is longer; but not when compared
with that of greyhound, stag g-hound

the wclfs foot is larger, yet it will
not rank in size with that of a St.

lifts his feet neatly without dragging

AVORS AND FLOWERS
FOR THE FOURTH

from cOlOred paper and pasted on
paper or satin are also attractive with
a flag decoration. either of one large
flag cr ef two flags crossed painted

An exceedingly attractive decoration
fer Fourth of July flag is made of
ribbon Ribbon work is very popular
this year on all articles of dress, and
a fan trimmed with ribbon work,
while calling fer quite lot OF work on
the part of the hostess, would at the
same time be a most acceptable SOU
venir
This refers, of course, to the rib
bon work of narrow ribbon, which
has almost the appearance of e'>
broidery, but it would be quite simple
and easy to buy little silk flag and
applique it to a fan if one did not
care to take the time for the more
elaborate work.
New favors are also shown in tor
toise shell hairpins and combs at
tached to which are stiff red, white
and blue bows, the idea being that
each woman guest shall put the pin
Or comb into her hair, so that she
will be to this extent in costume.
There are also sachets made of small
American flags, printed or embroid-
cred, or of ribbon in the three colors,
with the stars, made also of ribbon,
in one corner. White satin sachets
also show the bird CT liberty appli-
que and white satin boxes for candy
and ice cream have elaborate designs
of all manner of patriotic emblems
painted or stamped cn the cover.
One very neat menu card for Fourth
function has the word menu painted
across the top in small firecrackers
and in the national colcrs.
It is, perhaps, because so few
flowers of the same variety produce
themselves in both a desirable SHADE
of blue and of red that the sweet pea
is hailed with delight as Fcurth OF
