The boardwalks and hotel Hobbies
at Atlantic City have afforded the
Rambler LII excellent view Of the new
gown fashions and jewelry style in
their early Lenten interpretations.
Here the nav "step-ladder" lear
ring style appears in uncountable vart-
IIations. The simpler form of platinum
|lattice-work topped with a square,
cut gem-preferably q ruby, sapphire
or emerald-for the earstud. is varied
by having all the simulated ladder
rings built up of box-set diamonds.
Gems flash and sparkle against this
background Of new m~ulti-colored
scarfs. Amethvsts are set in many
of THO lately designed scarf-pins to
meet the approval of those who wish
a blended color with the newly i'm
ported violet-lined suitings. But
these new cloths are two-toned, and
II q contrast is demanded in the jewl-
ry instead of q blend, the green Or
brown undertone of h suit materials
is brought out by the cleaning shafts
from topazes or periods mounted in
the scarf-pin and cuff-links.
Ono Of the prettiest bracelet de-
signs, new this Spring. and seen worn
over a. softly crinkled long glove of
pale blue-gray suede, was a three

Black opals and sapphircs are now
a recognized .beauty-gaining combina-
ton and a brooch, featuring these two
gems has made the most, Of this color
scheme. The !opals make the oval,
saueer-shaped center for the main
part of the jewel and the larger egg
shaped pendant gem, and the single
large sapphire, cut round, but mount
ed in a tri-cornored frame, is used for
emphasis just above the pear-shaped
drop.
The square-cut emerald holds its
own. in finger-ring fashions and the
vampire ring still attracts the atten-
ton it is intended to gain, but there
is a newcomer among dinner-rings
that promises to Gust both of these
former favoritcs from the lead: This
ring is set with a single large round
ruby. Rodnd shaped gems, such as
4 This rNhy, solitaire. are new to ewes
grown accustomed to gems of fancy
shape in modern jewelry. and they
are a welcome relief. The mounting
for the. ruby is generally of PLATINUM,
heavily encrusted with diamonds over
the entire surface of ring circle and
where mailer rubtes arc set in the
bezel. A fair diner at one of the great
hotels of this famous resort kindly al

the high crown-like bezel.
On the boardwalk every imaginable
costume combination appears. Thin
cloaks are worn over quite heavy
frocks; warm wraps 'of quilted silk
make possible the wearing OF the
sheerest lace 'ch:ffoa frocks; vol

costume. the jewels reflect most t
urally the individual types and STYLES
and they make nan interesting baro-

of the most conspicuous ~style-changes
is seen in the simple matter Of beads
and>neck-chains. The former oriental
type has given place to the newer SO

whole sets Of matching jewels. ear
