The Wearing of Jewels.

The Empress Josephine was noted as a
well dressed woman. 1t is said that she
had the same allowance that Napoleon's
second Wife Marie Louise, later had, and
that both these royal ladies patronized the
same dressmaker. But Josephine always
looked better dressed than Marie Louise
One of the secrets of Josephine's dress
ing was simplicity. She always dressed
in white muslin, and when a great state
assembly of men and women in velvet
and silk and gold and jewels was gath
cred together, Josephine would enter the
room, dressed in white muslin, and wear
ing single jewel And a hush of ad-
miration would fall on all the gayly clad
courtiers present.
Josephine never wore but one Jewel at
a time, although she loved them and had
so many that they would not all get in
the large jewel cabinet which had be-
longed to Marie Antoinette. But Joseph
inc understood the value of wearing only
one. so that one would shine out in all
It's glory.
Modern women might well take the
taste of Josephine as guide for their
own taste in the matter of jewels.
The hand that is laden with rings con-
tanning a dozen different stones is not
half so attractive as the hand that is
decked out with stones of only two kinds
And when jewels of one sort are worn In
the hair. another sort about the neck, and
still others on the arms and fingers, the
effect loses force
Certain stones can be effectively COM
bined Diamonds look we'll with almost
any other stone. Pearls can be safely
worn with most other stones. And occa-
sionally stones of two strongly contrast
ing colors can be worn together.
But remember that a single jewel, care
fully chosen, is more effective than half
dozen picked out at random.

BERLIN. October 80. 1919
The American colony in Berlin is an
ticipating a brilliant social season under
the leadership of Ambassador and Mrs.
Gerard, owing to the statement by AM
bassador Gerard at the farewell dinner
to Consul Thackara that in future the
American embassy would be the social
headquarters of the American colony.
In recent years the embassy activities
have been reserved largely for second
and third rate princelings. dukelets and
other hangers-on of European aristoc-
racy. Therefore. the announcement that
Americans, both temporary and perma-
nent residents, are to have preference
has been received with great rejoicing.
The effect Of the new policy Is already
apparent in the quickened interest and
hearty cooperation shown In number
of colony enterprises. Another effect has
been to bring Americans here into closer
touch with the German circles which in
timately touch the diplomatic corps

secure the shelves properly. This rack
may be stained to match the furniture.
A very useful stand and receptacle may
be made of barrel sawed in half length

plain boards with a shelf below. This
may be filled with earth for a winter win

on and used for a sewing basket.
Another stand may be made Of two

holes bored in the lower one run the sup
