Only the Pacific slope has escaped

that they are not loved for them
selves alone, now. Rather, a vivid

some exquisite pin. New kerchief

enamel, synthetic jewels and other
fancies.

Floral Pattern Bracelets

black enamel tracerles here and
there to enhance the iacinesS of the
ornament. Four jeweled flowers
