What women GOLFERS WEAR

The outing costumes of the woman
golfer who is about to start for a
southern resort should receive no
little consideration. The Importance
of coats, sweaters, blazers, trim skirts
and smart hats is frequently over
looked.
One is safe with a loose white
sweater, a blue Norfolk coat or a
black and white flannel blazer, worn
with white wash skirt on any links.
The matter of blOuses is important
when one is planning successful
golf wardrobe. Both silk and flannel
blouses with the soft rolled turned
over collars are the smartest Some
of the; shirt materials, both of silk
and wool, are white with the hair line
Of color, though white is always be-
yOnd rCprOach.
Little one-piece linen or crash one
piece frocks are much worn and they
90 certainly relieve one of the
thought that waistband and skirt may
be separating.
Nothing makes or mars the outing
costume more cOnspicuously than the
hats and neck fiXings. The most sat
isfactory headgear for a tramp over
the links is a soft white felt hat or a
small Panama, but slightly trimmed

COSTLY CAPRICES IN WATCHES

-four points formed Of clusters of dia-
monds
Two unusual bordered shapes are
the triangle and the hexagon. The
frame on each of these follows the
symmetrical contour of the watch it
encloses, and the faces of the watches
being round, small corners are left
which are filled in with gems.
The festooned watch comes in an
endless variety of designs.
An especially handsome pendant
watch has a silver gray enameled
case with an applique motif in dia-
monds in the center This motif Is
repeated three times in the festoon
work, a border of small diamonds
finishes the enamel. and diamonds
and pearls drop in little prisms for
three inches below the watch case.
These watches make beautiful neck
lace pendants The effect Is enhanc-
ed by the sautoir chains on which
they are hung. A sautoir is one Of
those neck chains with an extra,
straight piece between the circle OF
chain and the pendant; generally
there are matching plaque pendants
attached.
The ornament on the sautoir which
is placed at the junction of the straight
strip and the neck circle matches the
decoration on the watch case and the
chain follows the color scheme Of the
watch. An example of such a jewel
has an ornament of large diamonds on
the sautoir copying the diamond motif
on the watch. The sautoir chain Is
made up of three rows Of gems,
row of emera1ds between two rows Of
diamonds, carrying out the idea in
the watch, for the case is completely
encrusted with emeralds and trimmed
by fringe of flashing diamonds and
emerald drops
Honolulu star-bulletin. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu, Hawaii]) 1912-2010, 1914-03-07

Applique motifs in diamonds, emer-
aids. sapphires and rubies on enamel
ed grounds ornament the latest ca
price in watches. Gems, gems and
still more gems are added to the al
ready handsome enameled cases, until
the watch proper sinks to mere tri-
file under its heavy load of jewels.
There are small square cases, and
very narrow oblongs to be seen this
season, slim watches and round ones
that are thicker but extremely small
The square watches are dainty little
affairs, hidden, most of them, behind
gorgeous gems. Diamonds and plati-
mum wire, in checkered pattern, dec
crate one of these square-inch watch
es-they measure an inch, no more
on each edge. Another Is solid
square inch of brilliants with a pearl
added here and there to top them
off. --.. ...... ...
Two new features in pendant watch
designs will appeal strongly to those
whose quest is ever for the novel in
jewels. One is the addition of an
openwork frame to the watch edge,
and the other is the hanging gemmed
festoons which are attached to the
most extravagantly trimmed type
among all the latest watches.
The open frames are made up of
pierced platinum studded with gems
and platinum wirework on which the
gems are threaded, like beads, in
closely strung rows or scattered as
dewdrops on a cobweb. The gemmed
borders reach out beyond the watches,
sometimes as much as an inch, half
inch frame being perhaps the favorite
depth. ..... ........
One watch measuring only an inch
across has frame half an inch in
width. 1t is encrusted with diamonds
of remarkable shapes, and in the
frame are set seven large pearls that
appear to be floating in space, SO
lightly and cleverly are they mounted.
The designs of these frames show
many dainty patternings in scallops
and flutings, following the shape of
the watch on the inside but varying
to suit the designers fancy on the out
er edges. A thin model round watch
is finished with a square-edged frame;
one frame is fluted so that there is a
fascinating undulation in the platinum
wirework, while another has a border
with concaVe lines terminating in

Another young hostess makes a spe-
ciaity of her potato salad. Not pie
hian dish is this salad, but wonder
full collection of good ingredients.
With the cubes of potato and gen
efuus supply of mayonnaise, she uses
can of French peas, chopped nut
meats, grated hard boiled eggs and
a garnish of pimento and lettuce.
With this she serves cold tongue and
tomato sauce or small sugar-cured
ham with an Indian relish, buttered
slices of brown and white bread.
Cold chicken with a border of hard
boiled eggs dipped in chopped pickle
around the platter, escalloped pota-
toes, tomato salad, cottage cheese,
jelly and hot buttered rolls make an
other good combination.
Welsh rabbit, lobster la Newburg
or creamed chicken made in the chat
ing dish and served with assorted
sandwiches is ample for a. Sunday
supper.
Something in the way of a surprise
or an innovation adds decidedly to
tie charm of the informal supper.
Friends who are used to French chefs
and ceremonious service will enjoy
the simple, novelty supper far more
than hostess realizes.

napkin rings and sailed nuts in sa-
bots, or a menu composed of various
national dishes. or an old-time New
England feast of baked beans, hot
