If YOU haven't an india bracelet, then
get one such as is worn by the chinese
women. The lady of the higher classes
wears one of gold, the next grade OF
| silver, and the next of iron; in pattern

metal that can be slipped over the hand

material may be, it is real and solid.
| Whenever Madame ChinOls gets little
| hard up she doesn't create a racket IN
| the establishment trying to get little
more than her usual allowance from

| friends, OF play against her luck at
| poker: not She! She simply marches
| off to the place where they make the
money, takes off her bracelet, throws it
| in the scales. and the obliging man
heaps up the other side with money
until the weight of the bracelet is
reached; it is worth exactly what it
weighs IN the money OF the realm,
either in gold, silver or iron, as the
bracelet itself may he. 1t seems amueh
more convenient fashion than carrying
purses. for you can have just as many
of the bracelets as you can afford, or as
your family chooses to give you. 1t
must be confessed that they are very
heavy to wear, but it is curious what a
woman will endure when her woe rep
resents money.
Pretty bangles are of the thickness of
a wedding ring and close with patent
lock, so that once or they can never be
removed. Others are OF pink enamel
with tiny diamond butterfly perched
on top as if he were going to fly away
and leave his ruSeate home. A simple
but dainty one is fine chain with small
forget-me-nots in blue enamel set be-
tween each link. Now, be advised and
allure bracelets unless you have the
wrist that will form a suitable back
ground for them. and under no clrcum-
stances permit yourself to ever wear
them outside your giOveS-a something,
by the by, quite as vulgar as the ring On
the fOrefingor. -
