THE JEWEL CASkET.

Broochlike chatelaines of knotted gold
wire are used as watches.
Spinning wheels in porcelain have been
brought out as mantel ornaments.
Japanese crepe instead of satin is used
as lining for cases for silver and jewelry.
An transformations but costly bracelet is
the one made of small flexible chain bands,
studded with diamonds.
Shoe buckles, copying old time French
models, are in moderate demand for shoes
to be worn with evening costumes.
An artistic necklace consists of single
row of pearls from which depend at inter
walls pink topazes and aquamarines.
To meet the present demand for Louis
XIV fashions are boudOir clocks in Vernis
Martin, with crushed morocco feathers.
The new gold and silver mounted leather
goods represent crocodile, Brazilian lizard,
pig, elephant and calfskins and morocco.
Numbered with chatelaine watches seen
are those in enameled gold cases that copy
in form and color violins and mandolins.
Large gold headed pins are necessary adj
juncts to lady's toilet, and are worn well
pushed in, leaving only the heads visible,
Cleopatra's asp reproduced in brilliants
is a fashionable ornament for the hair;
Joan of Arc sword in diamonds is another.

The chrysolite has become valuable in

which occurred in well known business

Of the place were at work there attention
was attracted by a moving object on the

the basement to the top floor by the most
industrious Shining"
Some time ago one of the men about
the place reported that he had seen rat
working its way up the cable. He was
laughed to scorn by his incredulous as

was established in the mouths of two or
three witnesses, so that it cannot be sue
