Among the novelties Just brought

Among the novelties just brought
out to please the ladies the braid band
pins for the hair are very successful.
These pins are an inch-broad band of
frosted silver or gold, handsomely en-
graved, four inches in length, and very
decidedly curved, so as to partly encir-
Gle the braid and keep it in place. The
trouble with these pretty ornaments
hitherto has been that they were so
frail. The new ones are made especi-
ally to remedy this objection, the pins
being extra strong and swung on tube
hinge. Several pretty styles are shown,
the engraved bands and comb shape,
with Il row of tiny balls swinging at the
top, being fayorites.
