Jewellery always attracts the feminine eye.

It should be select- ed with care as jewellery may al- ways be counted on to indicate the inherent taste of the person who wears it. It is possible to wear novel effects and yet not go in for tawdry jewellery and the wise per- son eclects her novelty jewellery with care. Just now the single strands of pearls with interesting objects at their ends are being fea- tured. Bracelets in amber are much seen for sports. Onyx is used in combinations and creates an extremely interesting bracelet. Wooden bracelets in queer shapes and stained in all sorts of colours

are also being worn, while the bangle effects are still popular.

Black satin handbags are a new feature of the day. They come in all shapes and add an interesting

SUGGESTIONS FOR SOLVING CROSS-WORD PUZZLES

Start out by filling in the words of which you feel reasonably sure. These will give you a clue to other words crossing them, and they in turn to still others. A letter belongs in each white space, words starting at the numbered squares and running either horizontally or vertically or both.
