JEWELRY DESIGNERS
co ROMANTIC ALSO
BY CHERIE NICHOLAS

With romanticism gaining such a
Roadway in fashions for fall, small
wonder that jewelry manufacturers
have recognized it and are all set
for a hey-dey Jewelry, my good
woman, is not only getting bigger
and better, but practically all of it
has been inspired. Some of the in
SEPARATIONS are modern, but most Of
them have been drawn from an era
when romance was at it's height
and glamour stalked the world in
high places.
Such romantic figures as Empress
Carlotta, glamorous wife of the i'll
fated Emperor Macmillan who
reigned for such short time, 1854
1869 over Mexico; Joan of Arc;
grand duchesses whose jewels were
of such splendor as to have been
remembered; these, and lovely
ladies of the gay nineties and the
naughty naughts, are being immor-
talized, more or less, in smart
pieces of costume jewelry designed
by Alberta, one of Americas lead
ing costume jewelry designers.
The Empress Carlotta" jewelry
has been copied from some of her
pieces of jewels found in museum
in Mexico For evening it is the
most elegant, for it is made of Kim
berley gems which are cut and SET
like fine diamonds in "a karat gold
washed metal.
"Joan of Arc" jewelry is part Of
an all-metal group which Alberta
believes will be a big success for
fall. This line is made of silvery
metal studded like the doors of g
medieval castle.

Il he. hl1t for dependable WeaI

can be, but for dependable wear
it has no superior.
When the smartly dressed wom-
an steps out in gorgeously furred
costume as centered in the picture,
she will be the cynosure of admiring
eyes. This sheer wool model COM
bines tuxSdo-front coat trimmed
in a huge cross fox with a one
piece dress that is simply charming.
Note the decorative quilted flowers
outlined in gold thread at the neck
line. The gold kid belt adds the
finishing touch.
There is really no limit to the in
genuity displayed in the placement
of fur. It is used for separate
sleeves in cloth coats so much so
that the fashion has become quite
outstanding this season. The coat
with bolero top is ever so smart,
too. The newest wrinkle is the boz
lero type that has the lower cloth
part tipped on so that it can be
removed at will thus providing
jaunty little fur jacket or full length
coat. Among countless other fur
arrangements novelties are to be
seen such as panel of fur extend
ing down the back of the coat from
neck to hemline as if it were a
vatican pleat. Frequently double
borderings of fur occur about hem
lines.

Cymbalisn

Most people regard the cymbals
as an unimportant instrument in an
orchestra, but some of the most
striking effects are obtained by
them. Unless the note produced by
banging them has just the right
timbre they are useless, and manu-
facturers regard the production
of perfect cymbals as hit-or-miss
affair. But there is one cymbal
maker, according to London Tit-Bits
Magazine, who guarantees the right
tone every time. For centuries his
family have made cymbals, and he
possesses secret tempering proc
ess which makes them sought after
by every famous orchestra in Eu-
rope and America. Although he en-
ploys dozens of assistants, the tenn
pering of every pair is done by him.

inevitably happens? Well for one
thing it follows as the night the day
that designers turn to handsome furs
and fur trimmings as one way OF
conveying the message of elegance
in the mode.
Which accounts for the fact that
the new coats, suits and ensembles
show an enrichment of fur that en-
phatically declares an era of luxuri-
Gus dress. In consequence, women
who are fashion-alert have taken
their cue and are making it their
chief concern to acquire complete
ensemble costume styled of high
grade material ranging from rugged
colorful tweeds to refined duvetyns,
broadcloths or velvets that are
graced with precious fur-the sort
that bespeaks a Gladly of quality"
The models pictured have been
carefully selected from among a
collection shown at preview given
by the Style Creators of Chicago in
the wholesale district These furred
costumes were designed by mem
bers of their group to meet the de-
mands of women that class as
among the best dressed.
Perfect for crisp autumn days is
the outfit to the left in the picture.
The dress is of sheer black alpaca
weave. Its novel metal chain and
clasp closing showing between the
fur on the coat gives it military
bearing. The free-swinging corona
ton red wool coat is fascinating
garment, and it's tuxedo bands OF
marten fur make it more so.

Corn Boon to Colonists

The first Europeans to recognize
corn's Importance we're the English
colonists on our Atlantic coast.
Wheat they tried and it failed
them; and when the very existence
of the Massachusetts and James
town settlements hung in precarious
balance during those first hard win
tiers, it was corn that saved them.
Capt. John Smith forced every fam
lily of his little band to plant corn.
They were rewarded handsomely.
Like the sparse crops of the first
dawn Of civilization, it became a
means Of exchange, form of mon
ey. Surplus corn built up trade and
commerce, encouraged the growing
stream of immigrants crossing the
Atlantic, and opened the gates to
wealth and prosperity.

Mrs. Lloyd W. BiddIe De-
pIores Use of Narcotics
and Alcohol, in Address.

Or. Everett NJ Ellison has been
elected president of the united dry
forces of the District Of Columbia,
1t was announced today.
Vice presidents elected were Mrs.
Lloyd w. Biddle, in charge of tenn
pc ance education in schools and
churches; Col. William o. Tufts,
legislation and publicity; Dr. Tarlton
r. Roberts membership and finance,
and James R. Moss, work among
Negroes. Gordon Barnes was named
secretary treasurer.
At the annual meeting, which was
held at the Y. NJ. c. A. Tuesday night,
Mrs. Biddle addressed the delegates,
deploring the free use of alcohol and
narcotics and pointing out that the
main fight against these evils ought
to be directed among adults rather
than children. She said that young
people have always been influenced
materially in their personal habits by
' the conduct Of their elders.
The vice presidents will shortly
announce the legislative program to
be pushed during the coming year.
The organization is studying proposed
laws that include the Guyer bill for
strict prohibition for the District, a
measure to deal with the drunken
driver problem, and a law to require
liquor dealers to take care of the
victims Of drink and their families.
