PEARL PLAITS
The. latest way of wearing pearls is not around the neck, nor twisted .bracelet-wise about the arms, but ar-ranged-as a head-dress with pendant ends. i , One of the “ fashion hits ” of the' season on the Riviera has been scored by a woman wearing her pearls bound in rows across the front of her hair, the tassel ends hanging in two long plaits over her shoulders. Pearl plaits are likely to be a popular fashion, and since there is no reason for the pearls even pretending to be real it is a fashion which can be followed with ease by most women. Sometimes the “plaits" are made from several strings of medium-seized beads literally plaited together, while other plaits are simply long tails of extremely large beads. When pearls are worn in the new manner, the hanging ends are usually connected by bands of beads or a litfle Juliet cap arranged across the hair.
