n lew YORK.-tSpecial Correspond
~ ence.)-At last we have the an
swer as to the why of an ear from
a strictly ornamental point of view. A
straight beauty feature it could not be
called, except in rare cases. Women,
sensing this fully. have shown the dis
erection long associated with wisdom.
and kept them ear-muffed and fore
banked, SO that their she'll like proper
ties have given them little or no con-
Germ.
Now cometh the earring craze. And
if one may judge from the rapid con-
tagion of the fad, before the season
is out q pair of ears from. which sus-
ponds no coral rosebud. carved jade, or
filagreed metal of antique design is
going to blush for seeming nudity. This
fashion, as old as the ages, is revived
in all its barbaric glory.
Fashion DEGREES the Picturesque
To be picturesque above everything
else is the aim of today's beauty. The
present day fashion in smart dressing
Is not the straight and sports type of
frock, but the appealing long graceful
line. soft materialed with picturesque
trimming. Historically correct. then.
is the complementary picturesque ear
ring. Altogether an exquisite relief
from the militant maid of another day
not so far removed.
Observing the ultra modern beauty
from the crossroads of wealth and its
imitators. the earring is no longer an
article of jewelry. but an article OF
dress to conform to the other articles
of dress. making q grand total OF per-
sonality. for into the bobbing trinkets
NAV be chosen a distinct and extreme
1y interesting personality.
They Lend That Subtle Mote.
Their becoming quality is no negli-
gible quantity. There is a subtle some
thing about the modern fashion which
requires the ear to be pressed into
service as the. means to an end of this
added ornamentation.
But to acquire this appealing. pic
turesque. dropping and a~lluring effect,
the earrings cannot be chosen willy
nilly. No. rumor hath it that In some
cases the earrings are the pivot upon
which swings the design of the gown,
the couture. and the chapeau. One
pair of earrings may not be allotted to
any old gown or frock hanging in the
closet. They are too much the center
of attraction for that.

clothes without looking quite ridicu-
lous. Add them to your long lined,

and if smartly chosen. you acquire that
individual touch which raises you out
of the ranks of the commonplace.
Earrings will emphasize a type dis

choice as you have in building up the
characteristics which make of you q
woman apart.
There are laws of design which must
be conformed to in relation to the
shape of the face. however. Some
women are born with an inherent know
ledge Of these fundamentals. Others
are not. Thus are born tragedies in
the way of decorating ears with the
wrong ornaments and faces with ear
ring designs that are all out Of proper
ton.
Selection Is Generous
1t is almost impossible to say what
style of earring is best suited to this
and that type OF face. But jewelers.
seem to have made provision for every
imaginable type. so wide and varied is
the selection. Nor could one. for that
matter, be decisive about a hat or
frock for certain measurements and

are a few general observations which
may help.
The long, slender face, say, with
round and looped earrings would be
saved a sharpening of the contour
which the opposite character of ear
rings would provoke.
The round, full face, on the other
hand, would present a more pleasing
contour with the dangling, long orna-
mentations. Especially if the neck is
slender these earrings meet with ut
most success.

proportions, the earrings fitted close is
