Jewelry Jargon: Load Yourself Down If women all over the country expressed a desire to “get loaded” this Christmas, don’t go drawing conclusions to the effect that the feminine contingent is lacking in moral responsibility. The chances are that the little ladies meant they were going to get loaded ' with jewelry. And if they do it will be a definite tribute to their fashion consciousness for the jewelry edict this season is “Load your self down.” Yes, this is the season when women can look into the jewelry cases and bring out all of the chains, bangles and spangles which have laid dormant during the period of the “bare beautiful” look.

For the gal who $fc>es not like bracelets, enor mous necklaces are recommended —and many of them. Of course, all of this is recom mended for “at home” wear. A sort of leisure time decoration to wear when lounging or viewing television. It can truly be said that the fashion experts showed rare wisdom in recommending this fashion in jewelry for wear at i home, for surely no one could or I would want to carry so much | weight around, even to be beauti ful. | Just a word of warning to | those who would venture into the fashion chain gang—be sure to concentrate the jewelry in one | place. That is to say, if you wear plenty of bracelets then omit the necklaces and vice versa. Then be very sure that the jewelry that is worn together is harmon ious in type, texture, idea and with the occasion. In short it could hardly be con sidered smart to mix rhinestones with heavy gold chains or with sturdy oxidized silver, no matter how beautiful each individual piece.

It may be the compara tive nearness to the tropics, where the coconut palm tree grows, that has made the taste as well as the look of coconut so much more popular in the South. Or^perhaps this region’s great feeling for cus tom and appropriate ceremony first suggested the idea and con tinued it into what is today a beautiful tradition, symbolic both of the religious meaning of the season and of the “White Christ mas” that the whole nation sings about when the spirit of Santa is abroad in the land.

The only permissable variation, it is held, is the addition of several table spoons of sherry wine or extract. But the term “ambrosia,” orig inally “food of the Gods (which • is jerhaps another reason why it is served at Christmas) has come to mean many things to many people. Modern ambrosias are as many and varied as there are combina tions of fruit and coconut.
