NOVEL ACCESSORIES
FOR LATE SPRING AND EARLY
SUMMER.
Colored Handkerchiefs - et-StuddG,
Parasol Handles and Automo-
bile Wells.

Colored handkerchief and white ones
with colored borders are the only correct
thing for use with the shirt-waist suit this
spring and summer These come in softest
mulls and linens, in pale lavenders, blues,
pinks, yellows and even in reds. They are
scalloped hemstitched and lace-edged In
fast colors.
All sorts of floral fancies are carried out
in these mouchoirs, but the preference is
for small flowers like forget-me-nots,
daisies and wild roses. These are embroid-
cred in mercerized floss, which looks like
silk in the natural colors.
A parasol fad is the use of jet-studded
handles. Many of the exclusive sunshades
and carriage parasols in all the blue, gray,
pink and lavender shades, as well as the
red, green and black ones show these
handles. Some are curved in crooked e.
feet, others straight, but they are solid
mass of jet the size of seed pearls
The bracelet is becoming more popular,
and it is predicted that two instead of one
will be worn before the summer wapes.
At present the bracelet is worn on the
left arm.
Gold bracelets, which are merely eXag-
gerated rings, are to be seen. Others are
set with the favorite jewels or birthday
stones of the wearer. The bangle bracelet
is also to be seen with chains of tiny gold
hearts dangling from it. The favorite
armlet Is a delicate silver iligreed affair,
which is made by the Indians. 1t is some
times set with large turquoise. A ring
of the same material is worn with this
bracelet.
Necklaces of slender silver or gold chain
have heart or Swastika cross dangling
from the end. The cross is more popular
than the heart, as it is supposed to be a
symbol of good luck. A large turquoise is
usually set in the center of the heart OF
the cross.
A Thing of the Past.
The peacock superstition is evidently a
thing of the past, for not only g:rdles are
to be seen made of sections of the feathers
set in gold frames, but pins of peacock
feathers also are worn. One seen recent
Iy was the tip of real feather, set like
those in the belt in a medallion with glass
over it, and worn for brooch. Another
peacock pin. which is worn to fasten the
collar in a pair to clasp the turnover
cuffs. is less than an inch long and an
exact imitation of feather in gold and
filigree.
Gold or silver cloth slippers for evening
wear with flowers to match, are conSid-
cred exclusive. A pair OF silver cloth ones
had silver orchids for ornaments. These
slippers have a double advantage, as they
do not need to match a gown and can be
worn so as to give the crush effect.
The new automobile wells are more
ornate than ever. An exclusive model is
of lavender chiffon, with an accordion

it falls from the hat about the neck 1t Is

A lavender bow where the veil Is attached
to the hat finishes it.
Another automobile veil is a combine
ton of eggshell blue chiffon and black
lace zig-zag insertion. The latter Is set
in across that portion of the veil which
covers the eyes, and as the lace Is an

but instead of a frill there are long DOW

to the waist line. The veil is fastened on
