PEARL IS SEASON’S STONE

In Simple Necklace or In Festoon* It Is the Choice of the Devotee of Fashion. The pearl necklace is a dictator of fashion at the present time. It must be visible upon the uncovered throat, which is the position that best suits the milk-white luster of the gems, and because it does not cling very tightly to the neck but droops downwards the corsage of the day-time frock must be ;cut low, and that of the evening frock still lower, in the graceful V design. Ip the day the necklace is only of moderate length, a mere string of pearls, but for full-dress wear ropes of the gems are worn, festooned, looped and arranged as if falling from an epaulette boss upon the shoulder to show off their exquisite luster. As a girdle drooping below the waist there is manifold beauty in a string of the Jewels, and some women give their necklaces a sun bath by wearing them to weigh down the chiffon motor veil that preserves the complexion in more radiant climes than this.
