OlcUTime Cameos for Girls
i N OLD-TIME romances the hero
fill ot tho 8tory was Pretty sur
JLjJ some time In the course of it,
to present the heroine with a
tMVliitlffil ra mfn pntnthinir nnHr:t
that he had picked up in his travels, a
cameo with a foundation of delicate sea
shell pink. Just the shade of the girl's own
delicately tinted cheeks. Perhaps the girl
of today wears deeper roses In her cheeks,
for she Is a healthy-creature, hut she will
not object to the same beautifully toned
and carved cameos. She may have any
number of them, for they are being made
up for her In all the ways a twentieth cea
tury girl can desire.
Let any girl who thinks that cameos aro
not coming Into vogue visit the shopa
where antiques of any kind are to be found,
and If there Is a cameo in the collection
the proprietor will ask her J30 or J40 foe
It without moving an eyelash. And It ia
the identical kind of a pin that a few;
years ago, if it were an heirloom descended
from grandmamma or great-grandmamma,
she would have put aside without a
thought Hut the dealer in antiques knows
bis business, and he knows that with a,
revival of the old styles of dress, and with
the reappearance of old-time materials,
nothing Is more appropriate in the way of
Jewelry than the cameo.
The old-time cameos were mado up
chiefly in brooches, but those of today
appear in many other forms. The largest
are for belt clasps, and there are stick
pins of cameos, cuff buttons in the pret
tiest shapes, cuff links and flexible brace
lets which are charming.
It is the carving, not the color, which
counts In the cameo, and that beautiful
pink in which the romancer delighted may
be had at the same price as the soft
brown shades. It is all in the cutting, and
the girl who, perhaps, does not care so
much for this as to have her cameos
match the gowns or accessories that stie
Wears milts herself as to color.
bracelets are, perhaps, the newest things
In cameos. Tbey are formed of small me
Balllon cameos, some of the stones being
pink and others having the foundation la
hades of brown. These are linked together
In a way which makes the bracelet flexible,
and the reault Is a pretty trinket which
can be bought for U5. Some of the medal
Bon are l!tU larger than the other
forming larger bracelets, but the price la
pauaJly the urn.
Pins range Is Mze from tho small stick
pin through tho variety of small brooches
up to the larger ones as big us those our
grandmothers wore to fasten their fichus
at the throat of their broad embroidered
turnover collars. The girl of today wears
theso same pretty things, and the cameo
pins can be used in the same wuy. Brooches
range from $5 up, set In gold.
Tho large cameos in belt claps have
an ornamental setting of silver or silver
gilt. The kllver is effective with the cameos.
Smaller cameos are used In pairs for belt
cla&ps. Small oval cameos aro mode Into
cuff buttons or studs, and others form cuff
links made after the style of other modern
cuff links.
These cameos come, most of them, from
Naples, whero they aro cut by artists who
learned tho work In boyhood. The big
shells from which they are mado go first
into the hands of a workman whose busi
ness is to cut them to tho best advantage,
so that every Inch of the shell which can
bo carved Is utilized. Tho Inside from which
cameos cunnot bo cut Is used for other pur
poses. Interesting llttlo trinkets are made from
this part queer little pink or brown dogs,
and pigs and other animals which have
lings attached so that they may be worn
aa ornaments. They cost only SO cents.
