nilure.
Very little jewelry is worn with
summer costumes, finger rings being
about all that are worn for ornament
only. Brooches. sleeve buttons, stick
pins and studs are necessary. Studs
are for the most part quite plain. The
latest fad is to have the set, three in
mum Der, linked together by a slender
cha Il of gold. These studs are bits o!
enamel of very pale sky blue, or the
darkest navy blue, with q border of
gold, while others are shap ped like
tiny bow-knot of gold ribbon.
Linked sleeve buttons are the best
for the square cuffs of the shirt waist.
They come in lovely f1eur.de-lis de-
signs of gold on white or blue enamel
ed surface.
Fleur .de.lis designs are used extern
sIvely in all kinds of iewelry.
Princssse gowns are worn on all oc-
and almost all costumes have
q corselet or girdle.
Heavy pure white or cream writing
paper is used by those who claim TO
know what is proper.
Street dresses are much more snowy
than formerly, although it is not so
becoming.
GUARANTEED CURE.
