but embroidered so deftly that only at
close range can it be detected. Fans
of paper Euffles running diagonally
seem quite appropriate for ordinary
use, since it is decreed that the elect
must have a fan for every frock. Mer-
maids figure on gauze painted fans
with mother of pearl sticks, while os-
trich feathers float gracefully above
amber handled ones.
1 have never seen jewelry so much
in demand as now. The jewelry fad is
on, and women are tricked out in it
morning, noon and night. If you'd be
quite up to date, lose no time in pro-
curing a 'lavalliere," which is a slen-
der double chain with two ornamental
ends. Its uses are various. To hold
the Elton coat together it is fine. taking
the place of a clasp. You may either
run it through the buttonholes or
stretch it across the buttons. Twined
within the loops of a lace scarf, it is
graceful and, caught in the knot of a
four in hand, it is monstrously fetching.
Isn't this a utility article for fair? I've
one, and it's beauty. The chain is
dull gold, and the pendants are anne
thyst cubes.
The liking for hearts Is on the in
crease, and the latest within of the sum-
mer girl is to collect them in silver and
gold In fact, these trinkets are recog-
nized monuments to deceased fiirta-
tions, with the gay gallants' mono
grams as epitaphs. A sprig of a girl,
who is a capable musician, is wearing
series of silver wires in bracelet form,
from which bangle hearts a-plenty.
Her preference Is for small ones, with
the deserter's or deserted's birthstone
planted on their smooth surfaces. OF
course that freckled female, the golf
girl. scOrns a bracelet unadorned by
golfing stick, but there's no limit as to
how many she may wear, for both
arms are extended to receive such trite
homage from every man in sight with
the price and inclination. Trelawny
hearts in mother of pearl are the really
chic evidences of the craze. They are
things Of beauty in tinted pearl green,
blue and pale pink or topaz. AS many
as half dozen of them are worn on a
heavy gold or silver chain. To accen-
tuate the fad my chum wears a chain
of big ones, bangle bracelet of small
er size and three tiny ones on a finger
ring. Some are silver inlaid; others are
bracketed in gold. Crystal hearts inva-
riably sport leaf caps of gold or silver,
and these are most attractive.
Fob chains lay claim to distinction
Search the treasure box and get out
your old seal, for that is in keeping
with the revival for old fancies. I've
been given a fob which is not on the
antique order. 1t is made of Cancelled
postage stamps in yellow enamel, from
which bangles a silver globe represent
ing our latest acquisitions and depend
encies.
The newest talisman Is a spider
which might readily be mistaken for
the formidable kissing bug, done in
bronze or enamel. Get one il you de-
sire luck. Without it you are doomed.
Just one more newsy item, and I'll
| quit. Reticules are the ,rage-the real
old fashioned kind, crocheted of eolored
beads, with handsome clasps of gun
metal and FURNISHED gold. You can i'm
agine nothing prettier than these quaint
| bags. The large ones are carried on the
arm. while the smaller ones slip over
the belt. The only criticism l can make
| is my inability to choose from the
| charming variety that tempts my fancy.
/ One OF silver beads showed violets seat
/ tered here and there and a fringe in
which violet beads held q prominent
place. a square bag. with jeweled top
done in cross stitch embroidery. sug-
gested the thought that Aunt Hetty's
sampler of schoolgirl DAYS would fur
nish some clever ideas for renroduc-
( ton. The smartest effort in this d.
rection, though. is the tiny crocheted
/ purse shaped like bonbonniere. II is
silver topped. with a jetted pouch. an
exact fasimile of your bonbon box.
and is to be carried in the hand.
Much has been said of Bernhardt's
/ Hamlet, but nothing OF Calves Ophelia,
which. I understand from one who has
seen il. is simply ravishing. I've not for
gotten. you see. your idolatrous wor-
ship of her Carmen and how eagerly
you devour messages Of her. With af-
