Buckles Are Now Worn.
The yachting pin, which has been
popular for the last five years, is at
last "called i'm as the college boys
say. 1t has gone its way with the very
last semblance of masculinity in the
attire of the well-dressed woman. The
jewellers invented it when the stiff
bosomed shirt and four-in-hand tie were
in vogue, and from that day to this
every young woman who belonged to a
yachting family or had a yachting adj
mirer was sure to fasten her tie with
little enameled ensign, or perhaps a
club burgee.
1t must not be supposed, however,
that because the pin has grown I'M
fashionable girls are about to cease to
proclaim in their attire their salt water
affiliations. The enameled device has
travelled downward and brought up at
the waist line in the shape of a belt
buckle.
The jewelers. are displaying oval
buckles of plain, dull-surfaced silver
across which is stretched the tiny sill
yer flag daintily enamelled to simulate
papa's or Reginald's ensign, or the de-
vice of some one of the great yacht
ling clubs burgess. And these have
been supplemented by others bearing
| the football colors of the leading COL
leges, which are ITO confine the ribbons
binding the slight waists of those maid
ems who are courageous enough to set
upon the grand stand in a bitter east
wind and watch the splendid tussles
| that win championships. The Harvard
buckle has a flag of white and red en-
amel Yale is dark blue and Prince
toms shows a combination of yellow
and black. These buckles lie tempt
| ingly in the show cases threaded with
heavy ribbons of the snow white sort,
which are most worn this season to
correspond with the dead white of the
popular duck suits.
| Another new and pretty device of
enamelled silver, which is by the way
the most fashionable form of jewelry
for the moment, is fine thread of
white metal which passes through the
| hair and holds in place delicate pair
| of butterfly wings so skillfully treated
duce the Velvety colors of the insect.
There is a passion for any form of
! tiara like hair ornament just now and
| this serves very effectively to replace
the ornaments of precious stones which
are usually laid aside with the coming
| of summer, unless one means to do
the Newport act and be very gay in
u.
are shown, but are hardly to be rec
commended to women of taste.
Very pretty, however, are the silver
belongings of the universally worn bod
ice Sets of white enamel showing a
pique surface, or one Stimulating linen
are popular, but the prettiest have a
centre of polished white surrounded by
a horiated silver scroll. Those are very
cheap, the studs costing but % cents
apiece, and the sleeve links 81. These
links are long and wedge-shaped, and
the white surface is sprinkled with
| the tiniest of silver stars. The same
styles are shown with enamelling of
ruby red, sapphire blue, emerald green
and amethyst purple.
turquoise is much used in combination
with this silver jewelry, but only in
"seed Sizes and though It is rarely
that a good American turquoise of any
weight is found the seed stones are
quite as durable and good in color as
the Persian gems. Set closely they
make charming belt buckles in the
diamonds and the like, and are most
popular in the long lace daggers, which
are so useful with summer gowns
These have very large and elaborate
handles, but are copied after the best
old sword handles of Charles 1 time
and are therefore in spite of their size
never coarse in appearance.
Charles 1 fashions are waxing in
favor in every direction. Perhaps the
very newest thing the jewelers. show is
the Henrietta Maria rosette with fila
gree metal tags of the sort used upon
both masculine and feminine sleeves
shoulders and girdles at the court Of
the martyr king. These can be made
up in any colored ribbon, but are
charming to wear with white muslin
if composed of white ribbon and with
frosted silver tags. Emma Eames, the
beautiful soprano, was the first person
to wear these, but her rosettes were
costly, being worn with a white satir
gown, the silver tags being frosted with
tiny diamonds. E. D.
