It is one of the whims of fashion just now to wear an immense gold cross, suspended about the neck by a chain or ribbon. This is by no means considered a piece of full-dress ornamentation, for it is worn with that most common place of costumes, the shirt-waist and sailor hat. Sometimes the cross is of silver, sometimes of amber. and occasionally it is jewelled, but the plain gold cross is preferred as being* most simple and effective. The cross hangs midway between throat and belt, for the girl who is up in such matters knows that it is distinctly bad form to dangle her cross too low or tie it about her neck too closely.
