COLORED STEEL JEWELRY.


COLORED STEEL JEWELRY.
Last year gun metal was easily the
dominant novelty in jewelry, and some
handsome effects are still achieved by
sinking in its polished dark skin on
umbrella handles, buckles, buttons,
etc, tiny colored jewels or diamonds.
Very soon, however, the public will find
new treasure in colored Steel
BY some process known to metal
workers. steel can. in the furnace, be
dyed almost any color, and marvellous
greens, blues and lilacs, reds, yelloWs
and intermingled tones on steel are
displayed by the thrifty jewelers. A
red steel watch with in-wrought mi
tials in gold is a new and lovely trif1e,
or walrus-hide card case with Won
derful green steel bindings is the type
OF attraction for which women are for
getting even the precious metals.
Among the other coduetries of the
moment are card cases of leather inlafd
with leather That is to say, a flat cigar
brown leather case will be fancifullv
treated with an inlay of small fruit
and vines in green. blue or red leather
Paris sends us these, and some of them
are small masterpieces. A green case,
for instance, will have a decoration of
purple grape clusters, or a wine red
cover may show in miniature the ap-
pies of HeSperides. From Paris, as we'll
come card cases in the exact form of
correspondence envelopes Where the
point Of the flap fits down a metal disk
bearing the owners coat of arms, forms
the catch and locks the cards in.
Fringe is a species of trimming that
seemed to have been effectually cast
aside, hut of late considerable deeora-
ton of fancy bodices, ETC., has been
done with small ruffles of silk having
their edges raveled for a space of half
to three-quarters of an inch. This
might be safely called a harbinger of
fringe, just as we see indications on all
sides of the colored embroidery regain
ing its place on handkerchiefs. A smart
little mouchoir Of white batiste will
have its edges cut in points and the
points buttonholed with colored thread.
If this is not done, then a small knot
Of violets in the natural tints is worked
in one corner, and more unique still is
the owners coat of arms done in one
corner in colors.
Wells FOR WINTER BELLIES.
Rather coarse black nets. with fiat
squares and circles woven in the mesh
seem to be popular at the yelling coun-
terS, where women agree to prefer
black. Wells with lace edges are re-
garded still as the detail of a modish
toilet, though on the whole, a Russian
net, having a plain gauze band at the
bottom and a series of tiny velvet balls
edging the band, is more of a "haut
nouveaute" than the first mentioned.
Unhappily this season women elect to
drag their wells very tight over the
face and pin them twice behind All
the fullness of the ends is first saith
cred into a small knot at the back of
the hat brim, and then lower down on
the hair the curtain-like folds are
drawn together and held with an orna-
mental brooch. This draws the net
tight over nose and chin. and
though it gives the head an exceedingly
neat appearance. it is very trying on
the Wearer's eyes and complexion
The girl who yearnS after rosy
cheeks has Just discovered that one of
the methods of securing the desired
healthy glow is to avoid the round
garter. In place of the circle of elastic
she now uses a smart ribbed stocking
that has not only an elastic tou. but
gathers snugly about the leg, lust
above the knee, without injuriousIy
COMPRISING the flesh. Into the top OF
the stocking two ribbon ends are
caught, and these, when tied. have all
the ornamental effect of the colored
garter without any of its injurious re-
suits. Still another hygienic contriv-
ance for the woman who is fearful that
constant use of the round garter will
bestow on her a red nose in later life.
is an attachment for making fast the
top of the stocking to the bottom of
the drawer leg. Two buttons on the
drawers and two loops on the stockings
