Novelty Jewelry Is
Made of Anything

The fashion for gold accents on
black costumes persists. The jew
elry wrought in gold this season
is exquisitely detailed. The empha-
sis is on good taste rather than
bizarre effects.
Novelty jewelry is fashioned of
any and every medium that hap
pens to come to hand. Some of
the smartest jewelry items in the
novelty class have apparently "gone
nuts" They are made of actual nuts
linked together in ingenious ways.
The now-so-popular jewelry of
carved wood tunes beautifully to
the new costumes in autumn color
ings. Cork and felt are also new
media used in the jewelry realm.

Plaids have come and plaids have

wool plaids that grace the 1910 fall

plaids that have gone before. Wheth-

or not in the past, you are going to
be this season. Who could help yield
ing to the charms of plaid when it is
like the one pictured-a luxurious
soft wool done in gray and red in the

en- jumper worn under this eye-thrill-

and blowing as he tried to fool Bow
ser the Hound and get him so mixed
up that he couldn't follow Reddy's
track any further. At last he sue
ceeded and then, so winded and
tired that he could hardly walk, he
joined old Granny Fox. He painted
for breath as he dropped on the
ground at her feet. You see, he was
so fat and had done so little running
that he was in no condition to make
such long, hard run as he had had
to. Sparks of anger flashed from
Granny's eyes as she looked at him.

Reddy Fox, that you didn't try to
cross there. Now what have you
been doing? Haven't I warned you
to leave those ducks and chickens
alone? I wonder if you ever will
get any Fox sense into that silly
head of yours!"
Poor Reddy! It was bad enough
to have to run until he was out of
breath and tired enough to drop, and
then to be blamed for something he
hadn't done! 1t was too much.

ems and ducks!" he snapped. cts

I've almost forgotten what they

walked up just in time. That's all
I know about it,
Granny asked few questions and
Reddy told her about his dream and
how it had turned from beautiful
one into bad one, and then he had
walked up just in time to run for his
life. Reddy was so much in earnest
that Granny just had to believe him.
'"That's different" said she. sIt
