Cigarettes of Egyptian tobacco, half as long again og the gular cigarette, are made up in fancy wrappers for women. A woman? can match her gown or get a striking contrast. A smart style of cigarette has black and white nar row stripes with the mouthpiece solid black. A cerise cigarette comes in the same style, and an dainty. All colours are used, and all-lavender cigarette is pretty and stripes may run lengthwise of the cigarette or encircle it. In contrast to these are very tiny cigar rettes, all white with a gilt mouth-2 piece.
NEW KINDS OF EASTER CARDS; A new line of exceedingly pretty Easter cards may be made with the use of small sea shells. Both cards and shells are hand-painted. The work is sketchy, but effective. Round, rather deep shells serve as little bonnets, with gay streamers and paint dropped on thickly for flowers. The bonnets may be by themselves or they crown the heads of little hand-painted figures, On other cards they are used for the heads on which faces are painted. A little Japanese figure under a wisteria vine has the wings of the broad sash made of a pair of tiny shells, and on other cards they form the actual wings of an insect.
