THE RICHMOND PAX.L.ADI I'M AXI SUX-TELlKiK AM. WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 18,1912.

Copyrlgrht by X. J. Robinson. "I really get most of my ideas of style from the little coats and dresses I bay for the kiddles," said a busy mother the other day. "Yon can depend 'upon them to represent all the newest Ideas In grown-up styles, simplified somewhat, to be sure, but still indicative of the trend of fashion." Especially true is this of the present reason's offering in Juvenile apparel. Dnnnlne replicas of the mode's fall

rhims are the little coats, dresses and

hnta offered for selection.

Wee coats show suitable adaptations

of the Robespierre collar, which is a

Ion name to call a collar no bigger

than a cuff; the fashionable single

rever is a feature of many models ; set-

to sleeves predominate, and belts, always well liked for children's garments, are especially prominent this season. Some of these, to be quite ft la mode,

extend only, across the back, and patent leather, as well as many colored

leathers, Is much used.

Pur trimming Is seen on many of the

velvet and corduroy coats. White satin collars and cuffs, inlaid with lace

Insertion are also pretty on these dressy coats. For the coats designed

for play time wear, in Taney worsteds,

serges, chinchillas and cheviots, buttons

form the main trimmings. Those in pretty colorings to match or blend with the coat are roost attractive. Crystal

and bone buttons continue in good

style.

There is a pleasing variety of styles

in the dress and every-day frocks for the little girl, ranging from the sailor

and Russian blouse effects to the

quaint little Empire designs. A be

witching demure frock made from the

softest silk with a border of tiny rose

buds and forget-me-nots had this Em-

pire waistline. A crossed fichu was drawn into the soft belt, from which

hung a 6ash at the left of the front. The skirt was laid in small pleats about the waist and stitched flat

Much simpler, but altogether charm

ing, are the little dresses on wnicn smocking forms the main trimming.

Challls was used for one of these, which was cut all in one piece, very much as is ' the peasant's smock. A smart touch was given to the frock by the over-lay side collars of white linen, having sharp points, which covered

part of the smocking that formed tEe

waist and sleeves to the neck. The sleeves were finished with narrow cuffs of the linen ,and the low belt parted in front to reveal several rows of smocking. Still another style most welcome on very small maids Is the long-waisted French dress with a short upper body

or yoke shaped like a bolero. To this

the wai6t is gathered. A wide sash, or ribbon-run beading covers the Joining of waist and diminutive skirt, which may be plain or have a tiny frill about the bottom. Ilata and bonnets for the little tads are quite adorable. For rough and ready wear are the soft felts and beavers and simple plushes, in Jaunty shapes. Sometimes a bit of ribbon trims them, or a pert feather adds a piquant dash to the little models. When daughter goes a-visitlng her

small face Is framed in a cunning bonnet, of silk or velvet, faced, perhaps, with shirred silk, or chiffon or lace. If her coat is trimmed with fur her tiny bonnet may also have a touch of fur upon it Or perhaps a small cluster of flowers, or a demure little bunch of tips trims the dainty little affair, making her look like a quaint old picture.

II E weU-drcpocd woman la be-

I coming more and more fasML I tldious about the smallest de

tails of her costumes. Tbey may be simple and few, but

she Insists that they be perfect in themselves, with all the accessories chosen with care and tastefulness. She will be delighted with a recent importation that is a decided novelty and that will enable her to preserve the color note of her gown or suit This is a beautiful little watch with an enamel back, or rather with no less than six enamel backs which are interchangeable, each one being of a different color. The watch, with its six backs, is most attractively boxed, and may be worn with a pin or on a chain. There is scarcely a glint of gold in the show cases of the Jewelry shops this season. Platinum is the favored metal for mountings of all kinds, and in the dead finish it lends a certain delicacy as well as an artistic value to the designs. Another noticeable feature of Jeweled conceits is the prevalence of what Is called the box Betting, that is, the stones are set deep in the metal so that the surface is practically flat Rings, bracelets and lockets show this setting almost exclusively. Square and triangular designs are being especially favored in rings Just now. An emerald, top , sapphire.

By J&na Bmyton, amethyst, or opal may be surrounded with one or two rows of small diamonds, forming a square, or a triangle, with the point exteudlng toward the knuckle. This style of ring is particularly becoming to a long, slim hand, but will not be so well liked on a snortfingered, chubby hand as the narrow clrculet styles. This adapting of the styles of the ring to the hand is a matter that is too often neglected. One should study very carefully the proportions of the palm and fingers when selecting either a ring or a bracelet, to get the best results. Massive bracelets are not for the plump wrist, nor yet for the scrawny on. Study also the complexion of your he mis and arms when purchasing Jewelry. Blue stones, such as the sapphire or the lapis lazuli, tend to make the tkin appear white; green stones have a similar effect, particularly emeralds. Diamonds unless combined with other stones will emphasize the lost freshness of an old hand. More important than the choice of rings i the selection of earrings. The long drop earrings are being much

worn, but rarely with effective results They are bewitching when they wy daintily besidp a very youcg, round face, but the wise woman with a wrinkle or two will do well to wear them only in the evening when the lamp Utht gives back to her the toll that time has taken. The vogue for seed pearl Is reflected in the attractive hat plus that are being shown, the bow knot brooches, and the pretty mounts oa two-prong hair-pins. Hat pins, by tbe way, have assumed normal dimensions once more, and many artistic designs are offered, particularly In gold and silver knob effects. Two new ideas have been developed in pins. One Js called the shoulder pin a plain or engraved pin about four inches long, which Is sometimes made about a half Inch shorter aM la the long narrow buckle effect set with emi-precious stones; the other Is the Upper pin. Thee, of course, come la pairs, and are in buckle design, but have plus attached, so that they may readily be changed from one pair of slljtpers to another, without the bother of sewing.

OUR diamond business was built up by always giving our customers a "square deal." We have always told the customer the "whole truth" about each and every stone. If even the slightest flaw or imperfection exists, we tell of it, and when we say a diamond is absolutely perfect, we mean just' that. Also, our prices are lower than others ask for same sizes and qualities. Consequently when people buy of us they have the satisfaction of knowing they have just the kind of stone they pay for, and have saved some money on the purchase. See our stock and compare prices before you buy. '
