Women seem to have become much
addicted to wearing neckpieces of
many kinds. A little Journey through
shops and departments that carry
neckwear reveals such a world of 1t
and such a variety of it that there
must be a great demand for all kinds
of neckwear. Many of the pieces are
intended to replace summer furs.
These include scarfs made of pushes,
ostrich boas, ostrich capes and capes
of marabOut feathers or marabout fin
ished with ostrich fringe. This os-
trich fringe, which appears like mara
bout in black, white and natural color,
Is used in borders and bands in scarfs
of gold and silver tissue.
Some of the new pushes used for
scarfs do not attempt a close imita-
ton of fur but suggest the most pop
lar summer furs, as ermine and broad
tail and moleslzin. Besides these
there are some handsome satin scarfs
and capes trimmed with narrow bands
of real fur shown with hats to match
like the smart affair that is shown at
the right of the two figures above.
Rich silk tasseIs and silk embroidered
motifs put this in a class with the
handsomest furs.

Where Husbands Wear We

Where Husbands wear wedding Rings.
The women in Brazil have not equal
suffrage, but they have an equality
with the men of their country which
is not enjoyed by their North Ameri-
can sisters. All Brazilian husbands are
expected to wear their wedding rings
as conscientiously as their wives, and
generally they do so. The ring is
plain gold band, the same as that
worn by wives in the United States.
The women in Brazil unanimously are
of the opinion that this is about the
last word in equality.
