When I was over there quite recently I asked some of my friends to show me their latest bits of nonsense for the bene- fit of my readers. They had the greatest fun, and a good deal of argument, trying to make up their minds which should be sketched, and which of them you could easily copy.

For pretty ears

Madame A., having extremely pretty cars, believes in bringing them out into the open, so to speak, and focusing atten- tion on them. She does it by the simple method of wearing a clip on the lobe, and in- the top of the car. other, a sightly larger one,

To shrieks of "How barbarous!" from fier friends, she points out that her cars are so very small that she needs something to accentuate them.

For tailor-mades

Being one of those people who dis- like frills and hate fussiness, Madame B. sticks to tailored clothes and makes up for it by wearing the most amusing accessories slic can find. Her latest notion is three little Negro heads which she pins on the right lapel of her Jacket, their jewelled eyes watching with a certain cynical composure the world as it passes.

By the way, she prefers to wear two pearl carrings on one ear and nothing at all on the other.

Not the Negro head ornament, they decided, but all the others could be adopted. The twin carrings idea, for example, and the veils, and even the watch. We agreed that the 1890 veil would look well only with very simple clothes on a very well-turned-out woman, so there's a hint for you. And that the very twin earrings would need a immaculate coiffure. But the charms

Off-the-forehead veils

Here's a notion in veils which should suit any one of you who has a pretty white forehead. Mademoiselle E., a young woman of some character, invented it for herself. She likes off-the-forehead hats, finds that veils add to-her charm, bul doesn't agree with the usual way of draping a vell. So she wears one which leaves a half-clrcle of her charming forehead unveiled, with an edge of trimming across her eyebrows.

She is careful to wear a veil with a pattern which comes in an awkward spot over her face. Says she doesn't want to look as though she is taltooed. But when she wears a veil reaching to well below her chin, she usually takes some trouble to find one with an original design round the edge.
