PersonaLty& Taste

Jewelry selected with care and
taste fits into the h~arhpony OF a cos-
tune and expresses more clearly than
one often suspects the personality of
Its wearer. Designs characteristic OF
all personalities, sizes, colors and
shapes Of persons are to be found on
the markets in this progressive day
and age. artists of intelligence and
ability now making a special study Of
Personality" In jewelry.. The incon-
grufty that one often sees in the COM
binations OF il-chosen jewelry and
personal makeups, Is due alone now,
to lack of taste and understanding of
ones own needs. because surely the
shops are just teeming with things
that are adaptable to Individual
characteristics, provided one realizes
what is necessary to make. the most
of these certain characteristics.
It is possible to make the most ele-
giant costume look ordinary by COM
bining with it jewelry that does not
harmonic. and blend nicely with the
lines, and above all. is not in sym
pathy with the personality of the
wearer, while a much simpler cos
a thing Of great attractiveness. by the
wearing Of a bit of artistic, and
thoroughly good jewelry.
A little jaunt around to the jewelry
shops Of our fair city after q thor
ough inventry rs to the makeup OF
our various and sundry personalities,
would convince any and all of us that
there was something just made es-
pecially for us. and IL some Of the
fascinatingly lovely ornaments didn't
seem to suit us, we would be tempted
to max ourselves over until they did.
Certain jewelry designers have fairly
outdone themselves recently. and the
local dealers seem to have chosen the
pick Of the seasons offerings. s3
All purses. from the thin and wan
ones, to those that r fat and well
upholstered can be pleased: There
are all Of the substantial, good year,
after-year pieces. in rings. brooches,
pendants. watches and earrings and
haps faddier things that nevertheless
have their appeal. Distinctive pieces
fashioned Of green gold faced with
platinum make artistic settings for
stones-particularly diamonds, and
some of the local shops r showing
pendants and rings in this combina-
ton that are wonderfully lovely. One
shop is showing Venus and bridal
wreath wedding rings that have prov
en- popular with brides and grooms of
the present season. and this same
shop is displaying little finger rings,
pendants and earrings with the new
tourmaline and aquamartne settings.
The 2~tourmaline m in pink. green
and. other tones, and makes a most
effective setting for a dinner ring, or
a. pendant that can be gotten to -har-
monte with frocks in one Of several
colors.
The wrist watch which came as a
fad, and has remained a a most
practical and useful adjunct, Of every
day life, continues in popularity. In
the new designs, especially among the
exclusive and high priced offerings
the octagonal and square shapes seem

ribbon instead Of the conventional
gold wrist band is hexagonal in shape.
This ribbon. by the way, is coming
into favor because Of the fac that
1t. holds the watch in place and does
not allow 1t to slip about as does the
bracelet of gold. The ribbon wear
out in comparatively short time,
but 1t is little trouble OF expense to
replace it.
Pearls continue to hold their own,
and are being shown in a wonderful
variety Of settings, and in necklaces
and longer strings. They are posi-!
bly, the most practical stones because
Of their a~daptability t many kinds
Of designs and to a variety of cos
tunes Canoes, in their quaint. old

The patriotic note which enters into
everything just now has discourse
reached the jewelry. The only color
scheme that finds favor Is the red
