Odd Jewe1ry.
Jewelry in Paris is an ever present
temptation, and a walk down the Rue de
la Paix is enough to tempt a miser to
part with some of his treasured hoard.
The nouveau art craze is dying out and
is being followed by more classic style
of ornament. With the return of the ell
bow and three-quarter sleeve a demand
has sprung up for bracelets, and Partisan
jewelers. have for some time past been
busy with new designs Narrow bangles
or single colored stones set to show no
setting at all are much admired These
are generally made of one kind of gem.
Some jewelers. faSten six or eight such
bangles together with a diamond clasp.
other novelties are ornaments for hats
made of real gems, which show to great
advantage when glittering in the sun
shine against dark background. EN-
pire combs for the hair are exceedingly
smart. "A beautiful example is of OPEN
work floral design formed of turquoise
matrix surrounded by blister pearls and
silver leaves. These blister pearls are an
invention of the modern jeWeler which
will be very much appreciated. Spanish
combs of tortoise shell inlaid with gold
and silver are much sought after and are
lovely. In the new pendants there is
decided leaning toward early French pat
terms. A dangle just finished for a woman
of exquisite taste is composed of dia-
monds with a platinum chain passing
through ring set with a square-cut en-
erald, finished with two pear shaped
pearls with diamond leaves and single
pearl of great beauty in the center.
Another charming neck ornament is of
dull gold set in the center with a large
black pearl. Two white pearls of differ
ent sizes and two diamond drops are sus-
pended from chains. Even hatpins turned
out by modern machinery and costing not
more than dollar or two are of charm
ing design and works of art in them
selves. CATHERINE TALBOT.
