PARIS, Marc0 Il, l9Uo.
That there is nothing new except what is
forgotten can be most conclusively proved
by the present modes. Like the minSHng
of races which has produced such splendid
types, the interblending of the best fashion
developments of all nations and eras has
resulted in the stunning and beautiful COM
posites Ia mode is showing this spring.
In spite of there being no absolutely new
theme in the symphony of style, the varia-
tions are very alluring and satisfying.
There is a certain keynote that is always
struck at the beginning of each season
which catches the ear of the public. This
note is heard in it's fullest and best at the
Auteui races, where the mondaines of the
stage and la grande danes from the So
cial heights are seen Sunday afternoons
gowned in their newest creations.

When Hands Are White.

AS to rings, many or none should be
worn. .u
An exquisite hand requires no jewels, but
the charm of one less perfect in shape. IL
it be white, is enhanced by blaze of gems.
The stone which makes white hand look
even whittier Is the emerald.
The turquoise, "ceruleous like unto a
serene heaven,' may be worn to advantage
on a hand less clear in color. If worn in a
ring of gold, this stone will preserve one
from harm. This virtue is not in the gem
unless it has been received as gift.
A narrow gold band Is much more be-
coming to the hand than a wide one. This
perhaps. accounts for. the present fad in
wedding rings. The broad, solid band has
been relegated to the realms of the past,
and in its place the curtain ring" is SUBJ

AVOID SPARKLING GEMS

Written for The Evening Star by Katherine Morton.
Jewels, if beauty would be enhanced,
must be worn with regard to color.
Highly colored gems-rubies. emeralds
and sapphires-do not look well with any
shade of red. They are not for the malo
or matron with Titian-hued tresses, or with
hair that is frankly red
If eyes are dull Go not make them appear
more so by putting sparkling diamonds near
them. They detract from the briiilancy OF
eyes and teeth. This applies also to rhine
stones
The pearl is, of all precious stones, the
likeliest to soften the face Another stone
which is equally becoming is the opal Inc
stone called tonkinoise. which Is pure
blue deeper than azure, makes salloW
skin several shades lighter.
Bracelets always set off a handsome hand
and distract attention from an unattractive
one
Massive bracelets are fads of the mo-
ment. They make slender arms appear
plumper and overfat arms look more shape
ly. because of their weighty suggestion.
Bracelets are quite as often fashioned OF
silver as of gold. One Of antique silver,
set with topaz, is a favorite style at pres
ent. Indeed, topaz in every shade, from
pale straw color to deepest yellow, Is in de-
mand.
Coral, which is the brunette's own, is also
mounted in bracelets of antique silver very
deeply set, like gems riveted In the Droad

gushing mark of a coral bracelet Whlcn

One of dark blue enamel, thickly incrusted

In earlier ages the bracelet was worn by
knights and gay cavaliers as badge OF

Young mother who goes through hours
of pain and suffering wonders why it was
not possible to prepare in some way tor
the baby's advent, and to avoid the
agony that seemed almost unendurable.
DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescription Is the
one medicine for women which prepares
them perfectly, both for the burdens and
pleasures of maternity. It prevents the
morning sickness from which so many
women suffer. 1t strengthens the whole
BODY, so that there is no nervousness nor
anxiety. It promotes healthy appetite
and causes refreshing sleep. 1t gives the
mother strength for her trial and makes
the baby's advent practically painless.
Healthy mothers have healthy children,
and it is the general testimony of those
who have used Dr. Pierce's Favor1te
Prescription as preparative for mother
hood, that the children were healthier
and happier than those born after
months of mental misery and physical
anguish on the part of the prospective
mother.
