Gems Liven Black Gowns.

Emeralds are used as a foil for a black lace gown when emerald silk lines the folded bow ends* on the soft crushed girdle and sash, and for one notable costume an emerald facing is used on the black lace hat. f Colored gems are favored for use with the all-black costumes generally, but jewels of pearl and diamond-set platinum make a most effective accom? paniment for a black tulle gown, having an underdress of creamy white. With such a costume a long diamond chain finished with pearl-mounted pendant 1 and used with pearl earrings carries out the long, graceful lines of one of the new soft hanging tunics. Dignity is added to an all-black costume by the use of a diamond and onyx collarette.
