MAKE-UP FOR
JEWELLERY

Fashion frowns on a certain article of jewellery, and we have to lay it aside until that fickle lady gives us permission to dis- play it again.
A case in point is the brooch, which has been "out" for some time, but is once more to have a prominent place in our personal adornment.
After such retirement, gold or silver articles usually assume a dull and uninteresting appearance, but rouge will restore the natural co- lour to their complexion. It may be applied on a piece of wadding, and a final polish should be given
with a soft chamois. On an en- graved or chased surface you will find it better to use a small soft brush in place of the wadding. A small stencil painting brush does admirably. N
Pieces, of gold or silver jewellery not containing stones that are vary dirty may be given a preliminary bath in..warm soapy water to which a little soda has been added. Dry very carefully with a soft cloth.
