Miss vanderbiirs Flame.

One of the finest jewels that society
has seen in many day was recently
purchased by Miss Gladys Vanderbilt.
At first glance it resembles tiny
ball of flames encircled by an almost
imperceptible gold rim, but on closer
survey it turns out to be convex opal
concealing a timepiece about the size
of dime. So attractive is it that her
masculine friends-and some of her
feminine ones, too-say that when they
see it blazing on Miss Vanderbllts
dress they are inclined to ask for n

Although there doesn't seem to be

rage this summer, and beauty dares to
go about with her plumage suggestive
of weeping skies sans umbrellas. The
uncurled ostrich feather and the Sec
Ond Empire parasol are the latest
Partisan fads, and it is reported the
latter eccentricity is getting beyond
all bounds. Four or five uncurled
plumes are placed across the crown of

cidedly untidy to say the least. but for
some inexplcable reason the more be-
draggled they are the better pleased
