Bacchus Poured
Wine, Creating
Feb.'s Birthstone
Tradition has it that February's
birthstone, the amethyst, was the
favored gem of St. Valentine, the
patron of lovers.
Modern jewelry designers, to
please the saint, are showing ame
thysts increasingly. They are
being featured as faceted stones
for rings, in flower-design inount
ings for pins and clips, in gold,
silver, or platinum, and in other
pieces in which they are often
grouped with contrasting colored
gems.
Amethysts vary in color from
the palest violet to the deepest
purple. They are found princi
pally in the Siberian Orals and
in the mines of Brazil, Ceylon,
and Madagascar. Amethysts were
said to be the favorite gems of
Catherine the Great and Queen
Charlotte; even today they ap
pear in the coronation service of
English kings, and in the coronet
of the Prince of Wales. Amethysts
are also the traditional gem for
bishops' rings:
The amethyst is set in a legend
of passion and repentance. Bac
chus,. 'the ancient Greek god of
wine, was feuding with Diana,
goddess of the hunt' and patron
ess of maidents. Angered by some
mockery of Diana's, Bacchus
vowed to revenge himself by sac
rificing to his tigers_the first
maiden to approach Dina's altar.
It was Amethyst, a beautiful
young virgin, who approached
Diana's shrine after this threat
had been made. But as the tigers
leaped to devour the girl, Diana
intervened and turned her into
a statue of pure white stone. Re
penting his cruel intention, Bac-,
chus poured a libation of wine
over the young • maiden's statue,
turning it . a delicate purplish
violet hue.
And that is why the favored
gen- is called "amethyst."

Swathes Of Veil
Tres Gay . . .
Replace Bonnets
By BETTIE LOUX
Designers from Paris to New
York start showing their new hat
collections about this time each
season. But this.year will be dif
ferent,, for there are • no hats
there's just veil!
A strip of veiling pulled tightly
over the eyes or softly swathed
around the face and throat
"brings glamour to your eyes and
- makes your skin seem flawless . ,"
according to one leading periodi
-al.
The veils are stiffened and
blocked like felt so they will not
wilt and lose their shape. One
version is fastened in back by
slender velvet ribbons; another is
held in place over the ears by the
use of star-studded combs. Lav
ishly adorned with artificial
flowers or simply sprinkled with
cutouts of felt or sequins, many
are sure to be .seen come Easter
Sunday.
The Lilly Dache innovation was
originally intended fo r evening
wear only. The trend seems to be
contagious, however, and it is ex
pected that many women will be
.wearing their masks with tailored
street outfits.
Designer's originals are priced
between $35 and $BO, but mass
production should soon bring
down the cost.
