For young girl graduate one of the neat
est designs is plain band of lace-like ap-
pearance, set with thread of tiny diamonds
In platinum pr0ngs. Another has three fine
bars set with rose diamonds and three pearls
placed across diagonally. There is a gener-
GUS demand for turquoises and diamonds,
and choice necklace made to order not long
ago for charming June bride was thing
of beauty" and as it will always also prove
"a joy forever" There were seven pendants,
with graduated turquoises, each set with four
little diamonds, suspended with a gold and
platinum barrel chain.

Uncommon as brooch is one represent
ing thistle and leaves, which are of bright
gold. The thistle is finely carved on dull
amethyst and is most perfect in every re-
spect. A tiny pearl bud nestles on one of
the leaves. Some beautiful topaz brooches
are being worn now. One, a dark topaz
heart surrounded with double row of
pearls, is very pretty. Another equally
lovely is OF a light topaz set In variegated
gold scroll, finished with pearl on either
side and top and bottom. A scarf-pin
greatly admired is tiny topaz heart with
a gold arrow piercing it., and shining
brightly on the top is cute little diamond.
Enamel back of mOOnst0nes is a marked
improvement. 1t is used in rings as a be-
ginning, but will doubtless be extended TO
various settings, as the effect is beautiful.
One would suppose there could not be any
great variety in designs for rings, and yet
there are young men In and around Maiden
Lane whose fertile brains show reverend
ing fund of new ideas. Among the novel
devices for rings there is an eagles claw
hugging the stone, Mephistopheles and
Satire carved on either side near the setting,
tiny rubieS being used for the eyes.

Instead of throwing the traditional old
shoe after newly welded couple, more
substantial reminder would be silver
matchbox and II gold brooch in the shape
OF an old shoe. Very deliberately finished
are these dainty gifts, the matchbox having
diamonds on the soles in lieu of nails, and
the brooch little rupies. One side Of the sole
is worn aud part of the lace is round the
top, making most unique affair of its
kind.
On exhibition in an uptown jewelers. is
somewhat OF a curiosity. 1t Is composed of
i've pendants, four of which are carved on
the edges, While the center-piece is quite
plain. Each one is decorated with fancy
enamelng and richly set with precious
stones These pieces are strung On ribbon
wire, covered with fine blue thread or cord
and good-sized fancy knob at either end as
tinish
Rare and beautiful are link sleeve buttons
OF white enamel in gold relief. One Of the
links has a lion RAM ant and the other a
shield in gold Around the edge is dainty
bit of scroll work in gold. There are shirt
studs to match. A fieur-de-lys ribbon gold
brooch that may be utilized as chateaine
or IN eye-glass holder is handy bit Of jew
elry to possess.
An old fve-stone ring Is arranged with
three large stones in the clover pattern, and
on either side of the one stone sci above the
other two are two smaller ones; there are
two shankS, so that the general effect is of
two rings. A reproduction Of an old mar
qulse ring 200 years old is quite admira BILE.
Five stones run across the finger, while
above and below is pineapple shape par
tltlon containing ten stones. 1t is a splen-
did glove ring, being set very fiat.

Exceedingly odd as a seal ring is one of
the scarabee design. 1t is of belcher shape
with diamonds on both sides. The art oil
engraving precious stones at the earlier
periods of the Egyptian monarchy was COM
paratlvely unknown, although these people
made beads of carnelian, felspar, root of
emerald, 1aspers. lapiS lazuli, amethyst and
other hard stones.
Queen chains. sure to find favor with
ladies frequenting the races, are made up of
little enamel jockey-caps. and sometimes
an emerald, ruby or diamond is in the
crown of the cap. Then, again, two horse
shoes. spurs and crops are among the de-
vices for these dainty charms on the chains
A pair Of Chinese vases over 100 years
old are especially well preserved. The fig
ures and lettering are quite distinct. The
stands and handles are of gilt bronze, the
latter being dragons heads.
In game-carving sets an appropriate idea
is of cloisonne OxidZed gilt with a grouse
or duck, deer or antelope and fish on the
handles For great lovers of the fnny tribe
there is a manicure set with fish handles
