Wearing Ornaments.
[By a Jeweller.]
Don't wear long ear-rings if you· have a long oval face,
Don't wear any but long, dangling earrings if your face is short and brand.
Don't choose a choker necklace of big round bends unless you have deflente features. That kind of necklace tends to coarsen the features.
Don't wear many rings unless your hands are both well shaped and well kept.
Don't wear real and imitation jewellery at the same time,... ·
Don't wear long strings of beads with a dance frock. They are cer- tain to catch on something and break; and fancy beads are almost impossible to match.
"Don't always affect turquoise ornaments Just because they match your eyes. And-
Do remember that jewellery should be chosen for its beauty as well as for its value.
Rainy Day Fashion.
That "dressmaker.... touch” that all smart costumes crave now has reached coats that are worn when the skies are dark.
Jenny, with that infallible touch of youth she transmits to all her things, has fashion- ed the raincoat pictured above that uses all the leaves' - com louring in its plaid. It in crepe de chine, in belge, with red brown, green and goid stripes.
It is cut with raglan sleeves that shape into a slender wristline, with a panel of box pleats down the front that. Bare from the bipline to give the cout width at the lower edge. The collar is like a man's shirt collar and can be .worn with the points standing,
