FASHION SIMPLICITY.

REAL JEWELS IN VOGUE. The trimly-cut sophisticated fashions of this summer at Home are responsible for the return of real jewels to feminine favour. Re-setting experts are busy overhauling the elaborate pieces which women arc taking from their banks, and are bringing them into line with 1932 simplicity. Milleereon of extra-fine platinum is the favourite setting. With lip-tilted hats single drop ear-rings are being worn. The tapering pendant, with a drop end, is chosen to fill in the V dceoletie’ of the new evening gowns. And the fact that the Queen has been wearing her largest pieces lately is ensuring a revival of large, beautifully designed brooches and even of the oldfashioned stomacher. Pearls arc, of course, much in evidence; and so are diamonds, lliose cver-l'avourile stones. Tiny diamond-studded watches measuring one-eighth of an .inch across arc mounled on new coni bracelets of Ihe dress colour. For her engagement ring, the fashionable young woman is choosing a solitaire diamond, cunningly mounted in platinum so that tlie sollinn- is invisible. Women who possess diamond clips will be glad lo hear dial this fashion persists, both as a beret ornament and for the evening eorsaire.
