But story on jewelry, on baubles
worn during barbarism and in civili-
zation, in peace and war, has naught
to do with the story of mans prog
ress. you say.
The retort is that every phase Of
human ornamentation is part and par
eel of mans progression or retrogres-
sion. Fashion is history made deco
rative.
Paris really gave the impetus to
colored stones rather than white ones,
such as pearls and diamonds, when in
the postwar period her women be-

that half of these trinkets were not
genuine. They were worn by those
who could not and would not put
huge sums of money into a passing
fad. Every rainbow color was in the
grouping of heavy bracelets that COW
cred the arm, sometimes from wrist
bone to elbow and above.
The fashion has died down in
America, where II was not readily
adopted, and In Paris one sees enough
of 1t to prove the fashion exists.

Vienna Landmarks of Cys

! visited, this afternoon, a little
summer palace which you will not
find in the guide books 1t was built
by Francis Joseph for his wife, the
Empress Elizabeth, who was stabbed
TO death in Geneva by an anarchist
three or four decades ago. After
ward it was used as sort of
hunting lodge by the family UP to
the time Of the war. This palace
consists of cream -colored brick
building of the dimensions of a sea
side hotel and it has about it a trac;
of 1000 acres of forests with mag
nificent lawns and long winding
bride paths and roadways. 1t is
filled with beautiful paintings, and
one great hall had it's ceiling and
walls painted by great artists with
scenes from Shak espeare's "Midsum-
mer Nights Dream" 1t has some
splendid furniture, including beds as
wide as the great bed of Ware, and
also plain simple room which was
the emperor's own. This room was
that of a hermit. Francis Joseph had
no frills and furbelows about him,
and his bed was Of a three-quarter
size and made OF sheet iron. 1 can
buy any number just like It in any
town in America for $40 apiece.
I asked in vain for the bathroom
and was told there was none. This
is so notwithstanding the great
building is lighted by electricity. |
am told 1 am the first newspaper man
who has ever gone through this es-
tablishment had access to it
through the present lessee, who tells
me he gets it at a bargain, paying
what in American money is just S200
a year for the great house and
grounds.
The great palace at Schonbrunn
and the vast structures occupied by
the emperors in the heart of Vienna
are now thrown open to sightseers
who tramp through with hats on or
hats off as they please and stare
at the pictures. The government
charges fee. except on certain days.
Schonbrunn was where the en-
peror lived in summer and it was
accessible only during his absence.
1t is now the great holiday resort of
the people There were thousands
moving about through the grounds
when I went there last Sunday. The
swimming pool covers dI ledSL ndII

but a giant like GoIiah. who was.
as I remember, nine feet and nine
inches tall, would drown in it.
found it filled with men and women
swimming about at an admission fee
Of a few cents per head. This pool
was sacred to the empress, and she
had it made deep, for she was one
of the great royal athletes of her
time. She loved to hunt and ride
and swim; and I venture if she could
have had fair chance at that ar
archisr he would not have been able
| to accomplish hcf Death.
The palace of Schonbrunp has q
park of 500 acres Of woods surround
ing it's magnificent gardens. The
palace stands on the site of a hunting
lodge erected in 1870 and the present
building was begun in 1896. Maria
Theresa often lived there, and the
present form was largely the result
of her planning, being modelled after
Versailles. The building itself is not
large for q palace. Tt is a two-story
structure only $50 feet long. There
are seats round thu garden, which
contains perhaps twenty acres of
lawns and beautiful flowers

expert to have them polished then

Rings and brooches are particu-
larly desirable. Earrings are fash
toned like punches Of leaves dropping
from ear lobe to shoulder. their
weight carried by the whole ear by
means of a slender hoop of gold or
silver.
Seed pearls and coral make another

THE Chinese headdress of seed
pearls and small bits Of coral,
usually in the form of smooth beads,
has taken hold of occidental fancy.
1t Is not easily obtainable. but jew

This headdress is made of seed
pearl fringe. each strand tipped with
a coral bead. 1t is attached to a slen-
der wire of metal which acts as a
bandeau. it ends hooking into the
hair at back. 1t is not permissible
with bobbed or shingled hair. What
headdress is? Yet. if the prophets
are right. women will soon cease to
wear their hair long, or wearing it
long, be considered as freakish as
men. Don't exclaim: This will never

considered freallish among fashion
ables and workers in the new fields
open to women. 1t, like other fash
ions of this hour, will come about
because women are too busy to give
an hour morning and evening to the
arrangement Of their hair. Fashion
will have little to do with its abol-
ishment. A hat that shows the hair
vanished from common usage years
ago, so there's no use having hair
at all for the daytime.
Green Jade is used more for neck
laces than aught else. In its real
state 1t Is monstrously expensive.
1t. like all genuine oriental jewelry,
belongs to princes and wealthy Amer
leans. But there are lovely pieces
of it that are not royal. These are
worn as pendants on green silk cords,
not on metal chains, remember. also
as little finger rings. as girdle orna-
ments. as two hat pins that do not
pin anything. but act as decoration
to the cloche.
All the countries contribute to the
fashion for barbaric earrings.
The gypsy hoop. once considered
conspicuous, is tame In appearance
against the enormous elongated hoops
of red Chinese lacquer as broad as
the thumb or the triple hoops of seed
pearls set in platinum with colored
ornament swung in the center.
Jeweled birds in bright colored
plummage drop from some ears. They
swing. also, in tiny rings of diamond
studded platinum. Nothing fits over
the lobe of the ear. Everything
swings, the farther. the better. If
one did not know that such baubles
were supported by metal hoops
passed over the ear. there would
be pity for the pain of 1T. AS it is
one must have fortitude to bear such
burdens as heavy carved gold inset
with rubles or beaten gold inset with
coral beads. Yet these are worn. And
not by the adventurous artistic set.
but by sedate women.
Evening star., 1924-01-06

STRANGE to say. the fashion has
not put cheap pearls out of ex-
istence. No one expected it to Danish
real pearls, for they are an integral
art of odiental decoration: but the
shops still do a rushing business in
strings Of imitation oyster secre-
tions. So admirable are many OF
these limitations that the richest wom-
en- do not hesitate to wear them.
Some women reserve real pearls as
part of their legacy to their children
or for the day when Ill luck befalls,
by placing them in bank vaults with
bonds and stocks. Why. then. should
other and less rich women cavil at
wearing pearls that cost little? AS
decoration. they are quite as lovely.
The black pearls. however. worn
by great oriental potentates. have
come into such power that they rival
the cream ones. Already they are
initiated. 1t Is much more fashion
able to wear a few black pearls than
many light ones. Even the pink
pearl is sought rather than its more
common sister.
Paris led the way In combining
black and white pearls, but they have
forsaken that trick for the combina-
tion Of white and black onyx, of
black pearls with muttonfat jade
which is the cheapest jade brought
out Of China, the kind the coolies
wear. The Chinese of Importance
despised it until the Americans took
a fancy to 1t. Now it is carved with
Chinese luck symbols and sold to
Americans on Jade. Lantern, and En-
broidery streets in Pekin. Plain and
fat, like a button, this jade Is strung
into necklaces, with "buttour" OF
equal size interspersed, to serve a
capricious woman's desire for black
and white jewelry.
Such necklaces have brought back
onyx set with pearls or diamonds
after the civil war manner. Those
who have inherited such pieces OF
jewelry will do well to hasten to ar

Russians, who some times offered a
sable neckpiece for a dinner.
Whole sets of cornelian are in the
shops, which is another revived civil
war fashion. Women once wore ring.
earrings, necklace and brooch to
match. One of the splendid modern
pendants in cornelian is topped by
green agate. There are little finger
rings of green agate carved with a
crest or a head OF Mercury, or a
symbolic beast.
The semi-precious stones sought
for these decorative pieces of new
jewelry are cornelian. amethysts,
chalcedony, chrysoprase, green agate,
onyx, tourmalines, jade, yellow dia-

never suspected we would return to
that phase of ancient and honorable
barbarism in which its ears were
decorated with the most gorgeous
jewelry to be devised and suffered.
But we have. Thus do we puzzle the
psychologists. who spend much un-

Why we wear jewelry, why we con-

DOSS1BLY the height of barbarism
is in the bracelets of skulls
carved Of old ivory that come from
the far east. They are worn for
luck. certainly not for beauty, for
they have it not.
From Russia comes the revived
fashion for crosses swinging from
chains. Our immediate ancestors
wore. these, but not at brilliantly
jeweled as now. We did not wait
for the coming OF Prince Felix Yous-
supofr, the richest noble in old Russia,
with his Sinbad the Sailor collection
of colorful and precious jewels, to ac-
cept the cross as a decoration. We
had heard the story Of this revival in
fashion and had gone to old boxes to
get out the cross worn by grand
mother.
New ones offered for the holiday
season were Of Russian workmanship
studded with a curious blue stone
which goes into much of the crown
and church jewelry and plate. Green
agates and amethysts were mixed

crosses have been revived and are
carried on chains of finely carved

Such decorations come under the
grouping Of ecclesiastic jewelry, and
there are various other pieces de-
sired by women who follow fashion
There is a revival Of flowered jew
elry. Eighteenth century craft is
shown in brooches of blue enameled
mother-of-pearl set with flowers of

Russian brooches or buckles of dull
gold are set with square emeralds
and fat diamons, that is, without
facetting. A few Of these picked up
last year in France for a. song by
women who knew a good thing when
they saw it are now an envied pos
