M0DISH WOMEN ARE NOW
ABANDONING CLOVES.

Much jewelry Is worn in full dress this.
season. 1t Is actually the fashion In Paris.
and, therefore, It is becoming 50 here, to
wear large ring on every finger-two or
three rings on some Of the fingers! This
obviously renoers wearing gloves out Of the
question. and the smart Parisienne goes to
dinner and the theater gloveless just now.
1t really looks very nice ard brilliant.
Rings are particularly satisfactory orna-i
ments. tnasmuch as one can enjoy the
beauty Of the gems oneself. Tiaras. brooches,
necklets. and the rest one sees only with
the imagination when they are decoratng
ones own person; but the fires Of the opal
and the sparkle of the diamond and tha
rich depths Of the ruby's color on the finger
give genuine pleasure to the wearer The
fashionable ring Of the hour is not the point
ed ''Marquise" shape. but either a round or
q wide oblOng shape. the latter usually con-:
sisting of three rows of gems. A round
ring. such as good ruby set with diamonds,
looks particularly well on the forefnger.
We have not yet adopted a thumb ring. but
perhaps we shall; why not? The signet rings
Of the ancient Egyptians. am told, were
always worn on the thumb. Two centuries
ago rings were worn outside the gloves, ana.
that is the only alternative to being glove
less when SO many rings are worn as at
present. ii.
