Gold Beads Coming
Into Their Own Again

Gold beads are in fashion. Old strings
that have not been worn should be
brought out. and II tarnished they can
be frightened by hot soapsuds or a
good silver polish.
The newer beads are larger than the
old ones, some the size of a small mar
Bile. These are not in good taste.
novelty is the string of alternate
plain and chased beads Sometimes the
entire string is of incrusted gold ones,
but they are hard to keep clean.
A collar effect made of rows of small
beads is becoming to the girl with a.
slender throat. One of the new designs
has nine rows, each bead not larger
than an ordinary pinhead.
Gold beads are not especially becom-
ing worn next the skin, so they would
be used to brighten a dark gown rather
than for a decoIlette frock.

~ RANK was a very pleasant little
r. boy most Of the time; he never
forgot to remove his hat when
he met a lady or when he en-
tered the house.
But he found fault at the table about
his food and his mother was worried
for fear this fault-inding habit would
grow upon him and he would become
a disagreeable man, for, of course, no
one likes a person who finds fault
