 A new note of fashion is sounded in the belts and girdles which need no | longer harmonize with the gown, and i'll a return to the ones made -ut of ribbons; and, by the way, when spring l comes, by all the prophecies, we shall find ourselves swamped in ribbon and | flowers. Pongee ribbon is one of the 1 late ideas, and is shown not only in twlo-toned effects, but in a Roman stripe and a Danish blue which is to be one of the springs favorltes. For something really choice in the way of gift, one must anticipate the season, and herein the parasol pre- sents Itself for consideration in three decided novelties. The chief feature is that the long peonpadour handle and the ferrule have reversed their order, so that when the sunshade is closed it is to be carried by the ferrule end. The sticks are jointed and fold into mini mum space in suit case or trunk, Another new idea in the holiday un- brella shows the ribs and rod of gold plae ornamentde in relief design and even studded with jewels, The hand les in contrast are severely plain, | Hair ornaments and fans make dainty, appropriate gifts and exquisite examples If each are to be had at prices to suit. IA small wreath of l:l- les of the valley interwined with their leaves and seeds paris strung on wire | Is one of the most original conceits for the hair. It is worn directly on the top of the head even slightly over the ponpadour, and is especially ef- fectiye with the very low coiffu.e.
 Another idea is shown in two loops of wide velvet ribbon on each of which rests a wing of jewelled butterfly 1 ttllu 6llll dllOLllGl NOtlElDl6 OA d k|hl Glt not of gems. but of short, uneven loops of white velvet ribon set into 6 band of pearlA each loop upstanding and studded with dewdrops of tiny rhinestones,
 Barettes have grown less conspicious but noe the leses beautiful, tn grac- ful curved and scroll designs having taken the place of the straight bans of the original One of the latest sug- gestlcns is the miniature set in a net work of drought gold. If instead of wearing ones own or ones friend S face upon the back of the head, one prefer a bit of ivory painting. It is quite as much a proper thing. so it is encircled in a framework of jewels to suggest the miniature effect. In some of the most beautiful barettes huge cameos or mosaics, are substituted for the painted picture, which seems in better taste
 Undoubtdly the jewelry shop is the Mecca of perplexed holiday shoppers, for its glittering, dazzling cases yield something for everybody Veil pins are sure to appeal to the woman's heart and there are innumerable new designs, of which the arrow is the lat est. It is So arranged that the point appears to be trust through the yell and hat or hair, as the case may he, and yet it clasps and holds the veil securely In place
 The return of the velvet neck band has paved the way for many original devices of the jewellers art, among which the wee festoons of blossoms or leaves and the odd little scrolls in tinted gold are most prominent. Stick pins eeem to have risen to their own again this year, and are conspicious among jewelry novelties, Animals, birds, and almost every arti- cle, as well as anything emblematic, is reproduced in gold and jewels, Their great variety and the ract that a sug- gestive subject may be selected make them particularly in favor as Christ mas gifts
 As for fans It is difficult to choose from among the new designs, but if one has a real pencllant for real lace and a purse to supply the desire, the real lace fan mounted on ivory sticks will readily stand out conspicious among those of delicately embroider- ed silk with mountings of pearl, the frail Japanese designs with their dainty little ladies posed gracefully in softest coIorings, and the more ordi- nary but still very pretty spangled nets with their gilded sticks.
 An Empire fan with Brussels lace and rose pearl handles is an exduisite thing as are the jewelled fans to which yards of slender gold chain are attached.
 These gold chains are new; at least there are new ones which have pen- dants attachd, so that they are not only useful, but ornamental One chain of five golld links is two yards long, and has a necklace attachment, which Is merely a fad, as, of course, a necklace and a fan chain may be more independent of each other, but the main point is that fan chains are to be worn, not merely swung in the hand as of yore-C.
