HAT BROOCHES,

ONYX AND CORNELIAN:

Hat brooches' are to becas. popular as ever during the coming season, and these pretty ornaments are becoming the excuse for all sorts of quaint conceits in the way of jewelled hat decoration,!

Bird jewellery is a craze of the moment, and so designs with birds predominate in hat brooches. A pair of storks. flying, ad eagle about to pounce on its terrified. prey, a hawk after a pigeon, two gpese fighting, all silhouetted In diamonds, are a few of the unusual ideas seen in this very modern type of jewellery. A cavalry, sword, showing only the hilt and the point, and suggesting that the rest Is thrust through the hat, is another striking brooch of, this kind.

Onyx, cornelinn and jade are used a great deal as tips on these. pin brooches, and the chic woman wears real diamonds in her hat as: often as paste, though the latter. are so exquisitely set that it is difficult for any but an expert to tell the difference.

The New Patchwork.

Scraps of bright coloured materials can be used to form an uncommon trimming for cushions, table-cloths and similar articles. Cut them out into circles, diamonds, leaf shapes, &c, button- bole stitch the edges to prevent fraying, and applique them as taste dictates...

The top of this pad is decorated with the figure of a girl about to scale a fence; while the foot of the fence acts as a trump Indicator. A pencil is, of course, attached to the pad...

COCKTAIL GLASSES. "

Cocktails havo become. the Inevitable preliminary to the modern dinner party. At one time- we used sherry or port glasses for serving these liquid appetisers; now, however, special sets of glass ware are designed for the purpose, and if we would be very smart and up-to-date, we must possess a socketed tray of them arranged round a plated cocktail shaker.

A set of cocktail glasses of unusual design are of plain crystal glass each with a bright glass cherry at the bottom, which in all but taste and substance suggests the "cherry in ft" that people ask for in an aperitif.

Miniature cut glass coaching. tumblers are a variety of cocktail glasses, but tall stems and open bowls reminiscent of antique sherry glasses appear to be most popular. Two-colour glasses are a rage of the moment. Bowls of amber tone on thick stems of opaque milky-white, and crystal on jade-green atems are particularly elfective..

"Shaking" a cocktail is quite an art, and demands an expert know- ledge of the constituents of dif- ferent alcoholic liquors and the order in which they may be blend- ed. Any attempt by a novice to invent a new mixture would* almost certainly be disastrous. There are several books published giving the correct mixtures for the different well-known cocktails, and clogo adherence to the list of in- gredients and directions in shaking if the only assurance of success.
