WASHINGTON, March H.;—Miss Gladys Hinckley, whose fads and fancies have a leaning toward the unusual, if not the astonishing, has given society in Washington another thrill. No, she is not wearing a pur ple wig or an anklet studded with precious stones, but she is wearing a bug suspended from her dainty ear. Now, what Miss Hinckley does and decrees is more than likely to carry considerable weight, for she is one of the popular and original members of the smart set in the nation’s capilal. More than that, she bears the distinc tion of having been called the most beautiful woman in America by no less a personage than Baron Rosen, former Russian Ambassador. The bug is a tiny platinum one, studded with jewels and hangs from Miss Hinckley's ear by an almest in visible chain. Many of her friends are calling the bug ‘real cute” and “chic” and “the very thing.” WHal the rest of her friends think of the bug Miss Hinckley says she does not care, for, be it understood, leaders in new fashions must be daring if any thing. So Miss Hinckley apparently in tends to do her very best for the little bug. She wears it practically wherever she goes, and there are no signs that she will discontinue her fad. She hopes cthers will take cour age and follow the fashion. Two years ago she appeared with the fashionable promenaders on Con necticut avenue wearing a golden snake twisted about her neck. So realistic was the metal reptile that her friends were startled and all they could say after recovering their breath was ‘“What next” MANY KILLED IN BATTLE.
