have seen great many hats
trimmed with blackberry brambles this
summer. The homely little fruit has
suddenly leaped into favor with the
autocrats of the Rue de Ia Paix. An

Tulle rufiies OF gigantic proportions
have suddenly become favorites in the
Paris world OF fashion. I think Il was
Lucille who first started this idea: It
was certainly she wo made some of
these big pierrot ruffles for a Partisan
beauty whose photograph Is in every
window. 1t is difficult to decide whether
the tullo ruftie OF exaggerated proper
tons is or \ not a becoming item of
the feminine toilette. 1t makes con-
siderable demands on the taste of its
wearer, for unless accompanied by an
absolutely suitable hat It looks absurd.
on the other hand rufies of medium
size have tiresome way OF making
their owners look just the least bit
dowdy. II seems to he a case of exag-
geraton or OF renunciation any half

rufiles made OF shot tulle and also Of
black tulle lined with such colors as

seigneur. sc. None of the newest and
best rutiles are finished with bows or
strings. In fact no ribbons are used in
connection with them-just huge rufiie
of fine tulle which completely frames
the face and fastens invlsibly. Ruffles
of this order look very effective when
made OF black tulle and worn with an
all white dress or the reverse. n big
white ruitie with an all black costume.
The magple tints remain the vogue
In London, as in Paris, black and white
has been worn by all the leading mem
bers or the fashionable world on I'M
portant occasions. Perhaps IN London
the tendency Is to accentuate tho white
portion OF the scheme, while in Paris
the INCLINATION Is the other way. The
smartest Parislennes seem welded 20
black materials provided that these are
Of the most supple quality and almost
transparent.
Black Chantilly lace has become a
rage in certain circles, and so has black
chiffon incrusted with Chantilly. In
some cases these laces are mounted
over subtle colOrs, but for the most part
1t Is case OF black upon black, the
undcrdress being made OF some such
material as chiffon or tulle. At the
present day one never sees black lace
mounted directly over black satin or
silk; there Is always a cloud Of hlmy
stuff between.

OF colorlngs of high lustre and can easily

As centre for a snowy Hover u few
small beads. which are in reality pre-

knots OF rafiia are worked. In either
case long outline stitches indicate leaves

rafiia or in heavy worsted. Where the
design calls for smaller beads such as
would be needed in working currants,
cherries or other fruit, preserved and
decorated peas are used. These are
grouped in clusters and used in connec-
ton with embroidered stems and foliage.
Summer hat bands offer popular
form of fancy work along this line. The
beads are applied on coarse net banding

that when the band Is laid around the

Among the stories told by Lieuten
ant Colonel Newnham- Davis in his
new book, '"The Gourmet's Guide"
is one concerning the late duke Of
Cambridge. II is said that he. like
his father before han, had a liking
for pork, and at one time word went
round the British army that at in
spection lunches il was wise to give
his royal highness pork chops.
OF course, the British army over
did il, and the old duke had so many
pork chops put before him in the
course Of a year that at last their

likely to assist in the securing Of an
unfavorable report on a regiment
than was their absence.
