Foreign Novelties.

The Christmas holidays brought out,
in London, a variety of novelties, some
of them cheap and some expensive.
For instance, among the things we're
sugar tongs, having the appearance of
silver, in quaint and antique designs,
"speciallY suitable for 5 o'clock tea"
and costing 3D., with swans and owls in
the same material for salt and pepper,
Silvered horsehoes, which opening dis
played packets Of needles and pins gilt
FIR cones, also holding needles and pins;
%satchels, with pretty pictures outside,
containing needles. Among the latest
novelties is the pin-cushion, tablet and
loOking-glass combined. 1t is about the
size Of a half crown, with a piece of glass
on n side and a piece of bone on the
other, the pins going round the sur
rounding brass rim. There are sap-
! phirine ornaments much in vogue now.
These false gems have a blush, milky
tinge, and are brilliant, with claw set
ting attached to silver wire, the stones
far apart. Tiny hand mirrors, set in
oxydized frames, and yard measures as
shells. A novelty from Paris is a pistol,
to be worn at the side. which, when
opened, as it does at the handle, dis
plays thimbles, scissors and such like
feminine implements. A whip for a
brooch, a pheasant for one earring and
a hare for the other, all in enamel. The
fashion Of having each earring Of a diff
ferent pattern is q very eccentric one.
Waistbelts Of flexible silver have been
the fashion for some time; and now
they are making bracelets Of the same
sort, with metal buckles. Among the
presents for gentlemen were q very good
black bear head, formed into a tobacco
pouch, lined with india rubber. A small
Russian leather case, containing a place
for cards, a small pair Of scissors and
two pockets for stamps. A long narrow
notebook, with a portable inkstand at
tached to the inside Of one Of the covers.
below which are q pen, real, knife, etc.
These are bound in either velvet or
leather. Small, round, leather purses,
with'a place for pins TO be inserted all
round. Ingenious pen handles-some
in the form of a broom, which unscrews
in the middle to contain the pen when
not required, and the broom serves as q
pen wiper; other wooden handles, also
made TO unscrew to the centre, and hold
the pen when not in use, are in the form
Of sticks and flutes. Small orm0lu hats,
containing a brush for a pen wiper, are
a dainty triie; so are similar things
made rough at the bottom to hold and
strike matches. Portable pocket drink
ing cups have the appearance Of silver,
and compress into the size Of a large
~table-napkin ring, and are sold with
leather cases-sometimes accompanied
by a telescope knife and fork. There
are many novelties in the way Of fusse
boxes. Among these a small metal
champagne bottle, which opens with a
tiny spring; and a silver horse shoe,
containing matches and cotton, which
can be made to ignite without a match.
Martens heads, with silk bags attached,
have been much used for tobacco pouch
es; but now the ladies having dresses
trimmed with fur are %appending them to
their sides as work-bags.
