Diamonds rubieS and emeralds for
evening wear are cut TO the shape for
which they are required. and set so not
an atom of gold is visible. The very
best style of mounting is on an invisible
wire or thread of platinum.

Harper's Bazaar says that Russian
betting is used not only for belts but for
collars. Some of the prettiest belts are
extremely narrow and fastened with buck
les that are set with colored stones. tur-
quoise or amethyst being the favorite.
These belts are not expensive. excepting
when the buckle is unusually fine. and
are worn with almost any sort of gown.
They are not nearly so costly as the jew
eled girdles finished with gold and silver
tassels that trim some of the elaborate tea
gowns. On one tea gown that is very
deliberately made of lace and brocaded
satin. but which has not tinge of color
is a girdle made of seed pearls. twisted
like a rope. with tasselS of the pearls.

on the left side The yoke and collar are
of lace. on which is embroidered an odd
design in seed pearls. but excepting on
the collar and in the girdle there is no
pearl trimming whateyer Pearl passe

pearls and lace embroidered with pearls
are used. as has been said. on these tea
gowns. and pearls are set in the buckles
that fasten the belts. Sometimes four
or five handsome buckles will appear on
the same gown. As rule. when buckle
is used ON the girdle il is put at the back
but this is not a universal rule. The
butterfly bows that decorate the front of
SO many waists are often fastened with a
big jeweled buckle or slide. and sashes are
caught at the back with one instead OF |
being tied.
