Precious metals combined with tal- ented artesians are offering m'lady jewels in the finest sense of the word. Could Old John Silver but see the wealth of his favorite metal being shown now in the stores, he would probably start a pirate movement in the vicinity of Ann Arbor. Gorgeous huge hand-wrought sil- ver pins and clips are taking the place of hard-to-get rhinestones. Sil- ver is always smart looking as it's hard to cheapen a piece of sterling. Individual silver links, joined to- gether to form a belt are among the most exotic jewelry found this year. It really is the answer to that present for the woman who has everything. Unless she's visited South America or the Far East she will probably not have one of these unique belts; and anyone could use such a luxury piece on the simple smooth dresses now be-. ing shown. Filigree Always Appeals Men seem to take a particular de-.. light in picking out some perfectly uninteresting piece of modern jewel- ry and giving it in all good faith that it's just what she's always wanted. They won't be taking a chance, how- ever, to give any silver filigree. It's hard to find, but a few "old world" shops in Ann Arbor have some fra- gile filigree bracelets. They are so beautifully done one would never guess how inexpensive they are. The watch industry almost fell in a mud puddle and came out with a new suit of clothes when the Ameri- can industries converted fron "lady's watches" to precision instruments. Although there are still a few Amer- ican watches left in the stores, the place of honor in the displays has gone to very fine Swiss watches. Swiss Watches Popular Their workmanship and quantity of perfect detail make them more ex- pensive than some of the former American made watches. However, the name "Swiss Watch" should be sufficient to explain the rise in price. Their styles are famous for their ability to put perfect machinery in the smallest possible space. It's a lifetime present when you give a Swiss made watch. Although most of the aforemen- tioned articles are in a higher price range, there is a good variety of in- expensive costume jewelry in a ci- na-like material, wood, and translu- cent plastics. The trend is towards the genuine jewelry and epet craftsmanship, however. Pearls Add Extra Finesse to Costumes OT FOR CLEOPR AI: a - Just the thing to wear with sweaters, dresses, and blouses are these three-strand pearls, so useful as a means of highlighting any and every ensemble. ~ E _ _ --- I Adder's Tongue Balh i Out; Coed Has New Cosmetic List Wear Earrngs To Fit Occasion Coed Should Make Selections Carefully One of the most peculiar fashions to appear was the wearing of earrings with loafers and saddle shoes. Too many college girls, in an effort to be casual, have lost the appealing fem- inine art of wearing jewelry. In a bright spurt of femininity they will screw on the only available pair of. earrings as they dash out, com- pletely oblivious to the potentialities of those minute but all important accesories. They are not made to wear with sport shoes and socks, nor is any pair made to wear with every- thing. They are infinitely attractive if worn to enhace a costume and infin- itely cheapening if they are merely "something added to." They are made in all sizes and shapes on purpose. Some are for little people; some are for glamoz- ons. Sparkly ones are best for long, concealing hairdos; curved to the ear types are smoother with short and feather cuts. They are liked by the men and if anyone says anything to the contrary it's because they've seen some of the sadder examples of casual turned feminine. And they are one of the most like- able giftis to receive and give as you can actually choose personality types. The small enameled butterflys, bright silver skylarks, round glittering silver discs, were made to order for you or someone on your gift list. Everyone collects sweaters. To make your date dresses truly original, have a collection of earrings to dig into. This would be a good time to let your friends know you're starting. Just don't collect for quantity though. Have a method in your mad- ness. It's such fun to don glamour for a change. I I New Shades Of Lipsticks Are Available Christmas is a wonderful time to replenish your lipstick and nail- polish stocks. If some obliging room- mate, or relative does not come through, you might spend some of your Christmas money for them. A new color, called Radiant Peony, has just made its appearance. The color is all that the name implies, having a lavender tint over a bril- liant red. This color is available in both lipstick and nailpolish for those who are match fiends, and in a color that is flattering to almost every shade of skin. For those who like to have an as- sortment of nail polishes handy to change with their costumes, a fa- mous nail polish firm has madie up a set of five small bottles of polish: one to match almost every mood, and a bottle of Adheron. These come in a Christmasy red-and-white-striped kit that would be a decoration to any dressing table top. New Fad Is Started A fad that was started recently was to put a light shade of enamel over a dark one, which gives unusual shades and highlights.. The lighter one must be applied before the bot- tom one is dry, to obtain the best results. A lipstick that has a top fastened on the case by an elastic is another novelty. No longer will you have to fumble vainly 'in your drawer, searching for that elusive cap, while your lipstick gets dirty and melted. Now that top will always be right where you want it. This lipstick comes in such glam- Starting with the time that Antony presented Cleopatra with a jar of genuine adder's tongue beauty balm cosmetics have been high on the list of preferred Christmas gifts. And while adder's tongue balm may have done very well for Cleo, the girl of today likes her beauty aids less mys- tical and more effective. Every year the cosmetic manufac- turers put out special kits and pack- ages designed for Christmas giving. This year, although somewhat re- stricted by war shortages, they have managed to place many attractive gift sets on the market. Colognes, in a new form, have made their appearance. Now they are creamy, white and of the con- sistency of milk. But they stilleretain their clinging odors, and have proved to be even more effective than the former kind. Resides lasting fully as long, these creamy colognes pre- form the same function as a lotion,' soothing and smoothing out rough surfaces, but lending a fragrance that no lotion would ever hope to obtain. Some of the 'flavors' avail- able are Apple Blossom,' Tabu,' 'A Bientot,' 'Suivez-Moi,' 'Breathless' and 'Whirlwind.' That favorite of the college girl. pan-cake makeup, now has a brother and sister, for the same house has added a lipstick and a rouge to the family. These new products have, that long-lasting, clinging, finish that have so endeared the pan-cake to us. They come in shades to har- monize with the different colors of the base. and they wear the same kind of a case as their older kin. These also come in sets that are de- signed for each type of skin, so there will be no mistakes in your choice of gift. Sweaters are always hard to keep at school, Either your mother is worrying because they have no pro- orous colors as 'Powder Blue Fuschia,' a vibrant purple; 'Dragon's Blood Ruby,' a deep jewel-like red; and 'Black Rose,' which manages to catch parts of both those colors. Nail pol- ishes are also available in matching shades. Bright forecast is a shade that has recently come out. It comes in both lipstick and nail polish, and is made by a well-known manufacturer. This is a red shade with a dash of fuschia that can be worn with almost any color. A lovely Christmas present would be a group of lipstick refills. As lip- stick cases and lipsticks are getting increasingly hard to purchase, our old ones must see us through the duration. But what nicer present could there be than several new re- fills ready to be placed in those old cases? Most of beauty experts are agreedl that two powders are batrtan one, and have made iI' latest c- cordingly. Now you purchase them in one package. a light shade and a dark shade, botih designed to give the most flattering finish to your skin.' The darker one is applied first, then a light dusting of the lightei shade. Each of them has a slightly different 'feel,' the under one is somewhat thicker, while the top one is fine-grained and filmy, Even if you are only of tr xeietn mind, these two powders would make a lovely present for someone. break the bottle. For old stand-bys there are flower rscents of innumerable kinds, the names of which would delight a would-be author of dime novel fic- tion. And there is Tweed old as the hills, but just as popular.
