There's an Intangible Atmosphere
of Richness in Velvets!
THE shops are showing velvets
l. in earnest this week, and with
a coatee or scarf of fur, what could
be lovlier? The F. w. Thorne
Shop, Eighteenth and Farnam
streets, are showing velvet dresses,
suits and separate skirts. | have
chosen one of each to tell you of.
There's little dress of navy blue,
coat effect. The short wasted coat,
with long skirt ending in fringing,
swings gracefully over a tight fit
ting skirt of black satin. There is,
if you please, waistcoat of white
corded silk, fastened snugly about
the throat with black jet buttons.
There's lighter colored blue suit
of an elegance most gratifying,
with enormous collar of gray SPUR
rel. The long lines of the coat are
broken by pleats. and the folded
girdle~ fastens with a buckle in the
front. A brown velvet skirt with a
corded yoke in front, has draped
panel shorter in the back, and the
girdle is draped and folds up under
two big creamy pearl buttons. The
panel ends fascinatingly at each
side with impudently charming tas-
sells! Most unusual in their attract
iveness and altogether charmant,
these models in velvet.
Platinum Still the Patriotic Jewelry!
M R. BROWN of the c. B. Brown
NA Jewelry Co., 220 South 10th
ST., has received a license from the
government sanctioning the sale of
platinum-and what a load it is off
the minds of all of us When
you're admiring the artistic pieces
on display it is most interesting to
know that many of them-of a
beauty unsurpassed-were made by
an artist designer in the shop! Tru-
ly, they're works of art, creations of
artist minds and skilled fingers! In
a large, rounded case, the first to
greet ones eyes upon entering the
shop, is the platinum case, where, on
a background of blve-gray velvet,
are ranged cases of Royal Blue, a
fitting environment for these ire
sistible pieces. sOne case holds an
engagement and wedding ring of
rarest designing, with a lovely pin,
the groom's gift to the bride. The
stone in the engagement, ring is a
wager diamond, pure and wonder
fully cut in the new square cutting
(emerald cut), the tiny facets along
the edge catching the light with a
reflection of wondrous color. Every
one of the % stones in the setting
of this wonder gem are full-cut
stones. The Z wedding ring is a
pierced platinum circlet for the
square-cut stones it holds. Nothing
burdensome about this ring, bind
ing" though it may be. Faith, it's
fairy 1eirclep. Of the beauty OF
family heirlooms are: A bracelet
of diamonds, brooch of feathery de-
sign, and one of the very new sau-
toir watches, made by Maylan,
Switzerland, long and narrow, to be
worn about the neck on heavy silk
cord-most al1uring! Platinum, the
most artistic of all jewelry, is also
the most permanent in its beauty.
Of beauty most aesthetic, it lasts
a lifetime--in fact, many lifetimes
growing more valuable as. the years
pass. An investment to be we'll con-
sidered. -
Polly's Lost Her Heart-To' Velve,
Dresses.
A ND when I tell you of the vel
~ vet dresses l found in the La
mond Shop for Women, second floor
Securities Building, Sixteenth and
Farnam streets, you'll not wonder
that l express myself "thusly."
Employing my love of the swing
ing grace to be found only in pam
els, is a model of navy blue, with
the front panel three inches shorter
than the back, and each of them
braided in overlapping rows OF
braid. When this trimming came
to the corners of the panels, it wove
itself into a kindergarten" corner,
most unusual! To keep this '"Aying
corps" of panels in position, there's
rope girdle with tasselsl If you
like rose, there's black frock with
fringed cape lined in rose georgette
and draped bodice beaded in opales-
cent beads quite the newest touch! y
or Burgundy dress with the same
beads. Or frocks of brown. Tickle
