Jeweled Neck Adornments.

One of the dainty styles of jeweled
neck ornaments consists of separate
motifs wrought exquisitely in yellow
gold and in the lightest. most delicate
manner, says a writer in Vogue.
These motifs are arranged so as to
be sewed on to neckbands of lace or
finely tucked nets, or mousselines.
They are especially fit for youthful
adornments. One may give a special
order for any particular design or
present an original one to be carried
out. Flowers are the most frequent
designs used

At a mems cafe one night a young
Americana barber-fell in with an
Englishman. The latter was berating
the Yankees for doing all manner Of
business in their shops and not follow
ing the better English plan of sticking
to one branch.
The next day he staggered into the
barber shop to be shaved The barber
gave his face an extra good soaping
and left him, at the same time seating
himself to read.
The Englishman kept quiet for a
few minutes, when, seeing his attend

barber. I'VE only lather here"

Semidress Dresses.

Every business woman knows the
necessity for the dress which she
must wear to the office at times when
going directly from the place of bust
ness to an entertainment, dinner or
some place Of amusement. There
must be something which strikes the
happy medium between the simple
office dress and the elaborate dressv
frock. good pattern is one of the
one-piece dresses, either a princess
dress or one with jumper waist and
a dainty white waist beneath. The
plain colored dress, neatly trimmed
with velvet and lace, is always stylish
and looks dainty. A dress of this kind
necessarily demands a separate wrap
and nothing is more suitable than a
black marchioness which may be said
to possess sterling qualities for the
business woman, since it will serve for
many purposes. A picture hat may be
worn. neat gloves, and as she leaves the
office If she desires to wear flowers
she can stop at some florists and get
the desired ornament.
