Of course we’ll wpnt something new and different to brighten up the wardrobe. Christmas holidays are the season for the gayest glitter, the shinest satin, and the richest velvet—a time accent accessories. A dressy belt, a velvet cap, a sparkling ear ring wfU highlight a dress you’ve worn before and add zest to a new one. This year, women are wearing very skimpy hats.
