tiny silver pencil.
The Ladies' 'Monocle.-It is mount

place, while fixed in the underside of

The Flat Necessaire-This is made
of gold and contains coin purse, pin
holder, stamp box, and a bakers doz-
en- of other adjuncts for enhancing
twentieth century beauty. In some
of its variations it offers an outfit
sufficient for an actress on a tour,
with sticks of rouge and eyelash pen
ellis, powder puff, and mirror.
The Wing Shaped Fan.-Its out
spread pinions have flown into dizzy
heights of favor. Not the ostrich,
the marabout, nor other fluffy feath-
erings, but the smooth, gIistening
plumage of the peacock. the jay, the
guinea fowl, the partridge, and the
seagull fashion this pet of fans into
double spread eagle pattern. 1t is
especially fascinating In the delicate
soft gray and pretty white tones of
the seagull A peculiar gray pearl
is seen as the frame or sticks of the
seagull fan, while the ordinary moth

ivory inlaid with gold becomes the
setting for the darker and merezbril-
liant hues of the otner plumage

shields, to make two plain under
blouses of white wash silk with either
loose three-quartnr sleeves simply
hemmed on the bottom or a longer
sleeve with a narrow wrist band that
buttons tight.
She places bone castings in the side
seams and in the darts of these shirts,
from which the bones are slipped
when the shirts are washed.
She uses these undershirts instead
of blouse Innings, and in the mfdsum-
mer makes them with low neck and
sleeves only long enough to hold the
shields.
For persons who perspire between
the shoulders when playing golf and
the like she wisely bastes a piece of
thin flannel or thin stockinette in the
shirt, which keeps the outside shirt
when colored, from ruin.
She buttons the outer shirt with
minute buttons an inch apart, which
keep the blouse fat in front and
tight.
She fits the shoulders carefully and
slips the sleeve in at the most be-
coming angle.
She fastens the blouse with a mar
row band of the same material attach
ed to the blouse as far as the side
seams, leaving the front loose. Over
the loose front the band buckles with
a small brass buckle, which is remov-
ed when the blouse is washed.
She sews on the back of this band
three eyes and sews corresponding
hooks on the bands of the skirts that
are worn with the blouse.
