Special Correspondence Of The Evening Star.

NEW YORK, January IL. 1908.
In the days when silks and satins stood
alone" and velvets were almost as thick as
carpets, there were special bandboxes for
the holding of certain trifes. These were
called "necktie boxes" but undersleeves
lay In them as well, also berthas, sashes,
fuckers and other little accessories of the
toilette. At moments notice the plain
est frock could be smartened up by these
dainty retails, which were exquisite in finish
and most feminine in quality.
Necktie boxes are not spoken of now
adays, but all the pretty trifies they once
held are again the rage. To them have
been added numberless other details
among them separate petticoat fiounces
which may be buttoned on in an Instant
bodice suspenders and girdles of ribbon or
tinsel, and perhaps a floral drapery which
may form the bertha and sleeves for an
evening waist.
The value of these detached trimmings
is everywhere recognized. and in the smart
millinery establishments they are made
with as much care as are hats themselves
The shops likewise show them in all their
ramiticatlOnS in less expensive form and

needlewoman reproduces them at even
lower cost.

Women of fashion now adorn their hats
with splendid jewels, namely, brooches,
enriched with pearls, diamonds or tur-
quoises. In the same line, long black
clasps, destined to fix the hat on the head,
are very effective in design. The newest
effects are of chased matt gold, adorned
with rich motifs representing birds or ex-
quisite floral decorations. Some of them
are simply decorated with a large tur-
quoise or emerald framed with brflliants
In the way Of necklaces many new and
tasty patterns are to be seen. Those COM
posed of several rows of pearls are still
to the fore. The rows of pearls are gath
cred together with superb designs repre-
senting fine floral decorations in bril-
liants. In this taking line Is noticed an
original and beautiful necklace consist
ing of two snakes of chased matt gold
with entwined tails, while their heads are
facing each other and seem to be biting a
dainty pink pearl The top Of the heads
is adorned with large diamond, and
rubieS serve as eyes.
Back or side combs, hairpins and the
like are extensively shown. In this order
let me mention magnificent diadem rep
resenting a spray of flowers. Some of
the flowers are of opal, while others are
thickly studded with brilliants. The eff
feet of this superb diadem is particularly
striking.
An endless variety of hat pins Is shown
Flowers and foliage, treated in the new art
style, are the prevailing motifs heading
these charming articles. Among the most
favored designs are iris flowers of chased
matt gold, enamelled in the proper colors.
Others very popular also, consist of a large
baroque pearl surrounded with thistle
leaves delicately wrought. An exquisite
and original pattern is of light toftoise shell,
while the head is adorned with an OWLS
head Of chased matt gold, whose eyes are
rubies.
Marquise rings are still fashionable. Be

framed with brilliants, there are new and

do wonders for an incipient sore throat.
Battle the throat in alcohol or camphor,
then rub it briskly with the flesh brush.
The nail brush can be bought for almost
any price. AS it must endure much wear
and tear, So cents is the least it is wise to
pay for 1t. Avoid very harsh brush, and
use it never more than once day. Very
vigorous use of this brush is hard on the
tender cuticle about the nails. In cold
weather the skin about the nails cracks and
stain settles in it. Warm water and the
brush will cleanse it. They should be used
at night and some excellent emollient, such
as vaseline applied to heal the cracking.
And the ninth brush-have you forgotten
the feet? The toe nails should be as i'm
maculate as those of the fingers. "A large
nail brush costing % cents should be pur-
chased for their especial use. After bath
ing the feet in warm water, scrub the nails
thoroughly. Black stockings invariably
leave some stain, and this can be thorough
ly eradicated only with a stiff brush.

Answers to Correspondents.
Small holes" you complain OF are en-
larged pores, judge, frequently caused by
the excessive use of powder and neglect to
cleanse the skin thoroughly of it at night.
Nightly warm water and soap scrubs with
the face brush are the remedy. Once week
cleanse your face with cologne dipping an
old handkerchief into it. Apply cold cream
every day or so and rub off Immediately all
that soft, dry cloth will remove. AS to
obtaining larger eyes-it is better taste to
let them remain as they are than to pencil.
The use of lemons is good for the liver and
the eyes will clear and brighten as a result
of improved digestion.
Eau de quinine can be obtained of any
good druggist. 1t is prepared by many diff
ferent chemists. A reliable one will furnish
you with good article. 1t is excellent to
use with massage in cases of premature
grayness. If inconvenient for you to OBJ
tain, prepare the following yourself: 80
gramneS bay rum, so grammes castor Oil,
10 grammes tincture cantharides. The mas
sage means more than all the tonics in the
world Massage daily use the tonic every
other day.
Buy ammonia of a druggist who can be
relied on to sell pure article. To kill the
roots of the hair it should be applied with
out dilution. Apply Immediately after re-

process. They are seldom discouraged by
the first treatment, but you may need very
few repetitions.
