II you are not afraid Of taking the world
into your confidence about the date of your
birth gently hint to some OF your friends
that a birthday hatpin is the thing of all
others that you most want. 1t Is the
smartest and newest thing of the moment
when made of q gold dollar that was
coined In the year of your birth. 1t should
be surrounded by bri!Iahts II your birth
stone ls no; too ugly to stand the. contrast.
To mortals who have been fortunate enough
20 reach earth in the months beloved of
diamonds. rubies or sapphiTes this gift has
not only a sentimental but an intrinsic
value. These pins are favorite presents for
the summer brides. and many lucky own
ers of tie birthday gifts are using them as
hair ornaments. y stunning brooch for the
girl who claims the pretty name Of Mar
guerite IS another jewrled novelty. In this
case the mUCh-used daisy design Is used,
carried ont in such manner as to lose all
its Couuouplaceness. Tho daisy In this pin
has each petal formed from a single pearl,
each one perfectly matched. In the center
sparkles a tiny diamond. The value OF such
a name pin IS easily appreciated when one
takes into consideration the time and money
spent IN selecting the pearls. Jewels and
lace always associate themselves in my
mind ara either of the pins described would
add a charm If fastened in the meshes of
one Of the lace coats Illustrated. Both OF
these coats are of heavy lace put together
dentelle.
Popular Silk Coat.
Nz.-rel-Lued pongee or tussore hand
socrsly embroidered or braided in self tones
makes a chic and serviceable little short
coat of the picturesque sort and occasion
ally one finds coat of this kind with
touches Of green and black or of bright red
and black relieving its neutral tone.
The pongees are used, too, for the long
coats and Capes, not only In the more Sc
we're models intended for motoring or trav-
cling. but in the gracefully draped cloaks
for dressier wear. A wrl-known importing
house is exhibiting attractive model in
Japanese blue pungee. made IN sweeping
cape lines, but running up at the sides to
elbow length, with three deep plaits across
the arm at the elbow. The silk Is turned
back about four inches. all along these side
openings, showing a facing Of black sup
pie satin. The fronts are faced with black
satin and long. wide scarf.
A Novel Fad. -.
One OF the newest aids to beauty Is the
perfumed cap This is an elaborated copy
of the olI-fashioned nghtcaps worn by our
grandmothcrs and is extremely tasteful in
design. being of silk in any color and trim
med with dainty, flmy lace.
Appearance however. is not its only vir-
tue. Cunningly concealed in the intrcacy
of It's makeup is tiny receptacle for scent
and when worn it imparts to the hair
clinging, subtle perfume.
The cap should be worn all night. but put
on few hours before dinner its virtue will
last the evening.
Rage for Velvet Ribbon.
Velvet ribbon was never used so thor
oughly before. Little knots of velvet, tiny
bits of chenille, narrow satin bands and
small velvet choux are used for the adorn-

other seasons.
Parasol Novelties.
New parasol shapes are almost without
exception supplemented with immensely
long sticks. the tops taking all manner Of
fanciful forms. in some instances of an
pathological description. With simple
dresses. however. the plain stick appears
to be the favorite. A very attractive nov
city for a sunshade was illustrated by
