pin set with rhinestones and pearls, a quietly
effective piece. The necklace is Of rondels in
yellow and green interpreted with topaze beads.
The good-looking bracelet is of silver enameled
in black, red and yellow. Perfect with a simple
black frock would be the chain of silver squares
set with pearls from which Is suspended a carved
crystal set in silver and incrusted with pearls.
The bead necklace is Of cleverly simulated jade

double collar of white georgette combined with
