NEW OLD JEWELRY.

=
 In priceless jewels the fashions may change but little from year to year. But in those curious and beautiful devices wherewith we fasten our belts. our boas our collars and our veils, there Is always something new, and the fashions in these ornaments this season are a distinct ad- vance over previous invention, says an exchange.
 They are very new. and yet they look very old-as old If they had been un- earthed in ancient ruins. Some are even slightly blackened and tarnished to carry out the mellowness of this idea. They are rich in subdued coloring. like bits of old brocade. rare pottery and old yellow lace.
 Designs run to Egyptian winged figures, old crosses, and graceful, weird lines sug- gestive of that much overworked phrase, ''the new art.'
 The automobile hat pins are so pretty that even the horseless carriages can't afford to miss them. They will pin other hats, fur collars. or what you will. They are long clasp pins. with exquisitely col ored dragon flies mounted on the bar. A typical collar pin is a tarnished bar of dull gold. clouded with the merest sug- gestion of color and set with a few old sems
 As for the crosses, everybody Is going to be wearing one. They are of amethysts, sapphires, rubies or gems of amber hue as large as your thumb nai set in old silver, dull gold or metal as ancient and blackened as iron. Some of them are four inches long. and they will be worn on necklaces or swung from long chains.
 Last winters gold bead chains are sup planted by strands of fine gold from which are suspended jeweled pendants. Or entire chains are made of these gilt tering glass gems.
 In hatpins the newest head Is clear, light blue stone, the size of a cran- berry, set in silver. Clair Bleu" is the French name of this acquisition to gem mockery, which Is supposed to be a rela- ton of the sapphire, lacking the lat ter's transparency and depth of color
 Straight from Paris is new pocketbook made to be carried in the hand by two fine leather strips. like a dlmnutive hand bag It Is the size of an ordinary pocketbook and card case combined, and H. fully finished green leather, but Is dupl- cated In scarlet and other colors.
 The newest hand bags. by the way, have these two fine leather strips for handles. NOTES AND PERSONALS.
