for her tea gown is pretty sure OF
securing something modish.
Easy to Spend 500.
A charming set of buttons showed
a panne silk taffeta background, upon
which were painted clover leaves, the
familiar four-leaf clover spray being
the favorite. Another set OF buttons
was covered with brown panne vel
vet, upon which there were pink roses
painted. There is no limit to the sub
jects and their execution.
The Fifth-avenue woman who or
dered set of buttons. consisting OF
only six, and who paid 500 for the
set, is only one of many who are WILL
ing to spend money In that manner.
One can easily pay 500 for a set or
blue crystal buttons set with rhine
stones. Or one can pay 500 for
set Of white crystal buttons set with
turquoise. One can let the cost mount
UP well if one is looking for a chance
to spend ones money that way.
But the little woman who wants to
look pretty on little can get along with
a set costing. say 81 for six. And with
these she can accentuate cuff or
trim a rever with the most satisfac-
tory results.
The negligee has reached the skirt
and jacket stage. And it is really very
good form to wear a pretty silk petit
coat with a little silk jacket. Or one
can wear the silk petticoat and a hand
somely trimmed jacket of silk flannel.
A woman who entertains great
deal at luncheon-preferring that
from of entertainment to any other,
for it is one that pleases the ladies
most-wore at a January luncheon a
handsome silk petticoat made of onion
skin colored taffeta. 1t was trimmed
with rows and rows of silk put on In
scallops. And between these rows
there were rows and rows Of Valen-
ciennes lace. The lace was white and
the ruffles were of a deeper shade Of
onion skin, making a very pretty
skirt. The cut was tight on the hips,
with the fashionable petticoat flare
around the knees.
The jacket was made of white al
batross, prettily trimmed with silk ruff
hes to match the petticoat. A little
white lace yoke with necker attached
was worn inside the throat OF this
jacket.
Jewelry with House Dresses.
With the negligee it is not very good
form to wear strings of beads nor a
great deal of jewelry. But one can
wear bracelets. Indeed, these are worn
with gowns both for day and evening.
for it is a year OF bracelets. The slen-
der gold bands are worn. and also the
wide. old-fashioned bracelet. which
fastens with clasp and is held by a
little gold guard chain.
There are two styles Of bracelets-the
very wide band with the clasp and the
narrow rims Of gold. which are slid
upon the arm and which are pushed UP
and down to make them set gracefully
and becomingly. From ten to twenty
of these narrow bracelets are worn, and

long ago. when bangles were worn by
every woman.
There are Egyptian bracelets. very
stones. These are clasped around the
arm, and a wide band to- match is
fastened around the throat. This is one
of the latest fashionable fads. Although
jewelry is not popularity supposed to be
part of a negligee. it is perfectly allow
able to wear these ornaments around
the neck and wrist.
If the gold chain is worn let it be
tiny and let there be something useful
fastened to it, such as the silk reticule

with a tea gown or with a negligee or
with a jacket and skirt.
