The bridal presents Of Senior Oviedt
to his affianced are said by some to have
amounted to ,$35. 600, while the, reporte,
of the Herald puts them at the enormo Gus
figure of from $50, 900 to $1OO, 900 -
Among these were sett composed Of
necklace, brooch, bracelets and ear
rings, which was superb composite Of
diamonds and pears. These the HeruiId

The neclace IS q broad feston Of four
strands Of pearls, Of the most perfect
roundness and orient, meeting in d rib

as a ,love-knot; this effective and ap.

size and symmetry. In proper keeping,
the bracelet is likewise quadruple
band of pearls, but confined within two
rows Of finely matched brilliants. The
clasp sian elaborate medallion, its CEN

beautiful maze ofpearls intertwined with
brillian,s. The earrings are magnificent
pendants, the upper part of each being
g splendid diamond so!ilaiye, and the
drop a pear-shaped pearl of correspond

the most admirable lecture of the whole
parure---a ,uiolette diamond of wondrous
size. and surprising light, and SO rare in
symmetry and magnitude as to be unique
IN the United States. Aside from the
well nigh fabulous cost Of the pa,ure, its
notable peculiarly is the entire appar-

a link or rivet to be seen. but diamonds
