JEWELS A TEST OF TASTE

JEWELS A TEST OF TASTE.
1t takes instructive good taste to
know when jewelry is allowable and
in good form. Very often, however
women. knowing perfectly well that
they are violating the law OF good
tasts, persist In the promiscuous wear.
Ing Of Jewels at all times Of the day.
Jewels, excepting rings, should nev.
er be worn except when the costume
Is ct least semi-dressy. Necklaces AMI
bracelets are most distinctly out of
place with a strictly tailored gown,
although rings are allowable.
It Is conservative to say that orna-
ments should never be worn before 10
O'Clock midday, and 1t is better to
avoid them until after o'clock in the
afternoon. One bangle. or several
plain ones, few rings and watch
chain may be worn at any time, no
matter how early the hour.
Just as men always wait until after
s before wearing evening dress, just
a. no one would ever wear watch
with ball gown. these little laws Of
fastidious fashion are quite UNIVERSAL
ly obeyed.
& Girls before is should never wear
precious stones, unless 1t be one hand
some ring. When school days are over
and long skirts are adopted they may
wear what jewels they see At. provid-
ing they do not deck themselves In q
conspicuous way.-New Haven Regis

to stay at home. parents must make
sslf-denials to entertain them. Most
Of my evenings are devoted to the
children. We read, play games. tell
stories; sometimes have sewing to
do; then i ask them to read aloud
to me. give me words to spell, or
geography and history questions to

they enjoy correcting, and 1 derive
much information. I'VE busy mothers
