tainty Of this. In one model OF silk and linen
ecru batiste the entire upper part Of the
skirt is one OF open work embroidery on
the same material. Hemstitched plated
f~ounces complete the skirt made, like the

The bodice is a blouse with inset motifs
Of lac and embroidery, forming circles.
The sleeves are plated, and inset with
the lace and embroidery in the same de-

Revival OF the Precious Stones and
Fancies Connected With Them.


Now Is the DAY OF the ehl-preclou
stone. The new art Jewelry Is introduce
ing women to jewel stones whose names
they never before knew and to many
other stones whose names they know only
in vague association with the Book OF the
Revelation.
As a result, stones long desplsed nave
risen greatly in value and the search for
them is more profitable than ever before.
Amethysts once more find favor. Aquama-
rine, tourmalinc, chrysoberyl, topaz, as

Of other stones are steadily gaining popu-
larity.

stones, n for the sentiment jewelry, pref
erence is usually given to the latter, even
when the matter of cost need not be con-
sidered.
The Greek Zes, meaning 'Mayest thou

There is no love word, no sentiment,
that cannot be figured out In stones, and,
In the hands Of artistic workmen, the odd
combinations are wrought into things OF
beauty, II one is willing to pay the price.
A simple and attractive working out Of
this same idea is seen in lunches Of polished
stones set in tiny gold ~cirolets and swing
ing loosely by little chains from a central
gold ring. One Of these punches of charms
shows a golden beryl, an opal, an Divine,
a diamond, lapis lazuli, uralian emerald,

dens the heart. The beryl insures hap
piness and p~rotracted youth.
Jasper gives courage. Topaz wins
friendship and constancy. Tho catseye
warns Of danger and trouble. The moon
stone guarantees good luck, and so the
list goes.
A noted jewelry firm In this city has, In
consequence of the new interest In the
subject, looked up all the sentiment and
superstition connected with precious stones
and gems and has a boob stocked with such
lore. for the aid both Of purchasers and
designers.
Not only the meaning and sentiment Of
each stone is noted there, but to help on
jewelry symbolism. with each months
birthstone is given the zodiacal sign, the
birth flower. the special Apostle, the
guardian angel. and his talismanic gem.
For example, the mortal born in January
has for jewel the garnet: for zodianal sign,
Aquarius; for special Apostle, Simon Peter;
for guardian angel Gabriel, whose tails
manic gem il onyx. and for flower the snow
drop. All Of these facts may be woven
into one symbolic piece of the new jewelry.
and there's no denying that there il some
thing exceedingly interesting and attractive
about the fad.

broidered bands Of silk while plain stitched
silk bands trim another gown OF gray cloth.
Cream zibeline forms another costume
trimmed with fine silk cord In brown and
white. A pretty simple costume In bis
cu~it-colored cloth shows a trimming Of
embroidery on white silk n a hounce
with graduated godet plsits around the
skirt.
Simple gowns for morning wear are
being made Of linen in the medium heavy
quality, and here Is a model with the new
short skirt which just clears the floor.
Stitched bands are the trimming and they
may be of the same. or IL the linen Is in a
color the bands may be white stitched with
the color.
More dressy linen gowns are made over
ecru lace like the Inst model carried out in
n soft green linen in bands over what is
practically a lace dress from the neck TO
within fifteen or sixteen inches Of the hem.
Lace certainly never was so generally en-
ployed on all kinds Of material as 1t In at
the present time, and there Is every kind
Of lace to suit every fabric.
Real laces are In great demand by those
who can afford them but there is a pro-
fusion OF machine-made laces which are
quite as effective. You see all sorts Of COM
binations Of lace and embroidery, oom-
binations Of different meshes and stitches
in one pattern, both OF which add greatly
to the variety.
Twine-colored guipure with embroidered
medallions Of white batiste is one very
effective trimming on a mode-colored
batiste gown. Open work effects Of all
kinds are assured already as a distinctive
feature of our summer gowns.
