Perfumes and Pincushions to Match.

All the dainty toilet waters, creams
boxes matching in color scheme one:
boudoir decoration. This, naturally
is a Partisan fad, but the notion is
spreading to America and one may now
obtain various toilet preparations,
al boxed and bottled in delicate blue
and white, pink and white or pale yell
low and White-the colors most gener-
ally used for dresser scarf and pin
cushion. With these dainty colors
white brushes and other toilet nipple
ments are used; these, decorated with
the owners monogram, being consid-
cred smarter now than the massive sill

Evening Dress Accessories
Easy to Make.
Nothing prettier has been worn in
years than the long scarfs which are
twisted about the throat under the
evening wrap and thrown over the
shoulders at the theater or between
dances when dancing is INDUCED in.
The shops abound in the soft, graceful
satin scarfs edged with marabout and
these scarfs are very easy to make.
Very soft satin yard wide should be
selected and two yards will be needed
for the scarf All around the edge is
sewed a narrow strip of the fluffy raar-
about in it's natural color-a soft mouse
brown.
North Pole Pajamas.
The small boy may now frolic about
before bedtime in a delightful pair of
pajamas, decorated with polar bears
and Eskimo folk printed in color there
on Of course the most North Pole
looking suits of this kind will be in
pure white, but there are also pink and
blue pajamas with white bears and Es-
kimos which are calculated to please
the most fastidious small laddie. The
printed outing flannel comes by the
yard, 50 that both pajamas and warm
little bath robes in Eskimo style may
be made up for all the little folk at

An Aunt Tabitha Tea Cosy.
Nobody quite so fascinatingly quaint
ever presided over an afternoon tea
table as Aunt Tabitha. In her full,
gathered gray mohair frock, sheer,
snowy white apron, fichu and cap, she
stood among the blue china tea cups
on most delightful little tea table
drawn up before a friends cosy fire.
place the other afternoon. Her gath
cred skirt, however, was really a prac-
teal tea cosy, as the friend explained;
the upper portion of her figure being
simply a little kid dolly with chine
head. Much of the charm of this
quaint tea cosy was due to the old
fashioned gray mohair gown and the
exquisitely hemmed lawn cap, fichu
and apron.
Cashmere and Velvet.
FrOcks of soft cashmere are espe-
cially suited for young girls. The tex
ture of the material can be worked
into soft girlish lines, and the clinging
quality allows the slimness of youth

fullness be used Gowns of cashmere
for house wear have now received q
velvet touch, which enhances their
charm and gives new opportunity for
coloring the dresses. A band of darker
hued velvet is effective at the hem Of
q skirt; pipings of velvet are excellent
in emphasizing lines, and tiny velvet
bows are used to give contrast at the
neck. When planning your cashmere
house gown, do not forget to visit the
velvet counter.
Buttons and Pockets.

creep into the hearts and wardrohes
of many women is simple little one
piece dress, with buttons and pockets
generously decorating the front. It is
of dark blue serge and fastens down
the front with a double row Of b'ne

collar of embroidered linen gives C nm

many little things near at hand. y
black leather belt and a soft silk tie
complete the idea Just a little depar-
ture from the usual housewives frock
isn't it?
Mercury's Wings.
We have heard of stealing gods
thunder, but it has remained for &
French milliner to take from Mercury
a pair of graceful wings and place
them at the side of velvet hat. Heav!
gold or bronze is the favorite color

these wings appear. They are not larg,
and are placed with the tips pointing

trifle different from the feathery ones
and with the fieetness of the ancien
