NEW YORK, Dec. 2.-In the new
feminine mode, the importance of
accessories stress the truth in that
old saying, 1T is the little things
that count"
Certain it is that women must be
more than careful in their choice of
accessories this winter. For with
the advent of more femininity,
dressier touches are in vogue, and
unless these are restrained and in
good taste they can utterly destroy
that well-groomed, correct look that
women desire.
Costume jewelry Is greatly In
vogue and one of the worst pitfalls
for some of 1t Is so cheap and vul-
gar-looking that no woman should
wear II. Other pieces, however, are
conservatively designed, made of
good materials and color and are
pleasantly decorative to ones cos
tune.
Necklaces tend to be much more
graceful than last year. BY this
mean that, instead of heavy ropes
necklaces have a fine strand of
delicate metal, crystal or rhinestone
circling the back Of the neck, with
two, three or four pearl strands
swinging from the front.
Some Brilliants in Necklace
The pearl necklace invariably has
some brilliants in it, rondeus of
crystal, insets of rubies and
emeralds, and often a handsome
pendant of diamonds and pearls.
some new pearl necklaces incor-
porste into the sides of their
s.alds, heirloom earrings set fiat
II a link. or use as a pendant an
antique brooch of carved gold.
Necklaces for daytime are shorter
and for night wear longer than be-
fore. The in-between necklace is
not so good. The best of the cos
tune jewelry has fine workmanship
and is delicate and feminine rather
than bizarre and modern.
Purses provide plentifully for
various occasions. Leather and
fabric morning purses are apt to be
oblong, medium sized or even large
shapes, with handbags as popular
as envelopes. For afternoon, they
appear in soft suedes, brocadeS and
flne fabrics, smaller, often narrow
across and long up and down or
round, Octagonal or other unusual
shapes.
White Jade on Black Bag
They have fine fasteningS, mon
ogram5 in brilliants being a good |
choice, and some are decorated with |
real jewels. Evening purses are
brilliant, sclntillating pastel colored
and gold or silver CONNECTIONS, lined
with gorgeous MORE, many fitted
with handsome evening compactS
and perfume bottles.
One black velvet evening bag has
a decorative urn Of white Jade filled
with flowers made of imitation dia-
mondS and pearls. Another evening
bag of singular loneliness is a bro
cade of old Persian print COM
bining rose, silver and green, With
a taSSel Of pearls.
HandkerChiefS add one of the
liveliest of evening touches. Large
chiffon squares, circular swirls of
chiffon or big petalled ones of
shaped pieces of chiffon all are seen.
They are much larger than mems
handkerchiefs. and usually match
ones shoes and jewels in color.
The latest novelty in evening
handkercbiefs is that of black chif-
fon with ones coat of arms in lace
inserted n the center. These come
from Paris, and many continental
nobleWonen carry them. A gold yell
low chiffon with handmade lace for
one corner is very dainty and fem
mime.
Scarfs have changed their type
to grow more individual and femi-
nine One daytime ensemble of be-
ret and scarf, a RebouX import, has
its beret tailored of brown and blue
velvet, its scarf tailored stock that
has a chic new formality about it.
Scarf and bag and shoe ensembles
continue to be popular for sports
wear, but the ensemble idea is not
so good for afternoon.
Gloves Are Longer
Gloves are longer this season, with
shoulder length suede in pinky tones
the accepted evening mode. These
are worn wrinkled down at the
wrists. Six and eight-button length
are worn on the street and the
palmer and finer the glove, the
better.
The same is true of shoes. IN
stead Of startling models and BIZ
sarre combinations. new shoes may
use suede and lizard or other fancy
skin but it blends the colors per-
fectly to avoid any appearance OF
elaborateness.
Evening slippers are glamorous
but elegant is their cut and gold
