FLOWERS SET OFF COSTUME

New Designs Are Novel and Beautiful —and Return to Old Style Will Be Welcomed. After refraining of late from wearing the buttonhole, the beauty and novelty of the new designs are tempting the devote# of pretty etceteras to reconsider her decision.

Upon an dress the large sinpie flower still maintains its ascendancy, and orchids vie with roses tor the first place in feminine favor. Yery bright pink and impossible blue everlasting flowers are a noticeable feature in some of the florists’ windows, but they are not to be worn. Their province is to add brightness to the house. Then are sent out in rustic basket! bunched with ribbonß of the same pattern as the receptacles that hold lilies of the valley or any other growing blossoms.
