ems interest in really precious BIZ
jouterie.
AS always happens when women's
clothes are distinguished by lack of
elaborate trimming. jewelry is in
great demand. AS at the time OF the
Empire styles-some eleven decades
ago-"straightness Of the line and
the plainness of the materials call
loudly for ornament" And then, as
now, jewelry began to be worn al
most to excess. Perhaps we have not
gone quite to the extremes that they
did then. when women wore brace
let's on wrists and ankles. rings on
the fingers and toes, chains long
enough to go six or seven times
around the neck, earrings with three
hanging pendants innumerable combs
and diadems. But at any rate fash
jewelry of one sort and another to
make room for much that is trif1ing
and of little worth without actually
diminishing the appreciation of the
precious sort.
There is room for much jewelry in
the actual makeup of our frocks.
Evening frocks of sort require
jeweled and brilliant shoulder straps
sometimes one and sometimes two.
Hats show trimming Of jeweled orna-
ments. sometimes the sole ornamen-
tation being a fancy pin or a chain
used by way OF a band. Buckles of
gold studded with jewels or colored
glass stones are used as hip clasps on
smartly draped evening frocks.
Sometimes the ornamental tassel of
a chiffon or tulle scarf is a piece of
clever bijouterie. And the present
vogue for mannish shirts gives ex-

cuse for the display Of all sorts Of
interesting stud and cuf button sets.
An interesting explanation for the
present vogue for emeralds and
rubies has recently been offered. AS
every one knows, pearls and imita-
tion pearls have been worn almost to
the exclusion Of other jewelry of late
seasons and, as every ono knows,
none but a real expert can tell the
difference between real pearls and
the imitation. Thus the upstart
woman of fashion. lackingla a wealth
Of family heirlooms. has been able
easily enough to lay in a sufficient
supply of imitation pearls for all
occasions, and with them to appear
as well supplied with jewelry as the
duchess or hereditary heiress whose
pearls are the result of several gen.
erations of careful collection and
accumulation.
Meantime rubies and emeralds and
such colored stones are rather out
of fashion. Now the women who
pococoocS "nOIe DdSketIulS oI SuCu
precious trifles are protesting against
the craze for pearls and only pearls,
by bringing out their precious COL
ored stones which cannot be so sue
cessfully initiated as the pearls. In
France this has been quite apparent.
But the amusing thing about it all
Is that now that the fashion for
rubies and emeralds has been estab-
lished the fashionable woman, lack
ing old heirlooms of this sort, adopts
the fashion for the imitation sort.
What does she care whether 1t is real
or not? The whole thing is a passing
fad and If green glass is as effective
as emerals, why shouldn't she wear
It?

lust how to explain the wide vogue
for emeralds and emerald green
glass at the present time would be
difficult. But the fact is that the
transparent green stone is as smart
now as jade. the Opaque green stone,

who follows fads in jewelry as faith
fully as she does in millinery and
would as soon go in last years hat as

are even cube-shaped pearls. Some
