No complete list hiss yet been pub

t,e given here. but there Is no avaot
about the general desire 10 beetos
offerings on this young lady Before
her engagement 20 Lord fIie she Was
,a~elIesS. and Lord Fife has no family
iesels. vet now they say she has more
than the Princess OF Wales her-eif,
whose collection il remarkable. The
eaprices OF fashion are endless. III Is
one of them that jewels are nov more
worn than ever. Never were 80 many
tiaras seen a. this year, or not tor
many wears, and never, on any one
evening, rs at Lady Rothschild ) ball
last week, or at the duchess oil
Westminster ball on Mon
day. Not in the Minnesota
manner, however; not in the day
time. These splendors are for the
evening exclusively, and the English
wenan does not 20 shopping IN dia-
monds, not even II Il duchess perhaps
least of all il a duchess. SO. Tor these
two reasons and others not less good,
the Princess Lonise has now become
the on ner OF an extraordinary mum
Der OF sets of precious stones. Nor
has she, nor has Lord Fife, been
Obliged 10 rebuke the zeal OF their
admirers a. the Duke OF Portland did.
Ii is said of the Duke of Portland that
be caused some of the presents TO the
duchess To he returned to the donors
on the ground that their acquaintance
was too slight to entitle them 10 accept
these gifts.
