NOW THE VANITY PENDANT

Latest Addition to the String of Those That Have Seemingly Become Indispensable. We have had coin pendants and watch pendants; now we have the vanity pendant. These are made double, the two swinging on a hinge' to reveal beneath a clear bit of mirror. Those pendants are somewhat larger than the ordinary ones, and are found in all sorts of quaint shapes and unusual studdings. An oblong one, shaped like a blunted wedge, is of greenish gold studded with bands of rhinestones and baroque pearls in a checkerboard design. Another has a fretwork of silver set with turquoise to form a bunch of for-get-me-nots in the center. ■ A third is a square of dull gold, with oval sapphire in the center, surrounded by a line of brilliants and a smaller sapphire sunk in each of the four corners. From this hang drops of the saplathe middle and one stone on Either end. An oval turquoise matrix, surrounded by a double row of seed pearls, is a pretty and becoming vanity pendant for a blonde.

The girl who has a handsome locket of quaint design of a past generation may convert it into a vanity pendant by inserting .a mirror in the picture space.
