaments.
 Very chic are the new belts of white or tan leather, the latter combined with dark blue kid. The metal belts, .toe, show many curious devices of birds in new finishing of a unique sort. One of the quaintest and prettiest of the latter named is seen in the third illustration from top, the design being that of owls and the moon combined The finish is that known as champagne colored gold, finish very popular in Paris this last season. Below this is a red crush ribbon belt set off by a ring belt of oxidized silver ornamented with finely cut heads of owls and eagles with eyes of dull green and buff color stones. At the top is shown a fine white kid belt with three dainty straps set off with a bit of silver gilt in the finish. Below this Is tan and blue kid belt with dull gold buckle. The blue leather shows in the middle strip, while a prettily shaped back takes off a somewhat too severe effect.
 Chatelaines and bags! Never in years has such. variety been shown in so great profusion. The woman who does not own several, from the miniature chain purse to the large shopping bag, is hard to find. Then 1t is so smart to have them match one's costumes that fhe color must be considered as well as the style. It is study in feathers, too, veritable education in varieties. The Bark green and deep blue lead in smart ness, though the red ones are much in evidence. A practical novelty in dark green leather may be used as a small bag, the full length, being partly caught up, or it may be let down, hanging straight, for greater convenience and
