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

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

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.

The Kaiser Designs a Court Dress for Americans
your earrings, too.
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. The winter court dress
contemplated resembles the uniform of
Prussian gentlemen of the bedchamber.

Rosamond Street has for some time been wearing
large Kaffir-like earrings of gold in the ev,ening. Tjhey

wears, only hers are set with only a single pparl,
while "Rossie". Street's bear many. J
Mm. "Freddie" Neijson eccentrically wears a dia
mond in one ear and a pearl in the other.
Mrs. Willoughby D'Eresby wears swinging disks of
gold set with a single precious stone. 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. You see earrings are nearer to yo ir
eyes than any other article of Jewelry and that muAt
be considered.
