colonial pieces OF good design which
are priced at reasonable figures. ac-
oording to the way things antiquarian
are valued. A mahogany davenport

be used until a handsomer covering
is desired, costs $45, while another OF
greater age, but not in as good con-

A unique picture, which can be

It depicts the head of a very pretty
girl and that of a handsome man, one

change a kiss Hung either straight
or upside down, it shows the same
sentimental intent, but gives one
weird impression. as the girls head
hangs down, apparently suspended by
her auburn tresses. The pose IS a
new one. and the picture has been
much admired by those who like the
unconventional in art. as well as in

The Shoulder Scarf.

Scarfs are more than ever IN favor. One
cannot count the many novelties of this
charming fashion that are constantly ap-
pearing
But an actual triumph is attained IN 4
scarf of black satin lined with soft white
satin. Each end is gathered and finished
with long black tassels OF silk.
Another is made OF white Chantilly be-
tween two bands of dark satin. The
whole is lined with black mousseline de
sole. Sca-fs Of black lace with the de-
signs worked in gold thread are shown
and are most effective.
A rather amusing idea is seen IN the
scarf-shawl. II is made Of mOuSselins
with designs in imitation OF the old In
dian cashmere. 1t Is worn somewhat as
a scarf, and somewhat like the real
shawl
A very new and elegant scarf IS Of
coarse linen lace bordered with maribou.
1t is very rich. but not very practical
One must not neglect to speak Of the
long three pointed scarfs. A specially at
tractive one is OF silk covered with pail
lette. They take the place OF a very light
wrap and are most graceful. They are
often made of bordered chiffon Of a
rather heavy quality.
