Due to the prevailing fashion for
dressing up the hair with jewels or
flowers, earrings are not so important
When they are worn they are usually
OF the close, button variety. However
there are some women who wear their
hair well off the ears and do not like
hair ornaments, who achieve a very
chic appearance by matching car
rings, clip and bracelet
Gold crosses are being revived. They
may be had in all sizes from those
that suggest rewards Of merit for
faithful attendance at Sunday school,
to those that are heavy and very or

ecclesiastical sources. Hindu bells are
an opposite fad. These are golden
filigree balls that are worn in masses
on bracelets or necklaces. One Of the
most modern inspirations for jew

flowers of every size and description.

and fascinating pendant necklaces.

precious stones.
Great squares and oblongs of clear
stones2in sapphire. ruby, emerald
and topaz are we'll liked at the mo-

for evening. Rings fashioned of a
number of narrow bands of stones in
two colors are very smart. The CEN

others.

the bangle bracelet with its quantities

purse and every taste, and they are
no end Of fun to collect. Whatever
your hobby you will be able to ex-
press it In a row Of little trinkets
