Diamonds. sapphIres. and Rubiea to Adorn the
Fashionable Woman This season.
Fashions change In jewelry with remarkable
rapidity. Manufacturers have been far seeing
enough TO anticipate the good times which are
at hand, and the designs to DO worn during the
coming winter are richer and more gorgeous
than ever before. The up-to-date woman must
Jingle as she goes with vibrating hair orna-
mcnts, studded with precious gems. and be.
jewelled neck chains and flexible bracelets.
When asked about the changing styles in
jewelry Il gem expert in a leading establishment
said:
"Ofc course. diamonds easily keep in the lead.
and they will be worn in the hair, around the
neck. on the fingers, and on the arms even moro
than they were last season. Only recently we
filled an order for a diamond necklace fifteen
feet long. The fortunate owner proposes to
wear it wrapped around her neck just as many
times as it will go. The newest hair ornaments
for evening wear are flexible. Single diamonds
of varied sizes are fastened at different
heights on vibrating spirals Of gold or sill
yer, and these glisten like SO many dew
drops among the aigrettes with the
| slightest movement Of the wearer. This style
OF ornament is really more graceful and becom.
ing than the coronet or tiara. Amber shell
combs studded with diamonds and pearls will
also be much used for full dress. The turquoise
is gaining in popularity every day, and is worn
in the hair and on the neck and arms. and SO is
the American pearl, which is extensively used
in the newest Jewelry.
THE woman who is fortunate enough to possess
an old flexible bracelet which has perhaps been
in her family for generations can bring It from
its hiding place and don IL, for flexible bracelets
are the rage. The weaves are antique in APP
pearance. and the Burmese is the favoriie
finish for the gold. One OF the most fetching
designs has a tiny chain, two or three inches
long. suspended where the bracelet clasps. and
at the end of this bangles a perfectly round
gen.. Pearls. turquoise. the dcmatoid, errone-
Ously called the divine. rubies. and snpphires
are most In demand. Others are studded at in
teryals with precious stones. while u few are
plain, with jewelled clasps.
The ~Sautoir. popularity called the lorgnette
ctain. holds its own. but TIE newest designs are
very different from the plain gold chain OF the
past. One OF the handsomest is composed en-.
tircly OF amethSs SITS cut perfectly round: each
stone has "a crystal rondle set n its centre. The
mother turquoise treated in the same way
makes one of the most exquisite chains on the
market. Another excellent combination is
that OF American pearls and drops OF
gorgeously coiored enamel. 1t is sometimes
hard for the uninitiatcd to tell the enamel from
precious stones. Watches, fans. chain purses,
and lorgnettes are worn attached, to these
chains. The demi-Sautoir, however, Is the latest
thing. 1t is a short chain hanging loosely from

waist could easily be put aside suddenly. The
very simple square-necked waist in the group is
made Of plain foulard silk, with two rows of
lace insertion carried across the front. The
same effect is brought out on tho small puffs of
the tight sleeves. The little Russian coat
bodice is Of 6cru Kuipure over golden
brown satin. Tho lace sleeves are I'M

points. are finished with little frillings of

bodice with the full pleated collar, having two
deep points that hang to the waist, is of jetted
black net over cerise silk. A jetted band over
