Jewelry set with the semi-precious
stones will be worn, but all settings
should be large and oriental in des-

this class is the amethyst, and it or
its imitation is worn in many ways.

popular than it has been for some
time Bracelets will be worn as long
as the long glove is worn and it is
also seen with the short glove for
that matter. Sometimes two are worn.
Belts are of kid or of linen or silk
as formerly, but those made to go
with any dress are shaped to the par
ticular figure. Those of linen will
still be used, but new decoration
is seen in the use of soutache braid
in cotton. 1t works on we'll and

and novel designs in collars, belts
jewelry and other articles of personal

New York shops.
The round turnover collar is as
fashionable as ever for some kinds
of waist, and there is a penchant Just
now for striped collars, the stripes
running up and down the collar 1t
is very high, but all collars are
high at present and those of fine thin
materials are held in place by tiny
supporters that carry the points high
behind the ears.
A new collar intended for a young
girl, or one who has kept her plump
freshness of youth Of neck, is of the
low turnover style slashed into tab
ends, which buttons tightly to the
waist A color tie passes under the
tabs and is knotted in front. This is
a pretty style for linen dress.

of ribbon and plaid silks, as well as
the tab ends of lace and embroidery
and silk
