BUTTONS AND BAUBLES.
The buttons, oranments and baubles
in general enjoy no less a measure of
consideration than the actual
terials of gowns themselves. The pret
tiest things are the little crystals or
paste balls which form the tassels
to the taffetas or ribbon knots or bows
which embellish our frocks. Narrow
velvet ribbon is run through quite
half a dozen or so of tiny paste
buckles without any reason except in
the matter of ornament; and as near
ly everything terminates in a tassel
all manner of charming methods are
employed in their construction. The
fuchsia and flower tassels are still
popular, and on the smartest and
newest pelerines the ends are gath-
ered into the similitude of tassels,
and the same idea is carried out in
the millinery. Everything is knotted,
too, the most fashionable

the throat and twice knotted in front

the tie is brought from either

WOMAN'S WORK
Paris has another exposition

ably from the last one, as it is to con

idea is to show the achievements and
progress of women in the various
phases of life. One section will be do

HOT WEATHER HINTS
A very safe rule tur the motl

substituting the same amount

on damp and close days, even when
the thermometer does not register ex

sary to carry out this plan for several
days, and to resume the full-strength
feedings only when the weather be

been a rule in our hospital diet-kitch-

and it has been found to work ex

Again, the fact is very often over

infants should have water to

MILLINERY ECCENTRICITIES.

work. But it is not the queer, un
astural colorings of the flowers and
fruits that surprise one so much as
the eccentricity of some of the garni
lures considered the “correct thing”
on hats. We have grown accustomed
to brown roses, blue chrysanthemums
and green popples; to raspberries,
blackberries, gooseberries and cher
ries in all stages of their ripening, to
grapes and currants and even raisins
Now come lemons. Think of a toque
with a top covered with foliage from
which protrude lemons——undersized
of course, but still lemons-—in all
stages of development, from the fruit
that rivals in tint the famous peach
of emerald hue of Johnny Jones and
his sister Bue, to small spheres of
golden maturity.
Hats trimmed with moss are set
forth among the novelties. The moss
is used in various ways, from a brim
trimming to entire toques. Birch
bark straw hats and those of gray
lichen are not exactly new, but a
cluster of pinky gray toadstools grow.

The skirts that have the long train
effect are in many cases made with
the centre of the back in a broad
box plait. This plait is crossed and
recrossed by narrow frillings of lace,
mousseline, or the material itself.
The emerald matrix is one of the
fashionable stones for belt buckles,
pins and brooches, and for those who
have treasured cameos for years and
years, it is encouraging to know that
they are in favor again. The large
cameo heads are set in belt clasps,
with oxidized silver or dull, finished
gold, while the smaller ones appear
in brooches.
New lace effects in the silk and lisle
thread gloves for summer are con
stantly seen. White silk gloves hav-
ing the fingers and back of the hand,
as well as the wrist, entirely in an
open work design, are novel and pret
ty. In other and more serviceable
gloves the open work extends to the
fingers, the latter and the palm be

are very familiar to every one.

cream batiste. The embroidery forms
open-worked stars, set at rather wide
