PARISIAN NOVELTIES.

Two luxuries in which women of fashion have indulged for generations are among the last-word novelties in Paris—tortoiseshell and ivory. Out of them countless lovely things aro being made for personal adornment, for personal accessories and for the boudoir. Among the smaller articles fashioned in ivory are necklaces of beads finely carved or plain in a mellow shade, brooches, ear-rings, combs and belt ornaments. For book covers, parasol handles, and for every conceivable article, both useful and ornamental, for the toilet table, ivorv is now more fashionable than anv other" material with the exception of' tortoise-shell, which is preferred by many smart women. In this, too, beautiful and costly tilings arc shown. Whole sets of toilet- articles, little boxes and containers for cigarettes, cards, matches, vanities, cigarette, holders, fans, combs, bracelets, necklaces, and ear-rings are the treasured possessions of women of the most refined taste, and have for the moment entirely replaced the silver and even the gold trappings that were once so fashionable.
