novel remembrances for birthdays and
other festive occasions has invented
what SIZE calls the autograph hand
kerchief," on a plan somewhat like
that Of the autograph cushion so popu-

pretext If It cannot be found on a noto
OF letter.

Of repute, on describing in her mem

her admiration for the striking appear

wheat ears whose soft. lustrous rays
so splendidly heightened the dazzling

director of fine arts in Paris and re-

ornament and dress, declared in dis

accountable for a dull and most unin-
