WHAT WOMEN ARE WEARING IN LONDON-PARIS-NEW YORK

Bracelets, bars of metal, fancy ornaments of Victorian Infuence --these are internationally femi- nine trinkets for autumn.

Modern fancies in the way of trickets take strange forms. All kinds of quecer ornaments are in- vented to pander to the whims of the fashion-minded

Some of the bracelets seen in London to-day are wide as slave girls' anklets, and like stiffened bands of red glass or of jelly. trozen into a hard substance!)

The queerest contrapitions like twisted bits of metal are supposed to suggest folded material; for in-. stance there are bows and loops of, pleated twists of oxidised silver

or of brassy-looking metal.

A great deal of glided jewellery is likely to be smart Big brooches and clips of gilded metal have the outline of a leaf. A pattern is embedded in the centre of this. In coloured stones, chiefly vivid ruby red and bottle green.

Just as, in Parts, rubles and 'did- monds (real or imitation) are seen everywhere where jewels are worn

or shown, su, in London. ruby stones are having a vogue for less expensive trinkets.

There are nonsense vanities in plenty. The "Scottie" and "Sealy- ham" in pill-box red and vivid bluc are sports brooches; and a little wire-haired terrier is a po- pular little fellow on a long leather leash (which forms the brooch pin).

Sailor boys hernpipe, rakish looking peasans smirk, butterflies fly in captivity, and in wondrous colours, which Nature doesn't choose. All are meant to decorate. scarves or coat revers this Autumn and Winter.

Some Evening Dresses

Winter evening dresses will be formal and of rich fabrics. Gold silm and silver brocades make dresses with square necklines and ankle-length skirts. Frequently these skirts are rounded up into a slit on the left side," while others are simply silt on both side seams. A pink and silver lamé dress may. have a draped bodice of black lace which is knotted behind the shoulders and falls to the hem in long scarf-ends.
