English jewelers. are making a spe-
cialty of sporting and military designs
In jewelry for both women and men,
and the fashion has It's followers here.
One may get dainty horseshoes Of dia-
monds, hunting horns Of gold, running
foxes of gold and jewels, hounds,
hares, hunting whips, golf clubs with
pearl balls and ribbon bows in gold,
pheasants, partrldges and almost
everything else suggestive of ones IA
vorite pastime, even to the trout enam-
elled in natural colors, or the perch,
salmon or pike. Swords, daggers, tiny
cannon and revolvers are worn by
many young women as souvenirs of
brother or lover in South Africa or the
Philippines
The ''constancy bracelet" which is
locked on the arm Of one while the
other keeps the key, has never gone
wholly out of fashion since it's intro
duction, nobody knows how long ago,
and is having a renewed vogue in all
its pristine ugllness. Some designs
are graceful and artistic, it is true, but
as rule they are suggestive OF mana
cles more than anything else.
A fashionable cardcase is of monkey
skin, shaped like an envelope and dec
GRATED with jewels. In the majority
of cases the "jewels" are merely col
ored glass, although the workmanship
makes the article expensive, but some
times real amethysts, turquoises and
other stones are used In gold settings,
and then the cardcase becomes =. fit
ting gift "for a queen" or an Ameri-
can princess. The envelopes are
fastened by removable jeweled studs.
With evening costumes Of black lace,
net or other diaphanous fabric Of
black dog collar of jet passementerie
is a correct accompaniment. The ex-
pense varies with the method of cut
ting the jet paillettes or nailhead orna-
ments.
Belt buckles vary in size from two
to four inches, and the oval seems to
be the favOrite shape. Enameled
buckles are the latest cry of fashion,
and their exquisite coloring and bril-
liant polish make them most desirable
additions to a modish toilet They are
usually of filigree and the designs
show tiny birds, horses deer and
other fancies from the animal king
dom, or one may have flowers so per-
feet in form and tint that they almost
seem to grow. At the back Of the
belt snake may be worn, whose en-
amel scales and emerald eyes might
startle one into believing it real, or
lizards, tOads and turtles may cling
apparently to the waist.
1t has been decreed that jewels shall
be worn. and 1t is whispered that even
earrings are to be taken from their
deserved oblivion. But they will be
worn with difference. No longer
shall the barbarous piercing be re-
sorted to- Screw shape drops, studs,
hoops all are arranged with 'clip and
screw that fasten them securely. The
women who can wear diamonds will
wear them. Alas, the women who can.
not will wear imitations That is the
horror of 1t. Spurious gems will scin-
tilate on the corsage, sparkle in the
hair twinkle in the ears and fash
upon the neck Oriental barbarism Of
splendor will reign for a season-then
well-bred women will return their
gems to their boxes and once more re-
serve them for night display.
The craze for jeweled effects has
reached even sllpperdom, and all slip
pers are decorated with buckles as or
nate as in the halcyon days of paste"
ornament. They may be small, they
may be large, they may be brllliants
or turquoise, but buckles there must
be of some sort.
