A novelty TO be introduced the coming
season is phosphorized silk, so called be-
cause the surface has phosphorescent

the panne and IL is highly effective.
Changeable striped and broche panne is
also shown.
One new fad is a tiny mirror in an en-
amelled locket that is worn on n long
gold chain. At the side of the locket Is a
pretty design, generally with figure up
on It, then when the slit opens the mirror
is disclosed.
Buttons promise TO be very fashionable

steel, gold, crystal, jet. mother-o pearl,
as well as a combination of steel, gold
