would last for years. There are many
armures glaces with just q faint outline
of brilliant color like cord, whilst self
broeades Of Louis XVI. time ave the
most wonderful mixtvtes of tints, and SO
have some of the quadrille patterns on
chameleon. Most of the new MORE rib
bons are beautifully watered after the
order of the MORE antique, and some of
the best floral patterns seem to work
their way through the ground. the flow
ers being a faithful representation of ma
ture. Velvet stripes on the ombre effects
are a dominant novelty, and appear in all
width and sizes, but there is an innova-
ton. viz, a broad hrocaded stripe down
the centre, such as a cluster of lilies of
he valley on a mother-of-peari ground.
These nacre ribbons not only are beauti-
fully colored, but are woven in such a
fashion that they bring the aspect of
mother-of-pearl exactly to the mind. A
few of the new ribbons have tinsel
stripes, and there are reversible satin
moires, while a number of brilliant col
ors, taffetas and moires. are softened by
an edge of black satin.

Pearls are the fad Of the hour. Every
debutante of any social account has one
or two strings, costing one or two thou
sand dollars, but the society matrons in
dulge in great hopes of them. to which
they are continually adding.
Mrs. Potter Palmer. who is spending
her first season In Newport. is said 10
own pearls which a princess might envy.
Mrs. Fred vanderbilt's pearls are also
markedly beautiful. Corsage ornaments
are graceful novelties.
Two separate bow knots, for instance,
studded with pearls and diamonds, are
linked together with ropes of pearls.
Jewels this season are worn most lay
ishIy. Al any large Newport function it
seems to be only a question who shall
manage to put on the most diamonds
and the biggest. Corsage fronts are so
covered that the material does not mat
ter.
Add to his the fact that nearly every
married woman wears q tiara and the
effect is a just a little dazzling. These
tiaras are built so that they can be taken
apart n worn as pins and other crna-
ments. The most brilliant tiara possible
has a succession Of spiky rays set up on
a band which twinkle and fash with
every step.
Another beautiful tiara has a graceful
scroll surmounted by tall, delicate sprays
of diamonds of varying sizes. symrnetri-
caiiy arranged on almost invincibie pla-
tinum wires.
Bracelets are to claim more attention
this winter than for some seasons. They
are of Oriental splendor and are to be
worn with Cleopatra-like enjoyment of
display. Large diamonds, Joined by
chains of small diamonds and alternating
with others set with rubies, are regal
faneies.
For the debutante there is a design less
bold and rather more dainty. slender
chains being secured with pear-shaped
pearl clasps, fringed with pearl PEN
dants.
The most bizarre ornaments Is the ring
reaching from knuckle to knuckle, called
the banquet ring" 1t looks ridiculous
and savors of barbarism. If a
has so many stone she is not satisfied
until all are in evidence, let her find
some more pleasing way of using them
h spread over her hands.
Increase the size of the garter buckle
and diminish tha of the ring. The more
beautiful the hand the more important
it is to wear on the fingers only a few
choice stones, set as simply as possible.
Diamond-encrusted scroll work is to
hold an important place in the winter
5eweIry.
Aigrettes are SO constructed as to give
the delicate effect of the slender bird
tufts. Som times these are made with
diamonds of rare size and weight.

II is a pity that more cooks do not un-
derstand the preparation of the many de.
licfous iced buildings which French artists
OF the kitchen make from rice and from
nuts.
The iced rice pudding is most delicious
made as q simple rice custerd, frozer
and served with preserved fruits. Boi
a scant teacup of nice Carolina rice il
9 double boiler with a quart Of milk, hal
q cup of sugar and half a t~easpoonful Of
salt. When the rice is soft take it I'D and
stir in the yolks of four eggs. Return ths
pudding to the fire and beat IT hard fol
two or three minutes. Add a pint of ricf
cream, and when the pudding is cold two
tablespoons of maraschino or some sherry
or, if you prefer it, a tablespoonful o.
orange extract.
Freeze the pudding and serve it on
base of golden orange jelly, or with swee-
preserved oranges or ounces heaped ovei
it. 1t is also nice served on a low, crysta
platter, with a wreath of whipped cream
tinted pink with preserved strawberr,
