tune, Ior adds more TO its style and beauty,
than a set of the French gilt, now so NGuisitely
designed and in such a variety OF patterns. Our
most aristocratic and most extensively dressed
ladies do not hesitate to wear them. They vary
in price from six to ten dollars q set. The
snake chain, with plain and enameled loo kets,
is very beautiful, and the Turkish style OF neck
lace, consisting OF a series of graduated balls
and open work, Is also unique and desirable.

immense sale this winter. The latter are skill
fully wrought by experienced lapidaries. and
are set in gold by real diamond settlers. Their
lustre almost outriyals that OF the real gems.

these ornaments at his emporium, No. IS, Penn
sylvania avenue, between ~ and 9th streets,
where he has also over one thousand STYLES OF
