Jewels serve two purposes, one OF use
tulnessi they can be Of service in join
Ing. different parts Of the costume, in
telling the time, or the other use may
be that OF ornamentation. In the day
time iewelry Should be worn as much
for use as ornamentation. Any touch
that catties out the general color scheme
OF the dress Is permissible. In. fact
there is a growing vogue for matching
the costume with the Jewels, The desire
growing out of the demand for art in
all things has brought about what is
called "iewelry cpstuhing."
The aim is: to harmonic the jewels
with the costume in such manner that
they are part of the complete whole.
Lalique is responsible to a great de-
gree for this art in jewelry. He has ex-
plotted the theory that art lies In har.
mony in color and outline. The blend
ing of tones possible In semi-precious
stones has brought about many new de-
signs in jewelry. In selecting an orna-
fnent careful consideration should be
paid TO the complexion and general con-
tour of the face, for IL these cunsid-
erations are not given attention, oftimes
the result jars ones aesthetic taste.
Sapphires blend well with blue, gar
nets with tones of red for lavender one
may select an amethyst or kunzite. The
popular moonstone is suitable for gray,
the tburmaline lends itself well to vari-
GUS shades of blues and greens. Aqua
marines harmonic with palest blues and
greens and are exquisite in color. Jade
Is satisfactory with reseda green and
most dark colors. Another stone called
the Thomsonite Is found on the shores
of Lake Superior Oddly notified ia
pink, it is most effective when used
with pink gown.
There are some splendid specimens
OF fine jewelry work set with garnets.
The merits ascribed to this stone were
many and mostly of a medicinal char
acter in clden days. In the carbuncle
form they were credited with illumina-
tion,- and it is related that a carbuncle
suspended in Nnah's Ark furnished the
light for the dark days Of the deluge.
The sapphire is one of the most popu-
lar gems, and one of the richest sap
ptire bearing districts in the world to-
day is suitated in. Montana. In colors
these sapphires are from deep ma

sapphires retain their brillianey in arti-
hcial light, while Oriental sapphires, ex-
rent The most expensive, absorb artificial
light and lose their luster.
The fancy for pearls never seems to
lessen. Quite ingenious is the "add-a-
pearl necklace" which may be started
with an initial expenditure as low as
IS. Genuine pearls are string on a silk
cord and inserted in fine gold neck
chain SO that other pearls may be added
from time to time until the necklace is
Coming in greater prominence than
ever are the flexible bracelets. Green

marines, while another engine turned
