A GROWN OF DIAMONDS.
The Beautiful Tiara Worn by the Wifi
of Governor Brown.

The Beautiful Tiara Worn by the Wife
of Governor Brown.
A beautiful tiara, or crown, of diamonds,
was recently completed for Mrs. Frank
Brown, who were it on the occasion of her
husbands Inauguration as Governor Of
Maryland. According to the Globe Demo-
crat it is one Of the handSomest pieces Of
jewelry of the kind ever worn or made in
Baltimore, and is an exquisite piece of work
manship. The crown is composed of a slen-
der band of gold about third of an inch
wide and long enough to extend nearly
around the head. 1t is perforated at the
ends with small holes, through which haIr
pins or a rubber band may be worn to hold
1t IN place. The ornamentati0n Of the tiara
consists of five large stars, attached to the
front OF the gold band and forming half
circle Of diamonds about tie head. The
central star of this twnkling cons stellati0u
measures 27s inches in diameter or from
point to point and the remaining stars are
graded in size, decreasing slightly as they
extend from the central ornament. The
diamonds are set In platinum, which makes
an effective background for the sparkling
gems. There are $50 stones in the five stars,
eighty-six in the large central one. seventy
SIX in each Of the adjacent stars and fifty
six in each of the smallest ornaments.
From the big solitaires forming the center
OF each star down to the tiniest gems that
outline the slender points the whole forms
a group of flashing lOyelineSS, from which
thousand rays scintilIate in the tiny, shim-
mering sparks. whose light seems to be
created within each jewels depth and
clothed in all the colOrS of the rainbow. Ia
the center of each star the large solitaire is
elevated above the surrounding rays in a
crown setting, encircled by smaller stones
similarly set. Tie diamonds in the five
points of the star and in the smaller inter-
vening points are imbedded in the plati-
NUN, where they are so closely set as to
form an almost unbroken diamond surface.
The stars are fastened 10 the gold band
with pins ranning through tiny golden
tubes, from which they can be readily
slipped, thcs EsakiGg the ornaments de-
tachable and suitable for use as breast-pins.
Concealed In the top point of each star is
ornament for the neck or to be combined in
a beautiful necklace of diamond stars.

will not exceed $1,000. 900, or a trifle over II
cents per capita. The work of the office is
