SOME NEW NECK DECORATION'S

Single Great Stone, Usually an Emerald or niamnndj Swing* From ——— Slender Chain. Many young women are wearing, in* stead of pearls, a single great stone — usually an emerald or a diamond — swinging from a slender chain about the throat, says Harper’s Bazar. Very striking is this great jewel, which Is often oblong In shape and cut “square,” instead of in Innumerable facets. The fashion of wearing brooches, revived Since the armistice, has resulted in much work for the jewelers, who are busy resetting precious stones. The new brooch is designed obviously for the sole purpose of supplying the needed point of light to a dark frock, and is especially effective on frocks of black velvet or tulle. In fact, it would almost seem that the diamonds had fallen out of the tiara and attached themselves to the frock —at which we all rejoice. After all, what was ever .more rigid and senseless in the way of Jan ornament than the old tiara with its stiff arrangement of gems?
