been for the very lightest tint of apricot,
which was worn hundred years ago. So
many of the new materials are well suited

adopted it. 1t is capital in the daytime and
equally good in the evening intermixed with

IT'SBRODERIE ANGLAISE
BUT LINEN HANDKERCHIEFS
MUST BE OF THE sHEEREsT.
The New Silhouette Effects for Mourn
ing Handker-
chiefs.

Written for The Evening Star.
A search for the correct handkerchief
lands the shopper before the sheerest
square of linen, almost the size OF the
smallest mans handkerchief, a quarter
inch hem finished with eyelet hemstitching'
and the barest suggestion of the Initial let
ter outlined in eyelet embroidery. This FOR
the tailored woman. And for MlIadl Dalnty
the same square with clusters of tiny hoW-
ers or leaves in each corner done In french
convent embroidery. and inside OF this a
fligree surrounding the initial. This letter
is ofttimes incased in the heart of butter
fly or shamrock.
Colored kerchiefs seem to be relegated to
the ranks of kimonas, except for chic
touch in the pocket of the Norfolk Jacket.
Especially attractive for this purpose are
the silk squares in old rose and Delft blue,
crossed at intervals with delicate white
stripe. One of the newer hankerchiefs has
the initial set in a shield embroidered in
red silk, around which are scattered three
or four wee flowers in red.
Dealers have at last begun to realize the
need of novelty in mourning goods The
ominous black bordered tear-abSorber is
being supplemented this year by the most
artistic of silhouetted effects. Small, pear
shaped figures with sprays of leaves, scroll
patterns around the border, bow knots
scattered here and there, Grecian designs
inside the black hem, feur-de-lis and the
popular button effect all offer a most pleas
ing variety to the bereft shopper.
Real lace handkerchief, always exper-
sive, are more so this year because of their
greater size and in the heavier laces they
are more useful for giving a rosette effect
or a touch of elegance to an evening gown,
than for an accessory to the fan.
A Pretty Model.
quettishly filled by the kerchief of Valen-
ciennes. A handsome mouchor made of
the large design Valenciennes had a center
of fine lawn, the edge of which fitted into
the figure of the lace, and on the mesh of
the lace border were embroidered the
tiniest of leaves or forget-me- An
other was entirely built of inch-wide hand
embroidery, alternating with Valencennes
insertion and finished with a ruffie of the
Valepciennes.
Less expensive, but appealing strongly to
woman S love for lace and fine linen, are
the squares surrounded by a narrow edg-
ing of Irish crochet or Armenian lace in
rose and star-hower designs. In the linen
shops are found Lve-inch squares plain
and with drawn-work ard French embrOid-
cry. to be used as centers by the woman
who prefers to choose her own lace bor-
ders.
These dainty but evasive feminine neces-
sites can be had for any price, from $3.50
down; the plain linen, spoken of in the first
paragraph. being sold at SIS dozen. Even
the best shops, however are still showing
small squares with embroidered initials
and sprays of flowers or leaves for 12hz
cents apiece.
