So the hat pin now is an article
of fashion rather than a purely
utilitarian thing, and is only in|
vogue when the jeweler has work

ing to catch the fancy of some NJ
liner, the seal of whose approval
is sufficient to make the hatpin|
fashionable. At the present time|
the hatpin is second only to theI
veil as decoration for the small
hat which fits the head as closely
as possible. Among the smartest|
hatpins are those showing twol
heads of crystal delicately chased.l

the present time brings the ear,
and consequently, the earring, into
prominence again. French women
have for some time been drawing
the hair back tightly so as to re-
veal the ears, and the French jewe-
Ter, alert to the possibilities in
connection with this change of
hairdressing, has been bringing out
very handsome and exaggeratedly
long earrings.
Among, the jewelry just import
ed are earrings of the most exag-
Igerated size. Tassels and pendants
are so long that they almost touch
the shoulder, some of them meas
uring fully five inches in length.
Many of these are set with colored
stones, which in some instances
match pendants and bracelets.
Two new pendants which have
just been imported from Paris are
illustrated on today's page. The

Vogue for Earrings.
Styles of hairdressing and cos
tuning have influenced the vogue
for earrings throughout the CEN
turtles. In the Middle Ages, when
the hair was worn falling at either
side of the face and covered with
a whimple or veil, earrings suffer
ed complete eclipse. The jewell
ed costume and grandeur of the
Elizabethan period brought ear
rings into high favor again.
Earrings were popular in the
nineteenth century, and according
to one chronicler of the times were
"a "source of much extravaganza"
Portraits of Queen Victoria show
her use of earrings, some of which
are quite long IT is impossible to
be enthusiastic over the earrings
of the Victorian period, many of
which were massive and ugly. The
young women of that day favored
unwieldy ornaments of jade and
tortoise shell inlaid with gold.

Meckwear Plays an Important Role

No part of dress has had a more
interesting history than neckwear.
Few realize how important a part
it has played in woman's dress
since the beginning of time. Once
upon a time the size and splendor
Of a woman's neck ruff indicated
her rank or station in life.
Neckwear has taken very def
mite position in fashions since the
time that Catherine de Medici took
her trousseau from Italy in the
middle of the sixteenth century
when she was married to Henry II.
{ It was she who introduced the ruff
in France and established a fashion
which continued in one form or an
other for five hundred years.
We cannot think of the reign of
Queen Elizabeth without calling to
mind the pictures of this famous
woman with an enormous piece of
neckwear forming a frame for her
face. Even in those days the great
Importance of fashions and fashion
designing was recognized. The
artists who, worked in bronze, in
gold and in silver and those who
carved wonderful decorations on
the facades of palaces supplied the
designs for rufus.
Types of neckwear worn at the
present time exemplify different
periods of history. The cuffs
shown on this page, which are
much in vogue at the present time,
are of the period of the Three
Musketeers.
= Create Interesting Effects
There are some interesting de.
velopments in neckwear. This is
one branch of the clothes-making
industry that has Jagged behind in
the progressive march of design
ing. While every other line, from
: that of the milliner to the shoe
maker, has been reaping harvests
from the crop of new ideas neck
wear designers have pinned their
faith too strongly to staples. Be-
heving that the lingerie finish was
not popular with dressmakers, they
have put forth no propaganda to
make it so. In this they are unlike

A Revival of Old Fashions

A most flattering piece of neck
wear consists of a finely pleated
standing collar and jabot OF or
candle. A narrow black velvet rib
bon encirclas the lower edge of the
collar, holding the pleats in place
and allowing the collar to be frill-
ed at the top.
White lingerie collars in both
plain and frilled effects are partic-
ularly smart when offset by black.
Fine embroidery done with black
thread often is used. A further
touch of black sometimes is added
by a bow of ribbon or perhaps by
long streamers.
Scrim and marquisette, two
very old-fashioned materials that
one usually associates with window
curtains, is used for some of the
newest collar and cuff sets just
arrived from Paris. Such sets
show old-time heavy embroideries
both in white and in color. These
are most effective to wear with
sports suits and dresses.

for elaboration soon were recog-
nized and the ring developed into
a hook on which were suspended
pendants of various kinds.
The Phoenicians, authorities on
jewelry, hung from their earrings
ornaments shaped like baskets fill
ed with grain. The Greeks, artis-
tic as always, carved beautiful
pendants for their earrings. A

During the three seasons just
past number of French models
which proved to be "best sellers"
in this country originally had lin

sleeves, but in the copies made
here these were omitted.
Now that the lingerie collar and
cuffs are given great prominence
by the greatest French designers
we may hope to see more made of
them in this country. A number
of new French models show inter-
esting lingerie finishes.

ceived by the greatest French de-
signers are sketched on this page.
Lanvin, who resorts to types Of
dress of other periods, confinirg
herself to the picturesque and
highly civilized periods rather than
too many countries, oftentimes de-
rives her inspiration from the
stately costume of the Italian Re
Nuisance. From this source comes
the lace bertha, only much exag
gerated. She has developed man.
interesting things in cuffs and
collars, using in their making fine
white organdie, delicate laces and
exquisite embroideries. ANON
her newest things are the three
tier collar of organdie and a cuf'
laced with black velvet ribbon.

materials take their inspiration
