4 Rare Set of TOpazeS.

Miss Cora Forbes has in her possession the
only set of pink topazes in the city, perhaps
in the States They are exceedingly rare and
costly, and w., presented to her mother on
her wedding day by her father, the late DR..
Isaiah Forbes. They are SO very rare that
when one of the topazes was lost from the
brooch not long ago it could not be matched
in the city, and was for varded to New York,
where it was found impossible to get one.
Finally the set had to be sent to Europe,
where, after much difficulty, a proper stone
was obtained at much cost and trouble. The
Jewels are worn by Mis- Cora on occasions Of
