beads. These come in long strands. which
are frequently used in place of watch
chains. Others wear them entirely for orna-
ment. and short strand is often seen ar
ranged in the coils of the hair. Anyone who
has an old-time strand Nof coral beads can
not find anything more up to date to wear
than that. Turquoise beads are fashion
able, and the proper bridal gift has been for
some time one or more strands of pearls
Not few long fine gold chains have round
jewels placed at intervals on it's length
Amber is again au fat, and amber combs
for the hair, amber beads for the neck
chain, and amber trimmings for ball gowns
are once more in favor In addition to the
amber that is worn about the person or on
the garments, there are numerous little ar
ticles made Of or decorated with amber.
Jewel stamp and bonbon cases are made
of the translucent yellow substance often
set with diamonds or colored jewels. Amber
is best suited to persons with dark COM
plexion, although blondes affect both tur-
quoise and amber as being especially suited
to golden locks.
An authority in the matter says that men
who part their hair on the side are now the
fashion, and that men who have divided
their hair above the center of their fore
locks in another direction
This is the description in an English
paper of the travelling gown of a bride of
quality: Lady Flora's going away gown
was extremely pretty, although the weather
so cold that it's summertime hue of
hyacinth blue silk canvas was rather I'M
suitable. The bodice had broad lace-em-
broidered revers and the tight sleeves were
tucked from shoulder to wrist The skirt
was very smartly cut, but it had frill of
accordion-pleated chiffon about the foot
that seemed q trifie too flimsy for the time
of year. White feathers and chiffon held
with old paste buckles formed the trimming
on the bread white felt hat, and to be worn
over the blue gown in the train was a long
redingote-shaped cloak of mouse-colored
cloth, appliqued with cream colored satin
and finished rather smartly with a black
waistband and collar and cuffs of satin 1t
was lined throughout with mauve and white
checked silk"
