The Chinese are not inclined to hustle, espe-

The successor to the throne must indulge
in one hundred days Of "unrestrsined grief. =

must continue for another two years.

carried to the gate Of Heavenly Rest, and
there read to the assembled crowd When

coffin Is taken to the temporary palace on
the hill within the imperial enclosure ac-

great demand and exquisite collars OF
this type are being brought out In re-
Spouse to this demand. marvels OF deli
cate hand embroidery, lingerie and lace
with jabots and often cuffs TO match.
These fine collar and cuff sets are
costly. but pretty models are shown at
reasonable prices and many women are
busily esnbroidering collars for them
selves. Lingerie stocks have almost
taken the place Of the stiff linen collar
though the latter still has its adherents,
but women are making the mistake OF
wearing fine and elaborate stocks OF this
type with waists too severe to be in keep
ing with the collar. and the resulting
effects make one long for revival OF the
stiff linen collar. though II is neither 30
daintily feminine nor so becoming to the
average woman as the finer stock OF I'm
gerie and lace.
There are models in the stocks and
iabots or bows severe enough in spite OF
their fineness to consort well even with
the most plainly tailored Of shirt~aists'

Gloves vary but little from season to
season save in the detail of popular length,
and the makers efforts to launch fancy
effects usually meet with fiat failure.
The long sleeve Of fashion has brought
the short one button and two button
gloves back to prominence and these are
offered in everything from chamois, al
ways practical summer favorite, to the
finest and softest Of kid.
In novelties the most possible and at
tractive things are the white walking
gloves with a line of color introduced
into the stitching on their backs, ana
some of these in green and white, violet
and white, brown and white, &c, suggest
pleasing effects in combination with
toilets Of the same color scheme.
Other gloves have the wrists lined with
soft contrasting color. The elbow and
three-quarter length sleeves are not en-
tirely taboo and there is still a consider
able sale for long gloves, a sale which
will undoubtedly increase in volume as
the dog days approach, though for ordi-
nary purposes the long sleeve and its
short glove are the thing.
The vogue of the skirt rising above
the normal waist line to meet the blouse
