| ~oHu tidIdS worn freely IN int
evening, and by women of the best

1ers very considerably from it's com
panion of yesterday.
The newest diamond tiaras are real
~ IKE large combs. They are rarely
nigh and the favorite form is that
known as the Greek bandeau. This is
broad, rather fiat, shape which il
worn well forward on the head and
which looks, as have said. more like
a large comb th,:, q tiara 1t is . r;-'
tlcularly becoming shape to women
VINO are possessed of small heads, anG
1t is 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 is becoming a seri-
GUS affair. 1t Is essentially a pearl
season. Women think nothing OF ap.
pearlng at the opera wearing four and
hve ropes of magnificent pearls hang
ing low over their bust; and these
ropes. when real. are of very great
value But then it is not every one

The result Of this is that vast guam.
tity of artificial pearls are now worn
in the evening, and by women of good
position
Fashions Whlm Deplored.
This is pity. Real pearls are love
~ things which seem to become part
OF their owner. They seem to be alive.
1t 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 toI
make them common.
l have lately noticed that diamond
chains are again fashionable, those
long thin chains Of clear set stones
which give a 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 a majestic
appearance to the figure. Some of the
queens Of old used to wear these elab
crate ornaments on state occasions.
but 1t has been left to modern women
to make the fashion an ordinary one.
I have seen large stomachere in lia-
monds or in diamonds and turquoises
worn with quite simple dinner gowns.
The result was good. 1t must be ad.
mitted Nevertheless am of opinion
that this tendency to overload the per-
son with'jewels ought to be checked IL
possible. There ought to be q wide
gulf between the ornaments worn at q
court reception and those worn at .
theater.
Among the weeks novelties I must
record the quaint little race nantes
Of tussor silk embroidered in Japanese
with noss silks. These man.
ties are very loose and vague in de-
sign and they can be pulled on over
the most elaborate corsage with the
greatest ease.
A lovely model has very full sleeves
of with plated frills of beige
coloved net. and the tussor surface IL
decorated with irregular flowers
worked in black and white floss silks.
At the neck the mantle closes tightly

Another wrap Of the same order,

ened by two large buttons Of blue en-

Another novelty 10 the scalloped

or wearing with linen suits. The seal
ops are worked over with embroidery
ilks and very often the cape 10 edged

Long tulle sleeves, finished With
