one above the other In fringe fashion.
The. bags are pouched shaped. lined
with rich and heavy satin and fitted
with a beaded change purse. Satin
strings draw them up and slip over the
wrist, bracelet fashion. The beads Of
one color entirely are very lovely In
deed; not less so. however, are those
OF two shades Of color, as. for instance.
brown and sand color. light and dark
blue and green OF deep leaf tone al
ternating with paler mignonette.
The beaded bag still holds it's own in
spite OF the long sway 1t has had. Vel
vet and silk are used also. but nothing
supplants the popularity OF the beaded
beauties.
In the place of the tiny vanity bags
OF satin filled with lace, set with a mir
ror and swinging It's silken cords from
ones arm, the newest little trifies Of
| tkis sort are longer and about an inch
wide and are TO be carried in the hand
for evening affairs, rather than to be
swung at the elbow or wrist. These
lovely little things are made OF the
most exquisite brocaded satins or vel
vets and some. too, are Of metal in imi-
tation OF gold or silver. while others
are OF the silver or gold metal tissue.
Inside the tiny treasure there is
Just space for a little mirror. two nat
cakes OF fine powder and the in
finitesimally small powder pun. We
are SO shameless these days in the APP
| plication OF our complexions--or
rather should / say so frank 2--that

TUNE the fabric of which they are
fashioned is really clever imitation.
The old Roman bracelets of gold or
silver are being worn again. The
museums and art galleries are being
searched by those eager to find old
models which can be made into new
armlets now that this fad is 'on," so
to speak. None is lovelier than the
Etruscan gold. Many of these ancient
golden circlets do not meet entirely
but have an open space between the
ends through which the arm Is ex-
posed. AS the bracelet is pushed well
up on the arm It will stay In place
In spite of this opening.
The Indian bracelets of beaten sill
yer are lovely, and these alone seem
permitted the jewels the others forego.
Only in this wide silver band, also with
the open circle, just one stone Is used,
and that Is large, preferably of a semi
precious native stone, such as rose
quartz, turquoise, garnet or some
other stone less precious than the
mines in other parts OF the world send
over.
For younger girls black velvet rib
bon circlets tipped with tiny flower
such as a sweetheart rose or forget
me-not. are really lovely ana suggest
the days OF hoop skirts and powder
and patches. These velvet circlets are
worn at the wrist at just the right
angle and arc piquant and lovely.
BECAUSE we are having such vogue

Velvet is the joy OF every woman's

pearls were the synonyms of much
wealth. therefore It is no wonder that
all women longed for a velvet gown

Not SO much trimming Is used on
the velvet dresses. One excellent ex-
ample is Of black chiffon velvet with
the ldraped hips 30 prevalent. The
only trimming used Il introduced at
the neck In a half collar and on the
sleeves in half cuffs Of silver cloth
embroidered in beautiful shade Of
myrtle red. This fashion of making
very small collars and cuffs is a lovely
one, as charming touches Of color can
be cleverly used.

One enterprising designer has pro.
duced an entire frock of ribbon. This
