MASCULINE JEWELRY.
The Signet Ring the Only Bauole of
Well-dressed Man.
From &c Je,eeNer's Gasettc.

From the Je,eeHer's Gazette.
the fashion Of wearing jewelry among
men is growing to higher points than it
reached even in 1884. 1t was then, you
know, the practice reached high water
mark. 1t attracted a good deal of atten-
ton at the time, as prior to that the jewelry
of men had been no, able mainly by reason
of its absence. The dudes who suppressed
watch chains, scarf pins and the like, al
lowed themselves full liberty in the matter
of finger rings, and from this the general
run of clubmen took their cues. Many a
fashionable man wore five or six rings on
his fingers The great design then was the
snake ring, and after that what was known
as the glove ring. The latter consisted of
heavy band of gold, usually square in de-
sign, in which were set a diamond, with
ruby or sapphire on either side of it. The
stones were set well down in the gold and
Were perfectly flush with the top, SO that a
man could pail a glove on over the ring
without difficulty.
Perhaps the greatest success which was
reached then was when the bracelet APP
peared as a mascu inc adornment The
natural result of all this finerY was that the
smaller clerks and cheap Johns of the town
followed the suit of their leaders, and the
market was flooded with taWdry jewelry.
After time a good healthy reaction set in
and mon went back to the ring which they
always returned to-"
What is thatP'
ut is the old signet ring. I am more or
less familiar with the history of jewels, and
it has struck me often that this ring, which
mouarchs Of 200 years ago wore on the
first finger of their right hands usually, is
the only one which has a staple place in
the affections of mankind Not only do men
return to it after they have been led astray
by gaudy diamonds, and the like, but it is
very often the case that the best dressed of
those who are the most exquisite about their
jewelry give up all sorts Of precious stones
whenthey become as or SO years of age and
settle down to the plain signet ring on the
third finger of their left hand

81 SnowshOeing first attracted attention in
this country two years ago, when a large
RELOCATION of members of the different
canadian clubs visited New York and were
Entertained by the Oritani Snowshoe Club,
IA Established by G. M. Fairchild, an old Cana
6ian suowshoer.
The meet" of a snowshoe club, whether
b he in the clear, sharp air of a winter day,
scr by the bright light of the moon, is a pic
turesqle affair. The gentlemen wear knick-
erbockers and Logging, with heavy blanket
coats. On the head tuque is worn, and
q be feet are encased in mOccasins before the
snowshOeS are attached. White wool is
the most popular material for the suits,
! nd with bright cOlored sash and tuque it
bnekes an attractive costume. The ladies'
2dresses are marvels of prettines3, and set
#pff 10 perfec ion the charming figures Of the
zweareTs. Some are in white blanket suits.
(which rival in their brightness the Snow at
their feet. The costume consists Of white
Skirt, white bodice, and white tuque, set
loft with a white ostrich feather, and give
tie "earer charming appearance. Others
#empoy the striped blanket material to form
costumes Of fantastic designs, or make suits
to match those worn by their escorts
e Ihe uniform Of the 0ritani Club consist
Nj blue bordered gray blanket coat,
4 blue tuQue, red sash and bright yellow moe
cas0s.
The snowshoes used by hunters are from
4 to 8 feet in length and from 20 to a
Alnches wide, but nall sizes are used by the
#clubs. The weight varies from to II
ounces. The shoe is framed like lawn
tennis racquet, and webbed wide deer hide
I orhatcut gut into thin, fat strips Only
tue toe Of the foot is strapped to the shoe
the heel is left clear, and rises as the person
walks. A shapely feminine foot looks its
sprettiest when oncased in a well fitting moe
4 casln. In attaching the snowshoe the
zthongs pass over the arched instep and
sarolnd the slim ankle, and are tied by the
cavalier in attendance. On long tramp
the strings get loose and the shoe comes off,
80 that he gala ty of the escort is called
4 1ortn at frequent intervals.
The beginners have many falls when they
make the first attempt, and if the snow is
deep, their struggles to regain an upright
position are ludicrous. Accidents add to the
meFrlmant Of the company, and many jokes
& are cracked at th expsnse of the learners
AIter little practice, however, one can run

proficient that stee plechasing, including the
jumping Of hurdles feet high, is favor

action which the costume allows enables
tie fair wearers to walk distances that
would be impossible in ordinary attire. In
fact women who never walk on terra
firma except short distance at a time,
after once putting on the snowshoes take
long tramps, and become enthusiastic lovers
of the sport.
The cost of an entire outfit, including the
shoes, moccasins and suit, is only about $50,
aud this makes snowshoeing a sport that is
so Inexpensive that it may be enjoyed by
the multitude.
1t will be great year for skating. Pre-
paratlOrs are being made on every hand for
fun and frOhc on ice. There is an increased
interest in the great winter sport, and unless
soft weather interferes there will be an I'M
precedented number of skating parties, ice
carnivals, fancy skating exhibitions and
speed skating events.
As pleasant. artistic and healthful re-
creation no outdoor sport can surpaSs skat-
ing. It's excellent exercise, strengthening
every muscle in the body, and filling the
lungs with oxygen from the pure cold
atmosphere. Like the fountain of Ponce
de Leon, skating brings back the vigor
OF youth. Its effects is mental as well as
physical.
The English first learned the use Of skates
III the twelfth century. They made their
first skates from the leg bone of the horse.
Holes we're drilled through the bones, and
they were bound to the foot with thongs
A long iron shod pole was used to strike the
Ice and urge the skater along. The locomo-
ton was snail's pace compared with the
speed of modern skaters The iron -shod
skate was invented by the Dutchmen for
use on the canals which spread like net
work all over the Netherlands. The
heavy numbering Dutchmen did not in
dulge in fancy skating, but the woodel
skate with its grooved runner was Of practi-
cal value to them for purposes Of rapid loco-
motion.
