Clever Novelty Jewelry Is Informative Clever novelty jewelry has always been an important accessory, but not until lately has the jewelry been really useful in an informative way. Designers hit upon a good idea when they thought up the college football necklace. This necklace is made of leather pennants. Upon each pennant is placed the name of the football team against which your in- dividual school will play. After the game is over and the score is an- nounced, you may have engraved on the pennant the football score. Thus at the end of a football season, you have a necklace with the scores of all the games upon it. Not quite as new, but still useful is the patriotic necklace and bracelet set and the political set. Both of these inform all those with whom you come in contact of your political and patriotic beliefs. Perhaps the poli- tical necklace with Willkie or Roose- velt written on it would be a good investment for most women. Then if your date begins to undermine the character of your favorite candidate, all you need to do-is display the jewel- ry, so that he will know he is tread- ing on your toes. In addition to its attractiveness, novelty jewelry is also conversation- provoking-a grand thing on a blind date.
