Fixings That
Add to Gowns


and they seem to be much liked by
the ladies who go in for the more or
less fancy sort Of dressing. A new
sort of bracelet is made from a string
Of tiny pearls-a long string that Is
rolled over and over the hand until it
becomes small enough to be brace
let of many tiers of the strung beads.
When, for any reason. pearls are out
Of the question for this usage. then
there Is a lovely little substitute In
the shape of string of tiny silver or
silvered beads. with which the same
thing can be accomplished. Even with
street costume, 1t is interesting to
see these little beads come clipping
down over the neatly gloved hand.
Then there are the gorgeous brace
lets made of diamonds and Of dia-
monds in combination with the more
colorful precious stones. They are
very much in evidence at. all the smart
functions, worn along with evening
and dressy afternoon clothes. They
are much to be desired and extremely
Identifying in general character. Then
there are all sorts of handsome an
tique bracelets at present being
brought out from their hiding places,
after many years of existence under
cover of the stuffy jewel case. These
are, perhaps, the most effective OF all
when they are worn with the right
sort of costumes, but, on the other
hand, they are the most difficult to
obtain, and, therefore, much less in
evidence than are those of more re-
cent origin and design.
The dangling hatpins mentioned
earlier are done now in all sorts OF
stones, for they are popular liking
Of the moment. There are those made
of cut crystals which are lovely to
see, and there are others made of old
fashioned clusters of garnets which
are very fascinating. There are those
made of all colors and composition,
nodded into various shapes and sizes
and beads and buttons. No one is
quite up, to the last word unless she
is the proud possessor of one Of these
pins.
Head Beads More Popular.
The fad for beads has extended
itself to the matter Of belts, and now
one sees combinations Of buckles and
beads and chains that are most at
'tractive when used for girdles. 1t Is
seldom that one of these is seen en-
tirely made from one sort of bead.
They are good when they are COM
bined with the one-plece dress that
boasts no other sort of trimming, for
then they can carry the color and the
design all by themselves and "get
away" with it proudly. One of these
made up of silver cord and jade rings
was most interesting when combined
with dark blue crepe dress. An
other made of tiny old-gold twisted
galloon, red composition ovals and old
gold tassels was particularly effective
on dark blue serge dress that had
nothing but an extremely well-fitted
line to recommend it in any other di-
rectiOn.
Pearls still hold the boards for neck
fixings of fashion, and the places
where they are sold report that there
is constantly increasing demand for
this particular variety of ornament.
Head beads are becoming more and
more popular in the evening and, with
Paris leading the fashion, they are
growing a little more elaborate and
the top Of the couture. The little
bands of formal silver leaves are
particularly good looking, and at the
opera many of them are seen scattered
about the audience. There is another
little band Of variegated tiny flowers
often seen. 1t came from London,
where the women love to wear things
in their hair during the dress-up hours
Of the evening.
