Shopping Suggestions.
The burnt straw which was SO modish
without trimming. common in last seasons
hats. has reappeared this spring and some
of the chic hats Of the spring are either
partly. or wholly fashioned fronl,a straw OF
that shade.
A swinging flower pot of Japanese pot
terry is as ornamental as a vase, and has
nothing of the general utility air of the
usual flower pot. 1t is square of shape,
green of color and has a flower decoration
Of white. A pulley of the same green pot
terry and a heavy cord of the same shade
accompany the pretty and useful thing.

The Dutch pictures, which were so decid-
eddy novelty last winter, have not lost
their popularity, but they have taken on
new forms, and instead of the quaint little
tGbby maidens and funny lads there are
groups of solemn burghers, and bevieS of
quaint Dutch women, framed in weathered
oak. Usually the pictures serve two pur-
poses: the burghers' portraits surmount a
pipe-rack, and the sedate ladies a key
rack. They are inexpensive, though effect
i've.
Some new Japanese flower holders are
artistic and effective in an unusual degree.
A violet holder of blue pottery has five
or six slender tubes rising from the
irregular ball which forms the base
and makes a satisfactory arrangement
of the short-stemmed flowers posi-
bic. A long, narrow wall-pocket of
dull green and yellow pottery has an
opening half way uD for short-stemmed
flowers, while the opening at the end serves
for the arrangement of the longer-stemmed
blossoms.
Exposition novelties of all kinds may be
confidently expected this spring, and among
the first examples are the stockings promi-
nently displayed in one shop. All of them
have Souvenir, st. Louis, 1904" arranged
somewhere about them. In one design the
lettering is put down the diamond-shaped
medalliOns of pale blue which mark the
front of the black Isle; on another, part
of the legend is set around the top of the
black boot. and the rest marks the termina-
ton of the drop-stitch stripes above. A
third variety shows the words set in zig
gag stripes, which bayadere' about the
stocking.
The two prettiest designs among the ex-
position novelty stockings are of black
Isle. One has lace boot with small square
medallions of plain Isle set in the lace, the
upper one embroidered with 1904" the low
er one with "St. Louis while the center
one has a tiny flag. All the designs are so
small as TO be inoffenSve The other pat
tern has a tiny pocket either of red white
and blue, or some other light color set at
the top of a plain black stocking, and
though the pocket may not be as service
able as the manufacturer imagined, il is at
least inconspicuous. All the hosiery is of
fine Isle and costs 81 and $3.50 a pair.
