isl lures gift to few women. Never
theless, the up-to date girl is de-
termined to wear the short-sleeved
bodices, and she has resurrected the
bracelet as a happy medium between
brief arm coverings and lanky or I'M
symmetrical arms. This bracelet she
wears on one arm only, either the right
or left, as her choice may be. Grand
mothers heavy gold and cameo brace
lets are being brought from their satin
cases, where they have lain unused so
many years. Jewels, imitation or real
are linked almost invisibly to form a
brilliant circlet, and silver and gold
bands are favorite clasp to break the
long stretch of bare arm between
wrist and sleeve.
Fantastic as many of the new brace
lets are in their design, fat, tight
fitting bands are in highest favor
When of rose gold these bands are deli
cately carved in scroll pattern and
often have the owners monogram or
crest inscribed on them. They are
especially charming when inlaid with
tiny variegated stones. One pearl or
an emerald is sometimes set into these
broad bands. and they are worn half
way to the elbow, securely clasped to
prevent their slipping, and giving the
effect of the old-fashioned bangle. Sill

There is no prettier nor safer meth
cd for carrying a watch than when it
is securely set into a bracelet, which
is usually made of bars of gold or sill
yer, interlaced diagonally, as are the
iron bars of a street car gate. These
bars can be opened wide or closed

bracelet which buckles around the
wrist.
