BY ROGER Fulton.

Fortunate are the young married people
who must start housekeeping on mot
quite enough" How stupid 1t must be TO
begin the first year of settling down to
live In a ready-made home complete in
every convenience and super-complete in
the Injuries! The man and woman who
want real dining room set and cant
afford il yet" have tasted of the real joys
of homemaking. This state of affairs not
alone furnishes the incentive to make the
purchase possible, but when the time
really comes there is the joyous thrill Of
having the new things brought into the
house and set in their proper places.
Wise young people bide their time until
Just the right thing can be bought. The
right thing does not necessarily mean the
most expensive thing-and it never means
the most elaborate one. II means the
thing that one can stand to live with
and that can stand being lived with. One
must be reasonably sure that II will be
as pleasing to look at after the first year
as it was on the first day; as to wearing
qualifications, it must be blessed with
eternal youth.
In the mean time there is an endless
variety Of clever makeshfts that may be
used without sacrificing either looks or
comfort. II there Is no spare bedroom
one can always have a couch of some
sort in the living room for emergencies.
Instead of a good extension table one
can get on for while with drop Leaf
kitchen table stained brown or painted a
dull black. When opened up this will
seat four persons. A duplicate table may
he used as a sdeboard and be Joined tc
the other one for large company. while
the collapsible cutting table becomes the
sideboard for the occasion. One person
who tried this found IL so satisfactory
that when more prosperous days came the
two cheap tables were replaced with two
large dropleaf mahogany tables of the
colonial type, instead of with an exten
sion table and buffet. These actual sug
gestions, however, may be useful to com
paratively few people. The important
thing is to avoid an accumulation of in
ferior possessions not so much
I'm quality as in Design. Such accumula
tons are easy because of the natural
temptation TO make ones surroundings
appear as luxurious as possible. And
what sins against good taste are commit
ted as consequence!

tious room the writer may refer TO one

JEWELS CHARM THIS SEASON
Rarely Have So Many Beautiful Jewels Been Within
Reach Of Those Of Moderate Means-Eaective Or
naments May Be Had to Match Every Gown

The woman who feels the lure of the
appropriate jewel no longer needs to be
wealthy to crafty her desire or TO main
tain certain standard of fashion. She
needs only the ability TO select with good
last. AdOlnmcnts or rare beauty, to har-
monte with any gown, are now found not
only among the costly ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
rum creations, but also in the ranks OF less
trctehtious productions in gold, enamel
ind stones Pieces of exquisite charm are
found in silver and silver-gilt. and there
ere artistic ornaments fashioned from
sluminum and rhinestones. and pleasing
Eold-nlled articles of all degrees OF SIM
Slicity and ornateness.
There is little radical change in the
styles of the present season from those
Of the past summer and autumn. The chief
distinction is the increased tendency
toward delicacy. Everything in the class
If fine diamond work" has grown more
lscy,. delicate and flexible.
While there is less of the fringed and
Iasselled effects. there is more slenderness
of outlines in pendants. more delicacy OF
treatment in jeweled section for velvet
hand and sautoir, for lorgnon and hair
ornament.
Chains for pendants have grown longer
and more fairylike in construction; the
ornaments that swing from them are
often set with an exceedingly deep CEN
iral stone, thus allowing for wonderful
workmanship in tiny diamonds on the
sides; rings bear elaborate patterns, with
several rather large stones instead Of the
single one of interest. and a fashion has
developed for twin Tings'-one on each
hand Right and left earrings are more
popular the few strands of seed pearls,
graded as to length and swinging from q
bar OF some kind, being a successful
type. Bracelets are worn fitting close TO
the arm, and two distinct types prevail
The bangle. sometimes Of filgree gold,
and the flexible linked bracelet containing
Fapphires, pearls and diamonds Sets
consisting of bracelet earrings and brooch
to match are in demand.
Pearls dominate the whole realm of
3ewelry; and. as in gowns, there is a call
for vivid color. There are also new and
odd features in stone combinations, such
as the application of carved jade to elab-
orate diamond pendants, in which the de-
sign savors Of the Egyptian. and the use
Of seed pearls in intricate motifs, with
large central stones of brilliant color

This is, in theory, no exponent OF the SUI

LORGNoNS AND RIBBON SAU.
TOlRS,

The prevalence of black and white this
winter has brought the ribbon sautoir into
greater prominence than ever. AS a chain
or holder for watch, locket or lorgnon,
nothing could be more satisfactory than
this little ornament of grosgrain ribbon.
1t is also admirably suited to use with
string Of pearls, as 1t obviates the scratch
ing that would result from a chain. In one
of the newest effects the ribbon is edged
with white and the slides are silver.
White ribbon for evening wear is another
new fancy. Plain gold slides-disk. square
or tri-cornered-pearl studded. diamond
incrusted or plated, are now displayed
The lorgnons that swing from these rib
bon chains are quite as varied as the
slides that decorate them. Usually OF
circular lenses, which are considered so
much better for the eyes. they fold BY
means of a spring and have A short,
spindly handle. A new one. following this
general character, is a monocle. obviat-
ing the trouble of opening and closing the
glasses and serving it's purpose of afford
ing a hasty glance at programme or
memorandum.

MESH BAGS AND PURSES.

Among articles OF exceeding useful
ness the wonderful mesh bags and purses
Of the season stand out conspicuously.
AS long as women remain pocketiess
bag Of some sort Is imperative. Hence
the mesh bag of gold or silver is likely
to stay in vogue, as it Is decorative san
itary and convenient. OF course, the
most elaborate bags Of green gold-the
favored one at present-with cabochon
stones at the clasp, beautiful mesh as
fine and soft as a piece of silk. and
pierced and engraved bars studded with
gems, run up into the thousands in price.
A new one of this class has a flap or
mesh that folds over the bar. But there
are similar bags of silver that are quite
as acceptable and have the same beauti-
fully wrought bars and well made mesh.
The preferred size is about six inches
in width. the bars clinging to the slen-
der proportions entirely.
A novelty in this department of jew
elry is the change purse" Of silver mesh
with an octagonal top Of solid metal,
either plain. engraved or engine turned In
stripes. Within this lid is a compart-
ment for powder pun opening on the
outside and having in the inside surface
of it's cover tiny mirror. A chain with
finger ring completes the trinket.

BROOCH RESTORED TO FAVOR.

1t is limited that the brooch in its primal
position in the kingdom Of dress Will be
restored TO favor. OF course, IT has had
a decided prominence recently through
the demand for jabots and bows, but II
is as a bar pin or circle that 1t has been
so well liked. The bar pin remains ABOUT
three and one-half inches In length
while the circles are in all sizes. 1t Is
in the oval or irregular oval brooch, how
ever, that some of the new ideas are evil
dent. Conspicuous among these Is the
brooch of platinum or brilliants, lacy
in construction, resting upon a slab or
milky crystal fully an eighth OF an inch
thick. The crystal extends somewhat
beyond the design and is sometimes
slightly bevelled. One can hardly con-
ceive of the peculiar beauty Of this COM
bina ton without seeing it,
