Hints For Homemakers i COSTUME JEWELRY — Cloth ing stylists give these basic rule*! for electing and wearing costume jewelry. First, don't overdo— Jewelry should never dominate the costume. Remember that Its func tion is to complete the costume (just as hat, gloves and acarfs do) and to flatter tiy wearer. Second rule: It must be appro priate to what you are wearing— an elaborate rhlnettone clip and earrings are obviously not suited to a sports *outfit. Simple gold or silyer metal pieces rather than complete sets of earrings, neck lacc, etc., are best with sports, tailored or casual clothes. Dresay costumes welcome stone set Jewelry, but it should harmon ixe in color (or furnish sharp con trast) and carry out {he basic feeling of the ensemble. ' The wearer's type, also , is an important consideration. A petite woman should have rather simple, dainty things; big important pieces of costume jewelry are for people j of Urger Mature. The mirror Is a good guide. If the Jewelry Improves the picture, wear it If not, d«it hestitate to make the necessary changes how ever much you may love a parti cular piece of jewelry and want to wear It! » EASY CARE FASHIONS—Look for easy care slips—they are on the market. They waah easily, dry easily and need not be Ironed, and [hey lire not expensive.
