Last July in all India there were
"a million, land quarter persons or
relief work or receiving free famine
aid. The price of food trebled and
quadrupled. Expectations of grain
insufficient rain. influenza and pro-
fiteering were added to war as fund
amental causes of the economic ex-
tremity. The government estimates a
shortage of food this year due to a
decrease in acreage cultivated and
poor crops.
"Conditions in South India have
equalled the worst ever known to the
inhabitants of this poverty stricken
country. Our mission stations, be-
sieged day and night by throngs of
hungry people crying for food, were
able to offer but slight aid, the need
was so great. Men and women
through sheer weakness, staggered
about like drunken people. Suffer

My Lady Has Rings on Her

bracelets, handbag tops, umbrella
handles, vanity cases, and pins show
jade used in wide range of patterns
The combining metal, however, is al
ways silver, and the sustaining metal
achieves the bizarre in effect. Thus,
a necklace is shown with the silver
chain very coarse-linked about the
throat, but widening into finely fill
| igreed pattern. This pattern is full
fof little Eastern figures, such as the
scarab, lotus flower, date palm, and
camel. Half dozen pieces Of jade
in irregular shapes and sizes were
scattered about the figures.
Conventional settings are almost
unknown in rings, and>the setting is
generally about some rough stone
rather than polished gem. Bits of
jade, turquoise, matriXes, canoes, and
unpublished pearls are favorites. The
ring band is generally of silver or.
platinum, widening into large pats'
tern about the stone. The lotus flowE
er is a favorite design in ring set9
|tings.
Beautiful bead chains are shown lr
s. garish mixture of colors that blend.
beautifully with the autumn tints of
suits and gowns. This is the Oriental
note again. Yellows, reds, greens,
and blues are found in one ornament.
The effect is given by topazes, emer-
aids, garnets, and sapphires, set with
in silver chain.
Of course, such jewelry staples as
pearl necklaces, diamond rings, and
necklaces studded with opals or tur-
quoises are shown, but they present
few variations frcm former years.
Engagement rings still chiefly employ
the platinum, flat setting, although
the gold ring with Tiffany setting is
shown. Society's high moguls are
wearing the softer gems, such as
pearls and turquoises for evening
wear, rather than the glittering eff
fects Of diamond or emerald.

NEW YORK, Oct. This is al

The strange vegetation of "silver

planted to the garden of fashion
This is literally true, for bands of tiny
frosted silver bells drip from. that
brims, and even cookie shells, clam

Spangles of jet, irridiscent beads,
colored beads of every hue, and great
wooden beads are found everywhere
on gowns and hats and prove that
this is jewelry year. Little appli-
'ques made of jet or coral chips are a
novel trimming of the year.
So much for the mock jeweiry
realm, but when we look at the price
dazzling offerings of big houses, it
is equally evident that jewelry is hold

all it's own. This style is Of the Or

most in demand and chains are
wrought into strange filigree full of
weird and grotesque figures.
Jade leads in popularity this year,

ornaments made from the apple gres:1
