the bonnet. one on either side, and also
worn in the neck Of a street or house
dress. In ball dress they are stuck
anywhere in order to produce an
artistic effect Some of the most
beautiful Of these pins are enamelled
flowers, such as pansies or violets,
with q brilliant in the center. Rare
orchids are also reproduced In enamel
with beautiful coloring and wonderful
design.
Ivy and clover leaves in gold anc
enamel are also neat, sometimes CON
tanning diamond like drop OF dew.

would be well nigh impossible. but all
tastes are likely to be suited. There
are bees and flies aud crescents, but
terfies, spiders. stars. swords and
horseshoes One of the most stylish of
designs is the ffeur-de-lis, which is
made in jewels and gold and silver.

and beautiful Another new design in
these pins is funny little dragon of
gold. with big head, where rubies are
used for eyes, and tiny diamond is

center Of diamonds or pearls, are also
