JEWELRY NOVELTIES.
Odd Stone Necklaces Match Costumes
Now

Artistic novelties for the neck are as
much in favor this spring as they were last
summer, and there seems to be a perfect
craze just now for odd necklaces and styles
that match gowns with which they are
worn.
A model OF this kind of jewelry that is
popular is a slender necklet of gold with
pendant Of colored stones. Many women
buy stock Of these to have one that will
match every gown in their wardrobe.
The newest precious or semi-precious
stone used in these pieces is a pear-shaped
section OF pearl or drops of mother Of
pearl. and as this will not conflict with
the color Of the dress worn bids fair to
come into popularity. The chain support
Ing such pendant is exceedingly fine, as
indeed, are the majority Of these necklets.
A little gold filigree work is attached to
the middle of the chain and one or three
pearl drops depend from it.
Another necklace that will be much worn
Is like thick gold rope. its ends finished
WIN drops, resembling solid tassel Of
speaking, for evening wear than those
previously described. Plump women will
find this rope style very becoming. for the
chain is passed around the neck and tied
once very loosely under the chin, the ends
reaching the bust in irregular lengths.
Longer chains will extend as far as the
seems really to perform its mission, pro-
ducing the relief and all the decoration
necessary.
Dog collars have lost none Of their pop
uiarity, although they are regarded as
more of winter necklace than one for
summer wear. The pink coral dog collars,
barred with diamonds, are extremely eff
fective, although the strands Of pearl so
connected will never go out of fashion.
This Is no reason however, for believing
that such n, necklace may be worn indis-
sallow and the clear white or creamy skin

ivory skin. In this case the whiteness will
be intensified by the proximity Of the
pearls. Given a proper tint of skin, then

sem1-precious stones are preferred to
mock jewels, although the latter in a good

luster will, as a rule, prove far more be-
coming to the average woman than the
ruby, which in nine cases out Of ten actual
ly destroys any brightness Of eyes or COM
plexion, or at the least deadens 1t.
There are some women who cannot wear
successfully even the softest shades of
precious stones, and so this type should
select one Of the quaint necklets of old gold
or indian silver, string of dull amber
beads, or one in pink coral set with dull
gold. So great is the diversity of designs
and colorings in necklaces that the Sc
lection, suiting alike taste and pocketbook,
an must take care that the decoration of
the neck shall be in keeping with the cos
tune.
A string of beads will be appropriate
worn with a plain tailored waist. For a
very dainty lingerie blouse any of the
pretty slender gold pendant necklets, the
stones selected with regard to personal
taste, will be pretty finish, while some
thing along the same line, but more ornate,
will be chosen as an ornamentation for a
gown that Is termed full dress"
