PRECIOUS MANAcLEs.

Bracelets and necklaces signify man.
acles and chains, but they typify the
silken bondage of love in the ornament
al forms we know them. Nothing is in
worse taste than a lot of cheap brace
let's or bangles, and I rejoice they are
seen these days but infrequently. A
simple band of gold fastened with the
little paddock, or the plain circle or
porte bonheur may be worn at all times
they are love tokens only. l need
scarcely say that bracelets and rings
khould never be worn outside the
gloves, or necklace with high gown.
1t would be quite as fitting to wear
your stockings outside your shoe, a
coronet outside your hat, or your collar
outside your four-in-hand scarf. A
bracelet, a necklace, are ornaments for
your arm and neck; a glove and gown
are coverings.
For an inscription I think the very
prettiest is taken from "Cymbeline." [

she placed upon her daughters arm.

that ladies do not wear them.
Precious stones have always had each
one meaning, but their language has
been forgotten or lost sight of, appar-
emily, for l could not find among the
most prominent jewelers. one who had
any but the vaguest ideas concerning
them. The ancients cared more for the
meaning and talismanic qualities of a
stone than for it's actual beauty The

to see ruffies and puffs run amuck over
the godets of dress Does this signify
somewhat for the future style or is it
a passing sympathy with nature?
AS to materials, the uppermost ques-
ton is as to the aesthetic Specification
of rejecting surfaces like taffeta and
ALPACA just now in great vogue. Do
such surfaces or absorbent ones, like
crepe, barege and organdi, look and
feel most agreeable, or is there any
motive at all in taste for choosing one
or the other? The sun and dust strike
off alapaca, but so does the color and

it to homely utility use. Whether it

is no eXaggeration of facts to say that
in the past four years our American
women with the aid more especially of
the wheel, golf clubs and a bit of gym
nasium work have entirely reorganized
their standards of physical development.
The Psyche Type Back Number.
The girl today who boasts a round slim
waist, sloping shoulders, neat small
wrists and ankles with arms and neither

a Greek Psyche, is no longer approved by
her sisters nor content with her appear
ance. She loses little time reducing her
self to plain bone and muscle and for
the last year the records of measure
ments in the women's gymnasiums show
it is as easy and as universal to add
three inches to a girls waist measure in
one season of work. as it used to be pos
sible to reduce the girth by the aid of the
bed post and stout silk corset laces.
But just in proportiont as our women

cheeks and brighter eyes steady exercise
bring. but it is growing more and more
difficult every day, say the artists, to
find proper models, and for ballet masters
to draw suitable recruits to their service
Unless the standards of feminine beauty
are readjusted to meet the ideas Of the
modern woman the feminine element
bids fair to disappear wholly from the
painters canvas and vanish in an orna-
mental capacity from the stage. for it is
with her strong right arm the damsel OF
the future evidently means to rule.

young Diana, but the first morning of re-

On looking into book on anatomy,
the afflicted girl found every hydra

a resounding Latin name. The sole cure

PARIS, Aug 31.-In the work rooms
of Paris are busy brains and tireless
hands laboring ceaselessly at the prob
lem of what shall be worn when the
last balloon sleeve has been pricked
by autumn's winds-if indeed, it is to
be so pricked, for OF all the vexed
questions this of the sleeve is most
vexing; and at this moment the dress
makers of the whole world are on pill
grimages to Paris, and there their
days are spent from 10 o'clock to in

subIimated Coquetry.
The character of the dress is formed
largely by the hat. 1t is wide in front
where it seems weighted with trim
ming, it is wide at the sides where
the trimming is built out to the edge
and beyond: and it turns up high be-
hind with the effect of an enormous

to It's position on the head; it is worn
tipped low over the face, so low that
the brim cuts across the disc of the
eyes. Then this high lowered back
comb and the eyes glancing out from
beneath the shade have an effect of
extreme coquetry. The apparently mod
est effect produced by the really COM
plex has resulted in the extremely
piqI&nt, and hereby it may be noted
that The dressmaker's art has in no
wise lost its grip.
A New Couture.
A peculiar style of hair dressing goes
with this hat. 1t is called the Boticelli,
being named after the old master. The
hair bulges out on each side Of the
head low down. growing wide as it de-
scends, being either waved or plain
so that the face peers from between
as we'll as from under thus aiding the
effect upon it of the hat. The face
looks delicate and appealing. There is
here an instance where mere arrange

ment. but the additional favor of sur
prise. The epicure finds olives much
better than preserves, and a pink and
white complexion is tame beside these
subtleties. Here, indeed, is the triumph
of art.
One may note that uncovered ears
are now shocking. Immcdest is too
small a word, and naked ears are fair
ly brazen. Thus a few weeks of habi-
tude sweeps decades into oblivion On
which text philosophy may be hung,
provided warm weather gives inclina-
ton.

Apropos of sleeves there is a speck
as large as a mans hand that ap-
peared in March that persists inquiet-
ingly if it does not grow. 1t is the
Louis XVI sleeve, which is TO say, the
small sleeve dubbed historically by
courtesy for Introduction only. Its
hesitating persistence troubles every
body concerned. Will it be assimilated
or not? That it is to be seen here and
there on a daring gown is not an an
swer but an aggravation. And all the
cloak makers because of it are late in
their autumn models. Shall they make
sleeved jackets or shall they not? If
the gown sleeves fall they may, if not
they must make capes. And the man
