The Presidio hop last Wednesday

tomary zest that has come 10 be part
of every festivity at the post. The
dinner party given by Captain and Mrs.
Adams for Miss Kathleen Scott, daugh-
ter of Major and Mrs. w. S. Scott, was
the event of the evning. before the
dance. Mrs. Adams Is charming host
ess and the enjoyment at these in
formal dinners has become proverbial

afternoon this week for Mrs. Scott, the
wife of Major Scott, who is a newcomer

This is a hint to the woman who
thinks seriously that her neck is a bit
thin and in consequence lags behind
the fad OF the moment. Although the
French woman has adopted the collar
less gown and revels in It's comfort, she
is nevertheless unwilling to appear in
public places with the neck quite un-
adorned. She. therefore, relies upon
her veil to fill all discrepancies. and
she ties it up high on the brim OF her
hat, leaving many folds under her
chin Such wells must be very wide,
but when they are bought in Paris they
always are. Let us insist upon the
same.
The revival OF the ear pendant has
been brought about by the recent pas
sion for the artistic, and also by the
fact that there are many professional
women who give up their lives TO
making their clients look their best
at all times and in all places.
To attain this end the expert will
bring to her assistance every device
yet discovered. She will recall the
fllet of ancient gems. the dangling
jewels of Cleopatra. the heavy girdle
of Judith and the long trailing skirt
first worn when Marguerite of France
was the fashion dictator at the court
of her royal father.
But the sudden popularity of the ear
pendant was made doubly certain by
the advent of the hat with the turned
down brim. This strangely shaped af-
fair makes some dangling ornament
necessary for the hat hides the hair
and most OF the features; SO. unless a
pendant jewel marks the position of
the ear there might be some doubt
as to whether this important feature
exists. Furthermore, the long. straight
lines of the empire and directoire may
be wonderfully emphasized if a long
pendant hangs on either side of
mllady's face. It seems to 1engthen
the line from forehead to chin and to
make the face appear oval when it
may be somewhat too round
Ear pendants, for all these reasons,
are important and it is well worth
while to discuss for a moment their
shape. size and construction. as we will
elsewhere on this page.

and although the combination sounds
perhaps a little outre. the effect is very
good.
