why The TAble knife Wa. Rsunaes

why she Table Knife Was Rsunaea. /.
Table knives until the seventeenth
century always lad sharply pointed
blades, natural survival from the
days when 9 knife was at once a dag
ger, hunting knife and table knife and
fork combined The rounded end was
introduced from France. 1t happened
that Cardinal Richeiieu was compelled
to entertain at his table Chancellor
Segtier, a man OF rude manners, who
at the close Of the neal proceeded to
nse his knife as toothpick This so
upset the cardinal that he ordered the
end Of every knife in his possession to
be rolihded, and SO great was Richie
lieu's influence that the fashion was
adopted ali over the country.

with the sprirp styles, may be brought
up to date by the addition of broad
epaulettes Of ribbon. These epaulettes
are made from narrow ribbon, latticed
and shaped to fall wen down over the
shoulder. The intervening spaces are
filed in with fancy Mexican stitches or
equally pretty hand work done in silk of
a harmonizing color. A deep folded gir-
die, the folds faggotted together, and a
stock or a flowing cravat all made from
the same ribbon, give the bodice a fin
ished appearance and not the look of a
garment brought up to fashionable re-
auirements by means of patchwork ae-
5eessories. A latticed work of ribbon is
a pretty fastening for girdle made to
wear with ribbon epaulettes, and, despite
rumors in the fashionable world to the
contrary, high girdIes are still being
worn.

A new model in street toilettes is Of
crushed velvet in smoke-gray, cut with
a belted Eton jacket with shallow revers
opening over a white broadcloth vest.
The skirt Is laid in box pleats, and is
trimmed with strappings of cloth in a
shade of gray just deeper than the vel
vet. 1t clears the floor The jacket fits
closely at the back end and has the full
topped sleeves, which are cased into a
tight cuff at the elbow. Fancy buttons
are used both for useful and ornamental
purposes on this garment
Prune colored chiffon velvet is the fab
ric shown in a calling frock of unusual
gracefulness. The gown is made in a
cleverly fashioned combination of the
loose and the frted effects, the back
being fitted and the front, displaying
a double double vest effect, lying in
graceful, undarted lines. A position
back is the feature of the coat, and
around the edges of the tails is fiat
pleating of silk in the exact tone Of the
velvet. Dull Etruscan gold braidings are
applied with just the right fnesse. The
sleeve is draped at the top, the fullness
held by band at the elbow, from which
point the velvet Hes in fat pleats to the
to the hand. The skirt is alternately
pleatsd and shirrred. and hangs from
the hips in straight, full folds 4 tiny

Perhaps one of the greatest exrava-
,anees of the season is the fad for black
matched pearls, and those women who
can are indulging their whims in this
matter to the utmost. The price is ex-
orbitant in all cases, and one society
woman owns a pair. each about the size
I Of i pea, worth S15, 200 The black pearl
at first sight looks almost as dark as
gpn metal, but at closer range reveals
all the colorings of the opal and white
pearl combined, and sheds almost as
much sparkle as a well-cut diamond.
Twelve thousand dollars is not large
price to pay for well-matched pair Of
the white pearls, and some. of the screw
earrings in the single pearls are as big
as i grape There are many pairs Of
diamond screw earrings worth $4,000,
and one eccentric women wears dia-
mond in one ear and a pearl in the other.
In the lower-prieed earrings an odd
fancy shows large pearl with a small
diamond set above it, giving the effect
of an acorn.
a few carved round corals Of perfect
coloring are being made up to wear with
the costume de style. No opals are, of
fered in earrings, and such gems as
emeralds, sapphires and rubies are made
sup to order only for wealthy women who
can afford 10 wear earrings to match
their frocks.
