chara cterizes many Of the more prominent
social leaders Of London and Paris in the
matter of decolletage. Indeed, an ex-
tremely low-cut corsage is looked upon as
being vulgar. -,
E=rs The round sdceolletage, which slips off
the curve OF the shoulder, while it comes
we'll above the bust line, Is one of the sea-
sons fancies, and for youthful bellies is
especially becoming. The fashion of the
moment is for anything that will assist in
the lengthening of the. shoulder line, and
anything interfering with this effect is
tabooed.
For young girls and unmarried bellies the
extreme of simplicity, as to cut and line,
is considered the correct thing, no matter
how rich the materials.
Time was when the mere idea of using
cloth, no matter how fine, for an evening
gown would have been looked upon as a
wild and far-fetched idea. Now, how
ever, the very fine cloths are in high
/ favor and the recent importations show
that the Paris modistes have accepted
the idea with enthusiasm.
Silks, velvets, gauzes chiffons, tulle, net
and lace are equally in favor and equally
suitable for the expression of the current
modes
Spangled and pailletted effects have
taken such hold upon the fashionable

1t is pretty well established that the

For those who do not care for or can

St. Agnes eve, Jan. 20, is sa'-
cred to the maiden who would know what
the future has in store for her, matrimo-
nially. BY various arts, she seeks TO
learn her fate.
Would she see her lord and master that
is to be in her dreams? Then, taking on
her shoes, she must place them IT. fash
ion and pointed in the direction Of the
nearest church, repeating at the same
time these cabalistic lines:
set my boots in the shape of IT.
Hoping my true love for to see:
The shape of his body, the color OF his hair,
And the daily apparel my true love doth wear
Then she must get into bed backwards, pre-
serving strict silence
To know II lovers are faithful. she should fol-
low the instructions in these verses:
Two hazel nuts l throw into the fame
And to each nut l give sweethearts name.
This with the loudest bounce. me sore amazed,
That in fame of brightest color blazed;
As blazed the nut, SO may thy passion Bow
For twas thy nut that did SO brightly glow.
These glowing nuts are eInblens true
Of what in human life we view
The Unmatched couple fret and .an fume,
Or from each other wildly start,
And with noise forever part.
Eut see. the happy. happy pair,
With mutual fondness while they burn, 2
Still to each other kindly turn,
And. rs the vital sparks decay, g
Together. gently sink away
Till life's o.deal being past,
Their mingled ashes rest at last.

Fortunes may also be foretold by clever
persons from the shapes assumed by the
ashes Of the burned nuts.
Another odd custom is to suspend three
branches Of an evergreen three from
doorway. Each is named, and the person
who first passes thru the door and whose
name corresponds to one given to one
of the evepgreens is the fated man.
