FASHION’S DECREES.

NOVELTIES FROM PARIS. Knee bracelets in finely woven gold or platinum, set with diamonds and other precious stones, are the latest Paris society novelty. They were seen for the flrst time at a dance at the Lido—the Venice of Paris. The short skirts of the day allow the’’ bracelets to be seen at frequent intervals during the dance, the gems with which they are set flashing and disappearing alternately as the wearer moves. Some of the bracelets seen were stated to have cost tens of thousands of pounds.

Large plaqaies of chased or embossed gold, linked together, are very much in the mode, and in keeping with this rather barbaric taste are dull gold and silver armlets, which do not quite encompass the wrist, suggesting the influence of the very ancient jewellers’ art.

"The smart way to wear these wide and heavy bracelets is over the cufTs of the jumper, at the wrist.

Rather pretty and unusual neck ornaments, which have just made their appearance, are dainty posies made entirely of tiny coloured china beads, which hang low from silken cords or narrow velvet ribbon.
