diamond tiaras worn freely In the
evening, and by women OF the best
type. But then the tiara of today DIFF
panion of yesterday.
The newest diamond tiaras are real
~ like large combs. They are rarely
high and the favorite form Is tina
known as the Greek bandeau. This is
q broad. rather nat, shape which Il
worn we'll forward on the head eno
which looks. az have said. more like
a large comb than tiara It IL PAR
ticularly becoming shape to women
who are possessed OF small heads. and
It 10 very useful since it can be worn
on almost any occasion without at
tracing undue attention. ~
Then the present rage for necklaces
and ropes Of pearls IL becoming seri
GUS affair. It Is essentially q pearl
season. Women think nothing ct ap.
pearing at the opera wearing four and
five ropes Of magnificent pearls hang
ing low over their bust; and these
ropes, when real. are of very great
*alue But then 1t Is not every one
who possesses ropes of real pearls.
The result Of thisFfs that q vast guam.
tity Of artificial pearls are now worn
In the evening. and by women Of good
position. r
FashIon's Within Deplored.
This 10 pity. Real pearls are love.
~ things which seem to become rart
Of their owner. They seem to be alive.
It is certain that they change in color
and that they are affected by the
health Of those who wear them. Milk
white pearls have always been associ.
ated with beautiful. ultra feminine,
women; it is a thousand pities to
make them common.
have lately noticed that diamond
chains ;sare again fashionable. those
long ,thin chains Of clear set stones
which give ripple Of light on the
front Of an evening dress. For sew
>eral years past these diamond chains
were not considered correct.
Another novelty in the jewelry world
Is the fiat plaque which used to bear
the name Of stomacher. This is an
important looking ornament which lies
across the bust and gives majestic
appearance to the figure. Some of che
queens of old used to wear these elab.
crate ornaments on state, occasions,
but it has been left til modern womep
to make the fashion an ordinary one
have seen large e!omachers in dia.
monds or in diamonds and turQuoises
worn with quite simple dinner gowns.
The result was good, IT must be ad.
mitted Nevertheless l am of opinion
that this tendency to overload the per
son with jewels ought to be checked If
possible. There ought to be wide
gulf between the ornaments worn at a
court reception and those worn at a
fashionable theater
Among the weeks novelties l must
record the quaint little race nantes
of tussor silk embroidered in Japanese
fashion. with floss silks. These man.
ties are very loose and vague in de-
Fsign and they can be pulled on ovef
the most elaborate corsage with the
greatest ease.
A lovely model has very full sleeves
finished OF with plated frills of beige
colored net, and the tussor surface lie
decorated with irregular flowers
worked in black and white floss silks
At the neck the mantle closes tightly
to keep out the dust and there is i
tour de cou Of plated net similar to
that on the sleeve frills.
Tussor. deliberately Embroidered.
Another wrap Of the same order,
also composed Of tussor. had EN-.
broideries carried out in dull blue floss
silk. tipped with black This wrap
was very voluminous and In front it
crossed from side to side. being fas.
tened by two large buttons of blue en-
amel. The lining Of this latter wrap
was Of shot gauze which showed tones
Of blue and mastic.
Another novelty IL the scalloped
shoulder cape, made of Indian muslin
for wearing with linen suits. The seal
lops are worked over with embroidery
silks and very often the cape Is edged
under the scallops with a plated frill
Of tulle. Shoulder capes of all kinds
are becoming more and more fashion
able as the summer season progresses;
as Ditch as not the cape is finished on
in front with an immense loose bow
of net or tulle.
Long tulle sleeves. finished with
wide frills, are also popular novelties.
These sleeves are worn with the new
sleeveless boleros and they are almost
transparent
