"Jingle as you Walk" is the latest formula for slim Parisiennes. The jingle comes from aruw of embossed silver bells, hung across the front of a leather waistband worn round the middle of a slim wool dress. The bells are Repeated on silver bracelets, worn on either wrist. A group of poker dice hung on fine gold chains is another way of trimming up-to-date belts.
