summer .IcVyelry.

Very simple iewelry is worn with
summer dresses, and the absence of all
icwelry is far more distinguished look
ing than the use of too much. The nee
essary articles-pins, sleeve-buttons aud
chatelaine for the watch-are in very
light designs, and the merely orna-
mental bracelets are only slender rims,
while necklaces are not worn at all ex-
cept for full dress. The fashionable
breastpin takes the shape OF bona fide
pin, and may be like the long scarf pins
worn by gentlemen, with merely ball
head, or else there is a separate pin at
the back, like that on an ordinary
brooch; the latter has the advantage of
showing all the pin, which cannot be
done when the scarf pin is used, though
is the caprice of the moment to
thrust the scarf pin so slightly in the
lace that the greater portion of it is
seen. Some OF the prettiest brooches
are n gold pin about three inches long
with pearl head, while resting on the
center of the slender pin are two dia-
monds, or else sapphire with a ruby,
or perhaps two opals or two colored
pearls. Sometimes a ieweled bee,
butterfly or a great spider is poised on
the long pin. and sometimes there is a
flower Of colored stones or OF enamel.
Less expensive brooches are OF red gold,
made to represent a long letter, the
initial OF the wearer's name-a script
capital of slender gold lines. Scarf
pms with ball heads like those used bv
gentlemen are chosen by ladies TO pin
fichus and kerchiefs. Some of these
have ball Of cream white enamel dotted
with colors, others have tiny turquoises
set in, or else a cats-eye, or perhaps
ruby, sapphire and a diamond
are set in star shape. Fans, spi-
ders, butterflies and daisies are also
favorite heads for such pins. A number
of pins Of medium size are also used for
fastening back the loops OF null or lace
neckties, or to fasten the ends of a
neckerchief as we'll as to con fine it at
the throat. The most popular pins of
this kind are of sterling silver, with
round or with pear-shaped heads, and
there are also larger scarf pins Of silver
with hanging chain and pendant pieces.
Dull yellow gold, either smooth or
hammered, is pretty for pins that are to
be used in black lace fchus. There are
also pearl heads to gold pins of various
sizes, costing from sl.75 each to $50,
according to the size and value of the
pearl. Silver brooches in floral de-
signs are also very popular, especially
IN the whitened silver, when a pretty
little spray OF white flowers is repre-
sented. A silver daisy brooch is espe-
cially popular with young ladies. With
simple morning and travelling dresses
brooch is worn with linen collar
without a necktie or lace, but for more
dressy occasions fichus are fastened low
in surplice fashion with from two to
four pins, or else a lace scarf passed
around the neck is tied in large loops
and pinned in several places; black net
with tinsel dashes is prettiIy worn
around the neck with hammered gold
pin holding each loop of the large bow
tied at the throat. A long straight
scarf OF tamboured null is worn around
the neck, passed down tho front of the
corsage and fastened in a bow at the
waist line, with silver pins to hold it at
the throat and the waist.-Hayper's
