She is having quite a lucceia in the social arena and frequent rumora of her engagement to tnia or that not able are wafted over the ocean. Mrs. Potter Palmer has a weakness for earrings. One pair in particular is worthy of note. Each earring is made of two perfect pearls, one sus pended below the other. Two recent brides are sharing the interest of the fashionable set in England just now. Our own beautiful Mrs! Cass Can field has made Frank Griswold a happy man. He is a lucky man as well, for the king has shown a most flattering interest in him and has re quested which, of course, we all know means "commanded" Mrs. Griswold's presence at court. If she looks half as beautiful as she LADY TIVERTON ACCENTU ATES JUST NOW, A FASHION IN EAR PENDANTS. T' if' i V ITS a safe wager that if you are the happy possessor of grandmother's jewel box it haa been pretty well rifled during the past year. Quaint old braided gold bracelets; high, gold-encruated tortoise shell combs; diamond clasps of bygone daya, used now to fasten velvet neck ribbons, have been in high favor. Indeed, the older and quainter the jewelry the better. It has quite a charm of Its own. And then the wearing of it givea you such an ex cellent opportunity to say. 'My great-great-grandmother's, you know!" Now is the time to discover some of those long dangling earrings which were the pride and Joy of your grand mother's younger days. And to wear them. For word cornea that on the other side of the Atlantic the smart women are wearing earrings of the most ex aggerated size and length. And they all dangle, dangle, danglet I've just had a letter from a friend staying at one of the fashionable London hotels. She was there en route from one country house party to another and dashed off a few lines to tell me of all the mutual friends she has been meeting in England. And to give me a word of the latest fashions there. Purple, purple purple everywhere, she says. And immense coiffures, all puffs and curls. And earrings. Not the button earrings of fresh water pearl or coral, without which we hardly feel dressed here, but long, dangling, old-fashioned things that sway and dance with each movement of the wearer. Some of them are very evidently genuine antiques, but the jewelers are running them a clo6e second in the beauty of their modern-designs. Diamonds, pearls, pink and the rarer white coral. 7-i I I MRS.

With her usual originality, Mrs. Herbert D. Robbins as long ago as the horse show wore long pendant earrings, made chiefly of gold, in charming design. They created quite a sensation. Mrs. Robbins is, you know, a sister- in-law of Mrs. Perry Belmont and an LETTER from Berlin states that A the kaiser is very busy with his dolls, on which ha tries new uni forms before such creations of the el nt Imperial mind are sprung upon the public. His majesty's latest invention In this line Is a uni form for Americans. In this undertaking the kaiser was encouraged by our complacent Ameri can ambassador In Berlin, wtoo agreed a year or so ago to appear before him In uniform, even during the heated sea son, while other representatives o( for eign governments, even those -from mon archial countries, begged to be excused from wearing gold-laced coats when the thermometer Is hovering between 80 and 100. The American ambassador du- pllcatod his winter court outfit In chif fon u4 gUk 4 (bug eoablea himself to appear before the kaiser In regulation clothes all the year round. Of coure, professional Jealousy and other reasons would interfere with oth ers donning the ambassadorial dress, so the kaiser resolved upon a brand new creation for his American millionaire friends. The coat of the new dress in vented by him resembles a Tuxedo in cut, but is remarkable for the number of its brass buttons. The ground color is blue, Prussian or Berlin bias, as - they say here, - the loams being covered by broad black braid of the kind that marks our own undress army uniform. In addition, the coat Is adorned fore and aft with 100 or more tiny gold buttons, real gold, crowned by a Prussian eagle with chip diamonds, eyes and beak. Eaoh button will cost J6 without diamonds, and as all court uniforms must be made on Prussian soil. It Is easy to see how the imperial Invention will benefit Uermao taller and Jeweler. Hereafter, this uniform will be "en regie" for summertime and another will be constructed for winter use. The em peror has almost decided to construct a similar uniform for winter, but with a swallow-tail coat. The winter court uniform will Include black velvet knickerbockers with a lot of button on them, whits silk stockings and pumps with red heels. A toy Bword, too, must be worn by American visitors to the German court the comin winter. All this Is on account of Harry kefir's grons breHott of ettiuette of last soru ary and March.

She was Eloise Breese, you know, and her sister ia soon to marry Lord Alastair, a brother of the Duke of Roxburghe. She has a pretty neck and her gowns are always collarless. , There ar.e many things to consider in choosing your earrings. I have no doubt that before long we shall see earrings exaggerated until they drop to the shoulder. If you have the courage you might order youra de signed just a little longer than the other women's. Then the color. That's .very important. Of course you may have a particular jewel you claim as your own. In that case naturally your earrings will ;b en suite. But if not, choose a color which is becomit g to vour evea.
