Hand-Wrought Silver Jewelry
BY MARY MARSHALL.

Americans and Europeans who have
recently been travelling in Northern
Africa have revived the fashion for
that heavy hand-wrought silver iewelry
that women Of Algiers and Morocco
have worn for centuries. Some of the
best pieces to be had are 200 years old,
but even the modern pieces cling to
the traditional decorative motifs that
make them look so primitive.
Il was. when was looking at a
really notable collection Of these neck
laces. plaques and bracelets recently
brought back from Northern Africa
and rejecting on how very much more
modern and more appropriate to mod
ern daytime frocks they were than the
suaar-coated jewelry made in this coun-
try generation ago that I learned
for the first time that bracelets really
have had place in the scheme of
things OF primitive women aside from
their mere decorative value.
These wide silver bracelets with their
finely hammered decorations all have
knobs-four or flve or six good, hard
knobs on each bracelet-knobs as big
as gooSeberries, mad of solid silver
And these knobs, 1 understand, were
very convenient devices for settling

of the community when mere sharpness
of tongue was Of no avail.
These North African bracelets are
really most attractive-even when you
know why the knobs are there-and
understand that Algerian jewelry is in
great demand for sports wear now in
Paris. The long wrought-silver pins
used by the desert folk to faSten their
hurnooses on their shoulders make eff
fectlve decorations for the side Of a
simple, soft, plain felt hat.
There seems to be no doubt OF the
continued vogue Of the bracelet. The
tendency at present seems to be to wear
one very wide bracelet instead of the
collection of four or lve or six that were
recently in favor, and new trick
in Paris is to wear one of these
wide bracelets outside the sleeve of the
coat or suit jacket.

Christmas presents and want something

Who cares for weary. blistered feet
When there is something good to eat?
II Buster Bear could have understood
what the half dozen hunters who pres
emily appeared were saying, he would
have had good chuckle all to himself.
They stood on the edge of the small
pond off in the woods on the back side
of the Great Mountain. With them
were two disconsolate dogs. These dogs
had followed the trail of Buster Bear
to the water edges edge. There they
had lost it for the very good reason
that Buster had gone into the water
and so left no trail.
Probably he swan across" said one
of the hunters. Here are his footprints
right on the edge of the water"
HE may have walked along the edge
of the water so as to break his scent"
said another hunter. This pond isn't

two parties. One party will take one
dog and walk around the pond one
way and the other party will take the
other dog and walk around the pond
the other way. In that way we are
bound to find where he left the water"
SO the hunters did as suggested. They
divided into two parties and one party
went one way and the other party
went the other way. and each party
had o dog. They were to follow around
the edge of the pond until they met.
And all the time Buster Bear was not
far away. He was under some over
hanging bushes and in the water. In
fact, only his head was above water
and this was hidden by an old log.
The hunters passed along the shore
within q few feet of him without seeing
him When they had gone far enough
for 1t to be safe for him to do so,
Buster left the water where he had
entered it. He took his back-track.
Presently. Buster came to rocky
ledge. Rocks do not hold scent very

this rock ledge. 1t led around the side
of the Great Mountain and upward.

THE DAILY
HOROSCOPE
Sunday, December 8.

Astrology finds tomorrow a rather
unimportant day in planetary direction
and for that reason time for rest
and relaxation.
There is an aspect favoring religious
observance and for this reason the
churches should benefit.
The sway Is favorable to plans for
charitable or philanthropic work. Col
lections should be unusually large, for
the rule encourages generosity
There is an adverse sign for meetings
with persons of opposite sex, for they
may be inclined to see each others
faults.
Words spoken tomorrow may cause
repentance and even future troubles.
In the home all should be happy
on that day, which gives the eyes power
to see the best in ones relatives.
Late in the evening the aged should
benefit from vibrations supposed to in
crease vitality and stimulate energy.
This aspect that affects old persons
may even cause the young to listen
respectfully to the wisdom Of the aged
There is a good sign for planning
social entertainments, and especially
Christmas celebrations.
College girls and boys should benefit
at this time, when parents should be
generous in the matter of spending
money.
Universities are subject to a planetary
government that is read as presaging
marked changes in educational policies
and a trend toward the practical that
will be later much criticized
Persons whose birth date it is have
the augury of year that brings pros
perity. Both men and women should
benefit through employment. They
should be wary of strangers.
Children born on that day probably
will enjoy prosperity. These subjects
of Sagittarius usually have fine brains
as well as splendid bodies. They may
be too hasty in temper for their own
good.

A FLICHERING LIGHTS SHADOWS.

Yellow is the color most nearly simu-
lating sunlight. 1t is not necessary to
have room done in yellow to get the
benefit of the hue. A rich yellow satin
sofa cushion will give patch of SUM-
light color. 1t is only in north rooms
that predominance of yellow is de-
Sirable.
If this color is not a favorite in
decoration, the next best Is red, either
in its pure tone or in one of its modi-
fed shades of rose. If in pure tone,
use but httle-a red vase, some red
candles. g. red cushion, red in the
Oriental rug or the domestic floor COW
ering, etc. Red is too stimulating for
much Of 1t to be used in strong tones
The popular rose tints can be intro
duced lavishly. These are delightful in
their hints of sunlight in a mellow hue.
Accenting high lights Is what sun
shine does. 1t is this that brings out
shadows. In Stimulating sunshine effects.
the best the decorator can do is to
stress the high lights. Shadows re-
quire focusing Of light either from SUM-
shine or freight or other artificial
glow. Lamps and an open fire will do
this, but these Immediately enter into
the province of evening effects rather
than the daytime cheer of sunshine

sunshine, they miss the cheerfulneSS of
its constant light. Therefore, it is not
strange that in interior decoration the
stimulation of sunlight has become a
recognized factor during the Winter

cember.
There are many ways in which the
cheer of sunlight brightness can be
gained. First of all, in order to get
these results the home decorator must

to a room? 1t makes a radiant glow,
for one thing. and this is the chief
asset decoratively It brings out the
gayety of color and quelIs the dark

light and shade.
The use of metals in decoration is
one way TO get the simmer akin to
the suns rays. BrasseS are famous for
their sunIke reflections and high lights.
Silver and pewter give back the white
lights. Highly glazed yellow and bril-

Ruth Chatterton has been working
in motion pictures for some time now.
But the public has not yet seen her,
although she has completed three films.
One reason for this Is that her first
work was done opposite Emil jan
nings. and the films this celluloid genius
makes are carefully edited before being
given to the public. Another reason
is that Ruth Chatterton has been max
ing "talkieS' and this line Of endeavor

Ruth Chatterton has silken tech
