semblance to the thick and bulky fabric that we have known under this name. The more luxurious ones are lined with a good quality of China silk, and the rib- bon border and girdle correspond in tone with the lining. Pockets are prominent at convenient points, and hood Is the usual finish.
 All of the old designs in the table china are being resurrected, and the Cauldon factories in Central England are putting out complete sets in the old onion blue patterns that were popular a century or so ago. There Is quite fad for these In some directions, and quaint, squat tea pots, with sugar-bowl and cream ewer to match, come at quite high price in swell china shops. Dinner sets complete, are listed at some S200 the set, and other pieces are In accordance with this price.
 Gold-engrayed Venetian glass Is taking the place of cut glass in many directions. The Venetian glass Is far more deco rative and really richer in effect than the average cut glass, and although the cost of each is pretty nearly the same, the fact that the gOld-engraved glass Is not by any means so heavy to handle or so hard to take care of recommends 1t to many housekeepers to whom time and trouble In the care of table appointments Is n matter of moment Carafes are dis played in a charming variety of shapes, and water, lemonade and claret pitchers are equally novel and different. Table glasses, too, are original in shape and design, and the small appointments nappies olive dishes, sherbet glasses and such-are strikingly different from what Is offered In other lines.

the most modish of trimming effects, and these are of satin weave with gold or sil- yer, occasionally, perhaps, glint or two of copper fnterwoven In the pattern All sorts of uses are made of these, and in- stances are not lacking where the clever tailor has wrought patterns in those fairy like braids upon broader braids for back ground Assuredly, this seems like paint ing the lily when one considers the elabo rate character of many of the trimming braids of today, but there is evidently no scheme of adornment too extravagant for present use where wrap of dressy char acter Is concerned.
 And since we are on the subject of sepa- rate wraps word or two anent the even ing coat will not be amlss. Several of the youthful members of society are birding themselves muchly upon the fact that they are fashioning their own evening wraps this year, and take immense satisfaction in the Idea that each one has a unique pattern, a coat that will not be copied except by someone who is able and what is more, willing, to pay a long price, in- deed. for the privilege.
 Those exquisite garments are originally of one-seam double-width crepe de chine. The design Is cut out in the crepe; then either the pattern is traced or stamped on the material and the work is wrought after the Chinese method, with two needles and two thimbles em- ployed in It's working. The crepe must be stretched in large frame to facilitate working, and all of the best Chinese de- signs are faithfully copied and wrought with that same infinite care and patience that characterizes the Chinese work.
 The mandarin's coat is the favored pat tern, but there are many others that savor less of celestial designs and are fully as effective. The garment is lined throughout with a quilted and padded silk of delicate tint to contrast with the crepe, and about as often as not there Is a Capuchin hood added-this to coats of occidental rather than oriental design --ruched and rufied with ribbons and finished with either marabout or swans down around the edge, where 1t comes in contact with the face when the hood is pulled on over the head, an effect that Is more than fattering, indeed. Those short. little. loose coats that are intended to come only to the curve of the hips are here in a novel guse. The latest importations show them in chasu- ble effect-strange what an influence ec- clesiastical designs are coming to have in secular fashions.-the fronts and back caught together under the arms by con meeting straps of ribbon or braid, and the neck cut down in a deep V, filled in with fancy vest effect, and as often as not finished with a high collar that is a veritable copy of those that appeared on the historic Napoleon military uni- forms.
 Half sleeves appear on all of those late importations. and there is no doubt but that their use is to be limited to restaurant and theater wear for the demi- season only.

things for her wee folk can indulge to her hearts content. Sashes, shoulder knots, ribbon bows for the tiny shoes Just after the fashion of grownups-and all sorts of smart nxings and contrivances for the bassinette and the baby carriage alike will give due opportunity for a dis- play of taste In this direction.
 The bassinette may be of willow or rat tan, though there are many instances where clothes basket is trimmed up so cleverly for q bassinette that the unin- itiated could never discover the differ ence. The little mattress Is laid in the bottom and a waterproof sheeting-one of the kind that has absolutely no rubber whatsoever in It's construction-laid over 1t. The trimming or valance Is usually of either pale blue or pink china silk or sateen, tackled to the inside of the basket with long stitches and over this the ruf1ied valance of white net. point d'es- prit, embroidery, lace, or what not is laid, safety pins or the same long stitch holding this. The handles of the bas- sinette are twisted with a broad sash rib bon that ties in a big, splashing bow. and the little coverlet is oftentimes of China silk to match the coioring of the lining. frilled with fancy ribbon and having a big bow in one corner.
 When the bassinette is made with hood to 1t then this is trimmed to match the rest The same ribbon-run ruf1es of net are employed, and the same trim ming bows make their appearance here likewise.
 For outside use ths baby carriage cover is now fashioned of all sorts of material, but a ribbon binding and ribbon bows are sufficiently prominent to attract consid- erable attention.

All sorts of pretty things are planned In the baby outfit of today; and the way in which common sense. science-in the shape of hygienic laws and applications and Dame Fashion have joined hands to administer to the comfort of their majes- ties, the babies, Is one of the most inter esting themes of the times.
 It Is quite the fashion nowadays to be hygienic. The laws of health are para mount So Dame Fashion, taking the hint. has pinned her faith to all things hygienic for the wee folks; and whatever Is in accordance with the laws of health is likewise in good standing so far as fashion is concerned.
 Not only must all of baby's clothes be made after patterns and materials ap- proved by physicians who have made an especial study of the subject, but all of the things that contribute to his comfort and welfare, and even to his amusement, must conform to those same lays of hy- giene.
 Everything about the baby must be

washable, and not only washable, but they must withstand the application of boiling water for an appreciable length of time, that the entire absence of germs and q sure sterility is ensured.
 Babys washstand washbowl 1.-the later ones are made In two compartments for two different waters-wash cloths, sponges and the like are all to be treated to periodical cleansings with soap and water and stiff brush, some antiseptic solution having been dissolved in the water previous to scrubblng.
 But even though all of these articles of daily use are made to be what physi- clans term surgically clean-that Is, with as complete an asepsi as possible-there is simply no limit to the dainty effects that are carried out in those things that are intended to visit the dry or naphtha cleanser's establishments at close inter vals.

When one sees them through q magnifylng glass the fact is revealed that the border Is really a chain of letters, some four of them, betraylng the news that they are made to special order. and the owners initials cleverly interwoven in quaint let ters make the encasing border. A de- lightful original, if costly, idea, truly!

Ell gree silver Is one of the chief favortes, although hammered copper Is pressing close for first honors. One jeweer in New York who makes a speciality of what he terms individual jewery is showing samples of button that are enough to make even the greatest Philis- tine of them all enthusiastic.
 One set Is from the Rookwood pottery and displays the familiar underglaze dec oration In the characteristic tints of brown. The design Is tiny butterfly with wings outspreao, and this occupies the greater part of the button, being

Items of Inter

There is new linen shown in some Importing shops which Is chemically treated so that it Is heatproof. So far only dish mats are displayed in this-oval, square, octagonal and other shapes-and finished merely with a handwrought seal loped and buttonholed edge For use on polished table when one dispenses with a tablecloth they will be found most advantageous, taking the place of the usual plate dolly and preserving the pol ished surface from being marked and marred with hot plates and dishes. The price of these at present is somewhat high but the importers hint that when the demand warrants importing in quan- tlty the price will doubtless drop tri6e.
 There are some exquisite lounging robes, made for both sexes. in a sheer end exquisitely lightweight eiderdown, that seems to bear little, if any, re-

the feet are considered the correct thing. The boa shapes itself naturally and grace fully around the shoulders in wear. The finish Is usually tall" shaped piece re- sembllng fur tails in outline. and applied to the end of each strand. White. pearl and smoke gray, all of the modish blues and plnks. with few greens and browns, are popular, and the violet, lilac and dahlia tones are among the best effects for the white-haired woman. Those charming pieces are not by any means cheap, but then what really fashionable effects ever are?
 Marabout and ostrich and marabout and coq are well combined, while mar about alone is finding new applications daily. For millinery effects, for coifrure dressings for evening and formal occa- sions, for edging and trimming evening wraps, and for making the most charming of fans marabout is In the highest es- teem. It really ranks next to the huffy ostrich plume in fashionable favor, and is rapidly becoming almost, if not quite, as expensive.
 Sprays of tiny little ribbon roses, the petals shaped by knotting the ribbon, are shown with embroidered leaves and stems en applique. As berthe trimming edg-
 
 heading, or for the thousand and one uses that will immediately suggest them selves to clever couturiere, there is nothing so glrlishly dainty as these same little ribbea effects. Forget-me- -nots nas- turtlums, chrysanthemums and tiny little heartsease pansies in the natural blue tints are all displayed. and Haunting pop pies In scarlet, pink and yellow are fully as attractive.
 Embroidered braids are among the most novel of trimming effects. All sorts and schemes of embroidery are employed. One makes use of the letters of the Chinese alphabet done in dull blues. plnks, vio- lets and edged with contrasting color, couched at the edge with a solid bullion | gold thread Others display flower pat terms with the little blossoms and leaves | in natural design; and a favorite scheme has the vermicelli braiding in dull gold. | soutache done on a broad braid for q | background. These are used to trim all sorts of gowns, but are especially cf- cloth The braid may be either black or tinted, to match the material that 1t adorns and yards and yards of 1t are re- qured to produce the desired effect. 4
 Tags are back In fashion again. In- stead of broad trimming braids being neatly turned in at the end they are now left to Haunt long and loose, and the ends are caught into deep metal tag which not only prevents their fraying. but | likewise makes for the smartest of ap- pearances. Ribbons, both silk and velvet, are treated after the same device, and loops and ends are multiplied so that the maximum of these charming but frivo- ! lous little things may be employed.

For Baby's Toilet.

Rattan washstand, with enameled iron bowl, water heater and pitcher, all of the most approved sanitary make, is de- picted on the right. The rattan is enameled. so that 1t may be washed of in boiling water without injuring the finish The toilet basket is mounted upon a willow tripod of convenient height, so that all of the nec- essary articles are within easy reach of the hand while dressing the baby. While the washstand Is plain almost to baroness. the toilet stand Is liberally trimmed with splashing ribbon bows, the deep part be- ing lined with China silk, having lace edge and beading through which ribbons are run, so that the lining may be drawn up into the form of a bag over the con tents of the basket when desired.

 But so far as regards the few clothes, the few are as dainty as possible, and the stock of them is large. Soft Persian lawn and the sheerest and finest of French nalnsook fashion the frocks and petti- coats. The little undershirt Is of the finest cashmere, woven without any hard or harsh seams, so that the delicate lit- tie flesh is not creased or ridged. The socks and bootees or boots, are likewise of the finest and softest and itny super fuous weight is religiously eliminated from the baby wardrobe. Everything Is as light as possible, and fastenings are few and simple.
