Andrews knew what was said, but

Charming Accessories.

In many instances II is the little things
that count for more than those OF larger
proportion. and women have long since
realized the fact, which accounts for the
many Furnishes and furbelows which they
affect. A dainty dash here or a daring
dash there will frequently make an 9TH

witching.
Corsagc and mum ornaments are the
popular accessories of the season. and
fashion permits an almost unlimited
choice in these matters.
One Of fashions freaks is the use of
fruits and vegetables for corsage orna-
ments. Holly berries are also seen and
are much prettier.
The new corsage bouquet is compact
bunch of red berries.
The corsage flower should he large; IL
may he rose. the poinsettia or the bril-
liant poppy. Most of these large flowers
are made of velvet. They match some
brilliant evening dress. but as a rule thy

Velvet ribbon roses are also seen at the

Among the new ideas in neckwear are

used in the collar portion, and in some
