Mary HAMPTON'S Column Thank you for: your enthusiasmand your letters! That response from the unseen audience for whom we write is the most precious thing in the life of a columnist. And while I did have a hunch you might enjoy some down-to-earth lessons on dressing--my highest hopes did not anticipate such a flood of letters and such real enthusiasm. Indeed we shall Il have these lessonsand the moment the first one is ready I shall announce it in the column. And that will be very soon. We shall make it good fun, too! SPICE FOR THE COSTUME After a hat--a stunning hat-1 really think some startling piece of jewelry is a chic woman's most dependable trick.

Countless numbers women of smartness make a hobby of discovering just such dashes of spice. Some inherit heirloomssome, gather up triumphs of discovery while traveling and I've known clever women who did miracles from back street pawn shops! Lily Nagy's bracelet made, me think of this--for even as I shook hands in meeting her I had the stimulating sensation of talking to an intriguing, woman of utmost chic. (In did fashions for "Die Damen" in pre-Hitler days.) Her costume was simplest black. hat excellent-but simple, too. But on her wrist was an enormous bracelet from which I could scarcely take my eyes.

During luncheon it so fascinated me I found my attention ever wandering from the conversation, Finally--for after all she is a designer which entitles us to discuss such things-1 asked. First let me tell you about it. The thing was larger around than a French doughnut and the top part on the back of the wrist spread out into a thick rectangle as large as a powder case and twice as thickall silver! Then its entire surface was etched over with exquisite primitive decoration walls that Mexico. reminded And me of pyramid in this bracelet had once actually decorated the wrist of a cannibal belle in the heart of darkest Africa. Some explorers had brought it out--and given it to her as a gift! Seeing my enthusiasm she then pointed to the oval pin that perched on the black velvet of her dress at the neck.

It is a pin now but it had once been the index finger ring of a famous Austrian bishop. This was deep blue enamel edged with marquisite and upon the blue was the design of a challis done in huge yellow diamonds. Do you remember my writing from Uruapan, Mexico, that I had found hemp, rope burro make cinches which I thought ought to exciting costume belts? I want you to know the thing is done! Ballerino, this talented designer in Los Angeles thought the idea very exciting and I have just ordered dozens of them which she is using for a stunning belt on a special dress in her next line, which will be brought out in mid-winter for the Palm Springs season.
