Among novelties sold at trihng cost are some
of paper, heart-shaped, and decorated in charac
teristic Dutch and quaint little figures at
tractvely colored. Alpine scenes, too, come
in for attention, but they are not as new as
the OUGHT designs. More artistic and beautifully
colored are boxes of white paper with kid fin
ish on which appear copies from Vatican,
dainty women exqusitey painted in soft colors
Quite a pleasing variety of studies is shown
among these designs.
Gilt papers decorated with flowers hearts
and Cupids, while not new, are pleasing to the
eye. Circular boxes with heart on top, thrust
through with gilt arrow, are among the pref
test of plain bon bon boxes, except, perhaps,
those of plain red pink satin.
Boxes of MORE paper patterned with flowers
are sold for 81. A box of this description would
make a very acceptable prize for contest
ing game Other boxes of fine MORE paper, ir-
regular in shape and exquisitely decorated with
fanciful floral designs. are also available.
New ideas this season are heart-shaped boxes
decorated with different types of the Gibson
girl done in black ink. The largest size, ten

especially appropriate. Canded cherries and
