keep what she has she would be big winner Bulgarian
troops occupy Montenegro and nearly all Sera and

even onefourth Of the territory his armies have overun

When You Take Down the Pictures

GET Up and go.
AND THE place they leave
IS A bright. clear place.

But UNTIL It IS filled.
BY SOME new friend.
OR UNTIL they come back.
THEY LEAVE Us sad.

dear enough to wear against the
heart. Lovely are blue enamel lockets
trimmed with tiny diamonds and
pearls. Square lockets of platinum
framed in diamonds and hairlines of
black enamel are very smart and will
look well with summer frocks, de-
pending from narrow black, or black
and white ribbon.
Among the less expensive but very
wearable trinkets are hatpins with
jeweled crystal heads, or heads of
onyx tipped with diamonds, couture
pins and combs, bar pins, veil pins
and long arrow shaped pins tipped
with onyx and diamonds to thrust
through the coat collar Composition

specimens, appeal to all women save
the very, very few who can wear gen.

ten to fifty dollars the string, very
good earrings with soft rose tinted

Among trinket gifts may be listed
mesh bags with jewel-set frames, and
beaded bags of handsome character
A handsome bag pictured is of fine
cut steel beads with design in rhine
stones. The frame is gunmetal, the
lining of heavy, soft white satin. An

SNAPSHOTS OF SPRING

Silk petticoats are gay in color
they strike the dominant note in cos
tunes of rather sober hues. Soft silks
and jersey cloth are the favored ma
terials and the petticoat that rustles
is obsolete.
Corsets follow the natural lines of
the figure and are exceedingly supple,
with as few bones as possible. Low
busted models are preferred as giving
freedom and feXibility to the figure,
but every corset is accompanied by a
beautifully fitting brassiere which
confines superfiuous flesh into trim,
fiat lines.
Pocketbooks of leather daintily
shaped and lined are preferred to
handbags. Every woman these days
carries q knitting reticule and the
pocketbook may be slipped into this
when not carried over the hand by
it's strap-handle. There are large
leather knitting bags-service bags
they are called a smaller
money purse attached at one side.

cations of an ordinary journey. That
is, it must not be too elegant for train
and railroad station, yet must be ele-
CANT enough to have a sort of pres
ence when it appears amid the wed
ding guests gathered in the hall. So
many brides depart by automobile
these days that the going-away cos
tune is apt to be a dainty frock, well
protected by long%motor or travelling
coat. A tailored suit for travelling use
is somewhere among the luggage,
however, and will be donned after the
first lap of the wedding journey, for
the average brides first desire is to
be inconspicuous and unbridelike in
appearance among strangers and a
neat but not obvious tailleur of navy
serge or heather mixture in home
spun seems the most desirable choice
for an extended journey. Most of
these suits have plain, well cut skirts
and belted coats in semi-sport style;
or little jackets on the new eton lines,
| opening to show smart waistcoats. Not
a travelling costume but an attractive
! tailored costume for knockabout wear
| wherever the honeymoon is spent, is
shown in the frock of soft gray wool
jersey with belted jacket opening over
waistcoat of white pique. Wide pique
cuffs are attached to the sleeves, and
both cuffs and waistcoat are adjust
able and easily removable for launder-
ing The white oxford ties, gray silk
stockings with black clocks, and gray
straw hat trimmed with white wings
make this little gray costume quite
perfect.
Lingerie Dresses In Spring Trousseaux.

of fine black seal leather with a lining
of faille silk in charming blue shade.
The fittings are a sterling silver and
they are compactly arranged at the
back of the dressing-case leaving
space at the front for folded gar
ment or two of lingerie.
The English or French woman holds
well equipped dressing-case as a
first essential of her travelling outfit;
to the American girl such belonging

but could get along without quite COM
fortably, if she had to. The luxury is
| appreciated none the less, however,
on this account. To the maid is en-
trusted her mistress dressing bag, in

are carried in the dressing-bag it is
regarded as a solemn responsibility
by the maid to whom it is intrusted

possessor and it does seem a much
safer method of carrying them about
on trains and at hotels. incidentally,
a Jewel bag, chamois lined and clasped
with gold fastener, makes a very
attractive and not over-costly personal
gift for the bride-to-be.
If jewelry is to form the personal
gift, one may select from a vast store
of pretty and acceptable trinkets ac-
cording to what one wishes to pay
and the degree of intimacy between
ones self and the recipient of the gift.

carried as a fad, or merely as
trinket that gives smartness to the
costume, in later years it is of real,
practical value-when the clear glass
is replaced by reading or long-distance
lenses. A Iorgnette may swing on a
narrow monocle ribbon when it is
worn with costumes that demand sim
plicity in all accessories; and may be
accompanied by the handsome
jeweled chain on occasions when ele-
gance and formality are the desid-
eratum. The chain on the lorgnette
in the picture is of gunmetal links
with composition pearls at intervals.

more than will actually be needed.
Spring Bridal Gowns OF Satin And
Lace.
Newspaper accounts of recent fash
ionable weddings-so called-tell the
tale as to materials preferred now for
bridal costumes. The brides gown
one reads-was of white satin
trimmed with point lace and the ex-
quisite veil was of lace to match the
gown. Or: The duchesse and rose
point on the brides gown were worn
by her mother on her wedding day.
Or again: She wore satin and point
D'Alencon; or Satin and Venise lace
with pearls. So it goes; lace seems
to be the inevitable accompaniment
of the bridal costume just now and
if there be in the family some rare
bits of duchesse or rose point that
can be incorporated with the costume,
SO much the better. This effect is
! evident in the bridal gown pictured.
Motifs CT Mechlin lace have been set
into the skirt of the ivory satin gown,
and bands of the lace make a sort of
, bolero pattern on the bodice. The
gown is cut en- princesse, a panel of
white chiffon extending all the way
down the front. Over this panel the
bands of lace cross and extend around
| to the back, below the natural waist
line, giving beautiful, long princess
lines to the costume. Pearl beads,
sewed to lace bands and motifs in
crease the elegance of the gown which
is notable for its combined effect of
simplicity and impressive dignity. The
lace veil is gracefully arranged, its
handsome pattern showing across the
head, while clusters of orange bios
SONS confine the folds at either side.

Novel is the bodice, overlapping

The overlapping panels are at front
and back. Underneath is an ordinary
bodice over which is tied the pink
ribbon sash, the ribbon passing round
and round the figure with its end
knotted and allowed to fall toward
| the back at one hip. This effect is
noted also in a black chiffon dinner
i frock with sash of cerise ribbon, en-
broidered panels on the bodice com
ing over the sash and giving the low
waistline shown in the pictured frock
of wolfe and lace.
The Brides Honeymoon Sport Toys.

ton of white tub silk skirt and satin
sport shirt with knitted slipon of pale
yellow worsted and gray straw sailor
with matching yellow ribbon. The
sport shoes are white, with silk stock

AAE girl7about-to-be-mar for

slowed upon her in consideration of
her coming estate, it is surely the per-
sonal gifts of near and dear friends
and intimates that appeal most deep
~ to her heart. No magnificent set
of table silver or sparkling bit of cut
glass touches her heart like the little
offering, of greater or less intrinsic
value that represents the affection
and good wishes of one to whom she
means more than just a bride to whom
something or other must be sent be-
cause custom and tradition demand a
substantial gift at this time.
1t was the oId-fashioned notion to
make the personal gift something that
would last the brides lifetime, and
perhaps form an heirloom to be
passed on in time with other family
treasures. But fashion is such a
volatile creature these days that heir
looms have not the value they used
to possess. Half the time they are
laid away in attic chests because cur
rent styles admit no possibility of their
being worn Or used, and most people
like to give gifts that will be of i'm
mediate and constant practical value
Among these are leather belongings
now very popular as personal pres
ents for the bride-to-be. A substan-
tial part of the honeymoon happiness
is the perfectly appointed, exquisitely
dainty dressing-case in which the
bride may keep her little feminine be-
longings quite apart from the sterner
accessories of her new spouse. It is
all very fascinating to see his hair
brush and her hairbrush side by side
on the dresser, but there is a certain
satisfaction in having a place all her
own for personal toilet and vanity ar
ticles just the same. And fascinating
affairs indeed are the dressing-cases
specially designed for brides-to-be:
exquisite in their quality of leather
covering and silken lining, and per-
feet in their equipment of fittings.
About twenty-five dollars will buy a
good outfit of this sort, but one may
pay fifty, or hundred dollars or even
more according to the quality of the
! fittings. The dressing-case pictured is
