j FRENCH JEWELRY IN VOGUE
Artificial Trinkets Are Now Worn by
the Best Dressed of the So
ciety Women.

With the makers of this attractive
jewelry growing more clever each
year and copying more closely the
genuine, it has long since ceased to
be social error for the well-dressed
woman to use it. The designs are ar
tistic, the pieces useful and the as
sortment offered so wonderfully large,
a woman has at her disposal innumer-
able little trinkets for her adorE-
ing
1t is particularly suited for gift
giving, particularly from one woman
to another. Now that earrings are
so very much the vogue one may have
the right kind for each gown, when
the most elaborate pair seldom costs
sum over two figures and much
more frequently one below it. The
pearl and rhinestone effects are es-
pecially good, and there are cleaning
pendants, little bowknots and other
ornaments with which to deck our
ears and fill our trinket boxes.
Then there are corsage pins 70 hold
ones flowers in place, delicate trif1es
that are almost as pretty as the bios
SONS they hold. Slipper buckles, too,
are in this French jewelry-enamelled
and jeweled and rhinestone affairs
that look their best when decorating
a satin, kid or suede slipper.
What with ruff1es and frills and
Robespierre collars and other neck
fixings, she is an unusual woman who
does not need for several bar
pins. If the stones are glass and the
pearls baroque, the gems rhinestone
and the metal but near-gold, ene may
procure the prett,est of them for
quite moderate sum.

Postal Shower,

The postal shower is likely to be-
come an institution It is designed
for the benefit Of a friend who has
gone to live in strange place. The
shower was originated by a woman
living in st. Louis to encourage her
son, a young lawyer. who had estsb-
lished an office in San Antonio, Tex
Knowing he was bashful the mother
wrote to all her friends. asking that
each one send a post card to him, with
some cheering message In many
cases a friend would encourage her
own friends to write also, and thus
the list grew. The young man got so
much mail matter that San Antore
people got to think he was a person of
some consequence, and they took to
him in great style. The shower"
worked SO well in this instance that
the story spread. Now the idea Is
gaining popularity by leaps and
bounds and bids fair to spread While
the supply Of lonesome friends holds

He looked at the dress thoughtfully.
It was dripping water all about her.
Then his eyes fell upon her big sun

up, walked down the dry beach and
stuck it in the sand, its dome at an
angle of forty-five degrees. Then he
came back and sat down on the PROV

The girl looked at him and then at
the umbrella.

confused voice.

sand-and waited. He waited long

And then from the weedy country
road behind the hill there came voices.

"on, Mr.. Bedight." cried clear
voice from the rear, I'm ready"
The mayor turned and ran precipi-
lately down the hill, the natives in
full pursuit. But this time he reached
the boat in safety and flung a deri
sive laugh at the angry wardens per
emptory command to:
Come back here, gol darn ye, an
git arrested"
The girl watched the man narrowly.
IF you don't mind, Mr.. Bedight,
we'll go over on the lee side of the
island There's a nice warm beach
over there and while / investigate the
condition of this lunch we can dry out
bit. I'm not going back to that
hotel in the daylight"
It was dusk when the two climbed
up the steps of the Squirrel Inn. The
Judge came forward officially to re-
ceive the report.
"He's-hes perfect gentleman"
whispered Mae to Jackie as she
slipped by to her room.

Bedight reached to the beach as If

six inches farther, took quick, strong
hold on the bottom of one leg of the
warden's trousers. gave mighty tug
upward and, as the disconnected ma
tive turned somersault in Inidair,
broke for the boat. Seeing his evident
intent, Miss Andrews encouraged the
leap. but alas for human precision!
In his rush he struck the gunwale,
there was a clatter, scream and the
next instant Miss Andrews found her
self in seven feet of water. She came
up with gasp and would have swum
to safety, for she was athletic. but the
mayor, in the same predicament. came
gallantly to the reacue, carrying her
to shore in his arms, where he linger

ally, and delivered into his hands the
resisting criminal. strobe forward and
tapped Bedight authoritatively on the
shoulder.

For answer Bedight pirouetted in
the sand and swinging hard, gave the
native a terrific smack on the Jaw

The question is frequently asked
how to shrink woolen goods, and for
the benefit of those who have task
of this nature here is simple meth

She took her seat in the boat and
Bedight pushed off. The east was
riot of effulgence and the tapping
waves broke in crested turrets OF
gold as they gurgled and splashed on
their way to meet the boat. Rowing
steadily, the mayor studied the face
of the girl opposite-the face of pa
trician, softened by clear blue, kindly
eyes and beautified by amorous red
lips. Unconsciously, Bedight caught
himself mentally reading:

Accordion Plated Waists,

Nowadays the waist has entered

plated example is carrying all before

Every girl must have her little waist
accordion plated while most of these

Each day he tells me he has done
Some splendid thing in splendid style;
Each day he tells me he has won
From Fortune an engaging smile;
Each day he boasts about his gains.
But, for some reason he conceals,
In humble quarters he remains
And keeps all run down at the heels.
Each day he tells me of high praise
That he has gloriously earned;
If what he says is true his days
To good account must all be turned;
But frayed cuffs still mischievously
Peep from beneath his shiny sleeves,
And, for some reason, only he
Recounts the trtumphs he achieves.
