Old Fashioned JeweIry Modernized

~ LID fashioned jewelry has become a
| priced possession. Whatever has
been lying away in a departed grand
mothers box has acquired virtue from
the mere fact that it was possession of
two generations previous, and in some
way or another it is to be used.
Many of the trinkets can be worn on
long watch chains as ornaments. Those
old, slender gold pencils, the handles deli
cately engraved and a colored stone sunk
in the end, are prizes to be flaunted at
the girdle of any who finds the ornament.
Lockets have leaped into favor; while as
for earrings they are worn in other ways
than from the ears.
A charming chain has been evolved by
one girl, its ornaments being two old ear
rings made in the form of tassels. The
fringe of each is seed pearls, closely
strung, more pearls being sunk into the
fine gold near the top. One larger pearl
lat the end of bit of gold wire forms a
clapper She uses these merely by put
ting one into each end of a very slender
gold chain which is long enough to pass
around the neck and hang about at the
bust line. The chain has NOS catch, the
whole being tied in one loose knot, which
the pendants prevent from coming undone

Pocket Manicure Sets.

JUDGING by the number of pocket
manicure sets that now are carried
one might imagine that finger beauti-
flying is considered of far more import
ance than is teeth preservation. Hollow
buffers, three inches long, of celluloid
silver ivory, pearl, gold or gun, have
spring equipped lids, which fly open and
reveal case containing a tiny file, cuticle
knife and orange stick.
What looks precisely like the barrel OF
n fountain pen when closed, but which
terials necessary for polishing the nails
is made of black celluloid plain or silver
embossed ebony or enamelled wood. Like
the buffer manicure case, this pen shaped
affair may readily be accommodated in a
change purse, but if nand bag is usu-
ally carried 1t is better to have one of
the nail sets, which come in Il case sized
and shaped like mans pocket match
safe. These cases. made of materials
similar to those used for buffers and
fountain pen barrels, are compactly filled
with manicure scissors, flexible nail file
orange stick, cuticle knife and nail buffer
Finger tip shapers, which now accom-
pany every high class set of manicure
tools, are to be snapped on whenever
the opportunity presents itself. for by this
means, so it is said, blunt edged digits
NAV be made to taper These aids tC
hand beauty, composed of silver or nicke
plated metal and chamois lined, are finger
tip shaped clasps equipped with springs
so adjusted that they may readily be
adapted to the digts of any hand Of
ordinary size.
Los Angeles herald., 1910-06-12

Any of the long earrings that our grand
mothers so priced may be adapted in this
fashion, and absolutely no expense is in
volyed, for the hooks at the top are sim
ply passed through the end links.
Canoes are another favorite of old that
have come again into popularity. Brooches
make beautiful belt buckles earrings may
form the heads of most effective hat pins.
Bracelets of many heads strung together
with short loops may be proudly tlourished
recently done with one belonging to her
eat-grandmother. There are twelve
beads in the band. These have been sep
arated and joined by links, top and bot
tom, a distance of an inch apart. Ear
rings of the same canoes, but couple of
sizes smaller, form the clasp. The whole
is so adjusted as to make n tight collar,
and a very smart looking one it is.
Those old, tight gold bracelets, without
which several generations antecedent con-
lsidered themselves unfinished when dressed
for the afternoon, are highly priced by
girls who are old enough to wear them.
One is not on each wrist, as formerly, but
both together are used, and when the dress
sleeve is mousquetaire the CLINT of yellow
metal among the fulness is extremely
pretty
One girl has taken two very wide ban
giles and had them bent so that they sur
round the neck as collar. Two ends are
clasped together, and the other two just
meet at the back.

realize how important this is. If you are
still going to school you, of course, have
not leisure to attend to your correspond
ence in the morning, but you should FIND
the time in the afternoon, so that youl
reply is mailed on the same day you re
ceiye it. If for some reason you cannot
10 it on the same day you must accom-
plish it on the morrow. Good form re-
Quires that an answer be sent within
tWenty-four hours.
You will not think such promptness
silly" or allow yourself to procrastinate
if you give the matter thought. For, you
see, if all the guests invited to a luncheon,
say. or TO theatre party, or, indeed, TO
anything accept. then the party is com
plete. But if you decline some one is
usually asked i'll your place, and time
should be given TO do this. And II you
neglect to reply promptly you keep your
hostess in suspense, and then, II you
decline at the eleventh hour, it is often
too late for her 10 get a substitute. This
is a selfish and most unkind way to treat
any one who offers YOU hospitality
Invitations must be answered in the
form in which they are sent. If YOU
receive a written invitation from a girl,
even if she is an intimate friend, you
must not run to the telephone to reply.
The telephone is "A temptation, for it saves
the "bother" of writing but it is not
courteous of you TO use it in this instance.
Sometimes in a written invitation the
hostess will say that she would like to
have you telephone your reply. Then OF
course. YOU do so. But the telephone is
not as much used for invitations as was
once the case. for it is so easy to mis-
understand arrangements over the wire,
and frequently the day and the hour are
forgotten when taken in this casual way.
Whether you go about much or little,
You should have an engagement book or
pad. and make it n hard and fast rule
10 nut everything down. Consult it when
any ono telephones YOU an invitation and
at once register your acceptance If you
do accept DO not accept and then 20
about all day or for several days saying.
"Oh. ! must put that invitation down"
and never do anything Of the sort, so that
perhaps after n while you really forget
the eXuct date or the hour, and become
50 altogether hazy about it that you have
to consult your friend TO know when
YOU really are expected.
Sometimes a girl hostess will write her
notes in too much Of n hurry and make

N designing rooms for young girls
| noted decorators usually employ flower
and fairy motives, with here and there
charming suggestions of woods, gardens
and rivers Some of the most charming
designs of this sort are from European
decorators and artists of Importance. The
carpets. draperies and furniture used in
such rooms are all made to order, but al
though this is rather more of an ex-
penditure than most young girls are aple
TO make for their rooms, many charming
ideas NAV be gathered from these ex-
louisite apartments which may be applied
10 less expensive methods of furnishing.
lone very lovely room for young girl
designed recently was furnished in pale
blue and natural maple and white. with
lmarguerites for the decorative motif.
There was maple wainscoting about
lthree-quarters the height of the room, and
above this a plain wall of blue. The
chairs and sofa, of maple, were upholstered
! in blue and trimmed with two lines of
white military braid. The bed was placed
| in an alcove, curtained off with blue linen
Embroidered with a conventional design
of marguerites. The bed coverings were
entirely of white, and over the head of
the bed very beautiful copy of the Ger
man Madonna was set into the wall. The
carpet was of blue, bordered with mar
guerites, and the hangings in similar de,
sign. One side Of the room was given up

glass, which carried out the design of
marguerites, grasses and blue sky.
Blue, rose and white were the colors
used in another most charming bedroom.
The designs were large roses, green
vines and flights of white birds. The
floor and furniture were of oak and the
woodwork and wainscoting of white
enamel. The four post bed was draped
in blue linen embroidered with a deep
border of roses and green vines. Above
this was a group of white birds in fight.
The curtains were lined with rose color.
The bedspread matched the hangings, but
the straight piece around the top of the
bed was of white material embroidered
with roses.
The blue walls had a shallow border of
large roses on a white ground. A long
seat was upholstered in plain blue, while
some of the chairs were covered with
blue and rose chintz. The rugs were
plain blue and the latticed windows were
draped with blue embroidered in roses.

such design and it were carried out en-

Making the Most of Closet Room.

i one is short of closet room a very
good plan is to hang skirts sideways in
the closet instead of hanging skirts,
frocks and coats all fiat against the back
wall of the closet. Frocks may also be
hung sideways, leaving only the coats 10
be stretched on hangers and suspended
from the back wall of the closet. In order
to hang garments sideways it is necessary,
to have a shelf across the top of tha
closet and to screw small hooks on the
under side of this shelf The hooks are
arranged in pairs along the under side OF
the shelf, each pair of hooks being meant
for single skirt or frock. Two loops of
braid are sewed in each skirt band and
two in each frock nj the waist line, ono
loop being hung on each hook. The gar
ments are much more easily gotten at in
this way than when they are hung one
over another Mt the back of the closet.
This method of hanging also permits the
garments to hang perfectly straight, and
makes it possible to store large guam
tity of clothes in one closet, If the closet
is deep enough the coats also may be
suspended on stretchers from the shelf.
This is an ideal arrangement, for it leaves
the closet door free for pier glass, which
is a most useful adjunct to girls room.

Mr.. w, H. Madison has many children

I T is interesting to see girls and boys of
ten follow the men and women riders
in the hunt during the English season.
In this country they are falling into the
way of it and the manner in which some
of these children ride is nothing less than
astonishing. They canter over the ground
on their ponies at a lively gait, scrambling
over walls and bitches, stopping at moth
ing, for a thoroughbred pony is as full
of sport and pluck as a thoroughbred
horse. A pony will take a fence or n
wall almost as high as any horse will
clear, but the pony takes it in a different
way sometimes landing on top and max
ing a jump up and another down instead
Of only one.
A girl rider that can cling to her mount
under such conditions ought to be able
to ride any kind of a horse and many of
them can. The pony's jump is quite diff
ferent in movement and position from
that of the larger animal. As a riding

pony through the medium of the reins.
" Ill girls begin riding astride. 1t is
~ the only sensible way, instructors say
and does not interfere in the least
with a change to side saddle later on il
the cross saddle is not liked.
Small side saddles are not easy TO find
to fit young girls, and besides girls grow so
rapidly that they would have to own a
whole series of these saddles if they were
to start in with them. There is always a
chance of girls growing one sided, too, ii
they ride sideways and do not have a
reversible saddle. Those who prefer the
more conventional fashion ride one day
on the left side and the following day on
the right, thus avoiding the hip enlarge
ment which is sure to result from follow
ing one way exclusively when the rider is
quite young. Even girls who are fourteen
or sixteen have to be very careful about
this one-hip development if they ride side
ways.
Jumping comes after the pupil has
learned to canter and do the ordinary
gates. Hurdles are placed in the ring and
the pony is led to the low bars to make

Improvised Chatelaine.

" RRANGING some of her silver or
IA naments to be especially useful is
u sthe work of girl who has just gone
into mourning and does not wish to buy a
nice black purse bag Considering that
silver was permissible with black in
which there was no crepe, she evolved a
chatelaine, using an oxidized silver chain
oil which to string them.
The chain was one that had been used
for keys by the departed relative, and, in
order that the cable it represented should
be formed into hook, the girl removed
the original fastening and substituted u
small silver slip ring, through which each
end of the chain passed. Then it re-
NAMED only for her to put on a silver
card case, which depends from short
chain of it's own; IL silver coin purse, a
tiny box of the same metal, in which she
carries powder puff, and II silver backed
ivory memorandum tablet.
In her card case she keeps such of her
money rs is in bills, the coins, of course,
going into the tiny purse. When she
wishes to have the case for its original
purpose, in the afternoon, she has only
to open the slip ring and off comes the
short chain.

" \ attractive little bag for spools OF
A sewing silk can be made from two
short lengths of ribbon of different
widths. The narrower ribbon-ahout
an inch and a half or two inches-is
sewed to one side of the wider piece
about five inches long-folded up against
the wider piece and then at intervals OF
about an inch and a half the two pieces
are Joined firmly together by horizontal
rows of feather stitching. Each pocket
thus mare between the feather stitched
rows is for a spool of silk. The
two nieces of ribbon now joined together
are next stitched to a firm foundation OF
cardboard made by covering two disks
with ribbon like the rest of the bag. These
two disks, one forming the lining, the
other the outside of the bag, may be first
glued together, although If neatly sewed
the result will be more satisfactory. a
band of wide silk binding sewed about the
ton of the ribbon, leaving an inch or so for
ruffle, through which a ribbon or silken
cord drawing string is run, is the last

If a box is preferred to a soft bag for
the stray spools of silk it is generally
possible to secure round cardboard box
of desired size that can be covered
with silk or chintz the correct color to
harmonize with the hangings and paper
in the room. A bag or box set aside
for the extra spools will be found the
greatest possible convenience to turn to
whenever there is a rip or tear to be
mended. But this box should be of size

- iris who are beginning to get
about a little in the semi-formal
way permissible before they are
really "out' should take great
pains to study social obseryances
and be apt and ready to conform
TO social laws, not only because things
are thus made smoother sailing for them
selves and their chaperons, but because
they win the approval of onlookers by
so doing.
Many do not realize it, yet it is never
theless true, that we are constantly under
surveillance of one sort or another. At
home our elders are watching us, and
frequently the younger members of the
family are observing, either to initiate or
TO condemn. There is nothing that will
better keep a conscientious girl up to a
high standard of conduct than the realiza-
tion that younger sister looks up to her.
Of course no right minded girl wishes TO
be held mp as Il pattern Of all the virtues
And if she is SO foolish as to consider
herself so, she is a prg, her consciousness
of virtues destroying their value and max
ing her an object of dislike.
Perhaps nothing so prejudices one girl
against another as TO have her held up as
a paragon. A mother sometimes says to
a daughter Gertrude is such a model girl
Why can't you be like her?' Thereupon
daughter hates Gertrude" and flies to
the naughty extreme of making herself
as unlike her as possible. One may say
this should not be. Yet it is and always
will be. For human nature is 50 CON

invidious comparisons. Above all, com

separately and not be all jumbled in to-
gether Care must be taken also to fasten
each end of silk on the spool before plac-
ing it back in its bag or box among it's
fellows or else disastrous tangles will in
evitably result.
Instead of only two pieces of ribbon of
different widths being used to make the
bag described above it may be fashioned
from the lengths of several pieces of diff
ferent colored ribbon each an inch and a
half in width. These ribbons are either
overhanded or feather stitched together,
the pieces for the inside of the bag being
but two inches in length, while for the
bag itself six to seven inches must be
allowed, for the ribbon being used in the
length will thus have no selvage for the
ruffle at the top and must be turned in
and neatly hemmed. The idea in the DIFF
ferent colored ribbons is that each spool
shall fit in nest of its own hue-whte,
| pink, blue, mauve, green, yellow, &c.
To make the pockets for this bag the
ribbon need only he turned over at one
end and fastened down along the border
! the required two inches. At the top the
end of the ribbon may also be hemmed
down and then feather stitched about an
inch when the hem is fastened thus,
doing away with the silk binding through
which to insert the ribbon strings.

these rainbow bags will prove exception
ally pretty. The model, of course, may
be improved upon and elaborated with

is an excellent one to start with.

less they are given lessons in tandem rid
