Jeweled Pins In the Hair.

Real jeweled pins will be worn this winter not only in the hair arranged a la Japonaise, but they will appear upon dsess hats and elegant evening bonnets. Jewel cases and caskets are being searched for odd pins, slides, brooches and other ornaments which have been put away as obsolete, to now furnish deooration for various portions of the toilet. The fashion of wearing real gems in the ooiffure arose from an example set by tbe Princess of Wales, who began the style some seasons past by appearing at a very fashionable church wedding at the Brompton Oratory in a violet velvet bonnet, the soft plumes run through with a superb diamond hilted saber and the brim dotted with small real gems. This fashion, though really appropriate only to royalty, has been appropriated by our own wealthy cosmopolitan oountrywomen, bnt the display of diamonds worn in such form seems not qnite in good taste and tbe risks attending it are obvious. —Bl Louis Globe-Democrat
