in the fields, along the roadside and
on the seashore. The craze for new
art' so-called, has happily passed and
that stage over, all that was good in
II is being used in such work. Jewel
ry is certainly more popular this sea-
son than ever 1t has been, and even
women of wealth are taking to imita-
tions, so cleverly are the designs filled
with mock stones wrought.
Among the inexpensive ornaments
is the abalone pearl, which has caught
the rainbow tints of the sea and its
wonderful opalescent blues and
greens. In it's loveliest shadings 1t
suggests the black opal without the
fiery CLEAN of the gem. AS the aba

as the true artist employs it, its tones
lend themselves to the color scheme
for which he is working as nothing
else can. This gem Is set into all
sorts of hair ornaments, pins, hatpins,
brooches, ETC., and Will continue
among the high favorites throughout
the spring.
For designs, the dragon fly is popu-
