she whispered.
"He-he'S just a friend, a

Thad Parsons lifted his hat.
Peter did the same. Their he

a single strand of pearls in
back, joined to the three strands
by rounded clasps of set-in
pearls on gold. This girl would

resist showing how exactly they
match the side clasps Of the
necklace. You could buy all

a slight bit more; the ear

No afternoon costume is quite
complete without pearls. Vel
vet or satin or just silk crepe
feels far more elegant set off
by their lustre. And the very
incest thing about them is the
equally flattering effect they
give to every type of beauty.
We can have blue or brown
eyes, red hair or any old color,
flat feet or crooked teeth, and
still the wearing Of pearls adds
a touch of charm to any one
of us that we can't afford to
overlook.
Some of the reasons are H.
lustrated in the sketches. Just
a few, you understand. And
some of the least expensive.
But. no matter what the quail
ity, fashions absolutely positive
that a single strand of pearls
is not enough to get you
through a SeaSon-not this
season.
Grab 1t UP!
No, variation is the thing.
It can be had quite simply
and you'd be surprised how in
extensively. OF course, a dol
lar buys a necklace any day,
but lots of them are atrocious.
When q trim, little pecklace Of
pearls and crystals-and dia-
mond-cut at that-are found
at this price, there's just one
thing to do: grab it up and
wear it home! Those little
crystal droplets in the first
sketch will suit the neckline
of most any costume you hap
pen to have on.
Pearls for COIOred Costumes
There actually are pearls to
60 with any costume color of
the Season-would you believe
it? Well, the second sketch
shows one way it's done. The
necklace doesn't have to be
four strands, with the colored
beads directly in front and the
pearls on the sides. The COL

alternate around the throat.

help ME. We moved to this
town not quite a year ago. The
few people I know have been
very nice to me, but I do not
feel at home with them. My

have ry much chance to meet
anyone. We have had two or
three parties since we moved

I repeated it.

How long will that take?"
