LITTLE THINGS OF THE TOILET

,,,7r,ose are strings thickly with httlo ieaoeh
1e1lnts that are sewed inside the hem. The wlae
hand of cloth or silk. that has remained IN 1HVof
so long as a trimming for the bottom OF sklrs'
serves this purpose also. Between II and the ma
+eria1 Of the skirt is often placed layer Of thin
voollen stuff This weight causes skirt OF thin
material TO fall into lovely soft folds.
Young and pretty women here have adopted the
fad of wearing for couple OF hours day the
quaint little Dutch peasant caps of white or oack
lace They are entcing, with their ear haps
trimmed with great rosettes OF gayly colored RID
bons they serve well to keep the halr III plaoo

The latest petticoats made Of mousseline oe
sole frilled pleated and adorned with lace at the
hens The last word IN underwear is the chem1se-
pantalon Of fine batiste, handkerchief linen 1t
fits the hips to perfection by careful gorng' giving
annie space below, and is gathered into band
lust below the bend of the knee. The mousseline
petticoat Supplies the funess needed below The
newest corsets leave the waist quite untrammelled,
the bust in natural place but suppress the hips
into a straight line with the rest of the body.
With the long shirred transparent sleeves, with
lace frills fall the fingers, gloves worn
in the house Great attention is paid the selec-
ton Of rings Many women have adopted the
fashion of wearing only one each hand. Some
times the thumb, again the forefnger of
the left hand. On the little finger the right
hand a ring with immense colored stone is
worn.
For the last few years. In cold weather the
arms have been fashionably bare. Now all arms
are clothed, though transparent1y. It is to be
hoped that so sensible fashion will prevail
through the coming winter.
