ceedingly pleasing designs are OF gold
simply chased or enamelled. The
medium-szed variety of stick pin Is usu-
ally protected from slipping from Its
moorings by scabbard covering about
one-third of the blade and decorated to
match the hilt. This is attached by q
tiny chain, aud Is adjusted in place
after the blade has been thrust through
the dress. The hat and the hairpin
variety, however, are without q guard,
and the breastpin and chatelaine pin are
finished with the ordinary safety-pln
fastening at the back, and with the
blade cut off one-half or more, giving,
however, the same effect as though the
blade were thrust out Of sight.
A very beautiful and effective style
Of setting, used more especially In the
cross hlt, shows the jewels partially
embedded in honeycomb Of gold In
such fashion as to shed scintillating
rays from either side. In the English
and French style Of hilts the exquisite
varieties OF enamel brought into play
are noticeable feature, including as
they do antique patterns and coioring
in plain enamel. aud the more modern
patterns of raised enamel in the dainti-
est of floral designs of natural hue. Eu-
amelling, in fact, is 3 prominent factor
this season in the decoration OF every
variety Of article OF jewelry worn by
both men and women.
A novelty in a lady's watch has case
enameled on either side to represent q
single pansy with diamond dewdrop in
the centre. Another case is decorated
on one side with pair OF enamelled
white spitz dogs sitting erect on tiny
diamond mat, and on the other with a
circlet of forget-me-nots. "Night" and
Morning" are used for the Ornamental
tion of another case. A golden globe OF
the world, the hemispheres traced in
fine black enamel, represents an entire
~ new design in the chatelaine watch.
The dial is surrounded with delicate
floral device in pale blue and green en-
amel.
One Of the most unique and also most
expensive models is q Geneva open
face watch, set in a gentleman's ring,
surrounded with infinitesmal diamonds.
Despite the minute dimensions the
watch is said to keep excellent time.
An immensely popular article OF jew
cry just now, by reason that 1t can be
made to serve a triple purpose, Is the
necklace pendant which can also be
utilized for breastpin and for centre
ornament for tiara. The best de-
signs are also a golden daisy, chrysan-
themum or a sun5urst, studded or
flecked with diamonds. The cor
rect thing in bracelets is a
narrow plain band, with the jewels set
close together in row, or finely twist
ed hut equally narrow band overlapping
slightly at the fastening, the Tapped
ends ornamented with jewels. In the
less costly varieties the link and the
chain bracelet OF yellow or red gold is
the style most in use in fashions realm.
Gold hairpins and combs are in fash
ion again, and by that is meant those
made Of solid gold, as well as countless
varieties in amber and tortoisesheil
mounted in gold. Conspicuous
among the latter is the large,
round-top comb, which will be much in
vogue this winter, surmounting the
moderately high couture now so fash
ionable. A very pretty model OF hair
pin is of amber topped with a graceful
wreath OF golden wheat. A solid gold
heart-shaped spoon, the bowl appropri-
ately outlined with an enamel of raised
forget me-nots, and the handle almost
covered with the same ornamentGtion,
finds place among the Christmas novel
ties: also individual" forks in gold
richly ornamented.
Among the novelties in jewelry for
mems wear are vest buttons in sets OF
from three to twelve made OF silver or
gold, the latter perfectly plain, chased,
enamelled, and with precious stones,
and oftentimes bearing the monogram
or crest of the wearer. Ia scarf-pins
the sword and dagger appear again. and
there are all sorts of fish designs Of
every sort of dimensions. The turtle,
the crab, the oyster, the clam, In vari-
Gus combinations of gold and jewels, are
favorite devices; also q tiny Goldfish of
Wisconsin pearl, with eyes, fms ana tail
of diamonds. Yacht club flags are
among the popular scarf emblems OF the
moment.
There is a new pencil out-a little
beauty in it's way-intended as an APP
pendage 10 the watch chain. The dimen-
sions are about two inches long when
closed, three-eights of inch in diane
ter, and among its diverse styles OF or
namentation the most beautiful is either
q continuous chain Of small diamonds
twined diagonally around the pencil or
tiny clusters Of jewels set some little
distance apart, but following diagonal
line. The Indian" finger ring, richly
earned and chased in Indian style, is
perhaps for the time being most pop
ular, Sleeve buttons and links divide
honors, but TO the fore in the medium
priced varieties of each are those done
in white and fancy enamel, with and
