ONCE MORE IN VOGUE
JET AND RHINESTONE ORNA-
MENTs ARE VERY POPULAR.
Revived in Bewildering Designs - An
Effective Combination-Dog Col
lars and Slipper Buckles.

A tremendous vogue has established
itself among fashionable women for the
revival of jet as addition to Jeweled
dress accessories. In its new cuttings this
lustrous bead vies in brilliancy with
many precious stones, it's needle-like
points radiating myriad shimmers of
light.
Belts, buckles, dog collars. neck chains,
bracelets tiaras, rivieres and side combs
are all developed in jet, which for the
moment has quite taken the place of the
long popular tortoise-shell in the ex-
pensive fances of miladi of wealth.
Rhinestones are used in combination with
this black brilliant, and give wonderfully
stunning effects, while for women In
mourning the many accessories evolved
from duh jet are irresistible.
1t is, however, in decorations for the
couture that jet shows to best advan-
tage. especially for hair which is neither
blonde nor brunette, but an indefinite
brown, tinged with red. Side combs have
their tops built from the tiniest of jet
chips forming flower-like effects on a
rounding band. These jet chips glitter
like wee jewels when placed among
Silken tresSes One beautiful set of combs
showed crescent shaped tops done in
small roses, each petal of which was a
thin chip of jet. Clasps for Scolding locks
are shiny bands, plain, except for a few
sharp edges, which give 1t more brill
fancy. Butterfly bows of ribbon are
thickly spangled with jet beads, and
large butterflies are formed entirely of
jet and used in the side of the couture.
TiaraS, made up of seven or eight gar
lands of fine jet chips. and pointed
wreath shaped ornaments stand high up
from plain jet band and sometimes hold
a large rhinestone in the opening of the
garlands. Fine leaf sprays intercept the
jet wreaths A single heart cut from one

Complete berthas of jet encircle a low
cut bodice. At the opera recently stun
ming dowager appeared in a gorgeous
black evening dress, lattice work of jet
surrounding the decollete neck, and from
which hung icicle-like pendants. Rhine
stones sparkled from every crack and
corner of the jet fligree. Her throat was
encircled in dog collar built from eight
strands of brilliant jet beads held in
place by four rhinestone clasps.
For mourning dog collars are made Of
loops of dull jet beads which are Joined
by lusterless strips of jet. One handsome
neckpiece had these strips outlined by
tiny rhinestone chips. SO minute that they
did not sparkle. Less pretentious is a
dainty necklace of jet in diamond shape,
alternating with small pearls, from the
joining links of which dangle pear
shaped pendants of bright Jet
Long neck chains have cubes of jet in
tercepted with balls of crystal, and large
squares of jet form a pendant cross.
These crosses are utilized for lockets and
are very popular for long chain or belt
pendants.
Large colonial buckles show wheels of
jet and are an effective finish to a high
black ~girdle. A huge jet buckle Is a
charming addition to black footwear

velvet, and black velvet slippers can be
