than the jeweled butterflies now made
The brilliant coloring of the insects
is reproduced in many different colorei
stones, and the bodies, less true TO lie
but more effective, are made of opals
or diamonds or other single stones ct
large size. Grasshoppers, beetles and
wasps are also made into brooches
barrette pins for the hair or mounted
for stick pins. They are made of plain
silver or gold. with possibly jeweied
eyes, or set solidly with jewels
A girl who is interested in insects
wears them not only in this form, but
introduces them into her clothes. Bat
terfiies are embroidered on underwear
or inset in lace in the fronts of pretty
bodices, and are even set in lace into
pretty hosiery for the girl who can al
ford them. 1t does not cost as much
to have them embroidered on handkcr-
chiefs. and wasps and dragon flies are
used in that way.
Snakes have been worn for a long
time, and grow more and more reals-
tic. in supple folds for waist grdles
or bracelets, they are given the effect
of scales, which makes them life-like.
At one time they were seldom seen
except in rings and jewelry. but now,
in dull silver or gun metal, they coil
realistically in the center of a purse,
as if ready to spring, outline card
case or form the supple handle for a
wrist-bag. They are used in innumer-
able ways. One of the latest offerings
in snake ornaments is a skin merely
dried, not dressed, to be worn with
any belt buckle. This, however, is al
most too realistic. Lizards, while not
as much worn. are also used for orna-
ments.
Modern girls are not abnormal. and
they do not confine their interest 70
those objects in the natural world
which are disagreeable to their elders.
Birds interest them as well as snakes
and bugs. A girl uses her opera
glasses in summer to study the crea-
lures of the woods and fields quite as
much as she does at the theater or
opera in winter. Perhaps she once
showed this liking for the featherea
her hat. Now she belongs to the Au-
dubon Society and knows better. She
gratifed her taste by wearing JeWeIed
swallows, pretty enameled wild gooss
stick pins, a tiny chicken dangilns
from a finger ring. or chantlcleel
pendant from her bracelet.
Large animals are not omitted III
