It THE OOURIEK 12 M FASHION Kven the fact that the last few years have been amazingly prosperous can scarcely account for the unequalled Jewel display of the past season. At the opera this week ami at some of the recent charitable entertainments the dances for the benefit of the Stony Wold Sanitarium, for example the Klrls and women, many of whom I know to be only moderately wealthy, were all but regal in pearls that, if real, must have cost thousands of dol lars. Since the widely admired pearls of the Duchess of Manchester were found to be imitations, one is naturally Inclined to be suspicious of those be longing to young women whose fathers are not millionaires. It was an acci dent that caused the expose of the Duchess, who might otherwise have handed down her pearls to future gen erations as priceless heirlooms, as they are said to defy detection save by the most skilled experts. There were several young women at the opera on Monday night with pear shaped vallieres, large and irridescent, apparently llawless, springing in each instance from a calyx of small dia monds. If these jewels had been gen uine they would have cost fabulous sums far more than the practical fathers of these girls would think of expending on unnecessary adornment. The imitations cost less than one fourth the value of the real, and, de plorable as it may be to confess it, there is little doubt that these fash ionable butterllies are practicing a pretty little deception. A necklace reaching half-way to the waist, and worn by the sister of a British peeress of unlimited wealth, was composed of small fresh-water pearls, five strands in all, knotted at Intervals with a very unlque effect. The pearls were bril liant, very irregular in shape, and each about the weight of a grain of wheat. The pendant for this work of art was an oval solitaire diamond. One of the dark-haired debutantes at the 'Whitney ball wore as a valllere a heart-shaped amethyst set in tiny diamonds, with a diamond bow-knot at the top. It was suspended from a deli cate chain of gold. The collarettes of many strands of small pearls are made up largely of the manufactured article lixed with the real, and it is almost impossible to distinguish the one from the other. The elaborate barrettes for tfce hair are almost always imitations. They serve their purpose quite as well, are just as pretty, and, best of all, one does not have to be so uneasy for fear of losing them. The bracelet and ear ring have come to stay, as was evi denced at the horse show. Xot, how ever, the old style of either. The bracelets are often merely heavy bands of dull gold with gems inlaid, and they are exquisite. One worn at a public dinner party not long ago was of heavy jrold, widening toward the middle, where a great turquoise matrix and a solitaire of equal size were imbedded. I have seldom seen anything richer or more elegant. Sapphires and diamonds alternating across the top half or all the way round are also very effective. Another very new bracelet consists of a gold chain, upon which five or six stones, cut Indian fashion, are strung at reg ular intervals, leaving one pendent at the fastening. Those in which turquoise matrix Is used are very pleasing, par ticularly if one has a necklace or lorgnette chain to match. Earrings have been adopted this winter by nine out of ten modish women. Nowadays one does not have to go through the torture of having one's ears pierced, which is a reason for their renewed popularity. The new solitaire earring and again pearls are preferred shows no mounting, and is fastened on to the ears by a novel contrivance which is most ingenious. "Worn as close to the face as possible, they are generally becoming. Formerly, when the lobe of the ear had to be pierced, the standing away of the earrings from the face made them, in many instances, most unbecoming. Mrs. As tor's famous solitaires, both of pearls and diamonds, have been much ad mired this season. Many jeweled or naments are now seen in the daytime. At a girl's recent luncheon each had a line bracelet slipped over the pretty cuff of her blouse, and most of them wore lovely vallieres pendent from the collar. The designs In tiaras have changed very little since last year. In deed, I saw many of the old ones doing duty again this season unaltered. I don't think the majority of women care much for them; probably because, as Bernhardt says, "diamonds above and below the face detract fearfully from the brilliancy of the eyes." LADY MODISH.
