FASHIONS IN JEWELRY.
women Will Wear Large and splendid
Ornaments-MenW will Not.

Fashions In jewelry change from year to year
apd are generally imported from Europe jew
elers copy foreign models, but the new designs
rarely become popular here until well intro
duced by Americans returning from abroad.
Just now all the rage In Europe are large bail
earrings OF dull gold, sometimes with Il jewel
sunk In them. The fashion has reached such
an extent there that balls are worn an inch and
nall in diameter-sOmetimesl like tennis balls.
very few Of them are seen here except on pas
sengers on incoming steamers They will soon
be rivals Of diamonds in favor.
This fashion strikes the keynote of fashions
for women. Everything Intended for their
is OF iik ample character. Their watches are
covered with engraving aud set with Jewels;
mere ~ much oarbaric spiendor ABOUT their
contrary is just the case. Watch chains are
very short and OF small links. Platinum is
often aIternated with gold. The fivorite ring is
OF gold and platinum wire interlaced in u Knot.
scarf pins are small cubes OF gold with a small
diamond boxed In or a claw holding a pearl
or some unpretentious stone. Another simple
design Is an enamel with polka dot pattern, SO
that it can hardly tie distinguished from the
necktie. There is an effort to avoid all manner
OF display on the part OF men.
The ladies run riot in diamonds, rubies, sap
phires, pearls, and especially in opas. The
opal seems now TO be coming out from under
the ban which has lain upon 1t for SO many
years 1t Is now in high favor and has ad-
into ali Kinds Of VERY with Brilliant t effect
Another stone which has lately appeared
IN the market Is beryl, dug from an Aneri-
can mine It Is Of various colors, straw,
aQua-marine, ruby and others, and in bril-
iiancy surpasses all stones except a fine
diamond.
Solid bracelets are not worn. The styles are
now tor exible circlets which. fit the contour OF
the arm. The most fashionable are in oriental
styles and thickly set with jewels.
wedding rings are rounded and of medium
width. The fat Rugs have fallen into disfavor.
Necklaces are not worn TO any extent, proba-
oily because they are too expensive, as strings of
Jewels are the only proper things. Pearl neck
laces are for mourning.
"A novel design in engagement rings is to di-
Vide The ring aud bend the cut ends apart, and
mold them SO by a. small gold bar \ jewel is
then set On each end, and the result is that
the jewels are very close together, but still not
united and are thus quite typical of engage
ments.
Ladies watches are made with open faces,
and 1t Is quite impossible to have them too fine.
They are worn with small chain with ball at
tached.
Tue fall season has opened we'll In the jewelry
business, and wholesale dealers report a de-
mand fully % per cent greater than that OF last
year. They say that business will probably be
letter than ii has been in five wears.

New Styles in Wall Paper.

EVERYTHING ARRANGED TO avoid CVSEA1
ANTAGoNISM.
From the New York Mail and Express.
September goth will open the spool year" in
the wall paper trade. This means that the
members of the American Wall Paper Manu-
facturers' association will begin on that day 10
sell goods from the new stocks Manufactured
since last spring. There are twenty-four MEM
bers of the association, thirteen OF whom are IN
Sew YORK and four in Brooklyn. vi tne RS r.,
falo. while there is one associate member mon
manufacturing on Staten Island. PECULIARLY
OF the "pOoln Transactions is that all invoices OF
wall paper shipped before October 18th or after
the 1>t OF March following date from the day OF
shipment, while invoices shipped between TUG
dates named may date as late as Marcn Isl, tnS
object being to concentrate the bulk OF the wan
paper business in five months. All the large
houses In New York agree that the eo inads
pool year. promises to be one OF brisk tfaue
and general profit. There are no differences OF
any moment in the association, and, notwith-
pool have increased in number since last year,
the associations schedule Is so arranged that

styles In wall paper change almost COM
petely every season." said the head of a large
house, as he displayed dozen or more sample
OF the that W tb ss OF
samples that you see there is but one when
was in the market last year. It is border that
ed to run it again this year. What are the new
styles? They are hard TO describe to persons
outside OF the trade. In q general way, may
say that designs in wall paper have for several
years been running to rather large figures;
There are many OF this style, large but not lond
figures, in stock for the coming season. what
we call blanks - papers with the designs
worked on plain surfaces, brown, buff and white
ARE decidedly the most in demand, because
they are the cheapest ranging from Ga to II
cents roll at wholesale. Satin papers and what
are called embossed grounds are also generally
In good demand and cost little more than the
blanks, the prices varying according TO quality
from - TO II cents a roll. Bronzed papers, plain
colored and embossed, are of higher grade,
costing from 23 to A cents a roll, aud contain
many really rich specimens OF Wallpaper art.
Some OF the embossed bronzeS this year are as
handsome as have ever been seen In the
market, and rival Oil airtings for deicacy OF
shade and color. But the most thoroughly
artistic work in the wallpaper line is found in
the borders, many OF which are as skillfuliy de-
signed and carefully produced as the classic
sculpLured frezes OF antiquity. Ever since
the dado craze of Il few years ago, borders have
been reaching greater artistic perfection every
year. There are brOnZed borders, iour-band
pronzed, embossed bronzed y-two inches
wide, and what are called bronZed blotched
borders, an effect peculiarly striking and
unique, and the prices for these goods range
from 90 to SO cents, and even as high as 81. Us

"Curfew Shalt not Ring"

THE ACCIDENT WHICH LED TO THE PUBLICA-
TON OF A NOTED POEM.
The popularity attained by the poem, "Cur-
few Shall Not Ring Tonight" is due entirely to
accident Nineteen years ago, when Rose Hart
wick, a Litchfleld, Mich, girl of sixteen made
her maiden effort at rhyming she produced,
after much writing and rewriting, the verses
with which countless eocutionists and alleged
elocutonists have told the story of the girl with
tough hands and great nerve who put a quietus
on the bell which was to have sounded her
lovers death knell.
But LIE poem did not bring to the young
lady that dissatisfaction which most people
enjoy alter they have done something they
never did before; there were too many verses
and the story was Too sing-songy, perhaps. at
any rate she laid it aside, and in the course of
time she wrote several little ballads which we're
accepted by the country press. In the year
1870, about three years from the birth of
"Curiew," ETC., and while that ignominious
''first effort was still on the dusty suef of
neglect Miss Hartwick made an arrangement
to furnish some verses each week to the De-
trOit Commercial Adre,tiser. This she did with
uninterrupied regularity tor ne,,fly nine ~,
This illness was the happy though painful cir
cuInstance which brought the sighted "Cur-
few" into favor and renOwn. Most all literary
people are improvident on general principles.
Miss Hartwick was not an exception. She
found the AdUerttser waiting On her for copy
and SHE had none To Send.
Then some good-Or bad angel, as the public
may judge, reminded her OF the poem size had
discarded. 1t was her only resource, and Ii
was hunted out, busted OH, and sent on with
the apoIOgetic instruction to the editor: I'll
you don't want it throw it into the waste
basket"
But the editor did want it, and he sent a
grateful Acknowledgements of it, which, to the
rural pOetess, was the next thing to a fair re-
Enumeration.
The poem appeared in the current issue OF
the paper and within TWO weeks from its publ
cation IL was copied in score or more of
uailIes in the United States and Canada. The
circulation OF the poem continued until nearly
every man, woman, and child i'll the country
could recite at least the last line OF each verse
i"Curiew shall Not Ring Tonight" t.
But while the poem was in every ones
mouth the name OF the author was unknown.
The papers r1rst copying had neglected 70 do
more than mention the paper in which the
verses first appeared. In TACT but few people
to-day Know that the writer Rose Hart
wick, vino afLerward married u Mr. Thorpe
from Grand Rapids, Mich, aud went to live
with him in Texas, where the ravages OF con-
sumption-of which he Is victim-could be
checked by careful treatment secured through
the means she gains by the active use of her
pen. Tue lady is bright aud entertaining in
manner, and by no means shows her five and
thirty years. She has never written anything
OF note except 'CurIew," but sue derives quite
an income from cliidren's stories, which she
Is writing with some success. She never
realized penny from her best effort.

of cookery, and never proposes to learn the
ART except circumstances force her to it: as.
for instance, she marries some young blood who
turns out to be poorer than u church mouse
and therefore she has TO do without u cook,

ages to scare up a meal barely tit Tor Il dog The
girl OF to-day belongs to tue parior. You can
always find her there when she is not lying abed
or shooting through the principal streets-shop-

in grammar, Latin, music, and drawing. She
cO,nplet nothing. A year after she yradua tes

tons. As musician she is a nuisance
She studies music not as an art, but US
she not only succeeds In numbering

compelled to listen TO her are made sufferers

love as no other girl In this wide world can, but
