FASHIONS IN JEWELRY.

|
A necklace for a debutante is made
of small, white, open-petaled roses
with diamond center, and is clasped
in small spray of roses.
Three lovely little cherub heads of
moonstone with gold fiattened wings
are set OH a curved bar and form a
lace pin.
For young girls are strands OF tiny
pearls with a single clasp. Small pale
| pink coral beads are worn in the same
way and by the same class.
Dark hued pearls are much sought
after by people of subdued tastes. A
handsome ring Is circlet of dead
gold with five large dark pearls.
Simple rings for young girls are
| formed of triple rows uniting in a
single band at the back. TuIquoises,
pearls and pale pink coral are thus
brought together.
An Exquisite little pocket comb
piece repeats in repolsse silver with
| hand chasing ioral and fruit de-
signs taken from an old Italian car
wing.
A pair of bonnet pins has woman's
helmeted head cut in moonstone. The
helmet and the ruff about the neck
are in diamonds. These form the
head of each pin.
In the demand for moonstOnes, the
cats eye has almost disappeared, but
| it is still used, though rarely found in
the bodies of winged creatures with
jeweled wings.
A Jewel of a watch has large dia-
mond ia the center surrounded by
pearls thickly set in rayed forms and
almost covering the sides. The outer
edge is of deep red enamel.
Jewel boxes. in red wood ale
among the handsomest things of the
season They are in old mahogany,
tulip, cocobola, rosewood and ebony,
and are enriched with ormOlu mounts
chiseled by hand. Some of the cases
are cabinet shaped and have separate
drawers.
Visiting, account and bank books
come in sets beautifully bound in old
levant and in the novelty feathers
coon, elephant and crocodile. They
are held in cases of carved woods of
about half their height, and are at
tractlve objects for desk aside from
their convenience.
APOSTLE spoons are regarded as mod
est and d, sirable wedding presen is.
The advantage is that they cat be
bought singly, and of size from All
after dinner coffee to vegetable
spoons; they are also always interest
ing as objects of art.
Though diamond crescents are out
of fashion, a pretty novelty consists
of very slender crescent from which
hangs jeweled stars of rubies, sap
phires and diamonds on long slender
threads of gold. The effect is that of
shooting stars and is very attractive.
Pretty harp-shaped brooches seen
have mermaid as the upright, the
head and body or the figure being cut
out of moons tone and the tai]-like
appendage set in diamonds. Dia-
monds closely set form the rest of the
| frame, which represents one half of
an anchor caught in the folds OF the
tail.
Bees, butterflies, beetles, dragon
flies and plain flies (musca) are all
considered worth elimination in moon
stone and diamonds. The butterflies
are varied, rubies and sapphires form
ing spots of color in the body of moon
stone. They are often mounted in
silver.
Jewelled sleeve buttons are double
but one side is simple bar. The
other side is an oblong design of gold
wire set with jewels. In the center is
ruby very much in relief; around it
are diamonds in a floral arrangement
but sunk below the plane of the ruby.
The sides are straight bars Of alter
mating rubies and sapphires.
Teddy kettles in Japanese silver
have made their place in the heart of
the family. They are not necessarily
for today; they may be used for tea.
They are exceedingly pretty and are
usually watched over from the cover
by squat Japanese god, very ugly,
but very good natursd.
