Prills of Fashion.
White molr card cases are made up
with gold, set with Jewels.
Red nnd white calfskin Is used for the
cornels to desk tablets, for the stomp and
pen boxes, and for the covering to the
blotter.
Signet hat pins are useful for the Indi
vidual who likes to lie lalx-led. They are
made with heads not unlike the slKnet
rings, of gold, round or oval, but less heavy
than the rings as a rule.
A wrist bag which Is pretty for the wo
man who wears white furs or affects er
mine ns trimming, Is a bag of this fur
without tho black tips. The frame and
chain arc of silver, and the bug, a Una)
one. Is a tx-auty.
Really well-done plates among the Inex
pensive ones are the game plates with a
tingle animal on each. These have a high
glaze. There are six different designs to be
found, the chanticleer, peacock, swan,
pheasant, etc.
In the new American pottery there are
delightful things .in casseroles. These are
made of the reddish brown earthern ware,
glazed inside and rough out. They come In
different shapes, some with noses for
pouring and some without; some high and
some low. and Bomo with and some with
out handles.
Pretty and simple little rings are those
with the stones all around, narrow, and
formed by two narrow bunds of gold, be
tween which the stones are set with no
metal beneath, that the beauty of the
stones may appear. Diamonds, emeralds,
rubies, sapphires, all kinds of stones are
used in these rings.
Tho Japanese, who are always to the
fore, have added something to the woman'
bead collection. These are long and beau
tiful strings of amber beads, set at inter
vals with a bead of green Jade, and In
Home instances with a translucent red bead.
They are fastened at the back with a little
twisted ornament of cord.

leave, gold acorns are also seen, thesa
sometimes woven into chapleta for evening
wear or wreathing a hat. A gold acorn
ehaplet and a white tulle gown, cut ex
traordinarily low without Immodesty, was
recently worn with striking effect at the
opera. Another night the same dark beauty
wore a cloak so regal as almost to take
the breath away. Fashioned of the palest
corn-oolored silk, this long, magnificent
garment was covered with raised silk em
t r"ldorloa In the same color In love knot and
Illy design
All opera costuming that la, that of the
boxes partake of this magnificence, and
when Americans consider that Americans
are not born to noble trappings It is aston
ishing how many coronets are worn. Other
opera Jewelry la of corresponding state' 1
neaa, the great women of fashion wearing
diamond dog collars and looped necklace
of diamond and pearla that would truly
grace courts.
Iletween effective day dress and dreea
designed chiefly to create a magnificent
evening effect there are toilette sweeter
than all others put together. These are
the dainty gowns for elegant tndoor use,
made of airy textile and tn models almost
vtrginaily simple. Charactertatlo of the

and velvets which are Ideally charming.
Evening gown of net are more seen than
entire lace costumes, the skirts of such
often running to girlish ruchlngs above lace
frills. The girdling employed with such
toilettes, which have been ordered In great
numbers for Florida use, are dally Increas
ing in width. Itias silk or velvet scarfs in
the same shade, or In a contrasting tint,
are wound several time around the waist
to a height often of eight inches. The baby
bodices are gathered full, there is alwaya
a drooping collar of some sort and the
sleeves a.e as elaborate as the style of the
gown will permit.
Some of the gowns ordered for the south,
whose prototypes are frequently sen about
swagger hotel corridors, seem to the un
initiated almost patchy in the way that
different atuffs axe put together. A gown
of gray chiffon velvet has Insets of white
point d'esprtt, which is, In turn, ruched
with plain black net. And this charmer
ties at the throat with saffron colored buby
velvet
Lastly, deep yet soft colors tint many
splendid st:ks and velvets with which su
perb Vandyke lacea especially harmonize,
these often forming collar whose lower
line may reach below the elbows.
Coming to the gist of things, her la
pretty and serviceable for shirtwaists and
shirtwaist suits this coming season. It is
delightfully cool, stylish in effect, and
make up, for the women who like the
Russian crosa-atitch embroidery, excel
lently well, as the loosely woven thrc;u1a
make it easily worked. Fronts of skirts
and waists, collars and cuffs, and shoulder
pieces are done in thla embroidery.
