THE ruby, with its clear, luscious
tones of rose and red has beer
chosen by dreSsmakerS and
Il jewellers to take the place OF
honor among precious stones
this Autumn. So here you are-rubies
for bracelets, earrings, rings, necklaces
and brooches-real rubieS that are q
costly as diamonds, simulated rubies
and rubtes that are made of glass.
Either alone or paved with diamonds
fhineStoneS or some less expensive
equivalent, they are the smarteSt of all
ornaments for the pure white evening
dress that Is so smart at the present
time. They are also chosen to wear
with the soft, delectable pastel tones
that are used for evening.
Striking, but In excellent taste, is q
pastel green evening dress worn with
ruby necklace and bracelets. Rubies of
deep, cranberry tone are chosen to
go with brown daytime clothes, and
with soft-gray tones which have won
their way to favor among the dis
eliminating, the ruby is chosen to give
the needed note of color.

TURQUOISE takes second place
= among gem stones this season and
Is regarded as the smartest choice for
the black costumes, either for day or
evening. It Is also worn with white
and with certain light pastel tones, and
may be combined with some of the
rich browns that are so important at
the present time.
If you have chosen black, then It Is
well to remember that for daytime
wear turquoise colored jewelry takes
pre-eminence and that touruuoise may
also be worn with the black evening
dress. Coral Is worn with the black
evening dress and for both day and
evening may be worn with Jade, which
Is often combined with white crystal
and black.
With the white evening dress, rubies
stand first, then come turquoise and
jade.
With pastels, rubies or turquoise:
with light pastel blue coral Is snnartest
With gray you may choose either
coral or ruby. With certain greens you
may wear jade, with others turquoise,
though usually plain gold or silver or
naments are preferred By way Of con-
trast.
YELLOW gold Is decidedly smart
With brown, while amber and tor
toise shell ornaments are also decidedly
good, and for daytime wear there are
some interesting ornaments made from
brown wood combined with yellow gold.
Rubies and imitation stones OF q cram
berry red tone are worn with red. There
is dep red onyx that has been brought
forward as q complement TO brown.
Actually there Is no stone that Is not
considered fashionable this season. and
imitation stones are made IN AL cOlcrs
Of the rainbow. TO wear with the
navy blue dress there are necklaces
and other ornaments showing navy blue
beads and light blue beads together,
and lapis lazuli has q place Of prime
Importance among the best jewellers at
present.
pEARLS never 90 out OF favor ana
this season there are charming
brown pearls to wear with the brown
costume. Some Of the newest pearl
jewelry for evening shows q combina.
ton OF black and white pearls.
Clear white jewelry remains q IA
always appear to excellent advantage
with velvet, and velvets are chosen for
many formal afternoon and evening
dresses. Many Of the coIored stone
ornaments are set or rather paved with
diamonds or rhinestones
Opals are still considered unlucky BY
many women, but the present vogue
for very dark tones has brought them
into fashionable Importance, for whether
opals cause jealousy or not, there is no
denying the fact that they possess q
marvellous fire that refuses to be
quenched by the darkest and dullest
Of surroundings.
