Dainty Handkerchiefs.

Some of the shops have been decorated with wares in all shades of purple. One very pretty window showed every accessory of the toilet that can be thought of, among them ostrich feather ruffles, bags, belts, handkerchiefs, boutonnieres and collars in all the fashionable tints of violet from bishop’s purple to the tenderest hue of the first spray of spring lilac blossoms. Lavender Is a shade that Is to be very fashionable, Indeed, this season, and the lavender handkerchiefs, with white broderie anglaise corners and edges are the acme of prettiness. Among the dainties of dress that have met with great approbation are the handkerchiefs made of silk and the tiny bandanna squares. In other fabrics the idea is carried out, and it is possible to buy the very prettiest of pretty handkerchiefs made of chiffon, some patterned and others plain. —New York Times.
