est fads in rings and jewelry published
in "Gentlemowan," the writer says:
| Rings and their suitability to the
hands that wear them is just now the
subject of serious preoccupation in
|sent forth the edict that they must
in future be adapted to the wearer,s
special shape and color OF hand, and
no longer be worn merely because they
are beautiful and costly articles Of
luxury. 1t is a fact remarked very
frequently that some very pretty rings
appear strangely out Of place on some
hands. and that the color of the vari-
GUS gems do not always appear to
adapt themselves to the shape and COL
oring of the person they adorn. In
consequence OF this sedict French ar
lists and designers are very busy pre-
pairing some lovely cerations Of grad
uated rings which will be specially
adapted to the different fingers of the
hand. and some startling departures
in this direction will. it is said, very
shortly be seen on the slender digits
of the leaders of fashion both in Lon
don and Paris.

was comparatively easy task to dec
crate hat with those large flowers,
which were in style last season.
