ABOUT. JEWELLERY.
SMART CRYSTAL.:
As our clothes tend to be softer and more elaborate in outline thia' winter, you would expect jewellery to, take a back seat, or, at least, no longer to be as important as it was on our severely plain garments:
But not a bit of it. Jewellery is more chic than ever, but there is one distinction, it must have. It must be new! It can be made of jewels, semi-jewels, sham jewels, glass, enamel, steel, wood-or aluminium-how light and practi- cul for the first dozen or two of one's bracelets' in the evening: you could put some diamond ones on the top.
However, if you are too con- ventional for these movelties, and just want to wear the smart jewellery of the moment, you must give away your really "popularly" priced pearls, which are no longer the last word by several paragraphs.

For atting-rooms they look very well in large shapes for floor or pendant lamps in one colour edged with bands in a contrast, and they are very easy to dust. Charming little table standard lumps made of lightly coloured' erinoid to match the colour scheme of the room and fitted with a shade of the same are delightful for bed- side or dressing-table in a bed- room, where the skin shades, which are also very popular, would be out of place. The compressed milk can be cut to any wire frame and made up just like silk.
