Rings are worn more generally this
winter than in many years, and women
are not Obliged to cling so persistently
to gloves. In fact even at balls the wear
ing Of gloves is optional. Rings are more
elaborate and snowy than ever. The
most popular design is bulky diamond
affair that reaches from joint to joint.
while an ingenious Partisan jeweler has
sent to this country one of the long rings
with hinges, covering almost the entire
finger. The use of the digit Is not i'm

ance with the movements of the joints,
while the finger is one glittering mass.
Some fashionable women wear the we'd
ing ring only. but the tendency now is
to smother this sentimental jewel in a
riot Of diamonds. In some instances
gloves have been slit at the seams to
displays rings.-New York Press.

hued flowers, glittering crystal, and my
riads of candles. was the piece de resist
ance. A star-shaped piece Of red bios
SONS outlined by red candles in crystal
sticks, rested on q mirror in the centre
of the table. Encircling this were two
rows Of candles Strands of smilax ex-
tended from the edge Of the mirror and
fell over the edge OF the table, and be-
tween these were scattered fronds of
woodland ferns A red carnation was at
each plate The small tables were also
done in red, the candles being the only
Illumination used. Covers were laid for
sixty-eight. An orchestra played in the
corridor during the repast. All Of the
guests were in evening dress. Mrs.
Leonard and Mrs. Thompson both wore
