The favored bracelets Just now must,
first Of all be unique, and the exposi.
tion has, because Of its wonderful exhibit
In jewelry, afforded opportunity to who
ever had the good taste and ducats to
get just the ieweied band that one wo.
man would most envy another one OF
the most beautiful is OF Indian work
the background being of that soft gold
in which the Indian workers so delight
In this is set . circle OF every known and,
do believe, unknown gem, uncut. The
effect Is marvellous. A pink pearl Is
wooing your eye and claiming admira-
tion close 70 an opal, while a
black pearl is making more beautiful
the depth OF color in ruby. Three
different shapes Of turquoise are shown
n dark and light amethyst form a con-
tnast. while one of the most perfect
enieralds imaginable seems to he throw
ing out ray Of nope. rs II nestlos closely
to milk-wh,te pearl. Tho ordinary,
every day bracelet designed by even the
extraordinary jcwellcr sinks into insig-
niiicanco beside this wonirous band OF
color. which can be- traced to opal aud
pearl, turquoise and emerald, ruby aud
diamond, chTysoberyl and chry sopraso,
Olll unAl
moonstone, garnet and sapphire, and all
the wondrous fatnily Of gems that mean
so much in color, and delight SO the
artistic OF poetical mind.

birth In lndn is lucky to wear because IL

Chinese ladies ore far.sighted In pos
sessing these bracelets, for whatever the
material mny be, IL Is real aud solid.
| Whenever Hmc. Chino,s gets u little
hard up, she doesn't create a racket in
the establishment trying to get a little
more than her usual allowance from
monsieur, nor does she borrow from her
woman friends, or play against her luck
at poker; not shel She simply walks

money, takes oil Ler bracelet, throws IL
In the scales, and the obliging man heaps
up the other side with money until the

a wedding ring and close with a patent
lock, SO that once ON they can never be
removed. Others are of pink enamel
with tiny diamond butterfly perchod
