THE BOUSOIR

SHOW LESS GLITTER SPARKLE IS BEING TAKEN AWAY FROM HATPINS. Paris Has Determined Fashion, Whleh tbe World Will Follow—Some of the Newest Designs Just Now In Vogue. Although much sparkle and glitter is still in evidence, hatpins seem destined to grow less gleaming, if not less conspicuous. Entirely new departures are promised in Paris, where so many trinkets are made and so carefully made. The latest of the d&' signs incrusted with stress brilliants is the “chantecler,” dashing and strident He is all in rhinestone, except his little red eyes which simulate rubles. This is about the only way in which his bigness of the barn yard has been accepted with any degree of warmth, for millinery decoration. But if Paris has new things for us, they are jealously guarded. Irish jew-

els set round with brilliants and pins of shell or jet in which rhinestones and pearls are embedded, may point the direction which fashion will soon take. They are a safe investment, at any rate, because they are really tasteful. The shell Is of course a celluloid composition and is shown in many colors, including amber and gray, as well as tortoise markings. Colored miniatures on a black or dark background, set round with rhinestones, compel admiration. In hatpins and brooches, famous beauties of other days, whose charms inspired the best efforts of master painters, are everywhere repeated. Whereever the spirits of these pretty ladies may roam, if they revisit the glimpses of the moon now, they must be pleased to know

how lasting is the appreciation of their beauty. The oriental pins, having a large Jewel at the center and dull, yellow gold, in filigree, as a setting, show tiny points of light, in little mockjewels of many colors embedded in the gilt mounting. They are not new and they are not destined to be discarded as old fashioned at any time. They are like the ancient, ornate, jewelry one finds in the bazaars which bear the vague name of oriental shops. Perhaps Egypt will furnish the inspiration for new things that are promised, in the meantime any of the pins discussed is worth while. For outing hats pins are rather destructive. Hat fasteners, sewed to the edge of the headsize, should be used Instead. They are like long hairpins made of wire. They fasten the hat very securely to the head, cannot be lost and save the straw. They are made both curved and straight and are either sewed or pinned into the hat.
