Highly ornamental and strikingly ag-
gressive best describes the new chateiaine
which is just now in great favor abroad.
Jewelry authorities In Washington agree
that an effort to restore the chat elaine to its
former prestige an article OF adcrnment
and utility combined Is meeting with great
success. Women who have spent the sum-
mer on the continent don this insignia of
the popular Partisan fad.
The chatelaine pin to be en- regie must
seven inches in length, and from it
must hang at least seven pendants, and nine
chains of various leDgths, to which chaic-
aiEe belongings are attached, are even /
more in evidence than the lesser number.
Probably the most noticeable revival of
this forgotten fashion, which reigncd with |
more or less distinction six or eight years !
ago in America, was when superbly jew |
.lcd chatelaine claimed attention among
he bridal gifts presented at a wedding of |
he late summer. This one was greatly ad- |
nrcd. aud was designed especially for the |
bride.
A curio in the form Of an antique chate- |
aine exhibited uptown, and more than |
wo hundred years old, suggests the idea !
rom which the era ze was evolved. /
! old links caught together by oblong shields
If green enamel finished off by tassels
If gold fringe are suspended from massive
,roocli.
Each of the four chains SD formed hold
n place some suggestion Of miIady's
Iuties. for which purpose chatelaines in
lie old days were originally intended. A
lunch OF keys. a watch key and an open
ace watch ten times the size of any seen
oday add interest to the mediaeval relic. !.
