Next to the bead bag comes the
reticule, charming article, provided
with ample room for all Of ones lit

so happens, however, that fashion
likes to paint the lily, as it were, and
to further embellish these ribbons and
brocades with bead work. A pattern
is selected showing, perhaps, a richly
colored rose or cluster of flowers on
plain background, and then with her
nimble fingers the young woman sets
to work to embroider the flowers in
beads. The ribbon coloring Of this
decoration is followed absolutely. A
cluster Of flowers Of average size or
one large flower looks much better
than tiny flowers when treated in this
way. A golden yellow rose shading
to reddish brown on cream back
ground is very dainty when worked
out in gold and reddish brown beads.

KISSING DAYS.
Observance of Ancient Custom by an
English Fishing Town.

Observance of Ancient Custom by an
English Fishing Town.
Yesterday, says late issue of the
London Evening Standard, was kiss
ing day" at Hungerford, a quiet COM
munity on the western borders of
Berkshire, renowned for it's trout fish
cry and it's faithful adherence to the
ancient customs of Hocktide, which
have been observed since the days Of
John Gaunt, duke of Lancaster, who
granted the rights and privileges to
the commoners.
At daybreak the town crier, arrayed
in new livery, took his stand on the
town hall balcony and blew his lusty
blasts on the historic horn, which is
the symbol of Hungerfordian liberty.
Then the "tuttimen" went forth bear
ing slaves garlanded with flowers and
made perambulation of the town,
kissing every lady whom they met and
demanding penny from every male
householder.
The sum thus obtained served to
purchase oranges for scrambling
among the crowd Of children who fol
lowed in their footsteps. The ladies
took, the kissing in good part. and the
males paid up smilingly.
Meanwhile the Hocktide jury was
transacting more serious business in
the town hall, electing constable,
who is both coroner and mayor,
also appointing keepers Of the keys
of the common Golfer, bailiff. por-
treeve and other ancient officers
whose duties are rather obscure.
