Quite reaction IS taking place IN regard
TO ornaments, especially Jewelry. Tue bar
0arlc stvles OF the present day-the great
drops, the dangling balls, tine massive clamp
ed and large nail, studded bands and brace
lets, added to the overwhelming mass OF bra
zen trash which the dollar" stores have
poured iorth-have created disgust in the
souls OF women OF high refinement and culti-
vation.
AT very brilliant reunion laieiy thls SUD
ject was discussed, and some OF the most ele-
CANT woman present declared ther convle'
ton that earrings, rings, bracelets ana lhe

The pretty sypsics OF Engiish anu ialiau
straw are almost universally worn and almost
as universally becoming. The only fault /:
that they ale too much trimmed. Lace, rib
bon, flowers, feathers aie all piled on one
small foundation, and the result IS that the
shape is lost in confused mass OF decoration
| and dIapery.
Bonnets worn by elegant matrons are made
OF chip, ornamented with black lace and tef
/ roses, or with Frou Fr0u gros grain ribbon
