M. K'ice talked delightfully of his 

 .aims ill novelties, of his trip abroad and 

 of his work with our floral artists, suy- 

 yesting many of the thoughts expressed 

 while describing the novelties he has 

 gathered for the coming season. The 

 Initterflies were intended to gi\-e a 

 natural toueli to u hand bouquet, fur 

 instance — the large glass butterfly on a 

 prominent flower or leaf, its springs 

 gi\-ing a motion quite lifelike. The 

 smaller liutterflies of satin, scattered 

 about dainty paper bouquet holders in 

 (lower colors, are skilfully designed to 

 adorn pretty clusters of every kind of 

 llower. Violet shields, in purjile for 

 the singles and lavender for tlie doiddes. 

 add grace while i)iote<-tiiig delicate 

 fabrics. 



.\ novel touch that Mr. Kii-e has pre 

 |iared for fashion's fancy is the hire 

 like jiajier handkerrliief. The idea is 

 that one of these dainty white or laxeii 

 der or Nile green creations be laid in 

 <\ac]i ))o.\ of choice blossoms, so that the 

 fair reci|iient of the gift may brush 

 tlu^ moisturi> from her d.'iinty fing(>rs 

 when they ;ire arranged in bowls or 

 \ases. The corsage pins brotight a look 

 of pride to Mr. Uii-e's f.'ice — l;irge glass 



jiiiis of purjile, li.Miiilsnmely iiiiiunted, 

 seen ill the Parisian .jeweh'is' shops; 

 moditied to meet the llmists' neeils, yet 

 still the most tistoiinding pins e\ cr of- 

 fered for corsage boucjiiets. 



^iher will be the fashionable color 

 iH^xt season, so silver wire ribbon has 

 now appeared in divers wiilths. There 

 are bridal scarfs, exquisite in design, of 

 fair chiffon. Soft chenille ribbon, with 

 tassels many colored, is a ]iretty nov 

 elty. The ribbon shelves are now graced 

 by a real Killarney ribbon, white, 

 i-erise-shot, giving that lovely imitrast 

 in pinks betwixt inner aiol outer side 

 of petal for which Killariu'v is so dearly 

 li)\(>d. This ]>erfei-r mati h re|>resents 

 long striving before the result was at- 

 tained. .V practical rilibon, designed to 

 meet the needs of a pretty ami serv- 

 iceable bow. that will (ill its ]il;iie with-

 le.'idy won friends.
