feminine way, instead of being ON the

Even the street skirts are now made
with fiaring fiounce or pleated flounce
with side pleats and box pleats much
more often than in the once popular
plain gored pattern. Coats and Jackets
are rarely now finished only with
simple satin or silk facings but are
more or less elaborate as regards the
trimmings.

fashion still holds sway with outdoor

shown are called "Oriental banquet
rings" and they are immense in size
They are made of Roman gold, and the

for the setting is about the size of d

One of these rings has n mounting
in the shape of a cross, about an inch
long. This is set with precious stones

shape of n princess ring, and is studded
