JEWELS FOR THE HAIR.

bon Ornaments Worn by Our
Everyday Girls.

The fiexibility which has so long
been desired by jewellers in the con-
struction of certain articles seems to
have been attained in the beautiful
tiara of diamonds shown. 1t is de-
signed IN a very light and graceful
style and can be converted ;ato four
different articles. First there is the
handsome central crown. This may
be taken to pieces and merely left as
tiara; the sides. by means of clasps,
are joined together and produce a
smaller model. Then the large tiara,
supplemented by the two narrow bands
of jewels which rest on the hair, is
converted into a massive diamond
necklack, the smaller one in turn being
similarly adopted. Further subdivis-

vide small neclzlet by taking the two
sides of the original crown. Then,
again, it is possible to have merely 9
single-stone necklet from the junction
of the two slender bands of the coro-
net. The achievement is the more re-
markable since it has not so far been
found possible to obtain fiexibility in a
floral design. This trinket is valued
at the modest sum Of So, 500.
Another model, comparatively low
priced, but also worthy of much ad-
miration, Is diamond and pearl
aigrette for the hair, which can be de-
tached and worn as brooch. The
third figure is a shell hairpin sur
mounted by two dainty little Mercury
wings united by a knot of diamonds.
In these days of much dressed heads
handsome hair ornaments are becom-
ing daily more popular.
1t is far cry from these jeweled
playthings of the wealthy to the simple,
little, ribbon ornament of the every
day girl is probably just as happy as
she of the diamond crown.

bon bow in her hair instead of gilt
tering jeweled one. Two styles are
particularly popular. For the first,
four bows of velvet ribbon are tightly
tied, with two outstanding ends of the
same. Rose-colored velvet is the ia
vorite, and when a tiny bow of white
lace is introduced the effect is
charming on pretty brown hair.
These can be worn with a rou-
leau of velvet or can be fastened
in the hair with a fine, steel crescent
hair pin. The other popular bow real
~ consists of four ends of crossway
velvet, arranged two on each side, with
a tie in the center. The outer ends are
longer than the others and are cut in
vandykes. On orange. blue, or pink
bows of this kind a narrow Jet trim
ming is run on little way within the
edge. Another dainty ornament for
the hair is rouleau of blue velvet and
five rosettes of blue silk isse. The
rouleau is worn across the top and
around one side of the coil Of the hair.
Near the front end butterfly is light
ly placed above a good-sized rosette.
The smaller rosettes are placed ON the
band at intervals, two being quite at
the end.

Jumping Pills.

A Germantown bachelor of convivial
habits, missing his last train, spent the
night with friend.in town, and met with
narrowing experience, says the Phila-
delphia Record. When they awoke in the
morning the Germantown man, to use his
expression, felt like a fur salesman who
had swallowed his samples. He was still
trihe under the influence of the rosy,
and his nerves were not in the best posi-
bic condition. On the dressing case was
an open pill box containing two pellets.
He was about to ask his friend what kind
of pills they were when one of them gave
little squirm and turned completely
over. The Germantown man rubbed his
eyes and stared in amazement Then the
other pill slowly began rolling about the
box, and his eyes threatened to bulge out
OF their sockets. The two pills next be-
gan hopping up and down, as though try
ing to escape from the box. Thoroughly
frightened, the Germantown man gave
yell, and, jumping into bed, pulled the
clothes over his head.
Take EN- away!' he groaned.
Take what away?" asked his very
much surprised friend.
Those pills in that box. Have 1 got
'em, or are they really jumping about?"

They're not pills. They're a couple of
