FASHIONS IN JEWELRY.

| COAAEo COT With FooRAD, Long watch
| Chains, and Diamonds fer the Coiffure.
Now that the bodice in vogue for
evenings is essentially successful, the
Jeweled bauble chain to wear with it
! is placed in the center rather than at
| one side or on one shoulder. This center
pin. then, is placque-shaped with PEN
dants unless it can rise to the import
ance of a stomacher. which not many
American women attain. Now that
Mrs. Bradley Martin has taken herself
and her stomacher and coronet over
there where coronets are common
things, that the Astors and Wander
bilts are not going out, it seems as if
there were less splendor of jewels at
the opera than ever before. But among
the exquisite things is bodice pin

knots Of diamond ribbon, which can be
divided into so many smaller brooches
when needed. As decoration for the
throat four oval hoops set with dia.
monds interlaced together and attached
by wide band of velvet are worn.

Sometimes the upper row of pearls is
straight and those below form slight
festoons. The plain row of brilliants

the neck loses its beauty. and so many

way by women clever in the art Of
dressing their hair in odd seyles. A
most unusual coiffure has been formed
by drawing the coils of hair through q

for the arm.
Round and oval stones of various
tints, each mounted with little head

of all sorts being used together.
Parisians are still showing a marked
partiality for long watch chains, and
they are sometimes even worn by gem
tlemen. The model which obtains
most is a fine gold chain with moder-
ately sized pearls introduced at inter-
vals. A few costly specimens are en-
riched with small, pierced diamonds,
strung together between two or three
pearls, and there are also
chains copied from Russian jewelry
composed of perforated pieces of silver
set with diamonds linked together in
chain. Many articles for ordinary
wear and use are provided in the pre-
cious metal, as the corset hook, the
visible portion of which is an initial
letter formed of gold and jewelled, J
button hook, the solid part being ham

lions of small stones, and the olive |
