lar is much liked for wear with every
day flannel bodices. 1t gives them Il
! tailor-made air. and this is desirable in
practical dressing.
The newest linen collar is turned over
nj the top with lace insertion set in.
A very dressy neck arrangement is a
stock of cream-tinted satin with revcfs
Of gold lace put on mOusseline de sole.
The long ends Of moCsseline are finished
with pieces Of gold lace. and a medal
lion Of the gold lace confines the stream
ers just at the end of the revers.
Another velvet ribbon tie is made into
n rosette that fas;ens at the collar, the
ends. half way down their length.
punched into another rOsette. with the
strCamcrs that fall to the waist tabled
with gold.
\ very striking and dressy little piece
has a stock Of black velvet edged at the
top with 4 band Of gold braid. There
is a black velvet bow made with sev-
eTal loops fastened at the front. with
pointed ends of gold. Back of the vel
vet bow is Il jabot of lace that is spread
Out quite over the front Of the bodice.
A very simple tic is the one Of velvet
ribbon about an inch or an inch and a
half wide. drawn through a gold ring.
The ends of the velvet are sewn over in
to points and on these are fastened dia-
m~ond-shaped pieces of gold.
No doubt but the rage for the gold
tabs as a finish TO all sorts of ends will
put IL into the busy brain of the jeweler
TO stud the finishing pieces with rarest
Of gems in a short time. but as yet femi-
ninity is ~contenting itself with plain
gold. which is elegant enough for any
purpose.
Over the shoulders Of evening gowns
there are velvet and ribbon bands, and
all Of these are finished with golden
tips. There are rosettes and bows on
bodices. at the sides of skirts, and, I'm
fact, everywhere where there is the
least possible excuse for a decoration
with flying ends. for the gold tipping
must have ample chance to faunt itself,
and the more bows the more ends, and
the more ends the more gold tips.
Speaking Of Jewels, the cry that has
been heard for some time that earrings
were to be revived is at last uttered
with truth. Earrings are here again.
The ear. however. does not have to be
disfgured by putting a sharp needle
through the lobe. for the latest earring
clasps the pink tip. ever so firmly, to be
sure, though it will not disflgure II. The
new earring is round and rather large.
II is fastened on the ear so that It goes
close up TO the face.
Sapphire is the popular stone. This is
a gem. however. that does not show off
TO good advantage after lamp light. and
the woman who has n collection of the
finest sapphires manages to display
them at some afternoon affair, where II
Is good form 10 wear Jewels. There are
muff and fan chains set with sapphires,
and the clasps of po~cketbooks, card
cases and so on-in fact the sapphire is
about as frequently seen as was the
turquoise a few months ago. The round,
heavy gold bracelets. which are still
much in vogue, are set with large
sapphlres and are very handsome and
rich in effect.
There is a new idea in evening gowns
of yelling, the jewels and spangles that
decorate them. The net that is dotted
over with spangles or embroidered with
jewels is hung over the silk foundation,
and over this is put 4 semitransparent
silken fabric that merely allows a sug-
