MEXICAN FILIGREE SPOONS.

Numbered with the latest arrivals are
the Mexican fligrse spoons, a decided con-
trast to other styles. The delicate tiligree
work of the modern Mexican jeweler is
composed of fine gold and silver wires,
wrought in designs generally copied from
nature and representing flowers, birds, but
terfies, etc. The uniqueness OF the de-
signs, the rich colors of the original
metals preserved in the work, and with
al the intrinsic value Of the articles
made of this material render them
highly attractive and adapted for pres
entation as souvenirs to meet the de-
mand for souvenirs in way OF spoons.
Many designs and styles Of filigree handle
spoons have been produced, two Of which
are shown in the cut here reproduced from
The Jewellers Circular. In some cases
these spoons are rendered local by an appli-
cation of the name of the town over the
filgree.

taking the sand Off, great care must be
taken not to break the leaves, as they are

a Luxurious Shoulder Pillow. Pretty
Draperies, Table Centers, Etc.
Among new home luxuries are the
shoulder pillows, which give comfort, com
bined with bit of decoration, TO high,
hard backed chair. The pillows are made
eight TO ten inches wide and twelve to nf-
teen In length, according TO the size OF the
chair on which they are to be used. The
material may be printed silk, china silk,
plush or velvet, embroidered or plain.
Silkoline is one of the prettiest of inexpen-
siye materials. These pillows are used in
pairs by setting small gilt rings in the
edges and lacing them together with rib
bons.
The washable cretonnes make good bed
draperies and spreads. Coored Marseilles
in lovely tints IS comparatively inexpen-
sive and furnishes very attractive bed
spreads.
The prevailing fashion of dresses with no
convenient pocket gives value to oddly
shaped little bags for carrying the hand
kerchief, which may be attached to the belt
or hung from the arm.
A durable table center is made of plain
white linen powdered over with any small
flower, such as the daisy, forgetmenot or
violet, worked in washing silk.
Sachets of all kinds are made very large
now, with double pockets and one corne.
turned down 4 good brocade embroidered
with the name in gold is pretty. Cord is
most in use to finish off the edges.

Fashions in Jewelry.

Elsie Bee notes the following in Jewellers
Circular:
Rings of repousse silver in which q dia-
mond is sunk are intended for men.
A charming necklace is Of graded pieces
of pale pink coral set between diamonds.
The marquise ring commands oil styles
but is susceptible OF many variations.
Topaz rings are considered especially be-
coming to the hand. But to be elegant,
topaz requires tine accompaniment of fine
diamonds.
Queen chains made of two inch links OF
fine gold connected by coral, pearls or
onyx seem to initiate the long chains that
are now worn in Paris.
A bracelet Of blue enamel has the shape
of plain band bordered by straight row
of tiny diamonds. The fastening is a but
ton in gold bound buttonhole.
Fob chains and chatelaines initiate the
woven wire souvenir chains that come
from Venice. These consist of squares OF
platinum and gold alternating.
