OF course, the very best quality of
Shantung is the most desirable, but
the cheaper ones, so that they be not
depended upon for durability, may be
credited with some virtues OF the
very best there are many limitations
now on the market, but when you
can secure the genuine | advise you
TO do so, even should the model be
somewhat soiled, for it is amazing
how well the very coarse ribbed good
Shantung will clean. A great num-
Der of the finest opportunities include
this, a capital specimen being ivory
in tone, made in redingote fashion,
opening at the front with revers down
to the waist. to show shirt of tucked
chiffon. The skirt Is narrow enough
to look elegant and not sufficiently lin
ited to be absurd. The shoulders and
sleeves are cut in one in kimono fash
ion. The braiding extends round the
back and over the top, while SAKE blue
is used for the lining Of the revers
and of the cuffs. Completed by
hat with a crown of the light color,
and a monster bunch of oats and two
or three blue cornf1oTers at one side,
tied together with narrow black vel
vet band and bow. This achieves a
conspicuous success. On the whole,

the short-waisted bodice and kimono-
shaped sleeves an elaborate device

to make the old bead purses, and, like
them, opalescent, and the pattern OF
charm. These little beads are also
used in conventional designs, and
doubt not they will put in more fire.
Quent appearance in the autumn, but
at present they are just making sec

be accomplished by clever fingers I'M
I'll such time, of course, as the ma
chine steps in, and we can buy this
bead-trimming stitched by machine
and mounted on meta possibility
which will, no doubt, be ours In the
near future, II am right in my con-
lecture that opalescent beads are to
be amongst the next seasons most
welcomed novelties.
But amongst this seasons, which
we have by no means finished, let me
chronicle foulard, which In the bright
est cherry color asks and deserves
acceptance, yelled with black ninon;
and 1t is not an unusual circumstance
TO meet this in union with collarband
and sleeves of some other brightly-col-
ored contrasting satin. Either green
or blue being thus allied to a red and
white patterned foulard 1t is new
state of affairs quite welcome after
the monotonous tale of black which
nfess, perforce, has so sadly told dur
Rng the last two months.
As a reaction, doubtless, we may
also consider the brightly-colored
