Add Glamour

Study Your Type

BY ELSIE PIERCE.

NEVER season like this one for

manner Of embellishments and jew
els are, more than ever, the final, daz-
zling accent. Fashion says 'the more,
the merrier" but we feel that jewels
should be weighted by beauty scale.
Jewels can, without a doubt, make
one lovelier. On the other hand, they
can go far in making one look lu-
dicrous. There are those who can
wear clips and necklaces, brooches
and bracelets, earrings and rings and
look very soignee. There are others
who would look overburdened, even If
the jewels happened to be very rare
| and valuable. Obviously, then, ones
type must be considered. The dainty
| china doll, petite type would seem
| as sadly askew wearing large rings,
massive pendants or bracelets as she

by wearing d row of bracelets would

fort. Know yourself. Know the Jew

or ornaments is quite as important as
choice of color and line in dress. True,
in jewels. particularly precious stones,
color seldom offends. Most colors
blend beautifully when intermingled.
But it is safest to strike a color har-
mony between dress and jewelry, nail
polish and costume rings and so ON.
Orange-toned nail polish above q gar
net will cause clashing note.
AS for line, remember that neck
lace like the neckline of a dress can
do much to make the face appear
longer or wider, the throat more slen-
der or full; bracelet can make the
wrist narrower or broader and SO on.
Choker type necklaces are for the
swan-throated only. Women with
wide faces or necks or double chins
should avoid them, choosing long
strands of beads instead or no neck.
laces at all. Slender wrists adorned
in bracelets are made more beautiful.
The eye is carried across. Then what
happens is there is excess flesh at the
wrist! And remember, too, that jew

my earnest advice to you is to put all

There is lots more profit in concen-

think of him, because at II you are
too young to really know anything

''pashes" and you will have a dozen
of these before you really find the

Keep your love for the boy secret.
