The Latest in Carriers.

The fashion for wearing jeweled carriers
has spread so rapidly that jewelers. all
keep the article in stock. They are very
~xpensive- A member Of a conspicuous
urn explains. The rage is recent, but
n"ae the less strong, and it promises TO
spread indefinitely, as the range is as IN
limited as the purse. All the prominent
society women and many who are not ip

,titutionally delight in pretty things
and their adornment is Of more i~nteres,
and enjoyment to them than ANYTHING
else. 1t you will come dow stairs I'll

each pair mounted IN a yeivetib,x. The
pattern was the same in all as tar as the
bard was concerned. The band was a
full inch wide, made Of fine elastic and
covered with beautiful woven silk o::every
conceivable shade, pale blues and warm
reds predominatiDg. They are designed
to match the tint Of the dress worn with
them. La one case two heart shaped
clasps Of colered gold, inlaid with cross
bars Of %torquois and pearls, joined the
ends Of a scarlet band with little trills of
silk along the edges. The price was 500
A pair with two oval clasps of hammered
gold, perhaps an inch in length, could be
brought for $4S, while the cheapest pair,
with plain gold clasps, was SAG.

\ pair that cost 1925 had two shields
with three Big pearls in each aud little
liamoads at the edges. Another pair
was expensive through its delicate lace,
which was arranged in a fluffy b1wknot
