Nothing is more firmly intrenched
in the feminine heart than the long
neck chain-always an addition to a
corsage-a pretty toy when deftly
handled, and attached to an opera-glass,
fan or watch it becomes useful as well
as beautiful. In it's early advent
simple gold chain was considered charm
ing; next came small pearls or diamonds
dotted along at intervals NOW, however,
the most expensive ones have stones
of such size that their security must
be assured by a gold wire around
the jewel. In addition the gems are
set at smaller intervals; in short, the
costly chain flashes with brilliant light,
or when pearls are used, its quiet
elegance charms the refined taste.
limitations are endless, ranging from
$1.50 to $500 or $4,000. Very pretty
jet chains may now be purchased for
$1.OO and coral Gmitation) or turquoise
beads for S1.50. A heavily jewelled
chain in the after 'sNew Year sales
retails for $1,000 In brooches the
horse shoe shape leads. but generally
made of small pearls. 1t does not admit
of great variety.
CRESCENTS OF PEARLS
with tiny colored enameled leaves at
the centre are lovely, and often the
leaves are frightened by ruby or dia-
mond sparks. Enameled flowers in
clusters, or in open-leaf shape are no
less attractive, these, however, are no
novelty. One large jewel clrcled by
smaller ones, or tiny stones placed
together in heart-shape still remain
in favor. Circlets also are too pretty
to pass out of style, and combina-
tions of leaves and seed pearls, or
sparks, sometimes make selection a
puzzling matter. Large gems in a
row are the latest fancy in bracelets,
and as several different kinds may be
employed, the effect is very novel.
Jewelled combs are somewhat on SIM
liar order, but turquoise matrix, or a
comparatively inexpensive stone, is
used.
wINTRY WEATHER.
destined to continue for months to
come, renders the subject of furs spec
tally interesting, and in view of c. e.
Shaynes January reductions, and even
more by his established reputation for
reliability, judicjous purchasers now
invest not only in fur garments, but in
those dainty accessories that are an
essential part of every Well-dressed
woman's outfit Certainly there is no
lack of variety in the tempting display.
Persian lamb jackets, with mink or
chinchllla revers, small Persian lamb
shoulder capes, with the long, fashion
able ends: mink and ermine or seal and
ermine capes in similar style; very
small or large chinchila capes; to say
nothing of fluffy boas of all grades, flat
or round mutfs (the handsomest with
an ermine band at the centre) or less
expensive sets at proportionate prices;
all may now be purchased at a lower
figure than would have been possible
earlier in the season.
NEW FANS
show very large flowers painted on
gauze, with tiny spangles at the edges, or
sprinkled over them in dew-drop fashion.
This style, however, is one that will not
probably survive single season. The
ordinary spangled gauze fan remains
proof against all changes, not unfre-
quently with lace edge by way of va
riety Lace fans throughout are very
attractive and when having deep lace
edge, small figures at the centre bring
about contrast. The possessor of a
handsome feather fan need give her
self no concern about fashion, as they
are standard.
WHITE OR BLACK GLOVES
are universal for evening wear, very
long, usually twenty button length.
Black patent leather shoes cannot be
dispensed with; and strapped from the
instep to the toe is the newest fancy.
A second style has about half the straps
on a ''ly' that buttons over at the side.
Beaded slippers claim their share of
patronage, either black on black or
black beading on white. Bronze slip
pers never lose favor, and white or
light t-hued satin slippers are preferably
finished by chiffon rosette.
