STATIONERY STYLES.
Monograms and Crests Have Been
Moved Over to Left-Hand Corner.

Written fer The Star.
aside from the fact that monograms on
all smart stationery are now placed exelu-
sively in the upper left-hand corner and
are growing larger each season. there is
little change in the spring stationery dis
play. Another point in regard to the mono
graus--they are not entwined In an illeg1bte
mass as they once were, but run down the
page slant-wise toward the center, in many
cases the last letter almost reaching the
middle of the sheet.
Crests continue to be placed on stationery
and are done in the original family colors,
many Of the dyes being most elaborate ana
effective Only the nouveau richie have the
entire coat of arms Of their (elieged} faml-
lies copied onto their stationery II Is an
destinations mark of poor taste say the
Gold and silver lettering seems to prevail
on white and dull gray tones OF paper, ana
In some instances the letters are set upon
dislxs or squares of pearl inlaid in the heavy
linen This is probably the newest fancy Of
the designer of novelties In this line, but II
is also a fad quite beyond the purses OF the
average women.
A pretty little sealing wax stamp is of
heavy silver. the handle of which Is
gracefully cut Venus. whose shapely feet
rest on the round plate which bears the
initial or monogram. These stamps also
come in oxidiZed and German silver anu
| bronze.
Mourning stationery Is more mouFnIul
| than ever and some imported French styles
consist of a white envelope heavily bor-
! dered in black and lined in black. The mon
| ogram appears in heavy black letters, and
| one pattern had the country home address,
| telephone and railroad station done in the
| same way.
| This is quite the fashion now among per
sons who have both a town and country
! home Fashionable women who spend the
| summer in England or elsewhere abroad
| are following the custom of having a thin
| quality of overseas paper stamped with
| their foreign address.
| A pretty little box of paper is shown in
| one of the stationers for young miss not
| yet ''out." 1t is of tiny size. and has her
| name In full done in white embossed letters
| across the top. The stationery itself is OF
| the white linen.
| Many of the new envelopes have lining
! of a. dark shade to tone in with the outside.
| For instance. a pearl gray outside will be
| lined with a deep slate gray a pale yellow
/ envelope will have an inside of dark orange.
| This is to obviate the necessity of covering
| the letters with an extra sheet of paper 10
| prevent the writing from being legible
| through the thin envelope. 1t is an old for
eign custom.
| Visiting cards are about the same they
| have been for the last year. though the old
| English lettering has come much into proml-
| hence.

Summer Needs.
Then to look further ahead than the
present moment. summer materials are ,,st
now extremely CHEAP, and the choicest
novelties IN wash textures are being shown
To dawdle over these comfortably while
making up gown is privilege TO those
who enjoy the occupation OF mere sewing
and who have none of the discomforts or
actual lnYalldism. There is no doubt but
that wash gowns In light colors will be
enormously worn this summer. and as hand
work is more than ever TO the fore the
dangerous sewing machine may in a great
measure be avoided. But for seams and long
hemmings the neat little hand machines
now turned out are excellent helpers. and
so trifiingiy simple is the mechanism of
the cheapest of these that they seem scarce

A bewildering gown combination which
threatens to have a vogue this summer Is
a melange of figured Valenciennes and
cluny lace. Some charming princess frocks
seen in these combined materials We're made
over colored slips of species of silk which
was as dull and soft as cotton. The gowns
were as simple as Infants robes. but
charming were they that the big prices
seemed quite eXcusable.
Scarcely a new evening gown is seen OF

AMETHYST SHADES.
a New Color Scheme Used in
Decorating.

Written for The Star.
Although greens and reds are the pretty
generally accepted colors in which the NV
ius rooms libraries. drawing rooms and
dens may be decorated with added dark or
delft blues for dining rooms, very pretty
combination of amethyst and silver is being
displayed in the windows of an importer
of choice furnishings for the home.
The room in question is done almost en-
tirsly in this scheme of coloring, the por-

on the mantel are i'll amethyst shades. the
portieres edged in a silver tassled fringe
An old hammered silver jardeniere, silver

and the com animation of colors is exquisite.
Another scheme for a living room is ma

odd combination but variation from the

MANY women are having their dining

and Burma In Brittany, widows caps
among the peasants are yellow.

Violet and White.

Another pretty parasol was Of palest vio-
let chiffon covered with white, upon which
were embroidered violets in careless profu-
sion. The effect was artistic, and at a
short distance the flowers seemed to have
tumbled onto the cover, so much in relief
were they done.
An especially beautiful design was of
duchess and point lace without lining.
1t was finished with a wide flounce of white
chiffon trimmed with double ruche of the
same. The directoire handle of ivory finish
has a smooth wide end and a simple band
OF gold. sufficiently wide for a monogram,
which Is quite correct, by the way about
ten inches from the top.

Of them come from Paris. Chiffon and
mousselne frills trim most of the lace COW
ers An Irish crochet lace was mounted on
a nowered chiffon lining on one parasol.
Italian lace made over white taffetas
formed the cover of another variety.
The handles of all the new parasols are
conspicuously long and to the inexperienced
would seem to make the accessory an utter
ly impossible one to pack In trunk. This
is not so. The long handles either unScrew
from an invisible Joining or fold up by
means of a tiny metal hinge, making the
parasol even easier TO pack than II was In
the days of medium handles. The handles
are deliberately carved and show designs
Stimulating anything from a mouse to a
peacock.
