BY MARY MARSHALL,

A T first it seems very. and pecu-
~ liarly, feminine-this worry
~ breeding trick of wearing in
Vulnerable accessories to our
dress. But it is nothing of the sort.
1t is a habit that Adam taught Eve
way back in the garden of Eden. The
primitive red man of America wore
TWO or three times as many Access
series as his fat-faced squaw, and
so doubtless did the cave man before
him. Man has ever been addicted
to the accessory habit, separate
collars, collar buttons, studs, shirts,
possibly separate cuffs, belts, braces,
scarfs, muffiers, waistcoats, cravats,
ties, Sam Brown belts, epaulettes-
ribbands, stockings, shoestrings,
garters, rings. gloves, bands, doub-
lets, ruffles, hes-ribbons-jerk-
ins, buskins, IFS. Down through
the ages man has complicated his
existence of adding to the real
essentials of dress innumerable and
significant small things-accessories
War fashions, as we look back at
them event with the shallow per-
spective of five or six years, seem
to have been singularly lacking in
accessories; at least. as far as
women were concerned. We dis

essary bit of bright color or bril-
lance in an evening costume-and
in giving one a definite occupation
for ones hand. The queens and fairy
princesses of folk lore always car
ried their scepters about with them,
and one can hardly wonder. 1t must
have been such a comfort to have
something of the sort to keep ones
hands from feeling self-conscious.
The peasant woman had her distafT-
the queen her scepter.
Many a clever and beautiful woman
has felt the need of something of
this sort to busy the fingers in con
versation. Nine. de Stael, one Of
the most brilliant and magnetic of
the. ladies of the French salons of
the eighteenth century, always held
in her hand small sprig of laurel
for much the same reason that other
less original women carry fans
Different occasions of the days
program seem to call for different
sorts. There are small theater fans,
larger, more pretentious fans for the
opera, midget fans for the matinee
fans suitable for the informal dance
and others suitable only for the elab-
crate. formal gathering.
And gloves are assuming ever
increasing Importance. Whether you
consent to wearing them in the eve
ming or not you will find them play
ing an ever augmenting role in your
wardrobe. At the winter resorts
short gloves with sleevesless frocks
left fair, untanned hands with arms
of that much admired rosy, gold flesh
tint that we associate with freshly
tanned skin. And this became very
much the fashion, so much so that
women rather resented long gloves
in the evening to hide this interesting
contrast that short daytime gloves
had produced.
BY all means the very short glove
is the most interesting of the season,
and women often pay more for the
new short glove than for the con-
ventional long glove. Nowadays our
gloves are different and distinctive.
Women who could afford it used to
order dozen pairs of gloves pre-
cisely alike. Now they choose them
piecemeal-each pair different. 1t is
a new and clever trick to wear gloves
to match the small envelope purse
and both in turn are chosen to accord
precisely. with the frock or suit with
which they are to be worn.

from day to day was listed in what
women had left of. 1t was a sum in
subtraction, not in addition Women
went without gloves in Paris! Astound-
ing. We tried it. Found we could sur
vive the trying-and cut our glove bills
more than in half even when gloves
were more than doubling in cost. At
the feverish climax of the whole
thing French women-a few--even
went with unstockinged legs in their
sandal slippers! If the war had
lasted much longer we might even
have tried this, too.
1t may have seemed like caprice
of fashion, but behind it all was a
bending to the necessities of bitter
war. 1t was a yielding to a scheme
of things in which women had less
in time and in money to spend on
clothes.
To change from day dress to
evening dress was the slipping from
one chemise frock to another. The
innumerable accessories of evening
attire had gone. Something very
much like this had happened more
than a hundred years before when
France had been through the con-

Where Pearls Are Found.

Pearls are animal groU-ths, being
found in shellfsh OF various kinds.
but usually in the pearl oyster, which
is not like the ordinary one, but more
Of the mussel variety. Oyster shells
are lined with a smooth coating of
mother of pearl called nacre. Layer
by layer the oyster builds it up. When
foreign substance enters the oysters
tissue, the little animal stops the irri-
tation by surrounding the object with
coating of nacre, or perhaps several
coats, so that it can do him no injury.
These protective balls of pearl are
what are taken from the oyster to be
used as jewels.
Sometimes small sharp pieces of
nacre are purposefy inserted by own
ers of oyster beds into the three
year-o1d animals, then two years
later, when they are taken from the
water, each one contains a big, lus-
tIous pearl.
OF all the pearl fisheries, those near
Ceylon, in India are the greatest.
Stories say that the wonderful pearls
King Solomon had came from Ceylon
drank came also from there.
Diving for pearls is a regular bust
ness of Ceylon, employing a great
many workers. Each oyster boat usu-
ally has five divers. They go down
repeatedly, each time taking a basket,
fastened to rope on the boat. When
the diver reaches the bottom he
scoops up the shells with his basket
The dangers of such an occupation
are not trivial. Sometimes the men
are stung by jellyfishes. Again, they
may stay down too long. and, over
estimating their ability to go without
breath, will be brought up dead. The
divers hold their noses when they de-
scend. An Arab can stay under from
eighty to ninety seconds, but a Tamil
diver usually not so long.
A pearl divers pay consists in his
getting one-third of the oysters he
brings up. Then he may hunt through
them for the prizes, and. by selling
the pearls. make his wages. The
days catch on an oyster boat is taken
to a rotting ground, where the oys-
ters lie in piles for a week or so and
are allowed to decay before the pearls
are picked out.
The pearls that are gathered vary
greatly in size and shape. They are
sorted by being sifted through holes
In little pans that look like aShtrayS.

IN spite of all that has been said of
the beltless silhouette, belts are
working themselves into distin-
, guished favor. These belts seem to
! stand ready in enticing array in case
fashion departs from her present
whim of going ungirdled. Already
there are charming frocks showing
the use of belts. For an evening
frock a belt is made of artificial flow
ers pressed closely together with
just one bouquet left out to be worn
upon the shoulder. Braided belts are
with us again. One, rather wide,
shows the braids of vari-colored rib
/ bons-green, blue, yellow predomi-
nate, with long tassel composed of
the unbranded ribbons at one side
Another of braided black ribbon
| shows a tassel of smaller black and
white tassels sewed together.
Leather belts for the tailored frock
| are numerous. Red and white leather
| are used together, all white is
trimmed with silver, and green is
fooled with gold.
A mannish accessory. but one that
is not borrowed from the present
day mode of men, is the walking
stick. For since war days where
does one find an American man who
swaggers a walking stick? 1t is very
| amusing about walking sticks or
| cans, isn't it? When we grow old
| and stiff kneed and really might find
| comfort and assistance from a good
stout walking stick we scorn the use
of them. We are not quite such an
old bag yet, thank you. Besides, dogs
might bark at US if we walked with a
| cane. Yet when we are young and
limbered-kneed and could derive no
! possible assistance from Il cane we
yearn to carry one. There is some
| thing so swagger about a walking
stick, when one doesn't need one.
There seems to be no special re-
vival OF the walking stick so far, but
1t is Enthusiastically suitable and ap-
propriate to the revived tailored suit
Here and there you do find women
| who have adopted canes, and there
are charming canes in the shops. One
that has a note of timeliness is made
four mah-jong tiles with a smaller
tile swinging from cord lower
down.
To give a finishing touch to the
effect of the woman who wears her
tailored suit in Directoire fashion is
the long slender walking stick of
polished wood topped only by a
zla oil oct
all women's sticks now have silk or
leather loops below the handle by
which they can be swung over the
arm.
Umbrellas are no longer merely a
rainy-day necessity. They are be-
coming SO interesting that to lose
ones umbrella is now a matter of
greater moment than it was some
years ago. when women bought the
cheapest sort of umbrellas and never
expected a borrowed umbrella to be
returned.
Now we pick out our umbrellas as
carefully as we do our purses or
parasols. Handles are often very
amusing. One handle shows a man.
ma doll head that squeals when it is
pressed. Sometimes the ferrule is
more ornate than the handle. One
black and white umbrella or parasol
has a crystal ball at the ferrule end.
Umbrella handles often offer a place
for carrying a gay handkerchief. One
has slit in the handle for the hand
kerchief and another has a slit in the
strap at the handle. Most charming
indeed are the new rain-proof Japa-
nese parasols that may shield us from
summer shower.

HONS Appear to Be Reckoning Again to Accessories

the fewest garments by actual count
and which carried the least weight in
apparel.
GRADUALLY since 1919 we have
~ been getting back into the way
of accessories. We have been re-
iuctant.r We have been loath to
burden ourselves with these kick
shaws of fashion. five can put a
dress on all in one piece and call the
lob done, SO much the better. why
stand, before ones mirror TO ada SIX
or seven accessories?
One thing Is sure. If we AFFECT
the mannish--boyish-m we must
affect accessories. We have received
the mannish tailored suit like the
prodigal son. Very well, we must XIII
the fatted calf and order in the must
clans. For the tailored suit is as de-
pendent on fobs, handkerchiefs'
gloves. stocks, waistcoats, walking
sticks, frills and all the other Beau
Brummel accessories as Christmas
turkey is on cranberry sauce and
stuffing.
Evening clothes and light after
noon clothes, not the least mannlsn'
seem also to be reckoning to acces-
series. We may dislike the bother of
II all. but we crave the effect they
give. We may be travelling toward
fussiness and confusion in dress as
surely as another generation of wom-
en- went toward business and con-
fusion during the eos and sos of the
last century. But no hand can stay
us. In the meantime fashion has pour
ed out her cornucopia before us
parasols, sunshades, gloves, walking
sticks, scarfs. chokers, stocks, ties,
boas, belts, girdles. We must have
them.
Americans as well as French wom-
en- have shown their approval. The
trick just at present is to have long,
floating boa to match your evening
frock. Or you may wear one in a bril-
liant hue with an all-white evening
gown. Sometimes they are three yards
in length.
There seems to be no imminent
danger of the feather boa as an ac-
cessory of the tailored suit or street
frock, but even such an incongruity
may come to pass.
One thing seems certain. No eve
ming gown is complete without some
sort of scarf-boa or otherwise. Two
square yards of chiffon, sometimes
of almost shawl proportions, are edg-
ed with ostrich flues-long or I'M
curled or knotted to produce the re-
suit we call willow"
For suits and sport costumes scarfs
take on the length of table runners.
And they are as deliberately contrived
and embellished with hand work as
any piano throw" or tidy that -four
ished in any Victorian drawing
room.
Crepe de chine scarfs are trimmed
at one end with blooming wreaths
of flowers cut from vivid felt, and
held in place with applique and en-
broidery. Often these scarfs are worn
around the neck with plain end con-
cealed, while the decorated end hangs
down the back.
sometimes d shorter scarf is mere
ly tied at the back in a loose knot.
a plaid scarf of this description is
sold with a sport hat trimmed with
a plaid scarf to match. A scarf of
heavy black net is embroidered with
enormous colored stones and a chiffon
scarf has a parasol to match, both
heavily decked with large red flowers
worked in heads. Some times with
afternoon and evening frocks a scarf
is worn to match the hem of the
frock.
