Gems for society Bellies.

One of the sensations IN Washington
society during the last season, says
letter 10 the New York SIR, was the APP
pearance of a noted dealer in precious
stones, who created a furor among the
ladies Of the Cabinet and high officials,
aud in social circles. He approached So
ciety with his gems from new direc-
tion-a social one. A handsome and
courteous gentleman himself, with q
beautiful wife, both accustomed TO good
social usages, the diamond merchant was
able TO reach the inner circles OF society.
He had quarters 1t the Arlington, and
within few weeks after his arrival he
had Washington ladies in fever Of ex-
citemeut over the splendid gems with
which he dazzled their eyes. and all the
husbands in Washington going down into
their pocketbOoks, and wishing the Gin
cinnati merchant was in Jericho. When
the season closed nearly $500, 900 had
passed into the pockets OF the dealer In
precious stones, and rich and rare were the
gems that flashed upon many a white
neck and arm in the great society crushes
Of the latter part OF the season, whose
owner had trusted before that 10 the
power Of their'own beauty uBadoined.
One Of the first OF the many stories set
afoat about the craze, for gems was Of
the purchase bY the Whitneys Of s60..
900 necklace. In the necklace were forty
stones, graded from the great center stone
each way TO stones Of the weight Of q
thistle down. All the diamond markets
in the world had been searched 70 &C

thtre was story about some unpleasant

which she had never received, and there
were q good many explanations and

As the fall is the rushing season III the

is the most unlucky day for a wedding,
while Wednesday and Thursday are the
luckiest. Our grsndmothers believed
that il was most unfortunate thing IL
