People often wonder where all the
earrings go or have gone to. A few
years ago the fashion of wearing
these relics of harIurism was quite
general. but now it Is the exception
and not the rule to see Il wei dressed

namclts have been left off so long
that scores of women who used 70
them could hardly do SO now
without Inconvenience ana rain. But
the pretty toysnr gems have not been
thrown away ~ wasted. Thcusanls
have been worked up into other and
more fashionable ornaments. Many
very handsome brooches have been
made out OF earrings which hayrout
lived the fashion. and there has been
quite IL large amount Of ingenuity
displayed III the work so as to do
away with any suspicion Of second
hand i'll the reconstructed adorn
ments.
More than one pair has been made
up into sleeve buttons and presented
to a member of the sterner sex. and
others have been fitted with pins and
used by their fair we as hat or
hailpins. The best judges in these
matters doubt whether earrings as
such will ever become popular again,

women o adays to have their ears
