Showing the Oriental Intiuem-e , Many of the windows of the beat shops are now displaying the real .Tujm neso anil Chinese garments with their .?icU silks and gofgeous^ colorings. Most of us, however, *are content to admire these beautiful costumes in the win dows. No one has yet appeared on Fifth Avenue arrayed in the true cos* tume from the land of the cherry-bios som. Hut many have been seen in cos t nines showing the Oriental influence, such as the sketch above illustrates. Another country from which has come insplraion for some of the present styles is Spain, 'the red and black com bination worn by the dark-eyed senor itas of that country Is frequently used with charming effect. es|)ecially in semi eVenlng gowns. From Spain also have wnie tUc. .beautiful Hue . lace scarfs or. mantillas which are now fashionable, and the large combs for the hair which are used with the <^Hffure that Is dis tinctly Spanish. It. is well known tlnit from Russia also we have received a great many contributions to the styles, not only in -tho-1inf? rof biousew isnd dtesses, hut in the Russian turbans raised high in fnjnt. Some of the turhbns are worn with Cbin-Htrajw, or "brides." to which a veil is often attached. All the dainty feminine neeesr iries in every form are displayed to the great est advantage in the stores. Bags of all descriptions there are, for those are considered si very necessary addition to the wardrobe in these days. Hags of v Ivet, suede, ribbon and beads are seen in such a variety of colors and shaiM's that no one can .possibly have arty difficulty in selecting those that will harmonize with her costunies. Of black velvet with a Imnd of Paisley placed at the bottom or in the center, are some very attractive round bags finished with long silk tassels. Others SliW Chinese embroideries in gold and colors.- The l>ead embrolderinl hags of silk and velvet are still popular. Sil ver mesh bags are also worn. Beaded girdles, ostrich fans which are tiSed for winter balls and operas. Vrtcl which come in all colors to match :th<jr gowns with which they are used, and dainty neckwear are only a few of the tempting accessories on display. Fire Alarm Boxes. ?
