Personal ADoRNMESTs.-1 Chapter for tic
Holidays-While we deprecate an over anxiety
on account of personal appearance, foppish
style of dress or gaudy display of jewelry, we
are far from believing that tastefully chosen ap
parel or appropriate ornaments are blameable, or
that the "root of all evil lies under rich brace
let, or entwines itself among the links that form
watch. guard or necklace. So far from thus think
ing, we have always been OF the opinion that care
for dress if carried to excess, tends to refine
the mind. Outward appearance furnishes our
only means of Judging character, and, as like pro.
duces like, there is strong presumption in favor
of the inward worth of him or her who is out
wRrdy beautiful.
These reflections were produced by call at the
store of Mr. w. S. Wood, 367 Broadway, New
York where may be disposed in this gor
geous casket of jewels, every article that the
most fastidious stckler for tasteful display could
possibly wish for, sight OF which alone is worth
long walk. Want OF time obliges us to be con-
tent with mentioning a few Of his articles only
His bracelets, breaches, earrings, finger rings,
&c. are of the richest designs we have ever seen,
and such any lady may wear with credit to her
taste. Gentlemens and ladies' gold watches in
great variety, very splendid silver ware including
tea and dinner sets, fruit and cake baskets,
knives spoons, forks &c OF superb designs and
workmanship; these are few of the articles that
select any article of the above description as
souvenir for the coming holidays, can nowhere
stand better chance Of being suited.
