Ropes ot Wooden Beads According to a fashion writer, Parisiennes are now wearing wooden beads. Having tried almost everything else round their necks, the smartest women in the world are looping ropes of wooden marbles round their throats. The beads arc generally plain colour, two shades, such as red and white, green and orange, or black and white, being alternated on the same strand. Beaded bags are staging a style comeback. Those for evening wear are made of plain-coloured beads which match the chiffon handkerchiefs ami satin slippers of the wearer. For seaside wear they are larger in form and more brilliant, in colour. Startling Red fingernails have startled a few people, but green nails are the very, very latest of nil, and one smart Adelaide matron was flourishing some particularly brilliant emerald nails at a theatre the other night, states a writer. She has extremely pretty hands, ami the effect when you got used to it, was rather smart, but it was startling, to say the least.
