JeweIry Novelties
Make Their Appearance

Among the little novelties in iewelry
that help to give an exclusive and very
alluring finish to the toilet are the finger
rings that now serve more than one pur-
pose. and that purpose not the usual one
of adorning the finger.
The glittering marQuise ring OF dia-
monds, the thumb ring with its one CEN
trail antique jewel. the ring with Its stones
arranged somewhat after the manner OF
q Maltese cross in short. the ring that is
noticeable for its size as we'll as its ar
tistic setting Of jewels. is now seen as a
center decoration of the fiat velvet bow
that finishes the blouse or as an ornament
of the equally modish bow of tulle; black,
white or blue as may be preferred.
The ring is simply slipped over the how
and practically answers the purpose of
the old ia shioned tie ring men used to
wear.
stones are colored. and some women are
having their rings set with stones bearing
the colors of their national fiag-red. white
and blue for instance-and are using them
for the decorative purpose of slipping over
the bow.
It is a good idea to wear a slender
chain of gold round the neck. to which
the ring Is first attached. in order to
avoid any danger of losing the ring from
the bow.
on hair pins and are worn as decorations
in the evening coiffure. Two diamond
rings are arranged at the head Of the
tortoise shell hair pin. and are fixed on
q swivel in order to give them the effect
of looseness.
The fashion Is a pretty one. and many
women who are almost burdened with
rings are finding the vogue useful. as they
are able to wear their treasures in differ
ent ways.
The fancy for wearing plain fiat gold
bracelets above the elbow, from which a
charm is suspended. is also another fash
ion that suits some women. The brace
lets are copies of the gold anklet or
slave bangle. and bring into prominence
the beauty of a well rounded arm and a
dimpled elbow.
they must be worn just above the ell
bow. and not below 1t, or the whole idea
of piquancy vanishes
Couture ornaments that serve two pur-
poses are those which can be converted
into brooches. and two favorite designs
are the bird incrusted with sapphires and
the dragon fly with iridescent enamel
wings and jeweled body.

BY THORNTON w. BURGESS.

Johnny Chuck came running up to the
edge of the old brier patch quite out OF
breath. You see he is so round and fat
and roly-poly that to run makes him
puff and blow. Johnny Chuck's eyes
danced with excitement as he peered into
the old brier patch trying to see Peter
Rabbit.
PETER. Peter Rabbit. Oh. Peter!' he
called No one answered. Johnny Chuck
looked disappointed. 1t was the middle
of the morning and he had thought that
Peter would surely be at home then lie
would try once more.
.Oh. YOU Peter Rabbit he shouted. In
such a high-pitched voice that 1t was al
most squeal.
"What YOU want?" asked sleepy voice
from the middle of the brier patch-
Johnny Chucks face lighted up Come
ont bere Peter. where l can look at you,
cried Johnny. ;.
Go away. Johnny Chuck! I'm sleepy.
said Peter Rabbit and his voice sounded

Chuck, but Peter Rabbit interrupted him.

Chuck in triumph. sure now that Peter

Johnny Chuck could hear him begin to
hop along one Of his little private paths

was aroused. and he smiled to himself.

Little Journeys Into
the Fashion Land

The consummate test of taste in dress
is a lively sense of tone values. Cut and
style are all less subtle questions than
this. Indeed, a great many women hard
ly know that the point exists, while they
are yet instinctively guided by its sem
sations
The consideration of tone involves the
instructive feeling that a dark thing
seems to have greater weight but less
mass than light one. 1t looks frmer.
stronger and more structural Touches
Of dark material upon light give an ap-
pearance Of make while white or
light touches suggest decoration.
Every woman knows that white is try
ing'-that is. its lightness Of tone throws
the darker tones of flesh into strong re-
lief-contrast not always supportable.
Our summer whites are mostly modified
using a material which holds shadow as
well as light.
The Relief of Whites.
The eye. however, accepts white much
more comfortably than pale color unre-
Iieved or wrongly judged. A whole figure
of one pale tone may look cool and bright,
and will certainly be conspicuously visible
and generally decorative in crowd; but
considered as a single figure the eye will
seek for relief in variety Of tone. and just
lip take the eye in face. the points OF
contrast will arrest the eye In the figure.
Should the Dress as Is sometimes the
case be of the same general tone as the
face, neck and hands, the faintness of
effect becomes saltless to us. and we look
instinctively for some merciful marking
to rest the eye upon In this mass of
monotone.
White relief with light colors is better
than nothing. and any darker touch must
be, of course, used with the most judi
cious care.
Striped and patterned materials may be
tonally pleasant or very much the re-
verse, and to take a lesson from natures
book absolutely symmetrical and formal
patterns are abhorrent.
Nature as a Model.
For example, very famous French
dressmaker now dead. derived his Gre
ations from birds, and the perfect taste
OF nature always dares the redeeming
contrast in it's most whole colored flower
bird or beast. Witness, for example, the
ermne's tail.
Hair. eyes and complexion are the
points upon which to build up a tonal
scheme, and these satisfactorily arranged
for those touches Of decorations in flow
er, ribbon, button, lace or trimming are
the points Of consideration.
Above all the effect should never seem
wearisomely regular in mass of tone, a.
danger far greater. with light toned
of more somber degree.

PETER RABBIT HEARS THE NEWS.

looking face out from the old brier patch
and grinned rather sheepisly. What was
that you were saying about Reddy Fox:
he asked again.
i've a good mind not to tell YOU. Mr.
Know-it-all," exclaimed Johnny Chuck.
''Oh, please. Johnny Chuck. pleaded
Peter Rabbit.
Finally Johnny gave in. Il said thai

Peter?"

DIGNITY.
BY Ruth Cameron.

''Ah. the huge porringer of popularity. .Tis
fine to sit in front OF It, but what scaldng
you catch when it is overturned d.'-Daudet.
Dignity is one of the qualities which
helps win popularity. Many people may
disagree with this. but it is true, never
theless.
BY dignity" I don't mean stiffness.
haughtiness or aloofness. l mean self
respect, high mindedness, unwillinSness
to cheaper or lower ones self, in a word
dignity"
We never really like any one whom we
look down upon.
Some author, it seems to me 1T is Barrie.
but am not sure, tells of a minister who.
whenever he was invited out to tea. used
to relate so many funny and foolish
stories about himself that those who
afterward. He was probably seeking for
popularity in thus making fun OF himself.
but because he went too far and impair
ed his own dignity he missed his goal.
Respect is part Of any true popularity,
just as it is the foundation of real love
or friendship. We are willing to laugh
at people who lack dignity: we will even
seek their company for time; but we do
not admire them. and we do not desire
them for our most treasured friends.
OF course. dignity must not be con-
strued in too strict sense. A man or
woman may be as genial and jolly and
informal as you please without losing an
atom of dignity. An unexpected caller
once found Abraham Lincoln down on the
floor playing leapfrog with his children.
but he did not find his President lacking
in true dignity. True dignity is some
thing deeper than that. 1t is the kind
Of fine self-respect which Lincoln had and
could never lose. no matter IL he did do
iuf or nnexDeCted things.
Respect yourself and others will respect
you and what is more, will probably
like you If you do not have other qualities
that prevent it.
No one can tell you what true dignity
is If you don't know in your heart. II
YOU do not know what dignity is and do
have it, this may serve to remind you
of its value, and to assure you that 1t is
worth cherishing IL you care for popu-
larity.
