Fashions in jewels, real an) make-believe, have changaed .0 completely that most of the once carefully observed etiquette of the jewel-box is as out-of-date as horse hair brooches. Diseretion and unconspicuousness are words that have almost disappeared frorm the vocabularies of jewel-buying Parisians. French designers, like the wo- men they design for, have thrown the conventions of the last gen- eration out of the back door and embarked on an era of “the big- ger the better.” Not since dowagers wore ropes | of diamonds, dog-collar: fashion, around their throats has anything as spectacular as the diamond scarf appeared. It is supple and can be worn in many ways, even looped over and tied like a cravat. Its width and length varies with the purse of the purahgger. = Dia- mond bracelets are now so wile that diamond cuffs would be a more accurate name for them. Diamond belts are met with api diamond covered bags for evening | |are obtamanie in luxury. How much of this glitte; remains a matter of gu tiie slrr‘(‘,l:l of | casinos, (ahurels and theatr |is difficult to separate the t from the imitation. Precious stones which do not glitter go further than diampnds,' and their companion gems, emer- alds and rubies, in the matter of size. Ameth aquamarine :‘ and topaz appear in miniatuce| polished slabs. Onyx, jade anij| crystal are frequently measured in inches. Clouded crystal, which looks like moonstone, is the important element of the moment in jewel- ry. Designers of the “new school” are using it for almost every kind of ornament, including chains and| finger rings. The Rue de la Paix displays what might be ‘termed brooche: but are actually pendants meas- luring as much as six inches jacross and from six to ten inchds long. Crystal, onyx and jade ara; the main elements in these pen- dant-brooches. Even the lowly button is a!rec{-‘ ed by the change in jewel styles. It may be made of crystal or jade and carried home from the jewel- ers in a satin-lined box. SCIENTIFIC SCALE FOR FOOD TEST ‘FORMULATED —_— | WASHINGTON, Feb. 1—A new, the proteins and minerals as well as the calories needed by a fam'ly bas been developed by Dr. Edith Hawley, speclalist in the federal Bureay of Home Economics.
