Sachets are now given as bridge
prizes, so that the hostess who posses
ses more of the virtue of hospitality
than money may entertain correctly if
only she has large number of fresh
looking silk pieces at hand. Such lit
tie bags are of all sizes, as they are
used to drop among the handker-
chiefs. the neckwear. the gloves and
the lingerie. They are mounted over
little fine white linen sacks which
hold the powder, and their ends NAV
be fringed and tied together with
baby ribbon. or they may be faced or
shirred into a sort of rose effect.

HOUSE DRAPERIEs ARE BRIGHT
extravaganza in Color a Marked Fea-

The woman who loves beautiful col.

the shops to see the new things for
household decorations.
The extravagances Of color in fabric
in the new costumes for women are
not only elualed but surpassed In
those for house draperies Dozens of
new things have been brought out,
and. best of all. they are offered at
small prices.
In the japanese stuffs there is the
widest profusion of stamped designs,
of embroidery, and of bullion work;
some are very expensive and are in
tended only for handsome rooms.
Others are at small cost, and would
delight the heart of the artistic wom-
an. For less than 50 cents yard
there are extra wide japanese drape-
ries of printed crepe in pale greens
with family colored japanese lanterns
swinging down the outside edges as
a border.
There are white and violet crepes
with wonderful designs in wistaria
floating all over the surface
These could be used as silk curtains
for any room except formal parlor or

SIX CENTURY OLD LANDMARK

London.-If the plans of the presen,

don will soon lose another of her old
landmarks. Nowadays the news that
this old gray city has lost another
landmark" is so frequently heard that
it is wonder there are any links with
past centuries left. Changes are not
what an American would call unduly
rapid in this city, but those picturesque
old places associated with even SO re.
cent a celebrity as Dickens, have now
almost wholly given way to the march
of the builder.
Clifford's inn is situated in the heart
of Fleet street and in the part of Lon.
don known as "Johnson's." Within
