Diaphanous Tuiles.

The new tulles are almost as diapha-
nous as the old ones. but since they are,
intended for summer gowns nothing
could be more dainty. They are print
ed in delicate colors and are to be made
up with many rufties or flounces and
trimmed with much lace and abun-
dance of ribbon. The nets are very
new. and. being produced in so many
beautiful colors. they will become very
popular In string color they were very
fashionable some ten years ago, but
now they are infinitely handsomer.
They are strong too On the eoliennes
there are over twenty-five beautiful col
ors and also black and white, and they
may be made into pretty gowns with
the aid of lace and ribbon. Ribbon will
be much more in demand this season

OF these birds have c~ongregated and will
be out early for the first peep OF the sun,
From the reports tina come I'm after the

the various woods are full OF game and
the shooting will be excellent The flight OF
the woodcock to the south seems to be
about over and there are a few remaining
over. These will be in some gamebag be-
fore the week is we'll over and the others
will be taking their hegira thereafter.
The birds from New Hampshire and Ver-
mont and other northern points are still
going through in limited numbers. Gray
squirrels are apt 10 be less plentiful than
usual, OWNS to the small quantity OF
nuts this season.
The law on rabbits and gray squirrels
also goes on In Bristol county. Mass. on
Nov. 1. The law on partridges In that
county has been on for n month. The
game laws In both Massachusetts and
Rhode Island still prohibit the carrying Of
game birds across the border from one
state to the other. with the exception OF
duck.
