a SIXRSSTe.. oe remem ome SOARES 4 NARROW FLOWER PRETTIEST OF EVENING HAHEADDRESSES AVEN'T you frequently met a ly gowned, t who radiated an atmosphere of exquisite taste and unusual smartness? And ff you had stopped to reason out Just how you received this impression, you are very likely to have discovered that it was due to her irreproachable and distinctive accessories. I would not be so absurd, of course, as to say that a handsome pair of slipper buckles, for instance, would redeem careless grooming or a deplorable lack of judgment in se- lecting one’s attire. But given the right background, and the Uittle touches which one adds seemingly trifing in themselves assume the utmost importance. Tho Carefully Adjusted Veil, You know how one’s eyes almost unconsciously focus upon a miser- ably adjusted veil, no matter how charming is the gown with which it is worn, nd is so difficult, isn't it, to arrange the lower edge neatly? Many of the newer veils are made with the edge ornamented, either with chenille dots in graduated sizes, or wita a scroll-like design in silk stitchery. This not only provides a decorative note, but it makes the yell so much easier to handle. One smart shop is displaying veils with the slenderest of silken braids ap- plied in novel designs and with a silver wheel-like affair at either side, A veil such as this is stunning when thrown backward over the hat, and BAN DEAL lS ONE oF THE frequently supplies the only trim- trimming the hat needs. The Tip of the Chin, The highly colored veils of last season are not in evidence; black being the favorite, with a decided lik- ing for the shades of brown and especially for taupe. Many of these show small dots and are worn with the lower edge just touching the tip of the chin, thus doing away with that line which is so ugly when worn with low-necked frocks. Grapes and More Grapes. Tn these days when no self-respect- ing woman appears in public without a neck chain of some sort—and many even wear them en dishabille— there are neck adornments in multi- tudes from which to choose. But among them all there {s none more individual and certainly none more fascinating than the new grape jew- elry. This is a replica of real grapes in miniature, being about the size of the end of one’s thumb. The bunches of grapes, which may be had in pearls, in coral, jade, black or very natural looking purple, are worn on a black silk cord with slides which match the color of the grapes. Coral is a favorite at the moment, and like al] the others may be had also in earrings, and the most adorable bracelets to match, One of the dain- tiest and prettiest things about this jewelry is the leaves which top the clusters. As a rule, these are of sil- ver and may be set with brilliants. Pearl grapes at the end of a black silk cord are exquisite worn over black velvet, and when accompanied by pearl grape earrings, which have a single’ large pearl at the top of the chain where they meet the ear, the effect is ultra smart. And gold Do’s and Don’ts for the Home Decorator With a Slender Purse HE woman with a taste for T beautiful things and a limited income is all too frequently discouraged when she sees the lovely photographs of effects achieved by rkilled decorators and artists. “But,” she sighs, “Just think of the amount of money they had at their disposal; no wonder their r of studied simplici and beaut And then, sighing again, she throws down the magazine or article in dis- sust, and despairs of ever improving her home and surroundings because of her limited means Simplicity Above All, But while a slender purse is, no douht, a drawback, it need not be an insurmountable obstacle in the mat- ter of interior decorati Beautiful things cost money, there's no deny- ing that, but beautiful effects may be achleved by combining quite simple and inexpensive articles A little time color sc matter of yleld uneapected 1 Rr fuse to purchase anything, however lovely or tempting or cheap, , that does not harmonize with the settled scheme of your room. Such an un- wise purchase would be, in the end, the height of extravagance, for if the offending article ts used, it upsets all the preconceived plans and in- troduces a jarring note into an oth- erwise harmonious plan; and if it is laid aside in disgust because it does not “match,” the money expended upon it was worse than wasted. Don’t Overcrowd. The next rule of interior decorat- ing is “Don't buy too much.” There is nothing so ugly and unsightly as an overcrowded room, as with all other things in this world, there ts such a thing as oven of beauty. overcrowd. The arrangement and grouping of flowers and flower vases is one of ways of achieving getting too much So remember not to the most geod effect usual edented opportunities to the woman who is alive to the possibilities in things. One of these bowls in mod- erate size with perhaps one or two bright-colored fish in ft, hung by plaited raffia cords from the win- dow frame makes a very attractive decoration for an open window and, if desired, a sort of mat may be woven of the raffia to which the cords may be attached and in which the bowl may rest. A sprig or two of growing green lends color, The Use of Candles, Just such a small thing as the placing of a pair of candlesticks and the hanging of a picture niay make or mér a room. It is armost an in- variable rule that the pletures in a room look better hung rather low. A small hall table may be converted into a thing of beauty If it is kept en- tirely bare of all sorts of ornaments except two candles at elther end with a long panel picture or mirror hung low on the wall just between. distinetly be unique vase may made from @ discarded tobacco jar, and for Winter, when cut flowers are scarce or very expensive, it may be converted into a ,sldfish bowl. There is another little rule to keep in mind in the artistic furnishing of a house, and that is, that it pays in the end to pay around price for something that is really good and will prove satisfactory rather than spending money on a number of doubtful articles, One good piece of Japanese tapestry is better for a small table mat than all the medi- ocre embroidery in the world. And one really good painting adds more to the effect of a room than all the cheap prints in creation, So here are just a very few of the do’s and don'ts of interior decorating. Remember not to introduce jarring color notes, and not to overcrowd. Remember that the best effects are the most simple, and that one really beautiful article is worth a wholo shopful of inferior or commonplace leaves with pearl grape jewelry are even more delightful. There is nothing “old-timey” about the latest arrivals 2t the ring counter. These are huge cabochon-like affairs of jade or onyx backed and narrowly bordered with silver and entirely cover the first joint of the finger. Smart jewelers tell me that the lat- est idea is to wear them on the third finger of the right hand, which will be well for you to keep in mind, as it is rather a departure from the established custom. They are both oval and rectangular in shape, and one of the most striking is a rec- tangle set at an angle. The Smart High Comb. As I stood thinking of the way in which a distinctive ring can accent the grace of one’s hand at a dinner or evening affair, the buyer called my attention to a number of exceptional- ly smart high combs. And I know you will like to hear about them, for no “occasion” coiffure is considered finished this season without one. The fan shape is a favorite at the moment, although many do not think it as graceful as the typically Cas- tillian combs. A fanlike affair with the sticks’ alternately black and a brilllant color, with the colored sticks bordered with tiny jet beads, is artistic and most effective. Going from one’s top to one’s toe, we notice that the tongue slipper is easily in the lead. It comes in all sorts of leathers and fabrics, satin brocades being much in yogue. By the way, did you know that tongues may be purchased separately and at- tached, so that if your beloved slip- pers are plain they need no longer be behind the times? A tongue of al- ternate strips of satin and jet is stunning. Buckles with the tongue of shirred satin backing them are one of the smartest notes in foot- wear, And for the brown slipper nothing is better than the tongue of leather and bronze beading. But, whatever it may be made of, the up- to-date pump must have a tongue, and it may run the gamut from plain leather to semi-precious stones, with an accent on cut steel. Above these trim, debonair crea- tions, with their rounded toes and their Spanish heels, milady will wear a sheer stocking, which, if her costume gives the least excuse for so doing, will be of taupe or fawn, or perhaps gun-metal. Cobwebby black hosiery, as always, has fashion's de- cided sanction. And openwork pikes clocks! Who can resist their in- trigue, despite the addition which they have the power of making in the price ticket? Even sports hosiery flaunts a smart clock. And have you noticed how many of the good shops are display- ing sports hose in tiny, tiny checks; sometimes in two and again in three colorings? There are also stockings for outdoor wear which fayor the dia- \ mond-shaped check, and in these black with gray are very good look- ing. i One’s purse is another accessory of the greatest importance. Havo you noticed that the newest are pouch-shaped? And that filigree metal in antiquo gold and silver is much used for tops?
