just -enough color to the shirt waist* get-up. Other colors popular in neckwear are turquoise blue, coral, mauve, one. of the new greens and amber. Always these colors are found in extremely small quantltK, just a suggestion, and never enough to seem over-brilliant. The girl who likes rings can get quite a collection of pretty stones to match her various shirt waist accessories at a very, small sum. Dull silver rings with opaque stones can be picked up sometimes for only 50 cents. An imitation jade gives the right touch to the green get-up, a turquoise matrix to the turquoise blue accessories, while coral, amethyst and topas all find pleasing combinations.
