BY THE SHOPPER.

In a large department store in Sew
enth street. near New York avenue,
saw some exceptionally attractive
scarfs and squares made of damask and
plain linen. Some Of these scarfs were
hemstitched, and had large flower de-
signed borders at either end, and others
had linen fringe around the edges.
There were a few large lunch cloths a
yard square with borders or pretty
flowers and conventional designs. which
would be a great saving on the regu-
lar table cloths. These pieces OF linen
were all marked 25 cents apiece.
In the same store 1 saw some very
desirable skirts and gowns made Of out
ing flannel. The material was a good.
soft quality, and came in pink. blue,
and white. with pink or blue stripes.
The skirts were sc9lloped around the
edge of the ruffie and button-holed with
pink and blue silk, and a few were cn,-
delicate shades % Of silk. H'sr The gowns gown mad had
high neck and long sleeves, and should
be very necessary part Of the winter
outfit in undergarments. The price of
each garment was 4S cents.
In a little store in F street I saw a
semi-fancy white wnist, with high collar
edged with lace, and the front embroid-
cred In a neat floral pattern, with a
pleated side ruff1e on the left 3ide The
quality of the material was extremely
fine and thin. The waist was marked
9o cents.
I saw a set of oxidized brass book
ends this morning in a department store
in street near Eleventh which would
add to the usefulness of library cable
or the top of desk. The ends were
decorated with floral conventional de-
signs and gave distinctly artistic touch
to these book holders. The price was
rack, SIPS.
In another part Of this store I saw
some baskets made Of dried lichen and
twigs woven together. These baskets
