MODERN ENGLISH FURNITURE.
The Crown Prince of Sweden,
who has his home in one of the most up-to-date capitals of Europe, is an enthusiast about modern fur niture.
With the Crown Princess he spent a whole morning, inspecting the newest designs in English woods at a furnishing house in Tot- tenham Court Road with Mrs. Manje, whom he met at a luncheon in Sweden.
He was very intrigued with the newest style of bed, which has a head rail that becomes each side a bedside table, cupboard, and a safe. A writing deak of birchwood--- the most common wood in Sweden used for matches-naturally Inter- ested him, as it was an experiment made by this firm, who added a-vel- lum top to be amooth to the hand of the user writing there.

A COMPLIMENT.
To American Star'ı Costume.
It is the habit of most smart
French women to buy their clothes of one house and stick to that one for a number of seasons, ac- cording to Carolya Putnam, style expert for the Paramount New York studio.
But this practice,
Miss Patnam explains, is not ear- ried on by the American woman, because in a single shop in the United States' she may purchase the eream of fashions selected From the entire output of all the famous French dressmakers,
"It is surprising," Miss Putnam said, "with what speed the Ameri- can couturier is able to get models across that broad expanse of ocean and have them up for sale only a comparative handful of days after they have been shown in Paris. But this is true and American women benefit by it im- miens.iy.
"The Parisienne remains true to her style house and usually is more conservative than her Ameri- ean sister in dress. For this rea- son our women experiment more in clothes and make it seêm morg and more plausible as the seasons roll on that America is fashion dictators for the world.

A BIRTHDAY GIFT HINT.
A handkerchief puff is a good suggestion for the woman quaintance to whom you wish to send some tiny trifle to take the place of a birthday card. It can be made in next to no time, and the cost is infinitesimal.
A discarded chiffon or georgette lance frock will provide material for at least half a dozen: of the dainty little handkerchiefs.

If you are using plain chiffon or georgette, you can paint a little design on each handkerchief or embroider a monogram in the corner before attaching the puff.
