SHOWS SOME NOVEL IDEAS

Handkerchiefs for This Season Ara Dainty, afnp Many Original Dosigns Are Seen. I " All is atftir in the handkerchief market New samples are being received, lines for roadmen arranged and plans completed for the coming season. As usual, absolute novel ideas are few and far between, but the desired element of novelty is found in new and clever interpretations of old motifs. The one corner idea- continues to hold the center of attraction. The features of this season's productions are daintiness of the designs and their careful arrangement so as to extend up into the body of the handkerchief, instead of spreading out at each side, as in former seasons. One-sided designs are again in evidence, and yrill find favor by adding the spice of variety. The Longfellow initial wpn such widespread favor last season that its position in this season’s lines is practically secure. Many new Lonfellow designs are shown surrounded by elaborate decorations, but the simpler, daintier effects will have first place in popular esteem. The oriental initials which made their appearance last sparing are again featured, and as the oriental influence is pronounced ‘in women’s wear they Should find even greater favor than ever before. The usual big movement in simple initial handkerchiefs, both script and blocked, is expected. The dainty undecorated letters are indicated for a slight preference over Jhe decorated ones. Among the daintiest initialed numbers are those finished with a tiny Armenian lace edge.—Dry Goods Eco nomist.
