Of wearing without qualm or quail
The feathers from peacock's
tail.
New York, Jan. 14.-1f lovely
women will wear borrowed plumage
quite the most artistic and fashion
able place to borrow it at the pres
ent moment is from the tail of
peacock That is, of course, if she
counts thirteen as her lucky num-
Der, doesn't mind opening an UNI
brella indoors and laughs shattered
mirrors to scorn. 1t isn't strange
that the peacock should come into
it's own again as modish fowl, con-
sidering it has ever been a symbol
of vanity and the household pet Of
June in her early days of light
housekeeping on Mount Olympus.
Now the gorgeous feathers are
used not only as fans, in head
dresses for evening and as a garni-
ture for hats, but the lovely blue
and green eyes of the feathers are
utilized in any number of ingeni-
Gus ways as gown and wrap trim
mings. At a smart literary tea the
other afternoon appeared verita-
BILE Peacock Lady whose penchant
for the plums was carried to unique
lengths.
The buttons of her heavy, loose
wrap were made of the eyes of the
peacock feathers under discs of glass
backed and bound in gilt.
She also wore a charm on a long
chain of blue and green enamel
made Of double glass discs trimmed
in gold and revealing peacock eye
on each side. Her hat was close
fitting turban formed of the irri-
descent blush green breast feathers
of the bird, while wonderful scarf
of the breast feathers swathed her
chin and throat in lieu Of fur. Rep
licas of these fascinating feathers
now form the motif of embroidered
designs on many rich evening gowns
and wraps and the craze for peacock
jewelry steadily gains. Rings and
brocades showing the fowl in it's en-
tirety, have it's tail encrusted with
semi-precious sparkling stones Of
green and blue.
Either with it's tail dropping or
reared and proudly unfurled like a
fan in all it's glory, the clever metal
and gem craftsmen depict the pea
cock on combs for the hair, shoe
buckles, pendants. The tiny gold or
silver, gem encrusted birds even
swing in Beauty's ears. They are
- spangled or beaded on hand bags
and hosiery in effective exterior
decoration of the frail and fair; al
so the buxom and brunette. For in
terror decorations, Sterner, the artist
has proved their effectiveness in his
own beautiful home.
So here you have the tale Of the
peacock's fashionable tail and all it
