Narrow silk cords. finished at the
ends with tassels. can be made into
necklaces by stringing large beads on
them, the beads being held in place
by knots taken in the cords, above and
below a bead. Four or five large beads
strung at irregular intervals would be
sufficient. If the cord and beads are
carefully selected, so as to match or
give a pleasing contrast to the cos.
tune, they will add a smart touch to
a simple waist or gown.
II rather small beads are used, they
should be strung at regular intervals

would, Of course. require more beads.
Yellow beads on a black cord, and
beads combining green, gold and blue

very effective, also amber and Jet
