son is the sapphire seal for gentlemen.
Other stones and combinations that are
favorites for rings of both sexes are
cssonitc and diamonds, ruby and dia-
monds, almadine OF purple garnets and
diamonds. All of these are of the most
attractive designs.
Many kinds OF precious stones are
now being used for jewel settings to
much greater degree than formerly.
Some of the names of the stones are
strangely unfamiliar to the wcarcr of
jcwclry. These fancy and precious
stone rings mounted in various designs,
single clustered and in combination,
comprise an infinite variety of stones,
including the following unusual ones:

Spincl, Star Sapphire, Tiger Eye and
Zircon. In addition to these there are
Chlorastrolites from Lake Superior,
Jade from New Zealand, Moss agates
from Wyoming, Phenacites from ST.
IBERIA and Colorado, Rutile from North
Carolina and White Chatoyancy. Every
one of these may be used and are used
for jewclry settings. The Spinel, which
is fashionable this season, is n particu-
larry beautiful stone. 1t is found in
Ceylon, Siam and Burmah. 1t has more
colors than the rainbow, an endless va
riety of tints, from ruby red, ycllowish
red, pink, purple and green. Not less
exquisite is the Peridol, with its tint of
olive green and yellow green, brown
and cinnamon-colorcd. Australia and
Ccylon arc noted for these gems. ESQ
mite is another name for the Hyacinth
OF Ceylon. 1t forms Il setting for many

Rich and simple studs for gentlemen
will be exceedingly fashionable, as the
vests will be cut lower for evening
dress Gold key rings as anchors for
gold key chains are much in vogue, and
all the jcwclry houses are supplying
them. Earrings are worn more than
evcr-especially the more beautiful and
expensive ones. Diamonds as usual
are the most popular. English and
foreign women often make the remark
that it rather borders on vIlgarity to
wear earrings at all times. English
women are loudcst in their denuncia-
ton of the practice. The reason for
this is not generally known. 1t is be-
cause the foreign jewelry is so vastly
inferior to the American. Most dia-
mond earrings possessed by English
ladies will not bear the light of
day. The stones are indifferently
set and are frequently not of
good quality. Diamonds for the Amer
lean market must be up to certain
standard or they will not sell. If Eng
lish women had as fine diamonds as
American women they would be adorn

tional guard horses. OF course the sub
division is endless. There are classes
for horses, mares and foals, and sep
ers and drivers and professionals. Pro-
fessional horscmen will be on hand to
show off ladies' horses.
This year the sire horses only figure
in one special class. The hackneys
promise to be n feature of the cxhibi-
ton from Il strictly horsey point of
view. The entries arc very numerous,
and there arc thirty-two prizes offcs,d
for them, aggrcgating $4,000. They
were introduced last year at the in
stance of Mr.. Seward Webb, and last
years display has great y increased the
interest in them. All entries must
have pedigrees recorded in the hack
ney stud book, of England. The horses
are all imported and vary in value from
$1,000 to $4,000. 1t is said that the ag-
grcgate value of this years entries in
the hackney class exceeds that of the
Garden itself.
In past years, the horses entered have
come chiefly fromscattcrcd states. This
year, the management caters to the
west. Arrangements have been made
with the trunk line railroads by which
all exhibited horses returned to the
west unsold within thirty days of the
close of the show will be returned free
to the point whence they came, their
transportation thus costing their owners
only the full fare one way.
Among the horses exhibited will be a
set of Irish hunters, recently imported
by cx-Mayor William Il. Grace, of New
York. The celebrated Tenny will also
be on exhibition. All the big stables
and stock farms, both of gentlemen
and breeders. will be represented, and 1t
is believed the collection OF horse flesh
will be tho finest ever seen In this coun-

the dealers and breeders who live at
the very antipodes of the four hundred
are among the most prominent exhib-
itors. Pretty nearly all classes help to
swell the success of the shows, and per-
haps that is one of the best features
of it.

Then are given all the fancy cxhibi-

beautiful displays. Then there are
hurdle riding and high jumping, and
this latter was pushed to such a point
last year that there has been much talk
of setting n limit of Leo's marvellous
record of seven feet--a record which
has only once been beaten. In any

IcopYI,IGuT. 1911

The chrySanthcmum show will hard
~ have como to an end when the Madi-
son square garden will be given up to
another fashionable cult-this time to
one in which the element of utility has
II fair share. The horse show will be-
gin there on Monday, November 16.
and will last the entire week. 1t will
be the seventh exhibition given by the
National Horse Show association Qim-
itcd), and the managers expect and
are preparing for the biggest kind of
success, both from Il social and equine
standpoint
New Yorll's four hundred are very
horscy these times. The fad has been
growing for years. 1t is not only Eng
lish, yc know, but also good in itself.
1t not only catches the Anglomanac
dudes but also the more solid and sensi-
bic elements of the social world. There
is money in the cultivation of fine
horses, and pleasure, too. Besides,
there is no fad that admits of so much
fashionable display. Every wom-
an who can afford to keep them
is proud of her high stepping
carriage horses. If Mrs Hamilton feels
that her beauties raise their knees an
inch higher than those of Mrs. Beau
Monde, she is Il truly happy woman.
If her daughter rides better and looks
trimmer and shaplicr in her habit than
her rivals girl, then she is in the
seventh heaven. The fad has u thou
sand qualifications, from four-in-hand
coaching down to pony phaetons by
the seaside, and every body who is any
body is either devoted to it or prctcnds
to be.
So the horse show has been steadily
increasing in favor year after year
The devotecs of fashion have not only
patronizcd it as hackers and exhibit
ors, but have also gone there in swarms
to sec the horses and each other. 1t is
said that over n hundred thousand per-
sons visited the garden last year, and
this year even a greater crush is eX-
pected. Of course, thousands who
don't care button for society swell
the throng. They go because they love

IA New Kind of Siguet Ring = Odd
Stones That Are Being Set in
rs Jcwelry-Rings for Men.
lcopYR1GHr, 1911

The prevailing styles this season are
marked by beauty, simplicity and elc-
gance, especially i'll rings, scarf pins
and bracelets. Ono would think that
of the myriads of different designs of
articles OF jewelry since the goldsmith's
art has been in existence that inven-
ton and imagination were exhausted
nevertheless, novelty comes and ingen-
uity is exhibited every season with
unremitting regularity. The great
jewelry houses never fail to have some
thing on hand different from last year.
Tiffany &c Co. literally ransaclk the
world for new gems, and art libraries
and picture galleries for novel forms
that may be used for trinlets for per-
sonal adornment. Clever workmen in
jewelry rack their brains for something
new. This is true of all the houses
who make speciality of these goods.
Amidst n glittcring collection of ban
giles and bracelets, brooches and pen
,dants, earrings and necklaces, all set
more or less with precious stones from
diamonds to tourmalines, all in the ag-
lgregate equal to the ransom of n score of
kings, the eye rests on what are appar-
emily narrow bands of gold twisted in
to fantastic shapes.
On closer examination they arc found
to be bow knots of colored etruscan
gold, highly chased and beautifully en-
graved Some are with clusters of one
pearl, one diamond, one sapphire and
one emerald. These articles are of
large size for ladies for brooches and
smaller as scarf pins for gentlemen.
The bow knot is carried through all
articles of jewelry this season. An ex-
quisite effect of watercd rilk rib
bon is given to some of these brooches
or breastpins. They are of various
colors, all delicate and on many the
enameling is different on both Sides
Most of this particular design are set
with diamonds. They are too compar-
atively moderate in price, ranging from
twcnty-six to sevcnty-tivc dollars, One

ing themselves on every possible oppor-

jewelry at all times and not only on fes
tive occasions, because they know it
will bear inspection, being of the high
est workmanship and finish.
Bracelets will also be much in favor
They will run chiefly to the form OF
chain with pendants of pearls and
precious stones as described. Pearls
are being worn more this season than
before. They are proving in some re-
spects formidable rivals to diamonds,

often in combination
