This year has lts share Of fads and
frills quite as much as any that are
past and these are used with no small
degree OF art and precision. One
might almost think that the days of
barbarism had returned so wide and
fervld Is the craze for beads, buckles
and bracelets, were Il not for the fact
that each article which Is donned
gains that distinction by reason of It's
harmony or contrast Color plays q
great part In the present sartorlal
drama and the fashionable woman Is
always seeking for effect I'm It's use.
Beads In the form Of necklaces are
worn In all cOl0rs and they are used to
further accentuate some color tone In
the costume. The necklace worn with
the lingerie blouse Is often chosen TO
match the hat and gloves, or TO offer
a becoming note of contrast TO a mono
tone ensemble. A girl of to-day does
not own one necklace but a dozen,
some Of them expensive but the ma
tority costing from 50 TO 50 each.
Some very beautiful shades Of green
and amethyst are seen In these beads,
while amber Is returned to favor with
vengeance.
Among the prettiest necklaces re-
Gently seen are those OF shell from
Honolulu with coloring of wOndrous
beauty. They come In all of the
pastel shades, while the blue-grays,
greens, pale yellOws and old rose are
beautifully combined The shells are
very small and alive with color. The
necklaces are often long enough to
wind several times about the neck.
Hatpins, too, are causing consider.
able interest this year, appearing In
all manner Of fantastic shapes and In
rare colorings. The same idea of
harmony Is adhered to with these
quite as much as in the choice Of
necklace. Those pins with heads Of
amber are considered especially smart
with black hats as we'll as those Of
tan and brown, while almost every
fashionable color may be matched in
hatpins Of crystal or other persuasion
Some very dainty heads of Dresden
china are hand painted and tinted with
the delicate colors for wear with the
white and flower hats.
Carrying out this idea of artistic
adornment are the flowers of soft
satin ribbon which trim many dainty
frocks and hats. The gloss of the rib
bon as well as its sOftness and eX-
quisite Standings give to the blossoms
Of ribbon a rare beauty which is sell

quently worn as bodice decoration in
stead of the real flowers, and while
they prove an excellent suggestion Of
the flowers themselves, they have the
added charm of not crushing and of
being always fresh. A lady of fashion
recently sailing for Europe carried
several beautiful little corsage boquets
of this kind.
There has been a greater demand for
fancy combs and hair ornaments this
year than for sometime past. Head
dressing has reached its height during
the past few years and coiffures were
never more exquisitely arranged. 1t
is small wonder then that the demand
for combs has been so great. Here
the idea of suitability is still followed
and while the comb must be that in
best harmony with the costume, the
little bar or other shaped pin which
holds the stray locks at the neck must
match the comb. These are in all
prices. One very striking and attrac
tive comb seen recently was Of com
position resembling amber. A huge
dragon fly spread its wings across the
top in beautifully shaded metal giving
the effect of iridescence in coloring
The price was $3.50. Another of tor
toise shell mounted in solid gold witt
dainty designs of leaves and berries
was FIVE inches wide and cost $3.50
The fruit was carried out in small
Oriental pearls, the centre one being
a large fresh water pearl. In spite o.
the good limitations which can be had
the real shell is une0uailed for light
