Winter Rosettes

dry stalks and empty seed pods. wav-
ing sadly in the November wind. The
rich Iuxuriance of the florists shop
in filing boudoir, hallway, and ball
room. and the bright gypsies Of out
doors are almost forgotten.
II you are taking a walk across brown
fields and through barren woods. look
closely at the ground as YOU go; stir
aside some clump or dead leaves. and
ike as not you will find a winter ro-
sette- The daisy. the dandelion. the
mullen, the violet, and many others
form these peculiar rOsettes, with their
leaves, at the very last breath of au-
tumn; and so they live all the winter
long. The leaves are lying fiat upon
the ground. seemingly protecting the
roots beneath. and retaining a dal
green ali through the season of snow
and ice and bitter cold.
Lift. for instance, daisy plant from
this winter bed Garry it home care
fully. and, after removing the roots
that are in the way. place it upon q
white linen, laee-bordered centerpiece.
The delicate tracery OF the daisy
leaves, in their circular design. is out
lined prettily against the white. Tuck
In between the leaves bits OF cotton
sprinkled with diamond dust; and there
you have a winter rosettet This is a
most novel winter decoration for the

search an hour or more and not IND

Camp Reunions
Fascinating Gathering of Young Folks,

Fascinating Gathering of Young Felix's
A LOT of girls who were camping
/ ~ together last summer have in
| - stituted series Of reunions
which are a fascinating depart
ure from the usual thing.
Everybody was asked TO come TO ons
IN camp clothes, which meant fire
mems" shirts, short skirts, and sweat
ers. The hostess lived in the country.
so that it seemed perfectly natural.
when everybody arrived promptly at
O'Clock. TO propose a tramp oxer the
trail"
This walk had been carefully planned
to be reminiscent Of the favorite walk
at camp over a tiny brook they
passed, and stopped for a moment be-
side pond % made Of a tin washboiler
With horseshoe hanging on the side,
and pointed out by the hostess (who
acted as guide as Horseshoe Pond
After climbing a slight incline, which
the guide explained was a mountain.
they arrived at q rustic summer house.
into which everybody crowded Outside
II were logs arranged as for a camp
hre. which soon blazed up, and over
which the supper was cooked
At the start-off, everybody had been
laden with packages, and with what
pies. When the packages were opened.
all sorts of good things came TO light:
and as the girl who presided over the
campfire was a born cook. the party
was delicious
OF course. everything was served on
wooden plates and II tincups, exactly
as it is done in camp. or the times when
you go of for long days with as little
baggage as possible TO interfere with
rapid progress.
A pretty touch was given by what
seemed to be a little clump Of ground
vine. which resolved itself into tiny pots
OF it,. set IN wee 5aTdinieres made OF
birch bark. aTtistically stitched with
green raffia.
And another time they met in a cabin
"a quaint place kept Tor Just such gath
erings. which was an adjunct of q coun-
try club. There, at the great fireplace.
the cooks of the party ousTed themselves
producing all sorts OF appetizing things,
and around which they all SAT and ate
and told stories IN true camp spirit.
These were only two OF the reunions,
and only a glimpse at that But every
moment was occupied with something
characteristic of camp life; and at the
same time everything. in spite of its
primitive style, was eloquent OF the
element OF daintinsss.

jewels are old as time, but
there Is ever something new in
their arrangement and the par
ticular fashion in which they bedeck
vain human beings. One Of the most
beautiful novelties OF the season IS the
star sapphire. a single stone about FIVE
eighths OF an inch in diameter. set in
platinum and surrounded by diamonds.
II IS the pendant on a necklace. and dia-
monds are set at 2-inch intervals along
the platinum chain. This stone is ex-
ceptionally odd II is a rather duh
lavender in hue. and its peculiarity lies
IN its having six slender white bands
that radiate from It's eenter- They are
light effects Of some kind, and move as
the stons Is moved.
Among the bracelets there are those
with the secret locks. which are open
ed by the insertion of pin point in a
tiny hole Some OF these are made in
plain polished gold and some are hand
chased They have settings of rubies
and diamonds some OF the former being
heart shaped. One new and unusually
handsome bracelet IS OF antique gold
with a huge opal set in the top. The
claws to hold the stone in place are the
petals Of lotus flowers. The rest Of the
bar is perfectly plain. The design is
distinctly Egyptian and instantly brings
TO ones mind pictures OF some beautiful
dusl1y Nile queen.
Some bracelets are antique chains
with many odd links Of peridot tourma-
line. chrysoprase dull green). opal.
