Because the edict has verify gone forth,
they must be taken from their places
of concealment.
Berlin wool work, roses of startling
dimensions and brilliant hues on
grounds of prune or emerald green are
once more to be in the limelight of
favor. Naive little hand screens with
trembling head fringes are all the
mode, and the most dingy lacquer tea
caddy, as long as it looks like 1S45, be-
comes the pride and joy of the con-
noisseur. Prize dieu chairs, chiefly re-
markabie for the fact that no one ever
prayed on them, are of the highest cur
rent interest. Mrs. Eugene de Saba
has one of those trophies of mid-Nic
torian skill and industry which is now
of great value. Its present covering is
a delicate pink brocade, but, restored
to it's primitive grandeur, it will reveal
d masterpiece of scarlet Berlin wool
| with an ornate floral design in glis-
| tening white glass beads. The scintil-
! lating, Iustrous chandelier, the. curly,

| of the early Victorian cult, and who

Miss Evelyn birmingham and Glidden

matter.
When the dance was in full swing
what is known in the east and south
as breaking in" was introduced with
fine effects. Washington being a state
of equal rights. the privilege was &C
corded to ladies only. Breaking in Is
simply claiming the remainder of a
dance at any stage by stepping up to

advantages and its disadvantages.

spouse than cruel laughter upon the faces
of her tried and truest of trends.
