There 10 no doubt that earrings are once

vow that they will wear them again,
they will come around to il II the fad at
tains considerable proportions. Not only

earrings are considered especially chic,
and during Horse Show week m the first
week Of opera several notable women APP
peared with such long earrings In their
ears.
They are becoming 10 some faces, but
nave not even that advantage in other
cases, and the bizarre ideas being exploited
in Paris are not likely to find favor with
women OF fastidious tastes. Rejane, for
instance, has been wearing long earrings

pair has the black pearl next the ear and
the long drop OF white pearl. The other
ring reverses the positions Of the black
and white pearls. This sort OF thing,
though acclaimed by Partisan critics a.
