Cleopatra trinketS are still the rage.
and the ring trade has received a new
impetus. The sale of turquoise, anne
thyst, jade, colored onyx, cats eyes and
aQuamarineS is something beyond be-
lief, for the fact is, Bernhard set the
fashion of wearing rings on the ten
fingers, and her admirers are doing
likewise. Large belts of gold, studded
with semi-precious stones, are worn
with dinner dresses, and for the loosely
draped tea-goWn there are half-ZoneS

Her sleeves are medium high and full
at the top and gradually slope to a tigh
wrist, the under gore stopping at the
hand and the top being a couple of
inches longer.
Watch chains are as significant as
rings or pins. For the man who loves
the sea there are yachting chains, ship
cable links, tiller bar, anchor or com
pass pendant, but you can't get the
lightest for less than S15.
Silver vest chains for the bachelor
girls are only s.. but they are very
