FROM A JEWELLER'S WINDOW.

E

Beads are still wom a great deal as an ornament but they must: be really good ones, only such expensive mediums as ivory. amber, cornalia, unculturquoise, jet, opal or crystal being consider- ed worth the wearing.

Earrings are sxaggeratedly long. Some of them are such's length tbut they sweep the shoulder.

The round, gypsy type of ear ring is equally popular. This con- sists of three circles, each smaller than the other, suspended by a fine gold or platinum chain.

Jade and jet are two of the most popular non-precious stones used for earrings,, Eoms of the most beautiful samples are made of old gold or silver filigres work.

THE VOGUE FOR SILVER LACE.

Silver lace is the Intest craze of the moment. No smart evening frock or bead-dress can be classed as being really "cbic" a less this particular form of trimming is used.

It is introduced in the form of a cape for evening cloaks or evening gowns; a train or wide panels of it brighten up the most unis- teresting of evening frocks or tea gowns, and, twisted rope fashion round the waist, it makes a dainty finish to a while satin dance frock. The debut ante finds that silver lace is charming as a tonic over a simple frock in some pale shade.

Matrons favour floating side panels of silver with delightful little caps of the same fabric for evening Wear.

No matter in what form it appears, silver lace is certainly the most delight ful medium ihst designers have adopted for a long time past.

THE PRICE OF POPULARITY.

Nothing can be bad without payment, not even popularity. Many girls who years after this golden gift, forget the essential principle of life, which is "Pay

as you go.”

"Why is she so popular?” one often hears the question about a certain girl, and it is uttered with a little sigh af envy.

You meet the popular girl in every walk of life. On the links, on the tennis court, in the ball. room, in the office, she is in de mand everywhere.

The real secret of her popularity is that she partly dedicates her life to the service of others, that she is always ready to oblige, to do favour, to listen to a trouble, and to give advice.

Mind you, she does not always enjoy herself. Often she would mach rather creep away for mo evening by herself, but her friends, knowing what good company abe is, drag her out and seek her s their amusement "She is such good sort, a really jolly girl." Yes, the secret of popularity is service and sacrifice.

So many girls are thoroughly selfish towards each other. They would do anything within reason for one of the opposite sex, but they do not dream of doing & favour, that would cost them some time or trouble, for one of their

sisters.

MODERN" PETTICOATS.

Mcdern petticoats are made of one piece, and this is cut quite plain and on straight lines. AS L rule they are made to match in colour the dress with which they are to be word. For everyday wear, black and champagne ara the most popular colours.

Petticoats, however, aza very seldom worn, their place being taken by the handy combinat:on-jupon, which is a combination of petticoat acc camisole. [[ petticats are worn at all, it 13 under tailormades or dark skirts, or else under "period" dresses to accen- tuate the effect of fullness When des- at the bips. tined for this use they are made of stiff satin taffetas, and An added amount of gathers are

Velvet brocaded georgette crepe makes some of the loveliest negligees featured by the smart- est shops. It requiras practically no trimming, but must be cat and draped by an expert.

The wearer's monogram is the distinctive touch to many frocks and blouses. In the ready-to- wear shops, the monogram is frequently unintelligible, taking the form of a Chinese design or a

tantalizing hieroglyphic.

Here is the new coilure which smart women favour. The hair is fattened to the head in the Oriental manner and the forehead band is of platinum holding an emerald crystal in the middle.
