A CHASTITY Scarf.Pin.

A harmless yet CHASTITY scarf-pin is a
mechanical skull of enameled gold,
with a movable under jaw, and dia-
monds set back in its hollow sockets
for eyes. The skull is worked by a
current of electricity generated by a
little battery carried in the pocket, and
transmitted over wires no heavier than
strands of thread. Pressing upon a
button which completes the electric cir
cult, the teeth rattle. They are made
in Paris and are worth 800. The
price is rather steep, but the ornament
has to be very carefully and nicely ad-
justed, and it is made OF platinum and
the best of gold; besides, the diamonds
alone are of some value. No cheap
counterfeits have yet been made.
