these  lilies,  but.  we  think  them  prettiest 
in  a  flat  bowl  of  clear  glass.  These  shal¬ 
low  flat,  bowls  are  made  especially  for 
arranging  flowers  after  the  Japanese 
mode,  with  the  stems  set  in  a  bronze  or 
china  holder,  made  of  some  quaint  shape, 
such  as  a  turtle,  a  fish,  a  f rug,  or  a 
crab. 
Cross-stitch  canvas,  to  be  used  as  a 
guide  in  cross-stitch  embroidery,  may  he 
obtained  in  a  very  fine  weave,  for  use  in 
working  on  sheer  materials,  such  ns 
handkerchiefs.  The  canvas,  in  both  fine 
and  coarse  weaves,  is  29  cents  a  yard. 
The  high-school  girl  would  like  the  lit¬ 
tle  hook  called  "School  Memories.”  which 
is  an  allium,  attractively  bound,  having 
decorated  pages  for  keeping  records  of 
school  happenings.  It.  is  prettily  bound, 
one  style  costing  9-S  cents,  while  a  more 
expensive  binding  costs  $2.10.  This  hook 
would  make  a  nice  gift  for  a  grammar 
school  graduate  before  her  entry  to  high 
school.  Another  pretty  little  album 
is  called  “The  Wedding  Book,”  cost¬ 
ing,  in  cloth  binding  44  cents, 
while  a  more  elaborate  volume  called 
"The  Wedding  Journal.”  costs  98  cents, 
$2.1  (>  or  $2.88,  according  to  the  elabor¬ 
ation  of  the  binding.  These  books  are 
arranged  for  records  of  the  wedding  day, 
the  gifts,  the  guests  and  other  details  that 
form  valuable  recollections. 
White  mercerized  chi  If  on  voile  (cotton) 
is  recommended  for  excellent  laundering 
qualities;  it  is  seen  -19  inches  wide,  for 
19  and  24  cents  a  yard.  The  city  gram¬ 
mar  schools  graduate  many  of  their  pu¬ 
pils  in  February,  so  sueh  materials  are 
offered  at  this  time  for  graduation 
dresses.  Silk  voile  in  great  variety  is 
offered  for  Hit  cents  and  $1.49  a  yard, 
40  inches  wide;  it  is  very  attractive  for, 
separate  blouses,  being  less  sheer  than 
chiffon,  while  very  thin  amt  soft  Georgette 
crape  of  about  the  same  weight  as  the 
silk  voile  was  also  $1.49  a  yard;  this 
has  a  finely  crinkled  or  pebbly  weave, 
though  without  tin1  crinkle  of  other  crape. 
Tliis  is  now  a  favorite  material  for 
separate  blouses,  either  alone  or  com¬ 
bined  with  silk  or  lace.  These  materials 
make  up  very  handsomely,  either  alone  or 
with  taffeta  for  summer  or  reception 
dresses.
