IN C0LORS
NEW JEWELRY MOSTLY SHOWN
IN BLACK AND WHITE.
MountIn9s Made Especially Fine and
Delicate Evening Gowns Span
pled With crystai-Amber
Has Much Vogue.

The gorgeous [ .oring Of the sea-
sons costumes IL reflected In the
newest jewels. A difference Is roted
too between these and last win.er's
jewels In the mountings for the plat
mum work, which is much finer and
more delicate In design.
There are two opposite modes In
the matter Of color In Jewels, Just as
there are IN gowns, The first Is a
decided vogue for black and white.
The black and white note In gowning
ia echoed In jewels by the popular
ity Of crystal and Jet.
Necklaces Of large Jet links and
pendant plaques Of Jet are worn with
gowns of white velvet or silk bro
cades, and in no wise Ia the polished
Jet considered a jewel for mourning
wear. There are wonderous new We
ming gowns spansled with crystal, and
others with sequins or Jet, and with
these are worn Jet or crystal Jewels,
the Jet sometimes inlaid with pearls,
while diamonds are embedded in the
crystal ornamental.
The range OF color shown by the
enamels and semi-precious stones as
well as the gems IL practically end
less. Every stone 10 brought into play,
and such combinations as jade and di
Almonds and coral with pearls are
seen.
Handsome carved deep green Jade
Is used In necklace Oriental In form.
The central panel Is an oblong shaped
plaque, from which are suspended Ave
pendant strings of large diamonds.
each ending n a cube of Jade. This
motif Of square suit jade Is repeated
throughout the circle Of the necklace
when diamonds In groups Of four al
terpate with Jade cubes.
Amber is having an unprecedented
vogue. The smoked variety In open
work settings is very striking, while
the deep, rich tone Of clear amber
is set of to the best advantage to
m~ountings OF tinted gold.
Red enamel and diamonds form a
beautiful necklace intended for wear
with a Besnard red gown. 1t has
three rows OF diamonds held In place
by enameled slides that are framed
in tiny diamond chips, and three pend
ants in elaborate design OF red enam-
ell are intersected and overlaid with
diamonds.
And then. In entire disregard to this
mode for vivid %colorings, Is the per
sistent fashion for the u~nassuming
pearl above all the bright hued gems
it holds first place.

Simple night gowns are those certain
to be wanted for the little girls. This
one is pretty, too, for the fronts are
tucked and it can be made from any
dainty material. In the larger ~illustra-
ton, the neck is cut to form a V and
is finished with an over facing Of the
material ~scalloped. Such a finish is
always dainty and pretty while it does
not mean any considerable amount Of
labor. For mid-winter we.r, the long
sleeves are sure to be comfortable whether
the V-shaped or high neck is chosen;
but mid-winter is often the season during
which summer underwear is made and
the gown made with short sleeves will be
satisfactory for warm weather use. There
are only shoulder and under-arm seams,
the opening being cut at the front and
finished with facings. The sleeves are
just full enough for comfort and, when
long, they are finished with pretty cuffs
For the 8 year size, the gown will require
81 yards Of material AZ, 3 yards SO or 25S
yards "A inches wide.
The pattern 77o5 is cut in sizes for
girls of 4 to II years. 1t will be mailed
to any address by the Fashion Depart
