JEWELS FOR NOVEMBER.

A silver eye-glass case is ornamented
with heavy antique chasing. Scroll
patterns are also fashionable.
Enameled forget-me-nots in dark red,
with diamond centers, make pretty or
namentation for a lady's glove box.
Among the oddities for desk FILINGS
is bronze paper weight representing
a cedar leaf on which is perched small
bird.
The border of ali oval-shaped hand
glass is set with cat's-eyes and Rhine
stones. Its back is of mosaic work in
laid on silver.
For the sporting editors desk the
latest in paper weights is pair of pugi-
lists in dark red bronze, one figure on
each side of the desk.
Very unique is gold pendant with
an opal center surrounded by row of
well-matched rubies, from which pro-
ject sixteen diamond points.
A pretty table clock is OF stone fin
iShed silver with ornamental etching.
1t is about the size of an Old-faShiOned
watch and rests on four toes.

signed after the Louis XVI. style, with
forget-me-notS.
An odd design for lady's brooch
consists of an enameled disk, with four
three-leaf cloves of emeraldS at equal
distances around the rim. Between the
clover leaves the spaces are filled in
with diamonds and pearls alternating.
There are at present urgent demands
for jeweled side combs, and manufac-

Perhaps you can imagine the sensa-
ton created by the following incident,
which occurred at very select and
formal dinner party on Beacon street
one day last week.
One of the guests on this festive Oc-
casion was a young lady from Balti-

men, at any rate-is not diminished by
a tendency to be mildly giddy. On
either side of her at the table were
seated two nice young men, who We'd

gage her attention. With both of them
she seemed equally pleased, bestowing
her smiles this way and that with
charming impartiality.
Having been introduced to the pair
but five minutes before sitting down,
she had cast spell upon them before
the fifth oyster on her plate was swal-
lowed. When the soup plates were re-
moved they had already abandoned
themselves to destinations, and by the
time the roast was on the table each
was hOpelessly enraptured. When the
fowl was brought it CHANGED that, while
the butler and assistant were out of the
room for a moment. the hos tess, who
sat close by at the head of the table,
wanted some salt.

girl, twill you hand me that little cellar
by you?''
The young woman spoken to looked
up responsively, but made no motion to
comply with the request. Surprising
that she had not understood Mrs. K
said again: "WiIl you not give me the
salt, if you please?"
By this time every one present had
been called in that direction. The
young lady from the monumental city,
however, was not pertnrbed. 81 am

this she lifted her hands suddenly from

In calling to mind different women in

The skirts of street dresses are worn
long this season, especially by those
who wish to add to their appearance of

leading professionals of the country,

young man at another counter, their
minds, instead of being at their own
counters, are continually at the young

that the love-smitten maid is absent

who was very valuable to us, become
utterly worthless behind her counter,
simply because she got to thinking more
of a good-l0oking young man at some
other counter than she did of OuI bust

Its the same way with the young
