Newest Jewelry Fads
Are Dainty and Pretty
Tiny Designs Of French Gilt or Rolled Cold
Are Of Exquisite. Finish. -.

Could anything possibly be more dain-
ty looking than the newest fad in sum-
mer jewelry3 Imagine brooches, shirt
waist and collar pins-also hat pins
entirely of Irish crochet lace in the
most fascinating of tiny designs, as
wee roses or buds on cobweb Of a
background The foundation of the
various articles is of French gilt or
rolled gold, the lace being laid smooth
1y over. A set of three pins for the
collar or, in fact, any neck dressing,
consists of long bar brooch, with
pointed ends, and two small pins to
match, the latter securing the collar
in the back. The long bar is used for
holding the tulle bow, the jabot, also
the bow of Irish lace that is worn SO
much at present, in place under the
chin.
For outing hats generally, as well as
the daintier lingerie hats, there is no
prettier finish than the Irish crochet
hat pin. \ tiny medallion of baby
Irish may be bought, and any hat pin
having a fat head will answer for the
foundation. The motif should be lit
tie larger than the head of the pin, and
all that is necessary is to gather the
edge Of the lace, set the head in and
then draw up the thread, using quite
strong one.
Of course, if one understands lace
making the medallions may be worked
at home A tiny rose could form the
center and the usual background stitch
surround it until the desired size Is
reached. A single daisy suggests sec
ond design.
The large, fat. black glassheaded hat
pins should make an effective back
ground for the Irish crochet if one
wishes black and white effect and,
speaking of these tones, the jewelry for
more formal wear this summer will be
exclusively black and white-a comb
nation of black gros grain silk and
rhinestones set into sterling silver. One
must really see these exquisite trinkets
before their beauty can be appreciated,
for written description fails to con-
vey any idea of their possibilities in
the way of accentuating any toilet
with which they may be worn. For
instance, there is an ornament about
the size of halfdollar called plaque.
This is first covered with black silk
and then with filigree of silver. It
is to be hung around the neck either
with black ribbon or a silver chain,
as preferred. Then there are brooches
in both the conventional and the natu-
raj howknot of black ribbon, all edges
finished with a setting of the tiniest
rhinestones. These are the prettiest
things imaginable Other designs are
heart shapes and butterflies. the wings
of the latter picked out with the mock
diamonds and the former decorated
with fligree of the stones.
Long chains are returning to favor
with a rush, and it is quite difficult to
keep the supply up to the demand.
Knife silver is the newest metal for
chains. although other kinds, as plati-
nun, French gilt, gun metal and ster
ling silver are all selling well, because
people who can afford to do so are buy
ing chains that will harmonic with
different gowns. The French gray and
knife silver are practical, if one can
only make a single purchase, and, of
course, entirely new as we'll as very
smart. The latest designs show links
of imitation semi precious stones, al
though there are plenty of chains en-
tirely of metal, fancy links appearing
at intervals.
With the return of the long chains to
favor there is revival of the string of
pearl beads for the neck, and a fancy
for the Varogue pearl as setting for
jewelry. Bars of these pearls are ex-
ceedingly fashionable as brooches for
