Gravel and Macadam Can Be EN-
ployed Until More Durable Type

Handkerchief Bracelet
New Partisan Novelty

The handkerchief bracelet is one or
the latest and most popular Partisan
novelties to find a place on the hand
kerchief counters and the work basket
Of the artistic and thrifty Madame
Santa Claus just in time for the hoii-
days. It is a little suede, leather or
ribbon band from three-eighths to a
half an inch in width with an adjusta-
Bile clasp Of nickel or brass and a loop
through which is Slipped a gay sports
handkerchief. The suede and learner
bracelets come in grey, black. red and
green with ornamental dots OF cut
steel and are worn like a wrist watch.
Tho handkerchief they fiaunt must
be of crepe, chiffon. soft silk, or pom
.gee-some adaptable material that
falls easily in soft folds. TO be smart
they must come in colors. The falnil-
lar sports handkerchiefs lend them
selves happily to the bracelets. Often
the Handkerchief is chosen to match or
~harmonize with the costume and some
times it furnishes q distinctly gay and
bizarre note with its gorgeous border
in yellow, blue and green.
"Many American women who make
their own Christmas gifts already are
buying ribbons" said an official of a
wholesale company in Chicago, who
has just brought the novelty from
Paris" and are milking the little rib
bon bracelets to match or harmoniZe
with the handkerchiefs.
"It is one of those happy little nov
elites that we find in Paris and which
American women receive with enthu-
siasm and to which they are very apt
to add their own individual touch"
