Emphatically, the accessories of dress are of prime importance this season. It's due, of course, to the simplicity of style lines.

CAMISOLES.

The "ser" of a jumper or blouse į depende far more on the "cami" beneathit than the average woman reslises, and before deciding on your camisole you should study your own particular type of figure. Very full figures should choose a camisole which comes well! down below the normal waist line and see that it fits very close and trim around the uppper part of the figure under the arms. It is a good plan to have double shoulder; straps; that is, two pieces of ribbon to each eboulder, crossing on the shoulder and about one inch apart where they are sewn to the garment, both at the back and front. Na fussy trimmings should be allowed on & cami, for the full figured a plain band of insertion, or lace being all that is required.. The very slim woman who wishes to give a slight fullness to ber figure should have her cami, made with several little frills of lace or net arranged about half an inch apart and reaching from just below the band of insertion

of lace at the top to within five inches of the waistline. It is best to finish the waist with a rather wide elastic as this helps to keep *** the little frills in correct position.

DON'TS AT TEA PARTIES.

Don't, when you have many callers, interrupt conversation to inquire preferences for milk, sugar, &c. Have cups of tea handed round on a tray, with milk jug and sugar basin, for guests to help themselves.

Don't forget that in these days, many people like a slice of lemon, rather than milk or cream, in their tes. Thin slices of lemon on a small glass dish with a fork to help them with, should be offered.

Don't buy cheap tea for your tea parties. A good hostess is famed for the excellence of the tea she provides, both in flavour and making. At a large party, guests are often given the choice of Indian and China tes

Don't limit the supply of tes to one refilled toapot Have fresh tea brought in at intervals, so that late arrivals do not have, to put up with the beverage much over-drawn or insipidly weak.

RIBBON FOR TABLE DECORATION.

USEFUL HINTS.

A few drops of liaseed oil ap plied with a cloth to the outside of the gas stove or the inside of the oven will keep the stove from rusting and make it easier to care for.

The damp may be accomplished by this Dess makes the thread leave the means. The ribbon must vary in cloth very willingly. width according to the size of the table, but about four inches is an according to taste, some reaching average width. The length varies from corner to carner right across the table, some only a couple of yards in length.

The ribbon is placed crossway, each length meeting in the centre of the table, and shallow bowls of simple flowers are placed in the four divisions formed.

Those who are clever with the brush may improve their ribbon table decorations by painting a apray of flowers or a quaint old-. fashioned posy at each end of: their lengths of ribbon, but this is by no means esential.

The ribbon, when not in use, should be wound round a piece of 'cardboard, and then wrapped in tissue paper. Folding the ribbon forms creases and spoils the effect.

SOME NOVELTY PENDANTS.

Novelty pendants are a craze of the moment, and since mirrors bere, there, and everywhere are the mode, one seen recently was in the form of a tiny round mirror, possibly an inch wide, set in a dis- mond frame and swinging loose within an outer cir- clet-frame also of dia-“ monds. This unusual cop- celt hung from a black cord chain linked with diamond motifs,

THE NEW SLEEVES.

Sleeves are inclined to be much more moderate in design, than they have been for some time past. They have lost that eccan- tric look which made them such remarkable details of one's toilette, and become merely secondary items in the general scheme of things. They are now of medium width when they accompany a walking cost or costume, and when they figure on an after- or reception dress they are slightly tighter and quite long. Or light summer frocks sleeves are quite short.

Some evening gowns which are devoid of sleeves are finished by means of a lace scarf that is thrown the top of the bodice, veiling the neck and arms

in its filmy grace, but, when this is dous, the frock is con sidered more as a dinner dress than as one to be worn at a ball or dance.
