Flowers and Plumage in Millinery.
From the Millinery Trade Review

When a combination Of tints is required.
plumage is generally resorted to. flowers
of a different color from the hat shape
being mostly reserved for trimming under
the brim. For this purpose, pink or vel
low roses are often chosen and also white
and palest pink carieifas. with their own
green leaves. A somewhat daring har-
mony consists in theIchoice of two long
ostrich tips. one Ola bright rose pink the
other brilliant copperish red as trim
ming for a cigar-bf6wI felt. I have also
seen a dark moss-gteen felt hat trimmed
with three tips. one turquoise blue, another
saffron yellow and the third fighter
moss-green shade. In both cases the
feathers were fastened in front of the
crown SO as to curve slightly forward over
the brim, which was turned up in front
and fattened DOWN behind. The brown
hat had liberty ribbon to match. bound
round the base Of the crown, crossed at
the back. where the epds passed through
Sits in the felt, to be knotted together
lower down and hang In streamers over
the shoulders. -.

Imitation Gems"
From the brooklyn Citizen.

From the Brooklyn Citizen.
Many wearers of precious stones must
have been disagreeably surprised by the
revelation that those supposed to be emer-
aids are in general only clever limitations
consisting of bits of quartz artificially col
ored. instead of the green stone found in the
earth and colored by nature.
This piece OF information came out in
cidentally in the comments of experts on
a large consignment of a new imitation sent
here from Paris as genuine emeralds, the
false character of which was discovered by
only one expert who tried the test of fire
among others and found that the stone con-
sisted of two pieces of quartz. a doublet in
fact. with film of some matter between
which gave the whole stone it's beautiful
green color.
The new Importation was said to have
got it's fine color by a newly discovered
process, and when 1t was found that in
stead of being single piece of quartz 1t
was a combination of two, and SO double
fraud. the trade was indignant.
AS for the consumers who will now think
they have possibly spent genuine money for
false gems, there may be no way in which
they can retrieve the past. but they can
make sure that they will not be subjected to
such deception In future, and that Is by
securing written guarantee from the deal
er that the stone they are buying is gem
uine one. and not in any sense an imitation.

A Quivering Velvet.

The latest and perhaps the most distin-
Guished OF Partisan velvet novelties is cali
ed "frisson." or auivering velvet. 1t takes
It's name from a gently rippled surface sug-
sestive Of light and shade which produces
the effect OF shot fabric. This velvet is
very effective in light evening colors and
there Is a pretty fancy OF wearing with a
gown gems that carry out the nuances in
the "frisson." Almond green and deli
cate parma violet are charming, and an
other lovely tone which has taken the heart
or La Mode by storm is known as aurore.
As one may well imagine. this new tint IS
or an Elusive pnky blue which reminds one
0r the dawn We rave about but seldom
see except in the minds eye.
For day frocks the color range in velvet
IL almost unlimited. One OF the most fas-
cinating is soft mushroom brown while
shade lighter than the favorite mouse
has been christened moths wing" Then
there are wild hyacinth blue. cactus red
ana wistaria mauve. all charming In their
way. But perhaps the most chic is ''moun-
tain ash" a shade borrowed from Dame
Nature which is truly bewitching Har-
ntony IN colors instead of startling contrast

A Fashion Decree Detied.

From London Truth
A lady who devotes whatever mind she
has to dress and who Is one Of those who
pass as the leaders Of fashion In Paris
confded to me recently that the best
dressed women entirely decline to adopt the
fashion Of big pun sleeves coming down to
the elbows and a sort of cape over the
shoulders because they do not consider It
so graceful as the close sleeves and light
bodices, for It makes woman look twice
as broad as she really is. and is only fitted
for tall, thin and what are called by Ameri-
cans slab fronted girls" The fashion
said my authority. has been started by q
dressmaking establishment In Paris and
London which Is more ,patronized by Eng
lish and Americans DESTROYS to be In the
latest fashion than by French women. and
the leading French dressmakers In Paris
have declared themselves against 1t.

Skirt of Three Elounces,

WAYS such powerful factor, and this up
ward line affects the most telling touch
imaginable. The eye follows it with full
gratitude for a glimpse of a graceful line.
A modste told me the other day that
camellias and stiff petaled flowers of this
family Will be worn on fur toques. l was
shown a swagger hat of sable in fiat SAL
lor shape with a close set wreath of
white gardenias around the crown. An
other model / saw was theater creation
with crown of white violets and their
leaves. A brim of embroidered pale green
tulle spread like an aureole around the
head. Two white feathers SO placed as to
fall over the brim in front gave a very
novel movement to the hat
Soft Amazon Felts
4 shape which promises to become pop
ular in the exclusive modistic world is a
soft Amazon felt with a Bersaglieri feath-
er. Every one who has Travelled in Italy
will remember the hats worn by the SOL
diers of this favorite regiment, and fash
ion has adopted the regimental plume for
one of her novelties this season. 1t Is a
long, dropping feather in bottle green, but
the milliner has them in two tones of diff
ferent colorS A hat of this description
much admired at the races was in dark
blue felt with awiSt of ruby velvet around
the crown and a mass of BerSaglieri feath-
ers in the two shades at the side. The
dark nuance predomlnated, but here and
there We're touches of ruby that made the
chapeau both brilliant and original.
'All the worlds stage" So said the
great Shakespeare. who, if he had lived
until this era, might surely have been
tempted to paraphrase his original senti-
ment by declaring that all the stage is a
modistic world and the actresses thereon
ma nnikins. These French actresses GER
tainly know how to gown themselves in the
most fetching manner. and at the opening
of the Gymnaise for the premiere of LIE
Riquet'' the frocks worn were stunning.
Vert Smart.
Two evening creations were especially
lovely, one in empire style being smart to a
degree 1t was fashioned from pink NOUS
seline embroidered with butterflies in old
rose At the hem was a deep velvet fiounce
covered with butterflies, and about the cor
sage and arms were draperies of the NOUS
seline caught up with ropes of mock gems
The other frock was a girlish AFFAIR."
harmony in petal de rose pink evolved from
pink spotted net. The three-tiered skirt had
it's flounces edged with a shell embroidery
and was shirred in one at the waist with
the bloused bodice. This charming waist
was trimmed with ruffies of embroidery
caught on the decolete with chiffon roses.
Apropos of the theater, it is essential
nowadays that the mondaine should be ia
miliar with the latest productions of the
stage, for in exclusive Partisan salons and
at smart dinners theatrical gossip is in
dulged in with enthusiasm.

Mousseline Velour.
An ideal material for evening gowns
is veIours mousseline, which takes lovely
lights and shades. A leading ateiier Is
making for a smart American beautiful
frock In the new bronze green shade De-
loved by Parisians 1t is trimmed with
large embroidered velvet buttons down
the front of the skirt and bodice. A tuck
ed bertha of deep copper colored mechiln
lace is the fetching waist garniture.
great deal of fur, used as edges ana
bands, is put on evening dresses, and
line of fur about the bottom of gown
protects 1t wonderfully and at the same
time imparts an added air of elegance.
Hand embroidery on tucks is dainty
trimming for the debutante frock, ana a
fascinating little dress for this fortunate
person is a baby blue chiffon trimmed
with narrow black velvet ribbon.
While upon the trimming subject, re-
markably attractive effects are gained
from an arrangement of panels, each
overlapping the. other and bordered with
an applique galloon in velvet or SILK In
tones shade darker than the gown ma
terial.

This simple phase means much to

exhaustive search of the markets Of
the world and completion of plans
that have been forming for year.
To you it means the opportunity of
choosing from the most wonderful col
collection of Toys ever brought TO
Wilmington.
The Doll Houses of Toytown are
beautiful, with furniture to match.
Of course the dolls have all the house,
hold utensils they need. There are
stores the "TOytown, too, and meat
markets, livery stables, etc. In fact
almost everything is complete in "Toy
town"
There is one thing about Toy
town" that is remarkable. The
animals vary so much in size, rang
ing from a couple of inches high to
those fully three feet tall, and many
of the horses are covered with the
same kind of skin and hair as those
that go up and down the streets in
Wilmington.
In stating that we have the most
wonderful collection of Toys ever
brought to Wilmington, we are not
indulging in an idle boast, for we
know whereof we speak. This state
ment is made only after careful study
of conditions, and after visiting TOY
