Not many years ago two women out
Of three wore earrings. Little girls at
school begged to have their ears pierced,
and submit ted to the painful puncturing
of the delicate lobe of the ear only for
the qualification of vanity. To-day, ex-
cept among the Italian and Portuguese
women, the pendant earring has almost
wholly disappeared. A few still cling
to the ear ornam ent in the shape of a
stud, but the jewelers. say that few VIC
men nowadays submit to the piercing
process. Some whose ears are already
punctured still wear their ornaments,
tut many use little articles to conceal
the traces of the needle.
