The news-democrat. (Providence, R.I.) 1906-1909, 1907-07-26

1t is IN Paris naturally that the fair are
most desirods OF being amused. Anything
new is hailed with delight. and that is
why when a lady appeared at tea
short time ago with a well-trained live
cat upon her shoulder she was received
with open arms by her hostess and follow
guests. She was robed in a long, close
to set of her gown to decided advantage.
A new novelty of the moment In the gay
capital Is the vaccination tea. Paris has
recently gone mad upon the subject OF
vaccination. the fair patients being said to
besiege the physicians house before he is
up In the mornings. and to crowd his con-
sutation rooms all doy long. So one en-
| terprisng hostess decided to give vac
cination tea. and 1t is needless to say that
1t was very popular.
The latest for the dressing table Is tor
toise shell ornaments instead OF silver. OF
course, the silver is being discarded slow
iy. owing to the high price of tortoise
| shell. Sometimes the pieces are ornament
ed nsilver and gold. and sometimes they
have tiny jewels set In them In platinum,
but the ornaments. which are in tho best
taste. are undoubtedly those which have
no other decoration than a monogram.
Just behind her dressing table milady
nowadays has a mirror composed Of four
sections, which may be folded one upon
the other. so that the mirror may be car,
ried in q suitcase. Three OF the sections
are In a row, the fourth being over the
middle one OF the other three, and bent at
a suitable angle. The mirror rests upon
a stand, and has the effect OF saving MI
lady all that endless labor with hand
glass. With this mirror she does not neec
to move from her seat. but by turning her
head only n slight distance can see any
side OF her hair that she desires.
Speaking OF umbrellas, milady now uses
the top of hers as a vanity box. The metal
handle opens, disclosing tiny mirror
and a powder pun.
Next to her fancy for jade. milady is
this season most keen about the tur-
quoise. She has II set In every conceiva-
BILE way, but mostly with diamonds. be-
cause the diamonds set of the blue stone
80 well. The turquoise Is said to bring
good luck. except when 1t turns green, and
In that case milady may be sure that her
lover has become false to her.
She Is Just as eager for antiques as
ever. but this year II is coral that she
wants. The red cingalese Is said to be
worth almost its weight In gold. She is
not so keen about the pink Italian coral.
but the garnet she Is on the still hunt Tor.
She also has fancy for those fascinat-
ing leather cases which hold your opera
glasses, your powder pun. tiny mirror
and a small purse for change
This season milady now has her mono
grained belt. buckle, veil bar and STOCK
pin all to match. Sometimes she gets SET
made to order, but more oren she Jus.

she has tired OF the necklace mania
now that everybody has taken It up. ana
has turned her tickle fancy once more 20
watches. Recently she has not cared
particularly about having the time always
with her, as II caught her fancy for the
time being to compel her escort TO pro-
duce his timepiece every five minutes OF
40. Her watch Is the very tiriest thai
can be obtained. and IL can BE or either
gold or silver plain or jeweled case the
nroper way to wear the watch this year
A. -tt,- have AZ SET Ia a bracelet which can
be either plain or jeweled. and worn at
the wrist with the short sleeve II Is very
fetching.
She is once more the victim Of the long,
sinuous snake bracelet. and also OF the
bracelet composed OF tiny stones, held to-
gether by gold links. Another quaint
bracelet novelty is. composed OF a double
row OF Indian cut garnets. set In dull sill
yer. Still another is an old-fashioned
cameo set on n gold hoop. In fact, the
bracelet fad Is quite the fad OF the hour.
and the more antique the bracelet Is the
