who is nothing If she IS not original. is
busy determining ways and means by
which she may indulge In this luxury
in a unique manner.
Many are affecting exclusively the
stone that belongs to the month of their
birth, but the wise daughter of vogue
leaves this custom to her more con-
ventional sisters and herself, unless her
month gem happens to be exactly right
for her purpose, selects some other that
Is best suited to her style and complex
ION.
One Of these fadmonsers has made
happy choice of the turquoise, which
taken singly has perhaps a rather child
Ssh appearance, but which en- masse is
singularly rich, and at the same time
delicate, in effect. Her rings for constant
wear are antiques of curious settings,
solitaire, in clusters. set off by diamonds,
and alone with the same variety IN mod
ern ones. For stick pins. and watcn
guards and belt clasps. the stone is
satisfactorily utilized. and for full dress
occasions its soft blue is found to en-
nance the wilderness of any lady's neck
in an encircling necklace, and to throw
out the delicacy of her arms In brace
lets.
For those who can indulge only more
moderately than this in Jewels the same
constancy to one stone seems a pretty
custom, as it accentuates the PERSONAL
ity of those making use of It in a pleas
ing way tina will iinger in the memory
Of their friends.
It is the same desire for originality
that induces some women TO wear ali
their jewelry In some. one design, as
hearts, true lovers knots, etc. But the
most acute good dresser is she who Sc
aects as occasions present themelves
that which is most becoming and most
appropriate both In stone and in design.
, As for Instances with one of the very
popular costumes in that Frenchy effect
of gay coloring, in the delicate tones
that Vatican revealed In, Frenchy de-
eigns in jewelry are most appropriate,
IS lovers knots in gay enamels, violets
wrought in sapphires, or fleur de lis in
turquoise and pearls.
With a black and white effect in dress
the jewelry should bear out the gener-
hl color scheme. and be either Of dia-
monds or pearls, white enamel, the jetty
black oof somber onyx, or the very beau
tiful catseyes.
For an elaborate evening costume moth
ing is more satisfactory than diamonds;
particularly for a woman who is herself
all flesh and b~rilliancy, but for a demure,
sanity looking maiden pearls are more
IN keeping. A dashing brunette Is at
tractively enhanced by a free use of
fopazes, or rubies and a fair skinned,
brilliantly-colored woman by emeralds.
For general wear. where pins and
finger rings are the pieces of jewelry
most used it is well to give considerable
attention to the selection of stones, and

unique settings can be found without
much trouble and should be freely in
