CORAL JEWELRY VERY SMART

Decorations Prove Decidedly Effective When Worn With Dull-Hued Suits. f One cannot oyerlook the effectiveness of coral with the blue serge and gray worsted costumes. Coral is one of the most charming shades when not overdone in costume, and this season it gives that brightness and contrast that is essential with the rather subdued tones of wartime frocks and tallleurs. • There are long strings of coral beads, which fall over a white or pale bisque waistcoat very effectively, and there are strings of coral and dull gold, to which are attached smart lorgnettes. Coral-set arrow .pins are thrust through convertible coat collars and coral-tipped hatpins project from spring sailors of lustrous black straw. A woman lunching at a hotel wore a taupe suit, a small black llsere turban draped with a long taupe-colored veil and black patent leather pumps, with taupe-colored spats. The only bright note of color in her costume was a pair of coral earrings, the spheres of coral set close against her ear lobes beneath waves of dark hair. The warm, bright note of coral gave interest and distinction to her whole costume, otherwise quiet and neutral in tone.
