VICTORIAN FANS

GRANNIES TREASURES..

The up-to-date dance girl, anxi ous to find something new in the way of faps, apart from the ubiquitous ostrich plumes, is using Victoriin fan of black vel- prim vet or satin, desbrated with equal ly prim Victorian flowers. either painted or in wool work,

There are grandmothers who re- member going to balls in the '80's and using fans of similar appear- ance and those who can turn out their treasure boxes and provide genuine examples of the new-old fans are being blessed by their granddaughters.

Roses, poppies, or roses mingled with forget-me-notes, are the most popular flowers for decorating these fans, and the designs must follow the crudity of Victorian crewel work. Old antimavasaars and pianoforte "fronts are being turned out and the designs copied for painting on the new fans.

Another novel idea. that is be- coming very popular for evening use and which especially fits in with the more demure type of fan is the jewelled gauntlet. These gauntlets, made of silk or velvet and embroidered with mock pre- clous stones or beads, are being worn instead of bracelets by the modish dance girl." They serve the dual purpose of being decorative and useful, in that they keep the wrists warm on ehilly evenings.

LATEST FASHIONS,

IN SEMI-PRECIOUS STONES.

Semi-precious jewellory grows mora. popular as it grows more beautiful. Today everyone is wearing colourful jewels which are either real or in imitation of Oriental stones and settings. A great many women look with dis- dain upon the cheaper imitations und regard only real stones act in handwrought getting with approv-

al.

Bracelets are the most Important jewellery items of the day. Ear rings are rarely worn except upon formal occasions since the entire fashion trend in dressing is for sports or semi-sports wear. Rings of semi-precious type harmonize with bracelets. The well-dressed womanl harmonizes necklace, bracelets and rings of semi-pre- cious type with her day costumes and keeps her diamends and pearls for evening wear...

Among the most beautiful cos Lume Bracelets are those made of jade, carnelian, crystal amethyst, lapis, amber, turmaline or tur- quoise, set in hand-wrought silver links or gold links. Carved stones are considered even lovelier than smouth stones where bracelets are concerned. Wide band bracelets of Indian type, set with old tur quoise stones are well likud al- though most of the most costly bracelets are of Oriential type. Recently introduced are huge-cry- stal rondels strung on ting silver chain with occasional large round crystal or amethyst beads dividing the rändels.

A new bracelet of exotic type is the which is five inches wide in band form. This slips over the wrist without having a clasp since it leaves a portion of the arm show- ing. An unusual bracelet of inex- pensive type is the narrow silver Band which terminates in an arrow of brilliants. This also slips over the arm wtihout clasping, leaving a portion of the fleah exposed so as though the arrow were actually run through the flesh.

Colour must be considered, too -not only the colour of one's other jewellery, but the colour of one's hand. A diamond ring calls for alls perfectly manicured, or the effect of the alining stone merely calls attention to their lack of bril liance.

"Queer stones," settings cluttered up with sma]]< diamonds, anything in the way of a stone that is obviously an imita- tion--these things are much worse when they appear in a ring than they would be in an earring or a brucelet.

Since rings should be real, it is indeed fortunate that they no lon- ger have to be numerous. In fact, they must not be. One ring is quite. enough; one on each hand is the permissible, maximum. To be sure, most smart women own a great many more rings than this, chosen because they go with some particular ensemble; but to wear them all at once is to confess oneself old fashioned...

When asked why he didn't play | Shakespeare sometimes, Sir Gerald that he laughingly remarked hadn't got the necessary brawn, and Shakespeare supplied the brains, so the idea didn't attract him. What an avalanche he might have brought down on his head from Shakespearean acters in general; but of course he was only pulling their collective legs, I am sure.

The Street of Adventure,

A book that you must read, whatever kind of literature you favour in the ordinary way, 19 "Memoirs of a Court Photo- grapher," by Richard N, Speaight, F.R.PS. (Hurst & Blackette). Mr. Speaight has photographed overy- body who mattors, English and foreign; royal and semi-royal, and he has interesting things to tell us about them all.

it is particularly interesting to hear how the great ones of the earth behave on these occasions,

Incidentally, Mr. Speight was one of the frat men to abolish that beautiful style of photography wherein all of our ancestors, young and old, leaned gracefully against a rustle gato and clutched a basket of flowers with an ex- pression indicating that they were momentarily anticipating the ar- ing of a powerful gun in the 'vicinity.
