EARRINGS AGAIN FASHIONABLE.

For some years (says M.A.P.) earrings' wers, what certain shopkeepers call, "out" ; our best-dressed women Arore none nt all, or only precious solitaire stones. But the wheel has turned ; earrings are "in," even to the old-fashioned long ones. The Princess of Wales- turned the scale, and has made these pretty ornaments the fashion. She ' Wears them always, and of different shapes and sizes. Her Royal Highness- often wears long eamhgs; and so do Lady, Lansdowne, Lady Galloway, Lady Ashburton, and sometimes Mrs. George Cornwallis West. 1 ±he Paris jewc-lleis make their earrings in the "swing" style, such as a turquoise with a rim oi diamonds, turquoise and rim being both arranged to swing. A single pearl, or solitaire diamond, makes earrings at once simple and distinguished, which look well worn either by day or night." Black pearl earrings have a wierd, exotic splendour of their own, and those worn by Mrs. Mackoy, and by -the Dowager Duchess of Hamilton, arc good examples of such precious jewels.. Lady s Londonderry and Mrs. Frederick Wonibwell possess fine 'solitaire diamond earrings. By the way, how seldom now we see those old, white Brazilian diamonds, sucu as are worn by the Duchess of Buccleuch. Turquoises — the December stone, and thelucky gem — make beautiful earrings, most becoming to the owner of a good complexion, whether blonde or brunette. Princess Henry of Pless, Lady Hothfield, Lady Molesworth, • and Lady Leucha Warner have good turquoise earrings; and the last-named lady's are specially valuable, being pear-shaped instead of flat — as turquoises generally are. Mrs. Clarence Mackay, the handsome American, 'has old Egyptian earrings, of great beauty and deepest interest. Lady Howard de Walden and Mrs. Arthur Paget wear emerald earrings that are noticeably fine.
