dued kaleidoscope confusion. When the
oolors at the back are dull. as they fire..
quently are, the hearts are printed in
gold color with turquoise, emerald or
ruby jewels with an almost startling
realism. The ornamental hearts are
seen in lockets, large and small, plain
and jeweled, and also in rings, bracelets
and brooches. In fact, there is no kind
of jewelry that may not show the heart
somewhere or somehow. Charms for
gentlemen watch chains are offered,
and linked sleeve buttons and tiny shirt
studs or scarfpins. Children have quite
large lockets finished in Roman gold on
the outside and with parents portraits
inside. The fancy for these hearts is
almost fad and extends far beyond the
usual domains of the jewelers. art. So
far is it carried that in some cases an
evening bodice is SO designed that the
top, bottom and drapery form one great
heart shape. l5NS.l s-.Fsrss.if5I

now are made with each side entirely
different from the other, being draped
on one side and trimmed with some fat
trimming like lace application or beaded
passementerie on the other side or per-
haps wrought with spangles.
Speaking of spangles reminds me Of n

was high in the neck. 1t was Of thin,
soft silk, but was completely covered
with aluminium spangles, one tapping
over the other like the scales Of fish.
The sleeves, dog collar and belt were

of this blouse worn with black satin
duchesse skirt was very brilliant and
effective without being toe pronounced.

scarfs of black or colored net or tulle
spangled with stars and disks. The
scarfs will end in enormous. bows and
high draperies, and they will surround
