ARTISTIC POSSIBILITIES
dangerous eyed senoritas evidently knew
becoming adjunct when they adopted the lace
scarf for head and shoulder drapery.
At the opera, theatres and balls one sees ex
quiste long scarfs of laces and silks coquettishly
draped over the coiffure or employed distinctly
as shoulder drapery. Inc more expensive ones
are wide and amply long. Possibly the most pic
turesque and surely the most novel are the hand
wrought Tunisian scarfs fashioned of spun silk
and fine linen interwoven with gold and silver in
odd and fascinating designs. These range in price
from $40 to $25 and $5O They are mostly seen
in white and black
All sorts of long lace scarfs are fashionable,
especially to be worn about the shoulders with
decollete gowns in place of lace jacket for din
ner or bridge. A beautifully patterned lace scarf
is shown among the sketches Scarfs are also Of
chiffon and silken crepes delicately patterned
with softly tinted aorals.
A FRENCHY CAPRICE FOR CHATELAINES,
Flowered ribbons are having great vogue for
girdles with scarf ends, being especially effective
on white or pale tinted frocks. The one illus.

of narrow black velvet ribbon around the jeweled
buttons. Ribbon scarfs, when quite long are
used as Empire sashes

gazed enviously at the radiant woman across the

Now, not every woman would have revealed

But the elder woman had generous heart and
instinctively sympathized with the pleading lit
