Elsie Bee, in jewelers. Circular, gives the
latest fashions regarding watches for ladies'
wear. She says: Ladies' watches continue
small in size, but wide license is permitted in
the selection of the cases, which may be of
plain gold, etched, enameled or incrusted
with gems. Where the gems used in the en-
bellishment Of watch cases are of large size
and fine in quality, these are set through the
gold, not incrusted in it, Chatelaine watches
are fashionable and will remain so while the
empire style of dress prevails. These watches
are of gold or silver, according to the chate-
laine with which they are worn.
Watches for men tend to DE fat and thin
Many are open faced. Monogramson watches
run smaller than the elaborate ones of few
seasons ago.
The queen chain remains fashionable,
though not to the exclusion of other styles
With quite new chains is numbered the Re
gency," which, as the name suggests is a
reproduction. For mems wear are the fancy
vest, the double chain and the fob chain.
Lockets and seals are the pendants preferred
for mems chains No set pattern prevails for
pendants to ladies' chains; all sorts Of de-
signs figure in my charms, such as balls,
blocks, baskets, scissors, pencils, vinaigrettes,
etc etc.
