Many elaborate blouses show the
mandarin effect in sleeve or the So
called jumper body with long armholes
over an attached section of embroider-
ed null and lace insertions, and very
pretty is this effect, especially on very
! slender woman. The plump one will
have to console herself with the salts
faction of her own curves instead OF
the graceful folds and lines of the lat
est thing in Partisan blouses, for they
can make a well-developed figure look
too full for grace, and such had better
invest in the simpler shaped blouses
that have been so long the mode and
viii always be. In many of the new
handmade Partisan blouses the valen-

IHN HE evil of excessive tea drink

the fresh infusion" The theme and
other desirable constituents are ex-
tracted within a few minutes, and the
ignorant belief that it takes long steep

In China the natives, who drink tea
all day long, use the mandarin tea,
which looks somewhat like a sheaf OF
wheat, dipping it into boiling water and
allowing it to remain until the latter
is slightly discolored; in Japan. where
also 1t is drunk all day long, it is new
err made as strong as it is in this coun-
try; In Russia, a great tea-drinking
country, the leaves are stepped for on
ly four or five minutes, and then the
liquor is poured off into another pot;

A MONG the newest flowers in Paris
"A are the maybe roses. These are
usually huge roses of white silk gauze,
but having their outer petals of black
velvet, and the foliage also the black

with these, and the whole yelled with

extremely smart.

convolvuli, or morning glories. and
white fruit also play an important part
in Partisan headgear.
Nutmeg straw is another Partisan
fancy of the moment, and is made by
weaving pure white and bright fawn-

only brighter in tone.
In feathers there are many combina-
tons, but less than ever osprey. Emu.
feathers and limitations bird of para
disc plumes, guinea hen and coque are
much seen in Paris.
In these days all feathers are copied
in silk by clever French fingers, and
no one can tell the difference. Many
of the new oddly curved but altogether
perfectly natural-looking feathers OF
the day are made Of silk, and very
pretty they are too.
