WAYS WITH PEARLS.

If we can't think of a new jewel—and nothing, apparently, is likely to rival pearls in our affections —at least we have thought of a lot of new weys of wearing them, says a writer'in an exchange.

Firstly, they are smaller; the artificial ones. I mean, of course. (The real ones within reach of most of us don't tend to be vulgarly large!) But, on the other hand, we wear more of them. Instead of one short, huge row, we see several rows of different sizes, even in the daytime. Pale pink pearls' are to have another season of popularity, I'm told. A double string of these, quite small, and worn close to the. throat, has been found to be mysteriously becoming, and everyone wants to experiment with this idea. If you have a very long string, which lends to dangle and get in your way, try putting the double string round your throat and drawing one end through the loop of the other. For evening wear, the newest idea is to have one row close to the throat, and, hanging from it, several rows of different lengths, either graduated from the shortest at one side to the, longest at the other, or with the longest in the middle. These rows hang straight down, and are finished by a pear-shaped pearl, larger than the others. If you want to be ultra-modern, you wear them hanging down your back.
