Odds and Ends Around the House for Busy Women
CARVED IVORY FOR
HAT PINS AND EARRINGS

Carved ivory is one of the newest
materials for hat pin heads. and It
makes an especially handsome finish
for the lingerie and other light sum-
mer hats. Great disks, elaborately
cut, are IN favor. and there are the
intricate oriental balls. birds and
beasts and other embems The pins
are expensive. but in beauty and odd
ity will merit the prices they bring
Ivory earrings are another fad Of
the moment. Usually long pendants
of the ivory. carved or plain. are Sc
lected, and these may hang either
from little ivory balls or from a
round dot Of coral or some other col
ored stone.
A third novelty in ivory is a pair
OF fancy pendants on the ends OF a
long chain Of gold or platinum The
chain is flung about the neck and
loosely knotted in front. and the pend
ants hang straight at each side

sale work is coming back in iewelry.

is made IN the shape OF a bird or but
