 The up-to-date girl is a peripatetic ''zoo." She wears animals and insects of all kinds in her jewelry and trinkets. If she is college girl she Is an enthusi- astic student of biology, and clever en- tomologist. She kngws the history of the development of the lowest forms of life and the habits and conditions of in- numerable members of the insect world. But with all this she is a healthy, un- natural girl, fond of pretty things to wear. Naturally she delights in the fad of the hour. Her chronological studies, says The Washington Star, have not led her into making collection of the in- sects themselves, but she has a small fortune invested in the quaint and beau tiful things that the jeweller produces in this line. She could cover the front of shirt waist with them and wear them dangling from her fingers, her neck chains and her bracelets. She could be a walking natural history museum.
 Nothing is more beautiful in jewelry than the jewelled butterflies now made. The brilliant coloring of the insects is reproduced in many different colored stones, and the bodies, less true to life. but more effective, are made of opals or diamonds, or other single stones of large size. Grasshoppers, beetles, wasps and spiders are also made into brooches, barette pins for the hair or mounted for stick pins. They are made of plain sil- yer or gold, with possibly Jewelled eyes or set soiidly with jewels.
 A girl who Is interested in insects wears them not only in this form, but intro duces them into her clothes. Butterflies are embroidered on underwear or inset in lace in the fronts of pretty bodices and are even set in laceeinto pretty hos iery for the girl who can afford them aUA tory 4hs.,.. embroidered on handkerchiefs and wasps and dragon flies are used in that way
 Snakes have been worn for long time and grow more and more realistic. In supple folds for waist girdles or brace lefs they ale given the effect of scales, which makes them lifelike. At one time they were seldom seen except in rings and jewelry, but now, in dull silver or gun metal, they coll realistically in the centre of a purse, as if ready to spring outline a card case or form the supple hendle for a wrist bag. They are. used in innumerable ways. One of the latest offerings in snake ornaments Is skin. merely dried, not dressed to be worn with any belt buckle. This. however, is almost too realistic. Lizards. while not as much worn. are also used for orna- ments.
 Birds interest the modern girl as well as snakes and bugs. She now wears seReltd swallows. pretty enameled wild goose stick pins. tiny chicken dang ling from a finger ring. or a chanticleer pendant from her bracelet
 Large animals are not omitted in the girls geological collection. Elephants heads are beautiful in gray silver on belts or stick pins and they vie with snakes and little tigers In ornamenting the edges of expensive purses and card caEes France sends us many things of this kind. One quaint clasp shows two rams standing back to back their heads bent. forefeet in the air and hind feet forming a point on the lower part. A buckle like this, made of silver. will cost $10, and is not dear.
 A bat with spread wings of dark pearl s realistic with his diamond eyes. and is effective at the front of a high dog collar for the neck. There are brooches showing hunting scenes, with horses and riders with pink coats set in gold in the form of whip, dogs heads and horses heads in natural colors under glass, and in gold. silver or set with diamonds.
 Domestic animals are growing in pop ularity, and the cat is frequently seen. Black cats are liked as mascots, and have entered the lists with the fourl-eafed clovers and little pink pigs as luck bringers. Pussy is also seen in black and white in a brooch, or curled up on a fan, and she sits in full figure or stands with arched back upon parasol handles.
 French poodles are popular for this same use. and there are heads of other dogs. elephants heads and birds, some parrots being as large as life.
 There are lions, tigers. bears. donkeys pigs. horses with carts and without monkeys and innumerable other animal: in tiny trinkets for bracelets. chains and rings. An old fashion has been renewed in the two buttin' kids" a band bracele with rams heads on the two ends.
