The Precious Trifes Are Not ExtruUaqances

HXTRAVAGANCES? The It'd
r. bits of finery, the precious
trifles, the multitudinous
extra fancies of today's mode.
Nothing could be more absurd
than to regard anything that en-
hances a woman's beauty, her
feminine charm, an extravaganza
And fashion this season offers
every woman the prerogative OF
iniulging her long inhibited de-
sire FOR little things that are
essentially feminine. Gloves, bags.
odd handkerchiefs, earrings.
clips. bracelets, necklaces. scarfs
0f fur and silk and wool-the list
IS endless. ard irresistible.
And g evidence shat thcre is Just
excuse for these fashionable 'cyscav.
agances" we are s~ketchng u number
that are a mere soupcon Of .he many
delightful items offered.
There Is first the old-fashioned col
lar of white ermine that would lend
a quaint charm TO a modern Miss. For

the picture of this bit of finery worn
over-perhaps a black velvet coat, OF
gown, or a frock of ruby red Then
a beaded evening bag Of white satin
mounted on a jeweled frame, char.
acteristic Of many of the decorative
bags that are being carried after dark.
And a bracelet Of pearls and rubies.
Indeed when one sees the wealth of
ruby jewelry items that are offered
as rare ornamental bits for all white
and all black gowns. n is prone to
think that Fashion has discovered the
hiding place of Aladdin's lamp. Suede
gloves, sixteen-button length trimmed
with shirring and jet buttons are a
fancy worth considering. And to Be
sure that one is up-to-the-minute there
il a silver and black enamel watch that
slips into pocket or bag.

fragile as spider webs, and as deli
cate as the opal for which the soft
mauve shade, newly introduced, is
named. A shirred black velvet beret
attains original chic by a matching
scarf that ties pertly under the chin.
An interesting conception of the ia
yored fur scarf is seen in the one
here developed in two tones of lapin
imposed in diagonal stripes.
The part that this tan and brown
calf bag would play in a smart brown
ensemble is obvious.
